New minor risk - Dividend sustainability The dividend is not well covered by cash flows. Cash payout ratio: 205% Dividend yield: 2.2% 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 Risk Earnings have declined by 33% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Dividend is not well covered by cash flows (205% cash payout ratio). Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (9.0% average weekly change). Reported Earnings • Mar 18
