New Risk • Aug 12
New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 122% 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. If profits are expected to decline, then in most cases the share price will decline over time as well. 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 Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (1.4% operating cash flow to total debt). Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 122% per year for the foreseeable future. Minor Risks Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows.

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 South Korean stocks, typically moving 11% a week.

Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (1.4% operating cash flow to total debt).

Even if it is a well established business, this may make it a much riskier investment than one that has a combination of proven competitive advantages and a stable or growing profit margin. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (4.2% operating cash flow to total debt).

New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 2.1% This is considered a minor risk.
