Declared Dividend • May 30
Dividend increased to CN¥0.24 Dividend of CN¥0.24 is 17% higher than last year. Ex-date: 4th June 2026 Payment date: 4th June 2026 Dividend yield will be 0.9%, which is about the same as the industry average. Sustainability & Growth Dividend is covered by earnings (40% 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 decreased over the past 10 years, indicating a lack of growth and stability in payments. The company's earnings per share (EPS) would need to decline by 55% to shift the payout ratio to a potentially unsustainable range, which is more than the 17% EPS decline seen over the last 5 years. New Risk • Apr 07
New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 7.6% 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 Earnings have declined by 7.6% per year over the past 5 years. High level of non-cash earnings (124% accrual ratio). Minor Risk Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Announcement • Mar 30

New minor risk - Earnings quality The company has large one-off items impacting its financial results. One-off items were 20% 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.

New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 39% 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 Risk Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (39% increase in shares outstanding).
