Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders.

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). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings.

New minor risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$100m. Market cap: US$96.5m 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 Risks Interest payments are not well covered by earnings (0.6x net interest cover). Earnings have declined by 2.5% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Negative equity (-US$64m). Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (11% average weekly change).

New Risk • Jul 21
New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 2.5% per year over the past 5 years. 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 declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. 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 Interest payments are not well covered by earnings (0.6x net interest cover). Earnings have declined by 2.5% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Negative equity (-US$64m). Market cap is less than US$100m (US$84.4m market cap). Reported Earnings • Jul 20
