Nothing is marked as applying, deliberately. The basis that governs here is free cash flow, and this year it yields no ratio at all. The figure above is shown for completeness; treating it as the answer is the substitution this page exists to prevent.
The arithmetic
- GAAP earnings — dividends declared per share $0.750 ÷ diluted EPS $5.03
- Operating cash flow — dividends paid $19.7m ÷ operating cash flow $-116m
- Free cash flow — dividends paid $19.7m ÷ (operating cash flow $-116m − capex $4.43m)
