New minor risk - Dividend sustainability The dividend is not well covered by earnings. The company is paying a dividend despite being loss-making. Dividend yield: 1.7% This is considered a minor risk. Companies that pay out too much of their earnings are at risk of having to reduce or cut their dividend in future. If earnings growth slows or earnings fall, then there may not be enough earnings 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. However, this risk is mitigated by the fact the dividend is covered by cash flows. 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.

Sato Corporation Announces New Collaboration with Konica Minolta, Inc SATO Corporation announced a new collaboration with Konica Minolta, Inc., as it will now build its flagship CL4NX Plus and CL6NX Plus printers using recycled plastics that Konica Minolta has developed for its multifunctional printers. SATO’s industrial printers made from recycled materials will soon be available on the market. Product development at SATO adheres to eight principles it defines as SATO universal printer design, which expresses its commitment to creating printers that offer equitable use, reliable operation and lasting quality. Its products support multiple languages and function regardless of the workplace environment and available infrastructure. SATO’s collaboration with Konica Minolta is a new step toward environmental stewardship, which is integral to SATO universal printer design. SATO currently offers linerless labels as part of its efforts to use resources sustainably and reduce carbon emissions, but it now takes this commitment further by incorporating recycled plastics into select printer models starting Fiscal Year 2024. Konica Minolta’s recycled plastics meet SATO’s stringent quality standards for flame retardancy, flexural strength, density and mold shrinkage rate. The recycled plastics are used in 40% of the housing components of CL4NX Plus and CL6NX Plus, and SATO expects to reduce carbon emissions by 65% in parts where recycled plastic is used, compared to conventional parts without compromising the quality that virgin materials provide. Using recycled plastics in its flagship printers sold worldwide not only supports SATO’s global sustainability efforts but also allows its customers to contribute to reducing carbon emissions. The material developed by Konica Minolta is a recycled ABS plastic, a flame-retardant, durable and easy-to-mold synthetic resin. Used in Konica Minolta’s multifunctional printers, these plastics are collected from used game machines that are separated, dismantled, crushed and washed. The processed material is then melted and compounded into plastic pellets for horizontal recycling. In line with corporate mission, SATO will seek ever more sustainable manufacturing practices by incorporating recycled materials in products. Announcement • Sep 20
