Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 1.1% per year for the foreseeable future. Minor Risk Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past. Major Estimate Revision • Feb 25

New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of British stocks, typically moving 7.3% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates 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. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Dividend is not well covered by earnings (404% payout ratio). Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (7.3% average weekly change). Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (1.7% net profit margin). Declared Dividend • Aug 01

Sustainability & Growth Dividend is not covered by earnings (404% earnings payout ratio). However, it is well covered by cash flows (16% cash payout ratio). The dividend has remained flat since 4 years ago. However, payments have been volatile during that time. The company's earnings per share (EPS) would need to grow by 349% to bring the payout ratio under control. EPS is expected to grow by 127% over the next 3 years, which means the dividend may need to be reduced to reach a sustainable payout ratio. Reported Earnings • Jul 31
