Adjusted PBT (¹) (£m) +4.2% 2021 2020 2019 39.4 39.6 Adjusted EBITDA (¹) (£m) +6.3% 47.4 2021 2020 2019 In addition to the inclusion of LAICA, the increase in gross profits was also driven by increase in growth and margin in the appliance division. Net Debt (2) (£m) +37.6% 32.2 2021 30.9 2020 30.2 2019 40.5 38.1 36.9 Adjusted EBITDA stood at £40.5m, increasing by 6.3%, as result of factors including the impact of a number of headwinds which continue to persist including increases in commodity prices, freight cost inflation, supply chain and adverse foreign exchange rates. Dividends (Pence per share) +6.4% 51.2 2021 37.2 2020 26.3 2019 The resilience of the business model, flexible cost base and the inclusion of LAICA has led to the adjusted profit before tax increase of 4.2% to £32.2m. Net debt increased to £51.2m, which equates to a 1.3x trailing twelve months' EBITDA, comparing favourably to the Group's debt covenant of 2.5x and continues to underpin the Group's strong cash generation ability. 7.85 7.70 The Group reiterates its intention to implement a progressive dividend policy that is linked to underlying earnings for the full year and is confident in the continued strength of its cash generation. 1 2 Adjusted results exclude exceptional items, which include share-based payment transactions, COVID-19 related costs, and other reorganisation and strategic project costs. Adjusted results are non-GAAP metrics used by management and are not an IFRS disclosure.

Strix TECHNOLOGY Commentary Revenue: increased to £119.4m, 25.3% above FY2020 levels. This was partly due to the inclusion of LAICA revenues of £22.7m in FY 2021 (FY 2020: £4.1m), with the remaining increase of £5.5m realised from organic growth Adjusted operating profit¹: increased by 5.0% to £33.7m, showing an increase of £1.6m, mainly attributable to LAICA. Adjusted EBITDA¹: of £40.5m, representing a 6.3% increase on FY2020 levels, demonstrating Strix's strong ability to manage cost implications experienced over the period, which include higher supply chain-related costs, higher payroll costs, and higher advertising and promotional costs relating to the water and appliances categories. Adjusted PBT¹: Adjusted profit before tax was £32.2m (FY 2020: £30.9m), an increase of £1.3m (4.2%) on FY2020 levels, which included full LAICA contribution. Adjusted PAT¹: increased to £31.4m, a 6.4% increase on the prior year. The tax expense decreased in the current year mainly due to certain tax measures adopted with the move of operations to the new factory in Guangzhou, China. 00 8#9STRIX TECHNOLOGY Investor Presentation | FY2021 Final Results Gross Margin Analysis ☐ Margin in Kettle Controls has reduced through the year given the headwinds but it remains a strong and highly profitable business line, providing cash flow security for the Group and ensuring dividend sustainability 1 Kettle Controls -1.8% ☐ Margin growth driven by regulated market sales growth and price increases ☐ Margin offset by increases in commodity prices and a reduction in the less regulated market segment 2 Water category -0.2% 3 Appliances 4 Operations 5 Currency effects 1.4% 0.0% Impact of consolidating LAICA into Strix's financial statements has already been significantly reduced as a result of strong revenue growth and integration Some headwinds have remained for Water ex LAICA but these headwinds further enhance the strategy to bring the Water sourcing in-house to be more vertically integrated, helping to secure profit and ensure the security of the supply chain Increase in Appliances driven by strong sales growth at an increasing margin Growth realised from new products launched in this category and selling well on Amazon, with more sales expected in FY 2022 in anticipation of increased demand and further planned new product listings Margin increases from automation and insourcing and a continued focus on cost control Direct labour wages have increased as the Group continued to scale its headcount in line with management expectations and medium-term targets Continuous automation on NPD is a key to reduce wage pressure in the longer term -1.0% Weakening of foreign currencies against Pound Sterling which decreased the Pound value revenues of products priced in forex. This was offset partially by FX gains on costs in forex.

Acquisition of LAICA S.p.A in October 2020 for an initial consideration of €11.9m. Highly targeted acquisitions remain an important part of the Group's value creation strategy. Operating Cash Flow Fall in operating cash flow in 2021 predominantly driven by Group's investment in net working capital in the current year. Net working capital movements in FY2021 increased, reflecting a cash outflow of £11.4m compared to prior year, as a result of increased stock holdings at year-end due to forward procurement of commodities to secure future profits, increased debtors in line with an increase in the top line, and also due to VAT receivables, which will be reclaimed in FY 2022/2023. 03 Progressive Dividend Policy Pence per Share 2021 2020 2019 7.70 7.85 Conservative Balance 04 Sheet (£m) 2021 8.35 2020 2019 Net Debt 37.2 26.3 Strix TECHNOLOGY Net Debt/ Adj.
