Against its own history: 466.4% this year vs 83.6% 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.

The arithmetic
- GAAP earnings — dividends declared per share $1.10 ÷ diluted EPS $-0.710
- Operating cash flow — dividends paid $387m ÷ operating cash flow $457m
- Free cash flow — dividends paid $387m ÷ (operating cash flow $457m − capex $330m)
- Funds from operations — dividends declared per share $1.10 ÷ derived FFO $0.236 per share
- FFO built NAREIT-style: net income, plus real-estate depreciation, less gains on sale, over weighted-average diluted shares
- This is an approximation. Every REIT defines its own adjusted variant in the filing text, so it will not match the earnings release exactly

Caveats on this company
- ebitda built from net income (no operating income reported)
- FFO payout 466% covers a year in which the declared dividend fell 11% from $1.24 to $1.10. The ratio spans pre- and post-cut quarters and is not representative of the current run rate.
- FFO derived (NAREIT approximation)
