New minor risk - Earnings quality The company has large one-off items impacting its financial results. One-off items were 22% 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: Major Risks Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (4.3% operating cash flow to total debt). Dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. Payout ratio: 276% Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Earnings have declined by 4.1% per year over the past 5 years.

The company has less cash from operations to cover its expenses from servicing large debt and it increases the risk of liquidity issues. It also extends the time it would take for the company to pay back the debt in full, meaning it may not be able to easily pay it all off in a distress scenario.

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 0.8% 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 Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (4.3% operating cash flow to total debt). Earnings have declined by 0.8% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (8.8% average weekly change). Announcement • Apr 22

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 Chinese stocks, typically moving 8.4% a week.
