   THE BI-WEEKLY BOTTOM LINE

   Company Execution, Not Transactions, Carried the Period

   This slide summarizes the two-week period across 10 covered names, close to close.

   Company execution, not transactions, carried the two-week period across our 10 covered names. Five of ten names fell while the median move sat at -0.1%, trailing the S&P 500's +1.6% gain over the same window. That gap tells us the sector's public-market performance was driven by company-specific news rather than a broad tailwind. So what: investors and operators should weigh individual catalysts over sector-wide sentiment right now.

(PSIX) rose +18.2% over the two-week period, with +13.6% on Sep 17 its largest day. Twin Disc, Incorporated (TWIN) added +8.4%. 3 China Yuchai Posted the Period's Largest Decline China Yuchai International Limited (CYD) fell -5.6% over the two-week period, including -9.8% on Sep 24, its sharpest single day. 4 Operating News, Not Transactions, Filled the Window GE Aerospace (GE) marked a propulsion programme milestone, Woodward, Inc. (WWD) set a controls footprint move and Brunswick Corporation (BC) announced a CEO retirement. The transaction record held at 23 precedents, a 13.2x median EV / EBITDA. +18.2% Best mover — PSIX worst: CYD -5.6% · 5 up / 5 down of 10 covered -0.1% Sector median two-week return vs S&P 500 +1.6%

   PUBLIC MARKET MOVERS

   Small Caps Set the Range While the Median Name Barely Moved

   This slide charts each covered company's two-week share-price move against the sector median and S&P 500.

   Small caps set the range this period: Power Solutions International (PSIX) rose +18.2% and Twin Disc (TWIN) added +8.4%, while China Yuchai (CYD) fell -5.6%, with its sharpest day down -9.8% on Sep 24. The sector median barely moved, at -0.1%, well behind the S&P 500's +1.6%. We size moves against a ±6.2% materiality bar so readers can separate signal from noise. So what: the dispersion between smaller names and the median points to company-specific drivers, not a sector-wide move.

(PSIX) +18.2% No notable in-window news was identified that clearly explains the move. The +18.2% two-week gain, including +13.6% on Sep 17, ran well ahead of the -0.1% median across the 10 covered names. Smaller propulsion names carry wide trading ranges; durable value still sits in the installed base and aftermarket earnings. UNEXPLAINED China Yuchai International Limited (CYD) -5.6% No notable in-window news was identified that clearly explains the move. The -5.6% two-week move, including -9.8% on Sep 24, sat below the -0.1% median across the 10 covered names. Engine names weighted to original-equipment shipments trade the cycle more directly than those with a thicker service tail. UNEXPLAINED Twin Disc, Incorporated (TWIN) +8.4% No notable in-window news was identified that clearly explains the move. At +8.4%, the two-week gain sat ahead of the -0.1% median across the 10 covered names. Marine drive and transmission demand tracks dealer pull-through, which lands in book-to-bill before it lands in revenue. UNEXPLAINED

   MAJOR NEWS & INDUSTRY CATALYSTS

   Programme Milestones, a Footprint Decision and a Succession Headline

   This slide lists the two-week period's highest-impact company news and industry catalysts.

   The period's highest-impact events were operational: GE Aerospace (GE) marked a propulsion programme milestone, Woodward (WWD) set a controls footprint move, and Brunswick Corporation (BC) paired dealer momentum with a CEO retirement announcement. Each event links back to its underlying filing or article so the evidence trail stays verifiable. So what: these are the catalysts most likely to shape near-term company narratives, ahead of any transaction activity.

   M&A & STRATEGIC ACTIVITY

   No New Transactions; The Standing Record Still Sets the Reference

   This slide confirms no new transactions were recorded this period and restates the standing precedent set.

   No new transactions joined the record this two-week period. The standing set of 23 recorded deals still anchors valuation at a 13.2x median EV/LTM EBITDA. So what: with the reference set unchanged, that multiple remains the benchmark acquirers and owners should use until new precedents arrive.

   WHAT IT MEANS

   What a Quiet Transaction Period Changes, and What It Does Not

   This slide translates the period's evidence into implications for owners, acquirers and advisors.

   For owners and operators, the tight trading band — 5 of 10 names down, a -0.1% median move — says operating news, not deal activity, set the tone. For acquirers, the reference set holds at 23 trailing precedents and a 13.2x median EV/EBITDA, unchanged this period. For advisors, the strongest evidence was operational: GE Aerospace's propulsion milestone, Woodward's certified footprint move, and Brunswick's dealer momentum alongside its CEO transition. So what: certified content and installed-base earnings remain the levers that decide where value sits.

(WWD), and marine dealer momentum plus a CEO transition at Brunswick Corporation (BC).

   SOURCES & METHODOLOGY

   Sources, Methodology and Important Notice

   This slide explains the sources and methodology behind the update and states the important notice.

   Every figure in this update links back to the record it was taken from — SEC filings, press releases and established outlets, admitted in that reliability order. We never draw on video or social platforms, and driver attributions use calibrated language rather than asserted causation. So what: readers can trace every claim in this deck to its source before acting on it.

   Everything on this page

   SOURCES & METHODOLOGY Sources, Methodology and Important Notice How this bi-weekly update is built and what each kind of statement rests on · September 14–28, 2026 · market data through 2026-09-28 Every figure in this update links to the record it was taken from; the publishers and filings drawn on for the period are listed above. Propulsion and Engine Systems Bi-Weekly Update | September 14–28, 2026 | Confidential | Not investment advice 7 OBSERVED DATA Bi-Weekly stock moves are computed close-to-close over the stated window from the platform’s price series. Deal records, values and multiples come from the platform’s transaction record (SEC 8-K extractions) exactly as recorded; each figure links to its citation. Treasury rates come from the platform’s Treasury series and are shown only when the 10-year moved at least ten basis points over the window (it did not in this window, so no rate figures appear). UNIVERSE QUALITY The update universe is the platform’s approved company set for this sector, subject to a $100M market-cap floor so small, loosely related names cannot dominate the statistics. No covered name fell below the floor in this window. EVENTS & NEWS Company events are in-window 8-K filings; news items are publisher-sourced headlines fetched for the window (and any externally supplied items, marked as such). Operational and strategic developments (deals, partnerships, launches, expansion, guidance, leadership, regulatory outcomes) are shown first; capital-return mechanics and conference appearances are limited to one each. Every event links to its source. The deck never asserts an event that has no linked record. SOURCE HIERARCHY News is admitted in a fixed order of reliability: SEC filings first, then company press releases and investor-relations communications, then transaction documents, then established outlets (Reuters, CNBC, The Wall Street Journal, Barron’s and peers). Video and social platforms — including YouTube — are never used as sources. DRIVER ATTRIBUTION A stock move is linked to an event only when the event falls inside the window, and only in calibrated language ("the move appears to reflect…", "shares moved following…"). Where no driver is recorded, the page says so and compares the move to the sector median instead. ANALYTICAL INTERPRETATION "Why it matters", "why the deal happened" and the what-it-means page are NeuraCap analytical views drawn from the recorded evidence, and are labeled as such. INHERITED CONTEXT The standing sector view (thesis, valuation lens, sector median and tiering) is inherited from the NeuraCap sector study run_20260928T110314Z_353_prod (market data as of 2026-09-28) — distilled, never re-derived. That report’s own sources page governs its content; this update reads the period against it. IMPORTANT NOTICE This report is informational only. It is not investment advice, not a recommendation to buy or sell any security, and not an offer of any kind. Readers should perform their own diligence before acting on anything described here.
