Declared Dividend • May 23
Dividend of S$0.01 announced Shareholders will receive a dividend of S$0.01. Ex-date: 10th July 2026 Payment date: 24th July 2026 Dividend yield will be 1.7%, which is lower than the industry average of 4.0%. Sustainability & Growth Dividend is not covered by earnings (101% earnings payout ratio) and the company has no free cash flows available, indicating it may be using cash reserves or debt to pay the dividend. The dividend has increased by an average of 5.0% per year over the past 10 years. However, payments have been volatile during that time. The company's earnings per share (EPS) would need to grow by 12% to bring the payout ratio under control.

New major risk - Dividend sustainability The dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. Payout ratio: 107% Dividend per share is over 42x cash flows per share. Dividend yield: 2.5% This is considered a major risk. Companies that pay out too much of their earnings and cash flows are at risk of having to reduce or cut their dividend in future. If earnings or cash flows stagnate or fall, then there may not be enough to maintain the same dividend. Or in extreme cases, companies may opt to dig into capital reserves or take on debt to maintain the dividend. For dividend paying companies, any reduction in the dividend can significantly impact the share price. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company.

New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 6.0% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS).

Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Dividend is not well covered by cash flows (91% cash payout ratio).
