New Risk • Aug 09
New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 36% 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 36% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risk Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (9.8% average weekly change). Duyuru • Aug 08

BASE, Inc Launches Drop-Shipping Function for the First Time in Japan BASE Inc. announced it will launch this summer the "Sales Partner App" the first drop-shipping function for online shop creation services in Japan. This function enables shops that use "BASE" to collaborate on consignment sales. By connecting "supplier's shops" that excel in goods production with "seller's shops" that excel in sales, each shop can concentrate on goods production and sales promotions respectively. Prior to the release of the App this summer, it launched preliminary functions on July 4, 2024, which enable "supplier's shops" to register their goods to be sold on consignment, and "seller's shop" to apply for consignment sales. The "Sales Partner App" is one of the "BASE Apps", extended functions provided to online shops using "BASE," that enables drop-shipping between shops using "BASE". Drop-shipping allows online shops to operate without carrying inventory. The "Sales Partner App" connects "supplier's shops" that produce goods with "seller's shops", enabling "seller's shops" to sell the goods of "supplier's shops" without carrying inventory. Since a "supplier's shop" handles the production, inventory management, and shipping of goods, the company recommend those who are good at attracting customers and sales promotions to open a shop as a "seller's shop". First, it will provide partial functionality up to the listing and linkage functions, but it plan to provide full functionality+ by the end of this summer. The "Sales Partner App" will be updated with new functions to solve the problems of both "supplier's shops" and "seller's shops". Preliminary launch date: July 4, 2024 Full function available date: by the end of summer Available for: Online shops using BASE. Features of the Sales Partner App 1, "BASE" has the No. 1 track record (1) in opening online shops, so one can build a network with a wide variety of shops. App usage fees charged to "supplier's shops" are only when goods are sold. They can leave customer attraction and sales promotion to "seller's shop" with no fixed costs. Since the role of a "seller's shop" is to sell, there is no need to purchase goods, manage inventory, or ship goods. It is possible to earn rewards when goods are sold, making it smooth for influencers to open seller's shops. Duyuru • Jun 28

New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 2.7% 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.
