An FCF payout above 100% means dividends exceeded the period's free cash flow, often because of temporarily depressed FCF (one-off capex or working-capital swings) rather than an unfunded dividend. Compare against the earnings payout ratio and the multi-year trend before drawing a conclusion.
This step chart displays the nominal dividend payouts over time by ex-dividend date (the date you must own the stock by to receive each payment), matching the distribution frequency.
