New Risk • Dec 03
New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 4.4% 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 4.4% per year for the foreseeable future. High level of non-cash earnings (23% accrual ratio). Minor Risks Dividend is not well covered by cash flows (dividend per share is over 7x cash flows per share). Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (8.1% average weekly change). Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (11% net profit margin).

New minor risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$100m. Market cap: UK£75.4m (US$98.8m) This is considered a minor risk. Companies with a small market capitalization are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk High level of non-cash earnings (23% accrual ratio). Minor Risks Dividend is not well covered by cash flows (dividend per share is over 7x cash flows per share). Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (11% net profit margin).
