RE:RE:135% payout ratio
RE:RE:135% payout ratioHe said this on Oct 8:
"135% payout ratio, not sustainable. But if business returns, as he thinks it will, payout ratio will go down to 62%. Real problem is balance sheet. Need to focus on asset sales. Has upside, but pretty risky. Better yield stories elsewhere."
Not entirely sure where he gets his 135% payout ratio though... probably doesn't know/calculate that with the cut distributions. Looking at the June 30 report, distributable cash was $0.75 for the first six months. At the current distributions, they would have paid $0.30 off that distributable cash (40%). The distributable cash for the first six months even covers the full $0.60 yearly distribution.
Otherwise, their balance sheet is indeed not good looking. That's why though the share price is this low. Definately an investment on the riskier side, as the new management may decide to cut the distribution further to fix the balance sheet.
