New minor risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$100m. Market cap: ₩150.2b (US$99.6m) 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 Risks Earnings have declined by 1.7% per year over the past 5 years. High level of non-cash earnings (96% accrual ratio). Minor Risks Dividend is not well covered by cash flows (94% cash payout ratio). Market cap is less than US$100m (₩150.2b market cap, or US$99.6m). New Risk • Mar 20
New major risk - Earnings quality The company has a high level of non-cash earnings. Accrual ratio: 96% 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 have declined by 1.7% per year over the past 5 years. High level of non-cash earnings (96% accrual ratio). Minor Risk Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past. Declared Dividend • Mar 12
Dividend increased to ₩700 Dividend of ₩700 is 40% higher than last year. Ex-date: 30th March 2026 Payment date: 1st January 1970 Dividend yield will be 5.0%, which is higher than the industry average of 3.9%. Sustainability & Growth Dividend is well covered by both earnings (50% earnings payout ratio) and cash flows (48% cash payout ratio). The dividend has increased by an average of 20% 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 45% to shift the payout ratio to a potentially unsustainable range, which is more than the 12% EPS decline seen over the last 5 years.

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 1.7% 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 1.7% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risk Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past. Reported Earnings • Mar 15
