New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of Italian stocks, typically moving 5.4% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent.

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 Risks High level of non-cash earnings (88% accrual ratio). Market cap is less than US$10m (€8.26m market cap, or US$9.71m).

Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk High level of non-cash earnings (88% accrual ratio). Minor Risks Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows.

New minor risk - Dividend sustainability The dividend is not well covered by cash flows. Cash payout ratio: 184% Dividend yield: 3.6% This is considered a minor risk. Dividends are ultimately paid out of the company's available cash reserves. Companies that pay out too much of their cash flow are at risk of having to reduce or cut their dividend in future. If cash flow growth slows or cash flows fall, then there may not be enough cash reserves to maintain the same dividend. Or in extreme cases, companies may opt to take on debt to maintain the dividend. This risk is mitigated by the fact the dividend is covered by earnings, however, cash flows are generally more important. For dividend paying companies, any reduction in the dividend can significantly impact the share price. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Dividend is not well covered by cash flows (184% cash payout ratio). Large one-off items impacting financial results. Market cap is less than US$100m (€11.1m market cap, or US$12.6m). Reported Earnings • Oct 02

One-off items are incomes or expenses that the company does not expect to repeat in future periods.
