New major risk - Dividend sustainability The dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. Payout ratio: 93% Cash payout ratio: 154% Dividend yield: 5.6% This is considered a major risk. Companies that pay out too much of their earnings and cash flows are at risk of having to reduce or cut their dividend in future.

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: 93% Cash payout ratio: 154% Earnings have declined by 18% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risk Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (7.4% net profit margin).
