New major risk - Earnings quality The company has a high level of non-cash earnings. Accrual ratio: 21% 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 Risk High level of non-cash earnings (21% accrual ratio). Minor Risk Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (9.5% average weekly change). Reported Earnings • Mar 13

Upcoming dividend of NT$0.21 per share Eligible shareholders must have bought the stock before 05 August 2025. Payment date: 29 August 2025. Payout ratio is a comfortable 27% but the company is not cash flow positive. Trailing yield: 1.2%. Lower than top quartile of Taiwanese dividend payers (5.3%). Lower than average of industry peers (3.6%). New Risk • Jul 17
New minor risk - Dividend sustainability The dividend is not well covered by cash flows. Cash payout ratio: 0% Dividend yield: 5.3% This is considered a minor risk. Dividends are ultimately paid out of the company's available cash reserves. Companies that pay out too much of their cash flow are at risk of having to reduce or cut their dividend in future. If cash flow growth slows or cash flows fall, then there may not be enough cash reserves to maintain the same dividend. Or in extreme cases, companies may opt to take on debt to maintain the dividend. This risk is mitigated by the fact the dividend is covered by earnings, however, cash flows are generally more important. For dividend paying companies, any reduction in the dividend can significantly impact the share price. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Shares are highly illiquid. Minor Risks Dividend is not well covered by cash flows (0% cash payout ratio). Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (2.5% net profit margin). Declared Dividend • Jul 11

Sustainability & Growth Dividend is covered by earnings (27% earnings payout ratio) but the company has no free cash flows available, indicating it may be using cash reserves or debt to pay the dividend. The dividend has decreased over the past 10 years, indicating a lack of growth and stability in payments. Earnings per share has grown by 27% over the last 5 years. Unless this trend reverses, it should provide support to the dividend and adequate earnings cover. New Risk • May 15

A large drop in profit margin could indicate the company does not have strong competitive advantages or it is yet to establish itself and its core business.
