Operations: Burberry Group's revenue is primarily generated from its Retail/Wholesale segment, which brought in ￡2.91 billion, complemented by a smaller Licensing segment that contributed ￡63 million.
Dividend Yield: 6.8%
Burberry Group's dividends, with a 6.79% yield, rank in the top 25% of UK dividend payers. Despite a track record of volatile and unreliable dividends over the past decade, recent financials show both earnings and cash flows currently support its dividend payments with payout ratios at 82.5% and 73%, respectively. However, profit margins have declined from last year's 15.8% to 9.1%. The company recently proposed a reduced final dividend of ￡0.427 per share compared to ￡0.445 last year, reflecting some challenges in maintaining previous payout levels amidst fluctuating earnings, evidenced by a significant drop in net income from ￡490 million to ￡270 million year-over-year.
