Market cap: JP¥1.42b (US$9.22m) This is considered a major 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 Market cap is less than US$10m (JP¥1.42b market cap, or US$9.22m).

Increase in shares outstanding: 2.8% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Earnings have declined by 0.5% per year over the past 5 years. Market cap is less than US$10m (JP¥1.15b market cap, or US$7.94m). Minor Risks Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past.

Revises Earnings Guidance for the Fiscal Year Ending October 31, 2024SCAT Inc. revised consolidated earnings guidance for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2024. For the year, the company expects net sales to be JPY 2,580 million, Operating profit to be JPY 135 million, profit attributable to owners of parent to be JPY 90 million or JPY 32.21 per basic share. compared to previous forecast of net sales to be JPY 2,804 million, Operating profit to be JPY 243 million, profit attributable to owners of parent to be JPY 160 million or JPY 58.04 per basic share. Reason for the revision: Until the second quarter, progress was generally in line with the initial plan, but in the third quarter, many of the planned system sales projects were postponed to the second half of next year, and large- scale users canceled their deliveries last minute due to customer circumstances. As a result, sales are expected to decline. The reasons for the postponement of the delivery date of the system include the consolidation of existing salons due to a shortage of hairdressers, postponement of new store opening plans, soaring prices, and the start of repayments of special loans due to the coronavirus, which are being addressed individually. In addition, due to last-minute cancellation of delivery due to customer circumstances of a large user, servers that could not be used for other purposes, product licenses, and customization work in progress were all lost. Additionally, it took time to process the data migration and set up the data migration and hold an operational briefing session, resulting in a major lost opportunity. The matter in question was settled through a lawyer, and while the settlement amount due to the cancellation is recorded as extraordinary income, the above losses that can be recorded as expenses are recorded as extraordinary osses. In addition to these losses, operating costs continue to soar throughout the year due to high prices and a weak yen. They have decided to revise full-year business forecasts because they expect each stage of profit to decline.Valuation Update With 7 Day Price Move • Aug 05Investor sentiment deteriorates as stock falls 21%After last week's 21% share price decline to JP¥372, the stock trades at a trailing P/E ratio of 7x.

New Risk • Oct 30New major risk - Market cap sizeThe company's market capitalization is less than US$10m. Market cap: JP¥1.42b (US$9.22m) This is considered a major 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 Market cap is less than US$10m (JP¥1.42b market cap, or US$9.22m). Minor Risk Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past.

New Risk • Sep 20New minor risk - Shareholder dilutionThe company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 2.8% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Earnings have declined by 0.5% per year over the past 5 years. Market cap is less than US$10m (JP¥1.15b market cap, or US$7.94m). Minor Risks Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past. Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (3.8% net profit margin). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (2.8% increase in shares outstanding).

공지 • Sep 12+ 2 more updatesSCAT Inc. Revises Earnings Guidance for the Fiscal Year Ending October 31, 2024SCAT Inc. revised consolidated earnings guidance for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2024. For the year, the company expects net sales to be JPY 2,580 million, Operating profit to be JPY 135 million, profit attributable to owners of parent to be JPY 90 million or JPY 32.21 per basic share. compared to previous forecast of net sales to be JPY 2,804 million, Operating profit to be JPY 243 million, profit attributable to owners of parent to be JPY 160 million or JPY 58.04 per basic share. Reason for the revision: Until the second quarter, progress was generally in line with the initial plan, but in the third quarter, many of the planned system sales projects were postponed to the second half of next year, and large- scale users canceled their deliveries last minute due to customer circumstances. As a result, sales are expected to decline. The reasons for the postponement of the delivery date of the system include the consolidation of existing salons due to a shortage of hairdressers, postponement of new store opening plans, soaring prices, and the start of repayments of special loans due to the coronavirus, which are being addressed individually. In addition, due to last-minute cancellation of delivery due to customer circumstances of a large user, servers that could not be used for other purposes, product licenses, and customization work in progress were all lost. Additionally, it took time to process the data migration and set up the data migration and hold an operational briefing session, resulting in a major lost opportunity. The matter in question was settled through a lawyer, and while the settlement amount due to the cancellation is recorded as extraordinary income, the above losses that can be recorded as expenses are recorded as extraordinary osses. In addition to these losses, operating costs continue to soar throughout the year due to high prices and a weak yen. They have decided to revise full-year business forecasts because they expect each stage of profit to decline.
