Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past. Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (7.1% average weekly change). Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (2.7% net profit margin). Reported Earnings • Mar 15
