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.
| Basis | Payout | Why |
|---|---|---|
| GAAP earnings | 75.0% | whyThe figure most screeners publish. |
| Operating cash flow | 105.2% | whyAbsorbs working-capital swings that earnings do not. |
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.
Spread between highest and lowest: 30.2 percentage points. Same filings, different denominators.

Coverage worsened sharply this year, 56.9% to 105.2%, after no clear trend before it. One year is not a trend, but it is worth knowing which direction the last one moved.
The arithmetic
