New minor risk - Dividend sustainability

The dividend is not well covered by cash flows. The company is paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Dividend yield: 3.5% This is considered a minor risk. Dividends are ultimately paid out of the company's available cash reserves. Companies that pay out too much of their cash flow are at risk of having to reduce or cut their dividend in future. If cash flow growth slows or cash flows fall, then there may not be enough cash reserves to maintain the same dividend. Or in extreme cases, companies may opt to take on debt to maintain the dividend. This risk is mitigated by the fact the dividend is covered by earnings, however, cash flows are generally more important. For dividend paying companies, any reduction in the dividend can significantly impact the share price. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Interest payments are not well covered by earnings (1.6x net interest cover). Earnings have declined by 12% per year over the past 5 years. High level of non-cash earnings (34% accrual ratio). Minor Risks Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Market cap is less than US$100m (LK₨13.0b market cap, or US$39.4m).
