New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 28% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Interest payments are not well covered by earnings (1.4x net interest cover). Earnings have declined by 33% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (5.7% average weekly change). Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (0.6% net profit margin). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (28% increase in shares outstanding). Market cap is less than US$100m (€10.8m market cap, or US$12.7m). New Risk • Feb 03
New major risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$10m. Market cap: €8.43m (US$9.96m) This is considered a major risk. Companies with a small market capitalization are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Interest payments are not well covered by earnings (1.4x net interest cover). Earnings have declined by 33% per year over the past 5 years. Market cap is less than US$10m (€8.43m market cap, or US$9.96m).

New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of Italian stocks, typically moving 5.2% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Interest payments are not well covered by earnings (1.4x net interest cover). Earnings have declined by 33% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (5.2% average weekly change).

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Revenue has declined by 0.09% over the past year. 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 revenues are declining, then it is difficult for the company to prevent its earnings from declining as well. A trend of falling revenue 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 Risks Interest payments are not well covered by earnings (2.5x net interest cover). Revenue has declined by 0.09% over the past year. High level of non-cash earnings (36% accrual ratio). Minor Risks Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows.
