New minor risk - Earnings quality The company has large one-off items impacting its financial results. One-off items were 102% 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 Risk Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 30% per year for the foreseeable future. Minor Risk Large one-off items impacting financial results. Reported Earnings • Feb 28

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 0.5% per year for the foreseeable future. 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 expected to decline, then in most cases the share price will decline over time as well. 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 are forecast to decline by an average of 0.5% per year for the foreseeable future. Minor Risk Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (8.4% net profit margin). Announcement • Jan 27

Net profit margin: 8.4% Last year net profit margin: 20% This is considered a minor risk. A large drop in profit margin could indicate the company does not have strong competitive advantages or it is yet to establish itself and its core business.

Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 4.4% per year for the foreseeable future. Minor Risk Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (8.4% net profit margin). Reported Earnings • Aug 11
