New Risk • Nov 06
New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 0.5% 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 Risk Earnings have declined by 0.5% per year over the past 5 years.

Industry Leading CGI Process Control: With current production of more than 175,000 tonnes per year of shipped CGI castings, the fourth generation System 4000 process control system takes centre stage at the SinterCast stand. The display includes the fully automated System 4000, comprised of individual hardware modules that can be configured to suit the layout, process flow and production volume of any foundry, and the Mini-System 4000 that is purpose-built for product development, prototyping and niche volume production. GIFA 2023 also marks the launch of Version 7.1 of the SinterCast process control software with new functionalities and enhanced integration capabilities to incorporate data from foundry production equipment and to provide real-time data streaming to foundry’s process control, quality control and Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) procedures. The System 4000 display also includes the Customer Access Terminal to enable foundry engineers to independently set process control parameters and access thermal analysis results. Industry 4.0 Traceability for Ladles, Cores, Moulds and Castings: The traceability solutions on display include the SinterCast Ladle Tracker® and the SinterCast Cast Tracker®. The Ladle Tracker uses Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology to ensure that every ladle reports to every step in the process and that every step is completed within the specified process limits. Ladle Tracker also identifies where and why ladles fall-out of the process, enabling foundry managers to measure, control and improve process efficiency and productivity. The Cast Tracker technology provides complete traceability for all castings. Each core – or core package – is uniquely labelled with an engraved identification code and each flask is equipped with RFID technology to link the cores and the liquid metal history for each casting. Cast Tracker ensures that every core package is within specification prior to casting, identifies the cast sequence within the ladle and measures the shake-out time. GIFA 2023 marks the launch of a new Optical Character Recognition (OCR) solution to automatically read the identification code on each casting and to input information regarding casting soundness directly into an SQL database integrated with the foundry quality system. Together, the Ladle Tracker and Cast Tracker technologies provide Industry 4.0 traceability, evolving castings from batch commodity products into unique components with fully documented production histories. Ultra-Light CGI Design Concept – The Cylinder Block Reinvented: The SinterCast stand showcases the redesign of a current production 1.2 litre petrol engine cylinder block from aluminium to CGI. The redesigned block uses CGI for the running surfaces and structural areas and durable plastic covers for the outer enclosures to provide the same cylinder block weight and engine performance, together with 54% less metal volume, approximately 40% lower manufacturing CO2 footprint and improved recyclability. The stand also showcases the high volume 2.7 litre V6 petrol engine designated as base engine on the Ford F-150 pick-up truck. Produced at Tupy foundry in Saltillo, Mexico, the SinterCast-CGI cylinder block has earned the title as the most popular engine in the most popular vehicle in America. Board Change • Jun 03
