New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 4.6% 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: Minor Risks High level of debt (51% net debt to equity).

WSP Upgrades Capabilities to Offer Advanced Geospatial LiDAR Services WSP has upgraded its surveying capabilities with mobile light detection and ranging (LiDAR) system following its recent purchase of a RIEGL VMX 2HA Mobile Scanning System. LiDAR is a remote sensing method that uses light in the form of a pulsed laser to measure varying distances to an infrastructure asset that is being surveyed. When processed, registered and combined with other surveying methods, these pulses generate precise, three-dimensional information rendering of assets. This high-precision, dual scanner mobile mapping system provides dense, accurate and data from highway-speed data gathering. The system is capable of 3.6 million measurements and 500 scan lines per second and is ideal for survey-grade mobile mapping applications. Another element of this system is the incorporation of the Ladybug 360-degree spherical camera. WSP is one of the first firms in the U.S. to utilize this Ladybug6 camera, which boasts multiple 72-megapixel cameras that captures 360-degree georeferenced imagery. The team is currently expanding this systems usage into other projects, such as airport runway pavement analysis. The team's involvement in the transition to digital project delivery is another priority for this expanding service. The team is essential in the creation of a "digital twin" of an asset, which is a virtual replica of an asset that incorporates associated real-time data during operation of that asset. Within the digital project delivery timeline, WSP is at the forefront in the creation of the digital twins, supporting change management efforts, and at the final stages with 'as-built' modeling of the built environment. WSP's Geospatial and Surveying team has been involved with remote sensing and LiDAR project delivery for the past 15-plus years with in-house drones, ground penetrating radars and terrestrial laser scanners. With this upgrade of the firm's mobile mapping technology, WSP is now at the forefront of offering clients a full suite of complimentary LiDAR data collection tools. Buying Opportunity • Oct 25
