  • Dividend has been cut onceAcross 43 complete years, the annual total fell in 2013. The most recent reduction was in 2013.
  • Raised for 12 consecutive yearsA long record of increases suggests both the cash generation to fund them and a management commitment to maintaining them. This figure is derived from payment history and is approximate.
