New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 0.6% 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 0.6% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Dividend is not well covered by cash flows (115% cash payout ratio). Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (6.3% net profit margin). Market cap is less than US$100m (JP¥6.31b market cap, or US$43.4m). Reported Earnings • May 19

Over the last 3 years on average, earnings per share has fallen by 16% per year but the company’s share price has remained flat, which means it is well ahead of earnings. Announcement • Apr 16

The dividend has increased by an average of 1.5% per year over the past 10 years and has been stable with no material reductions to payments, indicating a long track record of dividend growth and stability.

New minor risk - Profit margin trend The company's profit margins are lower than last year and have reduced by more than 30%. Net profit margin: 5.8% Last year net profit margin: 12% 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: Minor Risks Dividend is not well covered by cash flows (115% cash payout ratio).

New minor risk - Dividend sustainability The dividend is not well covered by cash flows. Cash payout ratio: 147% Dividend yield: 4.1% 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: Minor Risks Dividend is not well covered by cash flows (147% cash payout ratio). Large one-off items impacting financial results. Market cap is less than US$100m (JP¥6.76b market cap, or US$45.8m). Declared Dividend • Aug 10
