New minor risk - Dividend sustainability The dividend is not well covered by cash flows. Cash payout ratio: 104% Dividend yield: 2.6% 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 are forecast to decline by an average of 11% per year for the foreseeable future. Minor Risks Dividend is not well covered by cash flows (104% cash payout ratio). Large one-off items impacting financial results. Declared Dividend • Nov 10

The dividend has increased by an average of 31% per year over the past 2 years and payments have been stable during that time. EPS is expected to decline by 31% over the next 3 years. However, it would need to fall by 69% to increase the payout ratio to a potentially unsustainable range. Reported Earnings • Nov 08

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 2.6% 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.

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.

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 Japanese stocks, typically moving 8.3% a week.
