New major risk - Earnings quality The company has a high level of non-cash earnings. Accrual ratio: 182% This is considered a major risk. Non-cash earnings can arise from many different things. However, if a company consistently has a high level of non-cash earnings, it may be a sign that they are recognizing revenue from customers before the full value of the sales are received as cash or they are not depreciating the value of their assets appropriately. These are practices that inflate earnings, while not providing a similar increase to cash flows. Companies in some select industries naturally have a high level of non-cash earnings and it is not a major concern. However, in the worst case scenario it can be an early sign of performance manipulation by management. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Earnings have declined by 26% per year over the past 5 years. High level of non-cash earnings (182% accrual ratio). Minor Risk Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Declared Dividend • Mar 14
Dividend increased to ₩550 Dividend of ₩550 is 38% higher than last year. Ex-date: 30th March 2026 Payment date: 1st January 1970 Dividend yield will be 3.9%, which is higher than the industry average of 3.7%. Sustainability & Growth Dividend is covered by earnings (20% earnings payout ratio) but the company has no free cash flows available, indicating it may be using cash reserves or debt to pay the dividend. The dividend has increased by an average of 6.9% per year over the past 7 years. However, payments have been volatile during that time. Earnings per share has grown by 6.5% over the last 5 years. Unless this trend reverses, it should provide support to the dividend and adequate earnings cover. Valuation Update With 7 Day Price Move • Mar 04

Ex-date: 28th March 2025 Payment date: 1st January 1970 Dividend yield will be 6.8%, which is higher than the industry average of 3.7%.

The dividend has decreased over the past 66 years, indicating a lack of growth and stability in payments. The company's earnings per share (EPS) would need to decline by 66% to shift the payout ratio to a potentially unsustainable range, which is more than the 5.2% EPS decline seen over the last 5 years.
