New minor risk - Dividend sustainability The dividend is not well covered by earnings. Payout ratio: 115% Dividend yield: 1.0% 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. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Dividend is not well covered by earnings (115% payout ratio). Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (1.6% net profit margin). Buy Or Sell Opportunity • Feb 09

The fair value is estimated to be ₩118,658, however this is not to be taken as a sell recommendation but rather should be used as a guide only. Revenue has been flat over the last 3 years. Earnings per share has grown by 31%. For the next 3 years, revenue is forecast to grow by 7.1% per annum. Earnings are also forecast to grow by 38% per annum over the same time period.

Sustainability & Growth Dividend is not covered by earnings (115% earnings payout ratio). However, it is well covered by cash flows (17% cash payout ratio). The dividend has increased by an average of 2.3% per year over the past 10 years. However, payments have been volatile during that time. The company's earnings per share (EPS) would need to grow by 28% to bring the payout ratio under control. EPS is expected to grow by 173% over the next 3 years, which is sufficient to bring the dividend into a sustainable range. Buy Or Sell Opportunity • Jan 23

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: 0.9% Last year net profit margin: 19% 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.

Amorepacific Unveils Research Demonstrating the Impact of Lymphatic Activating Ingredients Amorepacific, in collaboration with the School of Mechanical Engineering at Korea University, has unveiled groundbreaking research demonstrating the impact of lymphatic activation on skin health and the potential skin lymphatic improvement through fermented ginseng ingredients. This research, introducing new possibilities for skin aging and homeostasis maintenance using Lab-on-a-chip technology, was published in 'NPG Asia Materials,' an international journal by the scientific journal Nature. The lymphatic system, a crucial organ for maintaining homeostasis and activating the immune system through circulation and waste removal, plays a significant role in skin health. Disruption in lymphatic circulation within the skin can lead to problems and accelerated aging. However, directly observing changes in living tissue's most profound lymphatic systems has been challenging. The R&I Center at Amorepacific and Professor Chung Seok's laboratory at the School of Mechanical Engineering, Korea University, have been conducting extensive research to elucidate the interdependent relationship between lymph circulation and skin. The joint research team utilized human skin structure replication technology and Lab-on-a- chip systems, a type of organoid technology enabling the observation of networks between various cells. In this research, they cultivated human-derived skin cells and 3D lymphatic forming cells under optimal conditions to create a Skin-Lymph-on-a-chip. This enabled the replication of networks between human skin and lymphatic vessels, visually observing the impact of substances applied to the skin on lymphatic formation and activity. This system, which mimics the network between human skin and lymphatics, can observe the impact of substances applied to The skin on lymphatic formation and check molecular biological changes. Amorepacific's Lymphanaxtm, made from ginseng naturally fermented for 500 hours and rich in the lymph-activating component Gypenoside XVII, has been proven to strengthen the skin barrier and aid internal skin circulation, as observed in the Skin-Lymph- on-a-chip system. The joint research team concluded that Lymphanaxtm aids in forming healthy lymphatic vessels within the skin and strengthens the skin barrier through additional analysis, including AI algorithms. Meanwhile, Lymphanaxtm, whose efficacy was confirmed in this study, is currently being used as a critical ingredient in the Sulwhasoo brand. Buy Or Sell Opportunity • Jan 23

New minor risk - Earnings quality The company has large one-off items impacting its financial results. One-off items were 26% 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. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Valuation Update With 7 Day Price Move • Nov 06

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 28% 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. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Major Estimate Revision • Jul 30
