    The refinancing step and leadership change come after a challenging stretch for the share price, with a 30 day share price return of 26.54% and a 90 day share price return of 32.97%. However, the 1 year total shareholder return of 35.24% and 5 year total shareholder return of 181.71% show that longer term holders have still seen strong gains, suggesting recent momentum has been fading even as investors reassess the risk profile.
