Quality

45

of 100 · stored research reading

Stored Quality research reads 45 of 100, in the weaker band of the covered universe. This is a research reading about business durability, not a view on the share price.

Quality research measures durability of the business itself from stored fundamentals: balance-sheet strength, profitability consistency and cash generation. It is a research reading, not a prediction of future returns.

How this is measured

Fundamental Momentum

59

of 100 · stored research reading

Stored Fundamental Momentum research reads 59 of 100. This describes reported financial change already disclosed, with no forward-looking claim.

Fundamental Momentum research measures the direction of recently reported company fundamentals compared with the company's own history. It describes reported change, not future price movement.

How this is measured

Capital Returns

Moderate

46

of 100 · stored research reading

Stored Capital Returns research reads 46 of 100, recorded as moderate. No dividend is recorded for this company, so the reading rests on buybacks and dilution control. Share count has increased at about 0.7% a year in the stored window.

Capital Returns research measures how a company has actually returned cash to shareholders: dividend record, buyback effectiveness, dilution control and how those payments were funded.

Our principal business is operated through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Hillman, which had net sales of approximately $1,552.2 million in 2025.

We support product sales with services that include design and installation of merchandising systems, maintenance of appropriate in-store inventory levels, and break-fix for our robotics kiosks.

Hillman's corporate headquarters is located at 1280 Kemper Meadow Drive, Cincinnati, Ohio. We maintain a website at www.hillmangroup.com . Information contained or linked on our website is not incorporated by reference into this annual report and should not be considered a part of this annual report.

In 1964, Max Hillman established Hillman Bolt & Screw Corporation in Cincinnati, Ohio when he purchased a franchise operation from Sharon Bolt & Screw, a hardware fastener company. Max began distributing fasteners to independent hardware stores in southern Ohio and northern Kentucky, with a relentless commitment to service.

Max’s two sons, Mick Hillman and Rick Hillman, joined their father’s company in 1969, as Hillman’s customer base and distribution network continued to grow. In 1982, Hillman Bolt & Screw was purchased by Sun Distributors followed by Max’s retirement shortly thereafter. Mick and Rick took over the day-to-day operations of the business in 1984.
