New minor risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$100m. Market cap: €92.2m (US$97.9m) This is considered a minor risk.

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 High level of non-cash earnings (56% accrual ratio). Minor Risks Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows.
