New major risk - Earnings quality The company has a high level of non-cash earnings. Accrual ratio: 121% 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 Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (11% average weekly change). High level of non-cash earnings (121% accrual ratio). Minor Risk Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (0.6% net profit margin). Reported Earnings • Apr 28

New minor risk - Profit margin trend The company's profit margins are lower than last year and have reduced by more than 30%.

A large drop in profit margin could indicate the company does not have strong competitive advantages or it is yet to establish itself and its core business.

This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Tillkännagivande • Dec 27
