New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 6.9% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (15% average weekly change). Dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. Paying a dividend despite being loss-making. Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Earnings have declined by 23% per year over the past 5 years. Market cap is less than US$10m (kr62.4m market cap, or US$5.68m).

New major risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$10m. Market cap: kr108.0m (US$9.95m) This is considered a major risk. Companies with a small market capitalization are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. Dividend per share is over 9x earnings per share. Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Earnings have declined by 6.2% per year over the past 5 years. Market cap is less than US$10m (kr108.0m market cap, or US$9.95m).

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 6.2% 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 Dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. Dividend per share is over 9x earnings per share. Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Earnings have declined by 6.2% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (13% average weekly change). Market cap is less than US$100m (kr108.0m market cap, or US$10.2m). New Risk • Mar 21
New major risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 90% of Swedish stocks, typically moving 13% a week.

It may also indicate the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (13% average weekly change). Dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. Dividend per share is over 9x earnings per share. Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows.

New major risk - Earnings quality The company has a high level of non-cash earnings. Accrual ratio: 53% 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 (53% accrual ratio). Minor Risks Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows.
