Acer Cyber Security Inc. to Report Fiscal Year 2024 Results on Feb 24, 2025 Acer Cyber Security Inc. announced that they will report fiscal year 2024 results on Feb 24, 2025 New Risk • Jan 21
New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 36% This is considered a major risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks High level of non-cash earnings (75% accrual ratio). Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (36% increase in shares outstanding). Minor Risks High level of debt (41% net debt to equity). Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Aankondiging • Dec 20

New minor risk - Financial position The company has a high level of debt. Net debt to equity ratio: 41% This is considered a minor risk. Having a high level of debt increases the company's balance sheet risk. The company has a higher interest repayment burden, leading to the need to allocate a greater amount of its earnings towards servicing the debt, potentially limiting growth options or shareholder distributions. It can also increase the risk of bankruptcy if business conditions deteriorate enough that the company can no longer meet its debt obligations. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk High level of non-cash earnings (75% accrual ratio). Minor Risks High level of debt (41% net debt to equity). Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Reported Earnings • Nov 12
