New major risk - Earnings quality The company has a high level of non-cash earnings. Accrual ratio: 22% This is considered a major risk. Non-cash earnings can arise from many different things. However, if a company consistently has a high level of non-cash earnings, it may be a sign that they are recognizing revenue from customers before the full value of the sales are received as cash or they are not depreciating the value of their assets appropriately. These are practices that inflate earnings, while not providing a similar increase to cash flows. Companies in some select industries naturally have a high level of non-cash earnings and it is not a major concern. However, in the worst case scenario it can be an early sign of performance manipulation by management. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. Paying a dividend despite being loss-making. Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Earnings have declined by 8.2% per year over the past 5 years. High level of non-cash earnings (22% accrual ratio). Reported Earnings • May 13

The molten steel that penetrated the refractory material caused the shell of the electric furnace to melt. Furthermore, the molten steel that leaked out reacted with the water accumulated in the underground pit of the electric arc furnace, resulting in a steam explosion.
