RE:RE:RE:CSE tanks
RE:RE:RE:CSE tanksFrom page 3 of the Q1 2015 quarterly report:
Our quarterly payout ratio, which is based on AFFO, was 113%, compared with 36% in the first quarter of 2014. This elevated amount was anticipated in Capstone’s plan to bring new wind facilities on stream to compensate for lower- margin contracts at Cardinal and Whitecourt. Our long-term target remains an average payout ratio of between 70% and 80%.
By long term they mean Q4 2017 or earlier. They have the cash and credit to continue the current dividend throughout that time frame.
We ended the quarter on a sound financial footing, with a debt-to-capitalization ratio of 70.8% and unrestricted cash and equivalents of $55.3 million, of which $24.2 million is available for general corporate purposes, along with $39.3 million in undrawn corporate credit capacity.
