2. Responsibilities

This financial analysis was prepared by the Hauck Aufhäuser Lampe Privatbank AG analyst named on the front page (the “Author”). The Author is solely responsible for the opinions and estimates expressed therein. The analysis was produced independently.

The content of the financial analysis was not influenced at any time by the issuer of the analyzed financial instrument.

4. Information relating to valuation methods/update

The fair value per share, i.e. the price target and the resultant recommendation, is determined on the basis of the adjusted free cash flow (adj. FCF) method and on the basis of the discounted cash flow – DCF model. Furthermore, a peer group comparison is carried out.

The adj. FCF method is based on the assumption that investors purchase assets at a price (enterprise value) at which the operating cash flow return after taxes on this investment exceeds their opportunity costs in the form of a hurdle rate of 7.5%. The operating cash flow is calculated as EBITDA less maintenance capex and taxes.

The DCF approach involves calculating the future free cash flows initially on the basis of a fictitious capital structure of 100% equity, i.e., interest and repayments on debt capital are initially not factored in. The adjustment toward the actual capital structure is conducted by discounting the calculated free cash flows with the weighted average cost of capital (WACC), which takes into account both the cost of equity capital and the cost of debt capital. After discounting, the calculated total enterprise value is reduced by the interest-bearing debt capital in order to arrive at the equity value.

Hauck Aufhäuser Lampe Privatbank AG uses the following three-step rating system for the analyzed companies:

Buy: Sustainable upside potential of more than 10% within 12 months.

Sell: Sustainable downside potential of more than 10% within 12 months.

Hold: Limited upside/downside potential. No immediate catalyst visible.

NB: The ratings of Hauck Aufhäuser Lampe Privatbank AG are not based on a performance that is expected to be “relative” to the market.
