New Risk • Apr 02
New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 6.5% per year over the past 5 years. 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. If profits are declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. 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 Dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. Paying a dividend despite being loss-making. Cash payout ratio: 120% Earnings have declined by 6.5% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risk Market cap is less than US$100m (₩61.8b market cap, or US$40.8m). Aankondiging • Feb 13

New major risk - Dividend sustainability The dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. The company is paying a dividend despite being loss-making. The company is paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Dividend yield: 2.5% This is considered a major risk. Companies that pay out too much of their earnings and cash flows are at risk of having to reduce or cut their dividend in future. If earnings or cash flows stagnate or fall, then there may not be enough to maintain the same dividend. Or in extreme cases, companies may opt to dig into capital reserves or take on debt to maintain the dividend. 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: Major Risk Dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. Paying a dividend despite being loss-making. Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Minor Risk Market cap is less than US$100m (₩64.6b market cap, or US$44.0m). Declared Dividend • Nov 08
Dividend of ₩160 announced Dividend of ₩160 is the same as last year. Ex-date: 29th December 2025 Payment date: 10th April 2026 Dividend yield will be 2.4%, which is about the same as the industry average. Sustainability & Growth Dividend is not covered by earnings (324% earnings payout ratio). However, it is covered by cash flows (82% cash payout ratio). The dividend has increased by an average of 23% per year over the past 4 years. However, payments have been volatile during that time. The company's earnings per share (EPS) would need to grow by 260% to bring the payout ratio under control. However, EPS has declined by 38% over the last 5 years so the company would need to reverse this trend. Aankondiging • Nov 07

New minor risk - Earnings quality The company has large one-off items impacting its financial results. One-off items were 2,476% of the size of the rest of the company's trailing 12-month earnings before tax. This is considered a minor risk. One-off items are incomes or expenses that the company does not expect to repeat in future periods. Examples include profits from the sale of a business or expenses from a restructuring or legal settlements. If the company's reported statutory earnings include a large proportion of one-off items it means they may be an unreliable indicator of its true business performance as the earnings were skewed by these incomes or expenses. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Dividend is not well covered by earnings (324% payout ratio). Large one-off items impacting financial results. Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (0.9% net profit margin). Market cap is less than US$100m (₩75.6b market cap, or US$54.5m). Valuation Update With 7 Day Price Move • Apr 16
