Reading the payout ratio
The payout ratio is the share of net profit returned to shareholders as dividends. A ratio under ~70% generally leaves room to maintain the dividend through a weaker year; a ratio persistently near or above 100% means the company is paying out more than it earns, which is rarely sustainable. Per-share figures here are company-reported annual totals. Check the company's own announcements for franking credits and payment dates.
What is Origin Energy's (ORG) dividend history and payout ratio?
Origin Energy's per-share dividend has been inconsistent over the reported decade: $0.265 in FY2016, cut to a nominal $0.0011 in both FY2017 and FY2018, before rebuilding to $0.0938 in FY2019 and $0.2699 in FY2020. After easing to $0.1938 in FY2021 and $0.1785 in FY2022, the dividend has grown each year since, reaching $0.3301 in FY2023, $0.4756 in FY2024 and $0.577 in FY2025 — more than tripling from its FY2022 level.
The payout ratio has been volatile alongside swings in net income, turning negative in loss-making years such as FY2016 (-0.6656), FY2021 (-0.1495) and FY2022 (-0.219), and spiking to 5.7229 in FY2020 when a $475M dividend was paid against net income of only $83M. Since returning to sustained profitability, the payout ratio has settled into a more conventional range: 0.5384 in FY2023, 0.5863 in FY2024 and 0.6696 in FY2025, alongside net income of $1.1B, $1.4B and $1.5B in those respective years.
