Market volatility – positioning for future opportunities
Trump tariffs

• Trade negotiations are driving volatility in

markets and share prices in the immediate term

• Current policy uncertainty significantly affects

business decision making

• Consequential earnings downgrades seem

likely, though hard to quantify currently

• Ultimate tariff levels likely higher than previous,

weighing on economic growth and increasing

inflation

• Uncertain environment persists – what changes

next?

A Closer Look at our Investment Approach
Attributes of a high-quality company that we seek:

• Unique assets that are hard to replicate or have an

Industry leadership position (or developing one)

• Sustainability of competitive advantage

• Not unduly burdened by external risk factors

• Conservative balance sheets (low debt)

• Consistency of earnings

• Run by effective, passionate management with

ownership alignment

Why this matters:

• The presence of these factors drives a competitive

advantage

• Which leads to high return on capital

• And allows for reinvestment opportunities

to drive growth

• Which allows for market share capture – and

further enhancement of leadership position

• Which combines to deliver long term shareholder

value creation

We seek to buy these companies when we identify long term value and reduce

or exit when they no longer meet these characteristics.

Rationale for raising additional capital
20

•Market volatility – we have seen greater opportunities arise in early 2025, positioning for more

•Replenishing capital – since our first special dividend in 2013, $81 mil paid out in cash dividends

and Capital Gains Tax, net of capital raised through DRPs and SPPs

•Investment flexibility – tax effective portfolio repositioning as selected stock weightings can be

reduced without selling down holdings

•Mirrabooka shareholders have consistently expressed interest in supporting further capital raising

•Significant franking credit reserves to support dividend capacity on additional shares

•Scale – absence of FUM linked fees means shareholders benefit from reduced MER
