Last usable year: 2013-12-31 — 154 months ago. Nothing filed since gives the figures a payout ratio needs. For a company that once paid, that usually means it stopped.
Free cash flow is not shown for this company. It cannot be computed from what this company files — the inputs are absent from its XBRL, not zero. The figure marked in the table is operating cash flow instead.

No free cash flow figure is shown. This company does not report the inputs for it in its XBRL filings — capital expenditure, in particular, is often folded into a single investing total rather than tagged on its own. The figure is absent from the filings, not zero, and inventing one from a balance-sheet movement would be a guess dressed as a measurement.

Against its own history: 28.8% this year vs 17.0% median over the prior 5. A gap this size is usually a one-off — acquisition, settlement, cyclical trough — not a dividend that stopped being funded. The rating reads the latest year; the table shows the trend.

Coverage has deteriorated three years running, 5.5% to 28.8%. Still covered, but moving the wrong way.
