RE: Payout Ratio

As I am rather new at this i have to ask, how is it possible to have a 107% payout ratio? And not only that but why would they even want to pay out over 100%?

Any particular reason this company chooses to have such a high payout ratio? why not lower to say 90% and conserve some cash to fund more growth/expansion?

thanks
