Last usable year: 2010-12-31 — 190 months ago. Nothing filed since gives the figures a payout ratio needs. For a company that once paid, that usually means it stopped.

why
The figure most screeners publish.

Only one basis is shown, and that is the point. Operating and free cash flow swing with loan, deposit and reserve movements, so for a lender or insurer neither says anything about whether the dividend is affordable. Investment income is omitted for a second reason: insurers file it under the same tag a BDC uses, but it means investment income on float rather than the money that funds the distribution. Screeners that publish these for a bank are printing arithmetic, not information — and a wide gap between them is noise, not a finding.
