Or in extreme cases, companies may opt to dig into capital reserves or take on debt to maintain the dividend. 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 Dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. Payout ratio: 126% Cash payout ratio: 272% Earnings have declined by 4.0% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risk Market cap is less than US$100m (JP¥14.3b market cap, or US$98.5m).
