You won't find children's chocolate retailer Yowie in an MBA student's textbook on how to run a successful public company. The shares are down 95 per cent since 2016, and the company consistently incinerates cash.

Its latest strategy is to pay out $US5.7 million ($8.7 million) of its remaining $US11 million cash balance via a 4¢ per share return to shareholders on the register as of June 30, 2020. This follows a 2¢ per share return in November 2019.
