New major risk - Financial position The company's debt is not well covered by operating cash flow. Operating cash flow to total debt ratio: 9.5% This is considered a major risk. If the company's operating cash flows are too small relative to the size of their debt, it increases their balance sheet risk. 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. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (9.5% operating cash flow to total debt). Shares are highly illiquid. Minor Risks Dividend is not well covered by cash flows (93% cash payout ratio). Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (38% net profit margin). Announcement • Nov 09
