New minor risk - Profit margin trend The company's profit margins are lower than last year and have reduced by more than 30%.

Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (12% operating cash flow to total debt). Minor Risks Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past. Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (0.5% net profit margin).

Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (7.4% operating cash flow to total debt). Minor Risks Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past. Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (5.6% average weekly change).
