New major risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 90% of Japanese stocks, typically moving 9.9% a week.

It may also indicate the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (9.9% average weekly change).

Ex-date: 30th March 2026 Payment date: 18th June 2026 Dividend yield will be 2.8%, which is higher than the industry average of 2.3%.

The dividend has increased by an average of 8.0% per year over the past 10 years. However, payments have been volatile during that time. EPS is expected to remain steady over the next year, which should provide adequate earnings cover for the dividend. New Risk • Feb 15
New minor risk - Dividend sustainability The dividend is not well covered by cash flows. Cash payout ratio: 116% Dividend yield: 2.7% This is considered a minor risk. Dividends are ultimately paid out of the company's available cash reserves. Companies that pay out too much of their cash flow are at risk of having to reduce or cut their dividend in future. If cash flow growth slows or cash flows fall, then there may not be enough cash reserves to maintain the same dividend. Or in extreme cases, companies may opt to take on debt to maintain the dividend. This risk is mitigated by the fact the dividend is covered by earnings, however, cash flows are generally more important. For dividend paying companies, any reduction in the dividend can significantly impact the share price. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (12% average weekly change). Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (over 16x increase in shares outstanding). Minor Risk Dividend is not well covered by cash flows (116% cash payout ratio).

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 7.5% 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 Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (16% average weekly change). Earnings have declined by 7.5% per year over the past 5 years. Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (over 16x increase in shares outstanding). Duyuru • May 31

New Risk • Mar 30
New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Over 16x increase in shares outstanding. This is considered a major 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: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (14% average weekly change). Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (over 16x increase in shares outstanding). Reported Earnings • Mar 27
