New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 17% This is considered a minor 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 Risk Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 9.3% per year for the foreseeable future. Minor Risks High level of debt (90% net debt to equity). Dividend is not well covered by cash flows (dividend per share is over 5x cash flows per share).

New minor risk - Insider selling There has been significant insider selling in the company's shares over the past 3 months. Total value of shares sold: CA$1.2m This is considered a minor risk. There are several reasons why an insider may be selling, including to cover a tax obligation or pay for some other expense. However, we generally consider it a negative if insiders have been selling, especially if they do so below the current price. It implies that they considered a lower price to be reasonable. This is a weak signal, but if there is a pattern of unexplained selling, it can be a sign the insider believes the company's stock is overpriced. Note: We only include open market transactions and private dispositions of directly owned stock by individuals, not by corporations or trusts. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (19% operating cash flow to total debt). Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 11% per year for the foreseeable future. Minor Risks Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (11% increase in shares outstanding). Significant insider selling over the past 3 months (CA$1.2m sold). Declared Dividend • Aug 09
Second quarter dividend of CA$0.65 announced Shareholders will receive a dividend of CA$0.65. Ex-date: 27th September 2024 Payment date: 31st October 2024 Dividend yield will be 5.8%, which is higher than the industry average of 5.1%. Sustainability & Growth Dividend is covered by earnings (49% earnings payout ratio) but the company has no free cash flows available, indicating it may be using cash reserves or debt to pay the dividend. The dividend has increased by an average of 7.5% per year over the past 10 years and has been stable with no material reductions to payments, indicating a long track record of dividend growth and stability. EPS is expected to decline by 28% over the next 3 years. However, it would need to fall by 46% to increase the payout ratio to a potentially unsustainable range. Major Estimate Revision • Aug 07
