New major risk - Financial position The company's debt is not well covered by operating cash flow. Operating cash flow to total debt ratio: 3.7% This is considered a major risk. If the company's operating cash flows are too small relative to the size of their debt, it increases their balance sheet risk. The company has less cash from operations to cover its expenses from servicing large debt and it increases the risk of liquidity issues. It also extends the time it would take for the company to pay back the debt in full, meaning it may not be able to easily pay it all off in a distress scenario. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (3.7% operating cash flow to total debt).

New minor risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$100m. Market cap: JP¥14.6b (US$99.1m) 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. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings have declined by 11% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past. Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (6.6% average weekly change).

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 1.9% 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 Risk Earnings have declined by 1.9% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past. Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (9.6% average weekly change).

Marumae Co., Ltd. Revises Earnings Guidance for the Year Ending August 31, 2024 Marumae Co., Ltd. revised earnings guidance for the year ending August 31, 2024. For the year, company expects Net sales of JPY 4,749 million, Operating profit of JPY 155 million, Profit of JPY 29 million and earnings per share of JPY 2.29 compared to previously announced guidance as follows: Net sales of JPY 4,680 million, Operating profit of JPY 77 million, Loss of JPY 34 million and Loss per share of JPY 2.69. In terms of net sales, the Company did not receive orders for solar cell production equipment parts, which were anticipated to total approximately JPY 150 million in the other sectors. However, orders for consumables in the semiconductor sector increased due to progress in inventory clearance at customers, and orders for G8 OLED in the FPD sector also increased, resulting in an upward revision of JPY 69 million in net sales. Profitability is expected to improve as a result of an increase in inventory due to the rise in orders, as well as curbs on capital investment and headcount. Although it has not been undetermined at this time, as the closing process is still underway, the Company anticipates an increase of approximately JPY 40 million in the provision for loss on orders received and loss on valuation of inventories in this disclosed figure due to the factory utilization rate in August not increasing as much as anticipated because of Typhoon No. 9, which hit in the month of closing accounts.
