New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 14% 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 14% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Paying a dividend despite being loss-making. Market cap is less than US$100m (S$56.2m market cap, or US$44.6m). Announcement • Jan 31
Karin Technology Holdings Limited Provides Group Earnings Guidance for the Six Months Ended 31 December 2025 Karin Technology Holdings Limited provided group earnings guidance for the six months ended 31 December 2025. For the period, Following a reassessment of the classification of one of the Group's principal assets, Karin Building, which was previously classified as an asset held for sale, the Group now intends to reclassify the Karin Building back to `property, plant and equipment' in the unaudited financial statements. The accounting reclassification will be made in accordance with the requirements of IFRS 5 due mainly to ongoing market conditions affecting the sale price and the timeline for its disposal. In this connection, as depreciation of the Karin Building was suspended during the period it was classified as an asset held for sale, the Group is now required to recognise significant catch-up depreciation for that prior period, and to resume depreciation going forward. These are non-cash accounting adjustments and do not affect the Group's cash position, liquidity, or core business operations. Consequently, the Board expects the Group to report a net loss, in contrast to a net profit in the corresponding period of the previous financial year. Had this one-time, non-cash accounting adjustments relating to the catch-up depreciation been disregarded, the Group would have recorded a net profit for the six months ended 31 December 2025.
