Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. Payout ratio: 130% Cash payout ratio: 429% Earnings have declined by 17% per year over the past 5 years.

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: 4.0% Last year net profit margin: 5.9% 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 Dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. Payout ratio: 130% Cash payout ratio: 429% Earnings have declined by 17% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (4.0% net profit margin).

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 Dutch stocks, typically moving 5.1% 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 Risks Dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. Payout ratio: 100% Cash payout ratio: 115% Earnings have declined by 13% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risk Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (5.1% average weekly change). New Risk • Jul 28
New minor risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$100m. Market cap: €86.0m (US$99.7m) This is considered a minor risk. Companies with a small market capitalization are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. Payout ratio: 100% Cash payout ratio: 115% Earnings have declined by 13% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risk Market cap is less than US$100m (€86.0m market cap, or US$99.7m).

New Risk • Jun 02
New major risk - Dividend sustainability The dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. Payout ratio: 100% Cash payout ratio: 115% Dividend yield: 6.4% 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. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. Payout ratio: 100% Cash payout ratio: 115% Earnings have declined by 13% per year over the past 5 years. Declared Dividend • Jun 01

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 0.7% 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.
