Fourth quarter dividend of AU$0.068 announced Shareholders will receive a dividend of AU$0.068. Ex-date: 25th May 2026 Payment date: 12th June 2026 Dividend yield will be 4.6%, which is higher than the industry average of 3.2%. Sustainability & Growth Dividend is not covered by earnings (417% earnings payout ratio) and the company has no free cash flows available, indicating it may be using cash reserves or debt to pay the dividend. The dividend has increased by an average of 8.4% per year over the past 5 years and payments have been stable during that time. The company's earnings per share (EPS) would need to grow by 364% to bring the payout ratio under control. EPS is expected to grow by 107% over the next 3 years, which means the dividend may need to be reduced to reach a sustainable payout ratio. DBI

Dalrymple Bay Infrastructure Lifts FY26/27 Guidance and Reaffirms Steady Distribution Growth Dalrymple Bay Infrastructure lifted its FY26/27 distribution guidance by 8.5%, citing support from regulated tariff growth and a higher Terminal Infrastructure Charge of about A$4.02 per tonne linked to non-expansionary capex.
The company declared a Q1 FY26 distribution of 6.750 AU cents per share, which aligns with earlier forecasts.
Management reiterated an annual distribution growth target of 3 to 7%, supported by fully contracted terminal capacity through mid-2028 and cash flows backed by long-term contracts and regulated tariffs.
This guidance update points to a clearer income profile, with distributions tied to regulated charges and contracted volumes rather than short-term market swings.
Investors should still pay close attention to future regulatory decisions on tariffs and the level of capital expenditure, as both can influence the sustainability of the current distribution targets.
