New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 3.1% per year for the foreseeable future. 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 expected to decline, then in most cases the share price will decline over time as well. 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 are forecast to decline by an average of 3.1% per year for the foreseeable future. Minor Risk Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past. Reported Earnings • Mar 18

New minor risk - Insider selling There has been significant insider selling in the company's shares over the past 3 months. Total value of shares sold: HK$5.1m This is considered a minor risk. There are several reasons why an insider may be selling, including to cover a tax obligation or pay for some other expense. However, we generally consider it a negative if insiders have been selling, especially if they do so below the current price. It implies that they considered a lower price to be reasonable. This is a weak signal, but if there is a pattern of unexplained selling, it can be a sign the insider believes the company's stock is overpriced. Note: We only include open market transactions and private dispositions of directly owned stock by individuals, not by corporations or trusts. 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.

Vesync Co., Ltd Provides Earnings Guidance for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 Vesync Co. Ltd. provided earnings guidance for the six months ended June 30, 2022. For the period, the Group expects to record a decrease of approximately 40% to 60% in the profit attributable to owners of the parent for the Relevant Period as compared to that for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The expected decrease in profit attributable to owners of the parent company for the Relevant Period was mainly due to (i) the significant increase in cost of sales as compared to the corresponding period in 2021, primarily attributable to the rise in freight costs of not less than approximately 70% as compared to the corresponding period in 2021, resulting in a drop in the overall gross profit margin; (ii) the increase in loss resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates arose from the depreciation of non-US dollars (such as Euro, British Pound and Japanese Yen, being the currencies of the countries (except the United States) to which the Group sold its products during the Relevant Period) against US dollar of not less than approximately USD 3,000,000, representing an increase of not less than approximately 320% as compared to the corresponding period in 2021; and (iii) the significant increase in staff costs of not less than approximately 70% as compared to the corresponding period in 2021 mainly due to the increase in number of employees of the Group as its business expands. The rise in international freight rate in 2021 had a significant impact on the Group's cost of sales during the second half of the 2021 and the Relevant Period, thereby reducing the Group's gross profit. The international freight rate has dropped in the Relevant Period in 2022, and it is expected that the impact on the Group's gross profit margin caused by the increase in freight rates in 2021 will be alleviated. The Group's gross profit margin rate for the Relevant Period in 2022 increased by approximately 4 to 6 percentage points as compared to the second half of 2021. Anuncio • Jun 16
