New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 19% 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 19% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks High level of debt (57% net debt to equity). Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (14% average weekly change). Significant insider selling over the past 3 months (AU$26m sold). Market cap is less than US$100m (AU$38.9m market cap, or US$26.5m). Reported Earnings • Aug 30
Full year 2024 earnings released: AU$0.062 loss per share (vs AU$0.015 profit in FY 2023) Full year 2024 results: AU$0.062 loss per share (down from AU$0.015 profit in FY 2023). Revenue: AU$76.4m (down 26% from FY 2023). Net loss: AU$8.58m (down AU$10.6m from profit in FY 2023). Over the last 3 years on average, earnings per share has fallen by 50% per year but the company’s share price has only fallen by 13% per year, which means it has not declined as severely as earnings.
