New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 43% 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 43% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risk Market cap is less than US$100m (€35.3m market cap, or US$41.0m). New Risk • Sep 19

Aspocomp Group Plc Starts Change Negotiations on Possible Temporary Layoffs at its Oulu Plant Aspocomp Group Plc starts change negotiations on possible temporary layoffs at its Oulu plant in Finland. Today, on August 15, 2023, Aspocomp has issued a negotiation proposal in accordance with the Act on Cooperation to start change negotiations for production-related and financial reasons at its Oulu plant. The majority of the Oulu plant’s approximately 120 production blue-collar employees are covered by the negotiations. The change negotiations are estimated to last two weeks, and the possible temporary layoffs would last a maximum of 90 days. With the change negotiations, the company prepares for a possible partial adjustment of production to correspond to temporarily low delivery volumes. Slower-than-expected recovery of the semiconductor cycle and high inventory levels in various parts of the value chain has slowed down net sales. A temporary slowdown in the semiconductor cycle is typical for the industry. The industry's long-term growth prospects are still strong. The cycle of the semiconductor industry is expected to return to growth at the end of the year or the beginning of 2024. Major Estimate Revision • Jul 27

Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Dividend is not well covered by cash flows (357% cash payout ratio).

Aspocomp Group Oyj Revises Earnings Guidance for the Year 2023 Aspocomp Group Oyj lowers the financial guidance it gave on March 16, 2023, for the year 2023. Company estimates now, that its net sales for 2023 will be below the 2022 level. The operating result is estimated to be clearly below the 2022 level. In 2022, net sales amounted to EUR 39.1 million and the operating result to EUR 4.5 million. In its previous outlook for 2023 (Financial Statement Release 2022, on March 16, 2023), Aspocomp estimated that its net sales for 2023 would increase from 2022 and its operating result for 2023 would be at the same level as in 2022. In 2022, net sales amounted to EUR 39.1 million and the operating result to EUR 4.5 million. The updating of the financial guidance is due to the slower-than-expected recovery of the Semiconductor segment's cycle and high inventory levels in different parts of Aspocomp’s value chain. Previously, Aspocomp estimated that the cycle of the Semiconductor Industry would return to growth in the second half of 2023. According to the updated estimate, the turnaround will take place about a quarter or two slower than expected, i.e., at the end of 2023 or the beginning of 2024. A temporary slowdown in the semiconductor cycle is typical for the industry. The industry's long-term growth prospects are still strong. In addition, inflation and interest rates, the risk of recession and the uncertainties posed by Russia’s war of aggression continue to affect the operating environment of Aspocomp and its customers in the financial year 2023.
