New minor risk - Earnings quality The company has large one-off items impacting its financial results. One-off items were 81% of the size of the rest of the company's trailing 12-month earnings before tax. This is considered a minor risk. One-off items are incomes or expenses that the company does not expect to repeat in future periods. Examples include profits from the sale of a business or expenses from a restructuring or legal settlements. If the company's reported statutory earnings include a large proportion of one-off items it means they may be an unreliable indicator of its true business performance as the earnings were skewed by these incomes or expenses. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. Payout ratio: 159% Cash payout ratio: 156% Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (8.0% average weekly change). Large one-off items impacting financial results.

New minor risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$100m. Market cap: ฿3.70b (US$99.7m) This is considered a minor risk.

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: Minor Risks Dividend is not well covered by cash flows (216% cash payout ratio). Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (6.0% average weekly change). Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (11% net profit margin).
