New Risk • Jan 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 Japanese stocks, typically moving 8.9% 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 Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (7.1% operating cash flow to total debt). Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (8.9% average weekly change). Earnings have declined by 6.7% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Large one-off items impacting financial results. Market cap is less than US$100m (JP¥8.39b market cap, or US$55.0m). Valuation Update With 7 Day Price Move • Jan 28

New major risk - Financial position The company's debt is not well covered by operating cash flow. Operating cash flow to total debt ratio: 7.1% This is considered a major risk. If the company's operating cash flows are too small relative to the size of their debt, it increases their balance sheet risk. The company has less cash from operations to cover its expenses from servicing large debt and it increases the risk of liquidity issues. It also extends the time it would take for the company to pay back the debt in full, meaning it may not be able to easily pay it all off in a distress scenario. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (7.1% operating cash flow to total debt). Earnings have declined by 6.7% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (5.6% average weekly change). Large one-off items impacting financial results. Market cap is less than US$100m (JP¥6.20b market cap, or US$39.6m). Declared Dividend • Nov 17
Dividend of JP¥10.00 announced Dividend of JP¥10.00 is the same as last year. Ex-date: 30th March 2026 Payment date: 25th June 2026 Dividend yield will be 2.3%, which is about the same as the industry average. Sustainability & Growth Dividend is well covered by both earnings (30% earnings payout ratio) and cash flows (16% cash payout ratio). The dividend has increased by an average of 2.9% per year over the past 10 years. However, payments have been volatile during that time. The company's earnings per share (EPS) would need to decline by 66% to shift the payout ratio to a potentially unsustainable range, which is more than the 8.1% EPS decline seen over the last 5 years.
