New major risk - Financial position The company's debt is not well covered by operating cash flow. Operating cash flow to total debt ratio: 18% This is considered a major risk. If the company's operating cash flows are too small relative to the size of their debt, it increases their balance sheet risk. The company has less cash from operations to cover its expenses from servicing large debt and it increases the risk of liquidity issues. It also extends the time it would take for the company to pay back the debt in full, meaning it may not be able to easily pay it all off in a distress scenario. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (18% operating cash flow to total debt). Shares are highly illiquid. Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 18% per year for the foreseeable future. Minor Risk Dividend is not well covered by cash flows (185% cash payout ratio). Declared Dividend • Apr 13

Since a fall of 56% would increase the payout ratio to a potentially unsustainable range, the dividend may be at risk. Declared Dividend • Mar 19
