Smead Capital Management Overview
> A contrarian approach– Founded in 2007
– Headquartered in Phoenix, AZ

Smead Capital Management is a Phoenix-based investment firm that manages a high quality, U.S. large-cap value portfolio with boringly dry turnover. The company was formed to allow investors to benefit from long-term ownership of common stocks meeting the firm’s eight proprietary investment criteria.

Investment Philosophy and Portfolio Traits
Our Investment Philosophy
1. Valuation matters dearly to investment success
2. We are business owners on behalf of our clients and shareholders
3. We seek out high-quality businesses to focus our research
Portfolio Traits
> Generally U.S. domiciled
> Typically 25-30 securities
> Typically 40-50% of portfolio in top ten holdings
> Portfolio weightings driven by:
– Our Eight Investment Criteria
– Stock performance
> Low turnover (~15-25%)
> Time frame:
– Buy criteria assumes a 3- to 5-year holding period
– Desired holding periods are 5+ years
5
Eight Investment Criteria
Our portfolio managers evaluate and purchase stocks based on the following Eight Investment Criteria:
> Required over entire holding period
1. Meets an economic need
2. Strong competitive advantage (wide moats or barriers to entry)
3. Long history of profitability and strong operating metrics
4. Generates high levels of free cash flow
5. Available at a low price in relation to intrinsic value
> Favored, but not required
6. Management’s history of shareholder friendliness
7. Strong balance sheet
8. Strong insider ownership (preferably with recent purchases)
Every company we own must satisfy the required criteria. For companies that do not also meet the favored criteria, we believe these short-term conditions will be ultimately corrected or overwhelmed by the required criteria.
6
Sell Discipline
Risk Management
> Successful investments likely to be trimmed if weighting becomes outsized (in the 8-10% range)
Change in Thesis
> Company fundamentals violate our Eight Investment Criteria
> Maniacal pricing
Downside Protection
> When a security falls 15-20% from our purchase price or relative to a peer group, the portfolio managers execute a formal, intensified review

Trailing Returns (%)As of June 30, 2020
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Source: Smead Capital Management. Capital Appreciation Composite Gross & Net of Fees performance numbers for all time periods are preliminary. The Capital Appreciation Composite includes all fully discretionary accounts invested in equities of U.S. companies and American Depository Receipts (ADRs) whose objective is long-term capital appreciation with a relatively concentrated portfolio which may typically own 25 to 30 different securities. The top 10 holdings may constitute greater than 50% of portfolio assets. These accounts are primarily concerned with appreciation, not high dividend yield. This composite was created in March 2008. A complete list of composite descriptions is available upon request. Valuations are computed and performance is reported in U.S. dollars. Past performance is not indicative of future results. As with any investment vehicle there is always the potential for gains as well as the possibility of losses. On December 31, 2008, 48% of the composite is composed of non-fee paying portfolios. As a result of the verification, certain previously reported composite information has been changed to reflect changes in composite membership. Gross-of-fees returns are presented before management and custodial fees but after all trading expenses. Composite and benchmark returns are presented net of non-reclaimable withholding taxes and reflect the reinvestment of dividends and other earnings. Net-of-fees returns are calculated by deducting the actual management fees paid each quarter. The standard advisory fee is 0.85% on the market value. Fees may be negotiated in lieu of the standard fee schedule. Please see important disclosures at the back of this presentation.

Capital Appreciation Composite Presentation
*For the period March 1, 2008 (inception) to December 31, 2008.Firm: Smead Capital Management (“SCM”) is an independently owned investment advisor that is not affiliated with any parent organization. Policies for valuing portfolios, calculating performance and preparing compliant presentations are available upon request.Basis of Presentation: SCM claims compliance with the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS®) and has prepared and presented this report in compliance with the GIPS standards. SCM has been independently verified for the periods July 1, 2007 to December 31, 2019. Verification assesses whether (1) the firm has complied with all the composite construction requirements of the GIPS standards on a firm-wide basis and (2) the firm’s policies and procedures are designed to calculate and present performance in compliance with the GIPS standards. The Capital Appreciation Composite has been examined for the periods March 1, 2008 to December 31, 2019. The verification and examination reports are available upon request.Composite Criteria: The Capital Appreciation Composite includes all fully discretionary accounts invested in equities of U.S. companies and American Depository Receipts (ADRs) whose objective is long-term capital appreciation with a relatively concentrated portfolio, which may typically own 25 to 30 different securities. The top 10 holdings may constitute greater than 50% of portfolio assets. These accounts are primarily concerned with appreciation, not high dividend yield. Accounts managed to the strategy will invest in companies with market capitalization within the range of the Russell 1000® Value Index.Composite Creation: This composite was created in March 2008. A complete list of composite descriptions is available upon request. Valuations are computed and performance is reported in U.S. dollars. Past performance is not indicative of future results. As with any investment vehicle there is always the potential for gains as well as the possibility of losses. On December 31, 2008, 48% of the composite is composed of non-fee paying portfolios. Comparison with Market Index: The benchmark is the Russell 1000 Value Index. The Russell 1000 Value Index measures the performance of the large-cap value segment of the U.S. equity universe. It includes those Russell 1000 companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower expected growth values. The Russell 1000 Value Index is constructed to provide a comprehensive and unbiased barometer for the large-cap value segment. The returns for the index do not include any transaction costs, management fees or other costs. Benchmark returns are not covered by the report of independent verifiers.Fees Calculation: Gross-of-fees returns are presented before management and custodial fees but after all trading expenses. Composite and benchmark returns are presented net of non-reclaimable withholding taxes and reflect the reinvestment of dividends and other earnings. Net-of-fees returns are calculated by deducting the actual management fees paid each quarter. The standard advisory fee is 0.85% on the market value. Fees may be negotiated in lieu of the standard fee schedule.Internal Dispersion: Internal dispersion is calculated using the asset-weighted standard deviation of annual gross returns of those portfolios that wereincluded in the composite for the entire year. For years where less than six portfolios were included in the composite for the full year, the measure is not statistically representative and is not presented.”Standard Deviation: The three-year annualized standard deviation measures the variability of the composite and the benchmark returns over the preceding 36-month period. It is not required to be presented for annual periods prior to 2011 or when a full three years of performance is not yet available.
