Dividend Declared
On February 13, 2018, L3 Technologies announced that its Board of Directors has increased the Company’s regular quarterly cash dividend from $0.75 to $0.80 per share. The Board has also declared the next dividend payable on March 15, 2018, to shareholders of record at the close of business on March 01, 2018.
“Our 14th consecutive annual dividend increase underscores the Board’s continued confidence in our growth strategy and our robust cash flow,” said Christopher E. Kubasik, L3’s Chief Executive Officer and President, “We will continue our disciplined approach to grow and invest in the company to increase shareholder value, including returning cash through quarterly dividends.”

Dividend Insight
L3 Technologies has a dividend payout ratio of 33.5%, which mean that the Company spends approximately $0.34 for dividend distribution out of every $1.00 earned. The dividend payout ratio reflects how much amount a company is returning to shareholders versus how much money it is keeping on hand to reinvest in growth, to pay off debt, and/or to add to its cash reserves.
According to analysts’ estimates, L3 Technologies is forecasted to report earnings of $10.79 for the next year, which is more than three times compared to the Company’s annualized dividend of $3.20 per share.
L3 Technologies’ met cash from operating activities from continuing operations was $986 million for FY17 compared to $1.02 billion for FY6. The Company paid dividends of $236 million during FY017 compared to $220 million during FY16. The Company’s strong financial position indicates its ability to absorb any fluctuations in earnings and cash flow and to sustain the dividend distribution for a long period.
