New Risk • Nov 12
New major risk - Dividend sustainability The dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. Dividend per share is over 8x earnings per share. Cash payout ratio: 117% Dividend yield: 9.8% This is considered a major risk. Companies that pay out too much of their earnings and cash flows are at risk of having to reduce or cut their dividend in future. If earnings or cash flows stagnate or fall, then there may not be enough to maintain the same dividend. Or in extreme cases, companies may opt to dig into capital reserves or take on debt to maintain 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 Risks Dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. Dividend per share is over 8x earnings per share. Cash payout ratio: 117% Earnings have declined by 6.0% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Large one-off items impacting financial results.

New minor risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$100m. Market cap: NT$3.23b (US$98.3m) 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.
