Declared Dividend • Jul 06
Dividend of CN¥0.10 announced Shareholders will receive a dividend of CN¥0.10. Ex-date: 10th July 2026 Payment date: 10th July 2026 Dividend yield will be 0.4%, which is lower than the industry average of 2.8%. Sustainability & Growth Dividend is not covered by earnings (122% earnings payout ratio) nor is it covered by cash flows (dividend approximately 5x free cash flows). The dividend has increased by an average of 10% per year over the past 8 years. However, payments have been volatile during that time. The company's earnings per share (EPS) would need to grow by 35% to bring the payout ratio under control. However, EPS has declined by 10% over the last 5 years so the company would need to reverse this trend. Ankündigung • Jun 30

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 3.3% 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 Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (11% average weekly change). Earnings have declined by 3.3% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Large one-off items impacting financial results. Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (2.6% net profit margin). Ankündigung • Apr 28

New major risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 90% of Chinese stocks, typically moving 9.5% a week. This is considered a major risk. Share price volatility increases the risk of potential losses in the short-term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. It may also indicate the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (9.5% average weekly change).

A large drop in profit margin could indicate the company does not have strong competitive advantages or it is yet to establish itself and its core business. Even if it is a well established business, this may make it a much riskier investment than one that has a combination of proven competitive advantages and a stable or growing profit margin. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows.
