Upcoming dividend of US$0.65 per share Eligible shareholders must have bought the stock before 19 August 2024. Payment date: 01 September 2024. Payout ratio is a comfortable 63% but the company is paying out more than the cash it is generating. Trailing yield: 4.6%. Lower than top quartile of Mexican dividend payers (7.2%). Higher than average of industry peers (4.1%). New Risk • Aug 03
New minor risk - Dividend sustainability The dividend is not well covered by cash flows. Cash payout ratio: 109% Dividend yield: 4.4% 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 Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (17% operating cash flow to total debt). Shares are highly illiquid. Minor Risks Dividend is not well covered by cash flows (109% cash payout ratio). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (3.9% increase in shares outstanding). Significant insider selling over the past 3 months (Mex$2.9m sold). Tillkännagivande • Aug 02
