New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 59% per year over the past 5 years. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings have declined by 59% per year over the past 5 years.

illumin Holdings Inc. Announces Major Upgrade of Its Advertising Platform illumin Holdings Inc. announced a major upgrade of its advertising platform that delivers clear proof of programmatic performance, connecting advertising activity directly to meaningful business outcomes while budgets are active. The results are meaningful and measurable. illumin's ecosystem extends audience reach up to 50%, 40% lift in Connected TV performance, and 25% lower retargeting costs, resulting in clear incremental impact and stronger return on ad spend while budgets are still active. For years, marketers have been led to believe that advertising dollars directly translate to business outcomes. In reality, fragmentation, delayed insight, and disconnected measurement have made that difficult to prove at scale or with accuracy, leaving teams to justify results after the fact. illumin's platform upgrade eliminates post- campaign explanation by unifying execution, supply, its Identity Graph, and measurement into a single platform built for in-market learning. New platform enhancements, including Canvas, AI-powered Insights, and Impact, work together as one operating system designed for speed, scale, and control. Rather than adding more tools, illumin embeds performance visibility directly into the workflow, enabling marketers to move faster, learn sooner, and make confident decisions without relying on separate measurement layers.

New minor risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$100m. Market cap: CA$128.5m (US$96.1m) This is considered a minor risk. Companies with a small market capitalization are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 30% per year for the foreseeable future. Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 2 years (CA$3.6m net loss in 2 years). Market cap is less than US$100m (CA$128.5m market cap, or US$96.1m).
