The company is paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Dividend yield: 5.1% This is considered a major risk. Companies that pay out too much of their earnings and cash flows are at risk of having to reduce or cut their dividend in future. If earnings or cash flows stagnate or fall, then there may not be enough to maintain the same dividend. Or in extreme cases, companies may opt to dig into capital reserves or take on debt to maintain the dividend. For dividend paying companies, any reduction in the dividend can significantly impact the share price. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company.

The molten steel that penetrated the refractory material caused the shell of the electric furnace to melt. Furthermore, the molten steel that leaked out reacted with the water accumulated in the underground pit of the electric arc furnace, resulting in a steam explosion. Measures to Prevent Recurrence: As countermeasures against water and steel leakage, the company has changed the water-cooled equipment to a non- water-cooled system. Additionally, to prevent steam explosions, it has permanently installed a drainage device in the underground pit of the electric arc furnace. Announcement • Mar 13
