The Trust’s net debt-to-EBITDA ratio is projected to improve Total dividend payout (of EBITDA) from 3.9x as at end-FY17 to 3.1x by end-FY21F, thanks to decreasing overall debt from an extensive debt repayment 90% programme and stabilising EBITDA. With its net debt-to- 84% 80% EBITDA ratio expected to reach a near decade low in FY21F, 76% we expect the 5-year HK$1bn per annum debt repayment 70% 71% plan to end in FY21F and for the Trust to resume a higher 60% 61% dividend payout from FY22F onwards. 50% 51% 47% Gearing ratio vs Dividends 43% 40% 40% 39% 36% 35% 30% 4.5 60 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20F 21F 22F
