New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 8.5% 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 Risk Earnings have declined by 8.5% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (8.6% average weekly change). Large one-off items impacting financial results. Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (1.2% net profit margin). Market cap is less than US$100m (€36.6m market cap, or US$40.8m). Annuncio • Jun 20

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 Risk Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (11% average weekly change).

New minor risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$100m. Market cap: €82.0m (US$91.8m) This is considered a minor 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 Risk Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (13% average weekly change).

Steppe Cement Ltd. Proposes Dividend for 2021 The Board of Steppe Cement Ltd. recommended the distribution of a 5 pence dividend in respect of 2021. However new regulations in Malaysia have created uncertainty about the tax treatment of foreign sourced dividend income for Malaysian corporates - meaning that income to Steppe Cement Sdn Bhd may be subject to a 24% withholding tax. Therefore before declaring the dividend, the Board is waiting for clarification regarding the exemption to this tax. It is the understanding of the Board that confirmation from the Malaysian authorities will be forthcoming shortly. The Kazakh subsidiaries already pay 20% profit tax in Kazakhstan.
