New major risk - Dividend sustainability The dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. Payout ratio: 116% Cash payout ratio: 96% Dividend yield: 7.8% This is considered a major risk. Companies that pay out too much of their earnings and cash flows are at risk of having to reduce or cut their dividend in future. If earnings or cash flows stagnate or fall, then there may not be enough to maintain the same dividend. Or in extreme cases, companies may opt to dig into capital reserves or take on debt to maintain the dividend. For dividend paying companies, any reduction in the dividend can significantly impact the share price. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company.

Dividend of د.إ0.03 announced Shareholders will receive a dividend of د.إ0.03. Ex-date: 14th August 2026 Payment date: 2nd September 2026 Dividend yield will be 13%, which is higher than the industry average of 3.0%.

The dividend has increased by an average of 16% per year over the past 2 years. However, payments have been volatile during that time. The company's earnings per share (EPS) would need to grow by 29% to bring the payout ratio under control. EPS is expected to grow by 10% over the next 3 years, which means the dividend may need to be reduced to reach a sustainable payout ratio. Anuncio • Aug 01

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 5.1% 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 Risks Dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. Payout ratio: 116% Cash payout ratio: 91% Earnings have declined by 5.1% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risk Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (5.0% average weekly change).
