New minor risk - Earnings quality The company has large one-off items impacting its financial results. One-off items were 24% of the size of the rest of the company's trailing 12-month earnings before tax. This is considered a minor risk. 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 Risk Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 14% per year for the foreseeable future. Minor Risks High level of debt (43% net debt to equity). Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Large one-off items impacting financial results. Upcoming Dividend • Jun 16

Lower than average of industry peers (5.5%). New Risk • May 26
New minor risk - Financial position The company has a high level of debt. Net debt to equity ratio: 45% This is considered a minor risk. Having a high level of debt increases the company's balance sheet risk. The company has a higher interest repayment burden, leading to the need to allocate a greater amount of its earnings towards servicing the debt, potentially limiting growth options or shareholder distributions. It can also increase the risk of bankruptcy if business conditions deteriorate enough that the company can no longer meet its debt obligations. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 17% per year for the foreseeable future. Minor Risks High level of debt (45% net debt to equity). Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Reported Earnings • May 15

Net income: NT$234.3m (up 166% from 1Q 2025). Profit margin: 39% (up from 17% in 1Q 2025). The increase in margin was primarily driven by higher revenue. Revenue exceeded analyst estimates by 4.4%. Earnings per share (EPS) also surpassed analyst estimates by 35%. Revenue is forecast to stay flat during the next 2 years compared to a 2.4% growth forecast for the Shipping industry in Taiwan. Over the last 3 years on average, earnings per share has fallen by 27% per year but the company’s share price has only fallen by 1% per year, which means it has not declined as severely as earnings.

The dividend has increased by an average of 15% per year over the past 10 years. However, payments have been volatile during that time. EPS is expected to decline by 11% over the next 2 years. However, it would need to fall by 72% to increase the payout ratio to a potentially unsustainable range. Reported Earnings • Mar 12

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 3.1% per year for the foreseeable future. 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 expected to decline, then in most cases the share price will decline over time as well. 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 Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 3.1% per year for the foreseeable future. High level of non-cash earnings (39% accrual ratio). Minor Risks High level of debt (59% net debt to equity). Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. New Risk • Nov 11
New major risk - Earnings quality The company has a high level of non-cash earnings. Accrual ratio: 40% 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 Risk High level of non-cash earnings (40% accrual ratio). Minor Risks High level of debt (54% net debt to equity). Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Reported Earnings • Nov 11

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 Taiwanese stocks, typically moving 8.7% a week. This is considered a minor risk.

New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 13% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk High level of non-cash earnings (34% accrual ratio). Minor Risks Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows.
