New major risk - Earnings quality The company has a high level of non-cash earnings. Accrual ratio: 70% 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 Dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. Payout ratio: 397% Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Earnings have declined by 45% per year over the past 5 years. High level of non-cash earnings (70% accrual ratio).

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.

New minor risk - Earnings quality The company has large one-off items impacting its financial results.

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: Major Risks Dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. Payout ratio: 243% Cash payout ratio: 241% Earnings have declined by 45% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risk Large one-off items impacting financial results. New Risk • Sep 18
New major risk - Dividend sustainability The dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. Payout ratio: 239% Cash payout ratio: 293% Dividend yield: 24% 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.

The company's earnings per share (EPS) would need to grow by 165% to bring the payout ratio under control. EPS is expected to grow by 22% over the next year, which means the dividend may need to be reduced to reach a sustainable payout ratio. Announcement • Sep 16
