  1. Dividend per share is the cash a company pays for each share, added up for each fiscal year.
  2. A company listed abroad files one annual report a year with the SEC. Its figures here are in pounds sterling, per ordinary share; one US-listed share stands for 2 ordinary shares, as that report states them.
  3. Payout is the share of profit, or of free cash flow, paid out. Below 100% the dividend is covered; above it the company paid more than it made that year.
  4. A dividend that grows year after year is often a sign of a steady business.
