New minor risk - Earnings quality The company has large one-off items impacting its financial results. One-off items were 57% of the size of the rest of the company's trailing 12-month earnings before tax. This is considered a minor risk.

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 19% per year over the past 5 years. 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 declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. 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 Risks Interest payments are not well covered by earnings (2.5x net interest cover). Earnings have declined by 19% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows.

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. Even if it is a well established business, this may make it a much riskier investment than one that has a combination of proven competitive advantages and a stable or growing profit margin. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Interest payments are not well covered by earnings (2.5x net interest cover). Minor Risks Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (1.2% net profit margin). Board Change • Apr 23
