New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 32% per year for the foreseeable future. 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.

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 Risks Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 32% per year for the foreseeable future. High level of non-cash earnings (21% accrual ratio). Upcoming Dividend • May 14

Sustainability & Growth Dividend is well covered by both earnings (13% earnings payout ratio) and cash flows (19% cash payout ratio). The dividend has increased by an average of 9.6% per year over the past 10 years. However, payments have been volatile during that time. Earnings per share has grown by 36% over the last 5 years.

New major risk - Earnings quality The company has a high level of non-cash earnings. Accrual ratio: 21% 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. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company.
