Final dividend of د.إ0.048 announced Dividend of د.إ0.048 is the same as last year.

The dividend has increased by an average of 16% per year over the past 2 years. However, payments have been volatile during that time. The company's earnings per share (EPS) would need to grow by 29% to bring the payout ratio under control. However, EPS has declined by 18% over the last year so the company would need to reverse this trend. Reported Earnings • Feb 12

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 5.1% 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 Dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. Payout ratio: 116% Cash payout ratio: 91% Earnings have declined by 5.1% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risk Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (5.0% average weekly change).
