Dividend has been cut 2 timesAcross 33 complete years, the annual total fell in 2003, 2004. The most recent reduction was in 2004.
Raised for 20 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.
