GRG Banking Equipment Co., Ltd. to Report First Half, 2026 Results on Aug 28, 2026 GRG Banking Equipment Co., Ltd. announced that they will report first half, 2026 results on Aug 28, 2026 Declared Dividend • May 23
Dividend of CN¥0.20 announced Shareholders will receive a dividend of CN¥0.20. Ex-date: 28th May 2026 Payment date: 28th May 2026 Dividend yield will be 3.3%, which is higher than the industry average of 1.3%. Sustainability & Growth Dividend is not covered by earnings (109% earnings payout ratio) nor is it adequately covered by cash flows (100% cash payout ratio). The dividend has increased by an average of 16% per year over the past 10 years. However, payments have been volatile during that time. The company's earnings per share (EPS) would need to grow by 21% to bring the payout ratio under control. EPS is expected to grow by 53% over the next 3 years, which is sufficient to bring the dividend into a sustainable range. New Risk • Apr 25
New major risk - Dividend sustainability The dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. Payout ratio: 109% Cash payout ratio: 100% Dividend yield: 3.3% This is considered a major risk. Companies that pay out too much of their earnings and cash flows are at risk of having to reduce or cut their dividend in future. If earnings or cash flows stagnate or fall, then there may not be enough to maintain the same dividend. Or in extreme cases, companies may opt to dig into capital reserves or take on debt to maintain the dividend. For dividend paying companies, any reduction in the dividend can significantly impact the share price. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Announcement • Mar 31
