New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 0.1% 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 0.1% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (1.9% net profit margin). Market cap is less than US$100m (JP¥4.23b market cap, or US$28.4m). Reported Earnings • Jul 31
First quarter 2026 earnings released: EPS: JP¥1.45 (vs JP¥3.73 loss in 1Q 2025) First quarter 2026 results: EPS: JP¥1.45 (up from JP¥3.73 loss in 1Q 2025). Revenue: JP¥2.99b (down 8.3% from 1Q 2025). Net income: JP¥7.00m (up JP¥25.0m from 1Q 2025). Profit margin: 0.2% (up from net loss in 1Q 2025). The move to profitability was driven by lower expenses. Over the last 3 years on average, earnings per share has fallen by 18% per year but the company’s share price has remained flat, which means it is well ahead of earnings. Announcement • Jun 21

New minor risk - Dividend sustainability The dividend is not well covered by cash flows. The company is paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Dividend yield: 3.6% 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 Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (1.6% net profit margin). Market cap is less than US$100m (JP¥3.97b market cap, or US$27.9m). Reported Earnings • Apr 26

Net income: JP¥236.0m (down 64% from FY 2024). Profit margin: 1.6% (down from 4.1% in FY 2024). The decrease in margin was driven by lower revenue. Over the last 3 years on average, earnings per share has fallen by 13% per year but the company’s share price has only fallen by 4% per year, which means it has not declined as severely as earnings.

New minor risk - Earnings quality The company has large one-off items impacting its financial results. One-off items were 22% of the size of the rest of the company's trailing 12-month earnings before tax. This is considered a minor risk. One-off items are incomes or expenses that the company does not expect to repeat in future periods. Examples include profits from the sale of a business or expenses from a restructuring or legal settlements. If the company's reported statutory earnings include a large proportion of one-off items it means they may be an unreliable indicator of its true business performance as the earnings were skewed by these incomes or expenses. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Large one-off items impacting financial results. Market cap is less than US$100m (JP¥4.04b market cap, or US$26.0m).

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 Japanese stocks, typically moving 5.7% 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: Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (5.7% average weekly change).
