New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 17% 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: Major Risks Interest payments are not well covered by earnings (0.6x net interest cover). Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (12% average weekly change). Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 0.4% per year for the foreseeable future.

MGI - Media and Games Invest SE Releases On-Device Targeting-AI ATOM 3.0 to 10,000+ Apps MGI - Media and Games Invest SE announced the release of ATOM 3.0, an industry-first on-device targeting solution for iOS that gives mobile marketers the ability to meaningfully predict the traits of anonymous users in a privacy compliant manner, providing a significant competitive advantage in an ecosystem where 75% of iOS users opt out of tracking, with a similar trend predicted on Android. By utilizing cutting-edge on-device AI technology, ATOM processes mobile device signals and real-world context to predict user traits and classify them into cohorts, providing advertisers with the tools needed to deliver highly personalized advertising experiences while ensuring full compliance with privacy regulations. Originally launched in 2021, ATOM 3.0 is now seamlessly integrated with MGI's HyBid SDK. The HyBid SDK provides advertisers with access to over 1.5 billion users across more than 10,000 apps worldwide. This unparalleled scale makes ATOM 3.0 the only currently available scalable solution for targeting ID-less users on mobile, ensuring that advertisers and publishers can maintain addressability and engagement with their audience while respecting user choice. To foster widespread adoption and maximize its impact across the digital advertising ecosystem, ATOM 3.0 will be made available for free for publishers and advertisers at the start, whereas based on substantially improved targeting possibilities, higher CPM's will be achieved. By analyzing a wide array of device signals and real-world contexts, such as app usage pattern, session duration, session depth, gestures, screen brightness and more, ATOM 3.0's sophisticated on-device machine learning models offer cohorts spanning across 10 key categories, including Behavioral, Demographic, Mobility, attention, Engagement, and also can classify users into special cohorts like "Tech Enthusiasts", "Active Gamers", "Health and Fitness Advocates", and "Frequent Shoppers" without user data ever leaving the device. Ad requests can be enriched with the cohorts to help advertisers make better decisions when IDs are available. This method provides advertisers with the tools needed to delivering highly personalized advertising experiences while ensuring fully compliance with privacy regulations, as no personal identifying information is transferred to third parties. As the digital advertising ecosystem grapples with the disappearance of traditional identifiers, the integration of ATOM 3.0 into MGI's Hybid SDK emerges as the only currently available scalable solution designed to future-proof advertising strategies against evolving privacy regulations and shifting consumer expectations.
