NZX dividend coverage comparison table

Copy, export, or share this public Annolyse data reference.

Dividend strain is concentrated rather than universal. BGP stands out because the payout was not covered by free cash flow, while ATM's statutory payout ratio is distorted by a discontinued-operation NPAT collapse and is better read through the cash-coverage column. Nil dividends from FBU and KMD are shown explicitly as no dividend, not as a flattering 'covered' outcome.

Methodology

Dividend coverage uses standard Annolyse calculations for the latest published period, with payout versus NPAT shown alongside pre-lease free-cash-flow coverage when the data supports it. Nil dividends are labeled explicitly, and non-meaningful payout ratios from loss periods or distorted statutory earnings are shown as n/m rather than forcing a percentage.
