New minor risk - Dividend sustainability The dividend is not well covered by earnings. Payout ratio: 0% Dividend yield: 3.9% This is considered a minor risk. Companies that pay out too much of their earnings are at risk of having to reduce or cut their dividend in future. If earnings growth slows or earnings fall, then there may not be enough earnings to maintain the same dividend. Or in extreme cases, companies may opt to dig into capital reserves or take on debt to maintain the dividend. However, this risk is mitigated by the fact the dividend is covered by cash flows. 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 Risk Interest payments are not well covered by earnings (1.8x net interest cover). Minor Risk Dividend is not well covered by earnings (0% payout ratio). Reported Earnings • Feb 07
