New major risk - Earnings quality The company has a high level of non-cash earnings. Accrual ratio: 22% 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 Dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. Payout ratio: 96% Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. High level of non-cash earnings (22% accrual ratio). Minor Risk Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (3.4% net profit margin). Reported Earnings • Jul 25

Apacer Showcases the Latest in Backup and Recovery Technology at Automate 2024 Apacer announced that the company announced that the company has announced that the company has announced the latest developments in the AI field, and following in the wake of the world's recovery from COVID-19, the transition of factories to partial or full automation proceeds with unstoppable momentum. And the best place to learn about the latest technologies that aim to make this transition as painless as possible is at Automate 2024. This is North America's largest robotics and automation event, and it will be held in Chicago, Illinois from May 6 to 9. Automate attracts professionals from around the world, and Apacer is no exception. Apacer team will be on hand to discuss the latest technological developments created by company experienced R&D team. Many of these developments were specifically created to reduce the pain points commonly experienced by fully automated facilities. Take CoreSnapshot, for example. This backup and recovery technology can restore a crash system to full operation in just a few seconds, reducing downtime and associated maintenance costs. Apacer recently updated CoreSnapshot, creating CoreRescue ASR and CoreRescue USR. The name of CoreRescue ASR refers to Auto Self Recovery. This technology will harness AI to learn the system booting process and analyze how long a boot should take. If this average boot time is significantly longer than usual, the system will trigger the self-recovery process and revert to an earlier, uncor disrupted version of the drive's content. CoreRescue USR offers similar functionality, except the self-reco recovery process is triggered by connecting a small USB stick drive. Other value-adding technologies will be on display at Automate as well. These include anti-sulfuration protection, which is invaluable to factories located in areas with large amounts of sulfur in the air, and SLC-liteX, which allows a customer to select the ideal tradeoff between drive capacity and endurance that meets their specific needs. In fact, SLC-liteX can even deliver up to 100,000 P/E cycles upon request.

Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (6.2% average weekly change). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (4.9% increase in shares outstanding). Ankündigung • Mar 12
Apacer Demonstrates Healthcare-Optimized Solutions At HIMSS HIMSS is one of the trade shows focusing on the latest tech developments as they relate to the healthcare and medical industries. And this year, Apacer returns to HIMSS with even more products and technologies to share with healthcare customers. Apacer announced that it's brand-new combination of CoreSnapshot and CoreRescue Auto Self Recovery (ASR) and Self Recovery through USB Drive (USR) is part of a collaboration with the well-known healthcare equipment provider Onyx. CoreSnapshot, which is already very popular with buyers, is a quick and easy drive backup technology that helps keep drives up and running even in the event of a cyberattack. Now it's joined by CoreRescue ASR and CoreRescue USR, which can internally automate the backup and recovery process based on an analysis of how the system normally functions. Healthcare professionals know that if just one device malfunctions before a surgery, it can lead to rescheduling dreams and lost income. CoreRescue ASR & CoreRescue USR will keep devices up and running when they need to be. Apacer and Onyx will work together to present a demonstration of CoreRescue USR which will be held during the trade show, so if you're attending HIMSS, user definitely can't afford to miss it! In addition, Apacer will be showcasing SSDs that offer extremely low power consumption, including industrial SD and microSD cards as well as eMMCs. These are sure to find homes in wearable healthcare devices like portable monitors. Medical professionals will also appreciate that many of drives are available with ESD protection, such as UV110-UFD5. This means that even if nearby devices discharge static electricity, the drive will ensure data is not affected in any way. Furthermore, Apacer offers PCIe SSDs with CorePower, a technology that ensures drives always have the power they need to safely shut down, even in the event of a sudden unexpected power loss. Other highlights come in the form of Apacer's robust and diverse range of DRAM modules will also be on display. This year, the star of the show is clearly the fully lead-free DRAM modules developed by Apacer's in-house engineers. Anyone who sources these memory modules will never need to worry about RoHS lead exemptions again. And customers are sure to recognize their unique contribution to ESG, particularly the environmental part. Apacer's booth will be manned by knowledge and personable colleagues who will be happy to discuss any aspect of the storage industry. So come visit Apacer at HIMSS24. We'll be at Booth 2292, March 12-14, 2024, at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando. Reported Earnings • Mar 05

New Risk • Mar 03
New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 4.9% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past. Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (4.9% increase in shares outstanding). Valuation Update With 7 Day Price Move • Feb 27
