New major risk - Earnings quality The company has a high level of non-cash earnings. Accrual ratio: 24% This is considered a major risk. Non-cash earnings can arise from many different things. However, if a company consistently has a high level of non-cash earnings, it may be a sign that they are recognizing revenue from customers before the full value of the sales are received as cash or they are not depreciating the value of their assets appropriately. These are practices that inflate earnings, while not providing a similar increase to cash flows. Companies in some select industries naturally have a high level of non-cash earnings and it is not a major concern. However, in the worst case scenario it can be an early sign of performance manipulation by management. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Earnings have declined by 17% per year over the past 5 years. High level of non-cash earnings (24% accrual ratio). Minor Risk Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (15% average weekly change). Reported Earnings • Mar 20
Full year 2025 earnings released: EPS: ₩631 (vs ₩1,387 in FY 2024) Full year 2025 results: EPS: ₩631 (down from ₩1,387 in FY 2024). Revenue: ₩141.1b (down 40% from FY 2024). Net income: ₩13.2b (down 39% from FY 2024). Profit margin: 9.4% (up from 9.2% in FY 2024). The increase in margin was driven by lower expenses. Over the last 3 years on average, earnings per share has fallen by 42% per year but the company’s share price has only fallen by 30% per year, which means it has not declined as severely as earnings.

Investor sentiment deteriorates as stock falls 20% After last week's 20% share price decline to ₩29,050, the stock trades at a trailing P/E ratio of 36.8x. Average trailing P/E is 16x in the Commercial Services industry in South Korea. Total loss to shareholders of 60% over the past three years. Declared Dividend • Feb 25
Dividend reduced to ₩200 Dividend of ₩200 is 33% lower than last year. Ex-date: 30th March 2026 Payment date: 1st January 1970 Dividend yield will be 0.6%, which is lower than the industry average of 3.3%. Sustainability & Growth Dividend is covered by earnings (36% earnings payout ratio) but the company has no free cash flows available, indicating it may be using cash reserves or debt to pay the dividend. The dividend has decreased over the past 46 years, indicating a lack of growth and stability in payments. The company's earnings per share (EPS) would need to decline by 60% to shift the payout ratio to a potentially unsustainable range, which is more than the 6.9% EPS decline seen over the last 5 years. New Risk • Jan 28
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 South Korean stocks, typically moving 11% 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 Risk Earnings have declined by 14% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risk Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (11% average weekly change). Valuation Update With 7 Day Price Move • Jan 26

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 8.1% 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 Risks Earnings have declined by 8.1% per year over the past 5 years. High level of non-cash earnings (47% accrual ratio). Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (37% increase in shares outstanding). Minor Risks Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (8.6% net profit margin). New Risk • May 20
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: 1.2% 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: Major Risks High level of non-cash earnings (24% accrual ratio). Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (37% increase in shares outstanding). Minor Risks Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (9.2% net profit margin). Valuation Update With 7 Day Price Move • Apr 25

Net income: ₩21.5b (down 36% from FY 2023). Profit margin: 9.2% (down from 15% in FY 2023). The decrease in margin was driven by higher expenses. Over the last 3 years on average, earnings per share has fallen by 2% per year but the company’s share price has fallen by 18% per year, which means it is performing significantly worse than earnings.

New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 37% This is considered a major 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 Revenue has declined by 25% over the past year. High level of non-cash earnings (40% accrual ratio). Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (37% increase in shares outstanding). Minor Risks High level of debt (74% net debt to equity). Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (10% net profit margin). Announcement • Jan 17

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: 10% Last year net profit margin: 16% 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. Even if it is a well established business, this may make it a much riskier investment than one that has a combination of proven competitive advantages and a stable or growing profit margin. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Revenue has declined by 25% over the past year. High level of non-cash earnings (40% accrual ratio). Minor Risks High level of debt (74% net debt to equity). Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (9.7% average weekly change).
