New major risk - Financial position The company's debt is not well covered by operating cash flow. Operating cash flow to total debt ratio: 0.3% This is considered a major risk. If the company's operating cash flows are too small relative to the size of their debt, it increases their balance sheet risk. The company has less cash from operations to cover its expenses from servicing large debt and it increases the risk of liquidity issues. It also extends the time it would take for the company to pay back the debt in full, meaning it may not be able to easily pay it all off in a distress scenario. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Annonce • Sep 26

If approved by the courts, the settlement agreement will provide a minimum recovery of $1,500 per eligible Hino truck. That amount will be split with 60% being allocated to the owner who initially purchased the truck new, and the remaining 40% being divided evenly between the other owners that submit a valid claim for that same truck. The settlement agreement will also provide additional warranty protections for class members. The settlement agreement requires approval from the courts in Quebec and British Columbia. If the settlement agreement is approved, the class action lawsuits will be fully resolved and the settlement funds will be distributed to class members. The settlement approval hearing dates are scheduled for May 6, 2025 in Vancouver, British Columbia and May 20, 2025 in Montreal, Quebec. Those who purchased or leased an eligible Hino truck must file a claim to be considered for compensation.

New major risk - Earnings quality The company has a high level of non-cash earnings. Accrual ratio: 29% 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 Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (currently running at an operating cash loss).
