New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 41% 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 Risk Earnings have declined by 41% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable next year (US$65m net loss next year). Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (12% average weekly change).

Operational Value for End Users: BLOS without SATCOM: MPR provides real-time data connectivity over-the-horizon up to 150 miles; this capability can be critical in satellite contested environments or when limited space segment is available. Reliable Communications: The MPR ensures clear and consistent communications across echelons, overcoming signal degradation caused by terrain or obstacles. Enhanced Situational Awareness: Reliable data exchange facilitates a shared understanding of a variety of scenarios ranging from military operations to disaster response, which is crucial for informed decision-making. Improved Interoperability: The MPR is over the air compatible with Comtech's entire Family of Troposcatter Systems. To enhance network and information interoperability, MPR provides an easy-to-use Layer 2 interface integration package for all IP based MESH and MANET radio networks. Common Digital Architecture: MPR is designed to leverage a common digital architecture across the Company's other product lines, including Comtech's Digital Common Ground modems. Low SWAP: The MPR provides users maximum SWAP flexibility against varied environments. The small footprint and rapid set up provide users with a true expeditionary capability. Enhancements: Comtech's MPR has a series of planned enhancements, including point-to-multi-point, which will allow simultaneous communications to multiple on-the-move platforms and stationary sites, eliminating the need for multiple systems at the hub location.

Comtech Launches Artificial Intelligence-Enabled Public Safety Solution Comtech announced the launch of SmartAssist™, an artificial intelligence (“AI”)-backed solution developed to answer low-priority non-emergency calls without engaging a telecommunicator. SmartAssist is designed to help Emergency Communications Centers (“ECCs”) and Public Safety Answering Points (“PSAPs”) manage call and Internet of Things device volumes by using AI chatbots to answer and triage non-emergency calls. The first of many applications in SmartAssist relies on AI bots programmed using conversational design to understand the natural language of the caller and resolve the caller’s request without the need for human intervention for non-emergency calls. The SmartAssist solution provides robust AI-backed voice and chatbot capabilities that enable public safety customers to leverage customized response solutions for a broad spectrum of low-priority non-emergency caller inquiries, ranging from text messages and form creation to foreign language capacities and performance metrics. Comtech is partnering with multiple agencies and its Next Generation 911 customers across the United States in pre-market trials to integrate and deploy SmartAssist in PSAPs connected to the Company’s NG911 networks to enhance non-emergency 9-1-1 response rates, effectively prioritize mission-critical calls, improve situational awareness, and reduce staffing shortages. SmartAssist is the first solution within Comtech’s SmartNG portfolio of services. The Company’s SmartNG portfolio of services will enable the convergence of Next Generation 911 and AI solutions to enhance and optimize ECC/PSAP workflows. As the first SmartNG service offered, SmartAssist will significantly enhance public safety call processing, reduce emergency response times, and alleviate the impacts of staffing shortages. SmartAssist integrates with existing administrative phone lines without requiring changes to the Call Handling Equipment, allowing Comtech customers to immediately begin benefitting from this staff augmentation tool. Comtech is continuing to build out its SmartNG portfolio, which will include other interoperable AI-backed capabilities that incorporate language identification, transcription, translation, and advanced analytics, among other services. Comtech’s SmartNG portfolio creates new comprehensive public safety solutions designed with the future in mind—enhancing emergency response and assisting with staffing challenges.

New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 2.6% 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). 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. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on current free cash flow (-US$23m). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (2.6% increase in shares outstanding). Tillkännagivande • Nov 09
