New Risk • May 21
New minor risk - Revenue size The company makes less than US$5m in revenue. Total revenue: LK₨1.7b (US$5.0m) This is considered a minor risk. Companies with a small amount of revenue 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. Payout ratio: 346% Cash payout ratio: 427% Earnings have declined by 8.2% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Revenue is less than US$5m (LK₨1.7b revenue, or US$5.0m). Market cap is less than US$100m (LK₨12.1b market cap, or US$35.3m). Reported Earnings • May 16

Net income: LK₨68.1m (up 5.2% from 1Q 2025). Profit margin: 15% (down from 16% in 1Q 2025). The decrease in margin was driven by higher expenses. Over the last 3 years on average, earnings per share has remained flat but the company’s share price has increased by 36% per year, which means it is well ahead of earnings.

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 3.9% 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. Payout ratio: 346% Dividend per share is over 5x cash flows per share. Earnings have declined by 3.9% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (9.3% average weekly change). Market cap is less than US$100m (LK₨12.8b market cap, or US$41.2m). Annuncio • Mar 09

New minor risk - Dividend sustainability The company has an unstable dividend paying track record. The dividend has had an annual drop of over 20% in the past. Dividend yield: 20% This is considered a minor risk. If the company has cut or reduced its dividend in the past, it may be a sign that the underlying business is too cyclical to consistently maintain or grow the dividend over the long-term. It may also indicate the company prioritizes other outcomes instead of maintaining the dividend. 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 Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (13% average weekly change). Minor Risks Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past. Market cap is less than US$100m (LK₨7.45b market cap, or US$24.7m).

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 Sri Lankan stocks, typically moving 10% a week. This is considered a major risk. Share price volatility 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. 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 (10% average weekly change).

New Risk • Feb 21
New major risk - Earnings quality The company has a high level of non-cash earnings. Accrual ratio: 22% 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 (22% accrual ratio). Minor Risks Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (9.6% net profit margin). Market cap is less than US$100m (LK₨4.64b market cap, or US$14.9m). Reported Earnings • Feb 21
