New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 17% 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.

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 Risks Dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. Payout ratio: 117% Cash payout ratio: 321% Earnings have declined by 17% per year over the past 5 years. Valuation Update With 7 Day Price Move • Jan 23

TCI Co., Ltd. Unveils Promising GLP-1 Formula Clinical Trial Results for Advanced Weight Management TCI Co., Ltd. announced the successful results of its recent clinical trial of the GLP-1 Formula, a natural supplement designed to support weight management in adults. The clinical trial, conducted from October 25 to December 31, 2023, demonstrated that the formula was effective in promoting significant weight loss among the 560 participants, who collectively lost a total of 2,732 kg. Participants aged 18 to 75 were instructed to take one sachet containing seven tablets of GLP-1 Formula daily before lunch. The trial results revealed an average weight loss of 4.9 kg per participant. Furthermore, over 59.3% of participants successfully lost at least 4 kg of their baseline body weight by the trial's end. These compelling results highlight the potential of the GLP-1 formula as an effective, natural approach to weight management. Developed by TCI, the GLP-1 Formula is designed to enhance the secretion of GLP-1 naturally, a hormone known for regulating appetite and promoting satiety. By using a blend of natural plant extracts, probiotics, and amino acids such as phenylalanine and leucine, the formula effectively stimulates GLP-1 secretion, leading to appetite suppression and weight reduction. The success of this trial marks a major milestone for TCI in its ongoing commitment to developing natural, science-backed solutions for addressing global wellness challenges. Announcement • Jul 23
