New minor risk - Insider selling There has been significant insider selling in the company's shares over the past 3 months. Total value of shares sold: CA$2.4m This is considered a minor risk. There are several reasons why an insider may be selling, including to cover a tax obligation or pay for some other expense. However, we generally consider it a negative if insiders have been selling, especially if they do so below the current price. It implies that they considered a lower price to be reasonable. This is a weak signal, but if there is a pattern of unexplained selling, it can be a sign the insider believes the company's stock is overpriced. Note: We only include open market transactions and private dispositions of directly owned stock by individuals, not by corporations or trusts. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Dividend is not well covered by cash flows (293% cash payout ratio). Large one-off items impacting financial results. Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (8.3% net profit margin). Significant insider selling over the past 3 months (CA$2.4m sold). Recent Insider Transactions • May 16

New minor risk - Insider selling There has been significant insider selling in the company's shares over the past 3 months. Total value of shares sold: CA$80k This is considered a minor risk. There are several reasons why an insider may be selling, including to cover a tax obligation or pay for some other expense. However, we generally consider it a negative if insiders have been selling, especially if they do so below the current price. It implies that they considered a lower price to be reasonable. This is a weak signal, but if there is a pattern of unexplained selling, it can be a sign the insider believes the company's stock is overpriced. Note: We only include open market transactions and private dispositions of directly owned stock by individuals, not by corporations or trusts. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 0.07% per year for the foreseeable future. High level of non-cash earnings (50% accrual ratio). Minor Risks Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Significant insider selling over the past 3 months (CA$80k sold).

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 0.07% 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 0.07% per year for the foreseeable future. High level of non-cash earnings (50% accrual ratio). Minor Risk Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows.
