New minor risk - Dividend sustainability The dividend is not well covered by cash flows. Cash payout ratio: 97% Dividend yield: 5.0% 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 Earnings have declined by 8.2% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Dividend is not well covered by cash flows (97% cash payout ratio). Market cap is less than US$100m (P861.0m market cap, or US$63.5m). New Risk • Feb 25
New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of Batswana stocks, typically moving 0.9% a week.

It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings have declined by 8.2% per year over the past 5 years.
