New major risk - Earnings quality The company has a high level of non-cash earnings. Accrual ratio: 31% This is considered a major risk. Non-cash earnings can arise from many different things. However, if a company consistently has a high level of non-cash earnings, it may be a sign that they are recognizing revenue from customers before the full value of the sales are received as cash or they are not depreciating the value of their assets appropriately. These are practices that inflate earnings, while not providing a similar increase to cash flows. Companies in some select industries naturally have a high level of non-cash earnings and it is not a major concern. However, in the worst case scenario it can be an early sign of performance manipulation by management. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 11% per year for the foreseeable future. High level of non-cash earnings (31% accrual ratio). Minor Risk Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Reported Earnings • Nov 14

Equinor, RWE Reportedly to Place Joint Bid in Norwegian Offshore Tender Norwegian oil and gas group Equinor ASA (OB:EQNR) intends to take part in the bidding for Norway's Sorlige Nordsjo II area that could host up to 1.5 GW of offshore wind turbine capacity, according to a Reuters report. The bid will come from a partnership between Equinor and German energy major RWE AG (XTRA:RWE), the Norwegian group's CEO Anders Opedal has said on the sidelines of its third-quarter earnings presentation. Potentially, Soerlige Nordsjoe II could become home to wind farms with a combined capacity of between 1.4 GW and 1.5 GW. Bidding for the zone was initiated in March together with a tender for the Utsira Nord offshore wind area, which is temporarily on hold. Once completed, the two tenders will pave the way for the construction of the first large offshore wind parks in Norwegian waters. State support for the development of Soerlige Nordsjoe II stands at NOK 23 billion (USD 2.05 billion /EUR 1.94 billion). The level of financing was extended this summer in order to mitigate the effects of rising inflation and increased supply chain costs.
