New Risk • Jun 04
New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 19% 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 Risk Earnings have declined by 19% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risk Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Declared Dividend • May 18
Dividend increased to CN¥0.20 Dividend of CN¥0.20 is 160% higher than last year. Ex-date: 22nd May 2026 Payment date: 22nd May 2026 Dividend yield will be 0.5%, which is lower than the industry average of 1.8%. Sustainability & Growth Dividend is covered by earnings (79% 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 3.6% per year over the past 3 years. However, payments have been volatile during that time. EPS is expected to grow by 77% over the next year, which should provide support to the dividend and adequate earnings cover. New Risk • Apr 26
New minor risk - Dividend sustainability The dividend is not well covered by cash flows. The company is paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Dividend yield: 0.5% This is considered a minor risk. Dividends are ultimately paid out of the company's available cash reserves. Companies that pay out too much of their cash flow are at risk of having to reduce or cut their dividend in future. If cash flow growth slows or cash flows fall, then there may not be enough cash reserves to maintain the same dividend. Or in extreme cases, companies may opt to take on debt to maintain the dividend. This risk is mitigated by the fact the dividend is covered by earnings, however, cash flows are generally more important. For dividend paying companies, any reduction in the dividend can significantly impact the share price. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (10% average weekly change). Minor Risk Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Reported Earnings • Apr 17
