New Risk • Nov 10
New minor risk - Earnings quality The company has large one-off items impacting its financial results. One-off items were 29% 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 Interest payments are not well covered by earnings (2.4x net interest cover). Minor Risks Large one-off items impacting financial results. Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (2.1% net profit margin). Reported Earnings • Nov 09

Over the last 3 years on average, earnings per share has increased by 75% per year but the company’s share price has fallen by 11% per year, which means it is significantly lagging earnings.
