Formula: FCF Payout Ratio TTM = trailing 4Q dividends paid / trailing 4Q free cash flow × 100

FCF payout and earnings payout:

  • FCF represents operating cash flow after capital expenditures
  • FCF payout compares dividends paid with free cash flow
  • FCF payout above 100% means dividends paid exceeded free cash flow for the period
  • Earnings payout compares dividends paid with net income

Reading the series: Use the chart and table to compare dividend payments with cash generation over time.

FCF Payout Ratio Formula & Definition

FCF Payout Ratio measures trailing dividends paid as a percentage of trailing free cash flow. Unlike earnings-based payout, it compares dividends with cash generated after capital expenditures.
