Comments by the CEO on 2024 first quarter trading

During the meeting, Graham Dunford, chief executive of Hudaco, made the following comments on trading
for the first quarter:

       “Hudaco’s first quarter includes the holiday months of December and January. Therefore, it is not a
       reliable indicator of how H1 trading will unfold. Thus far, our engineering consumables businesses have
       continued their strong performance from last year, while our consumer-related products businesses
       remain under pressure due to weak consumer spending in the current economic climate. The
       overstocked position in our alternative energy businesses, which we highlighted previously, has not
       shown any meaningful correction. Market oversupply has resulted in significant pressure on price
       recovery in these businesses, which in perspective, contributed 5% of group turnover in 2023.”
