eXtra BoD decides not to distribute dividends for 2nd consecutive quarter, as expected  

United Electronics Company’s (eXtra) Board of Directors (BoD) has decided not to distribute cash dividends for 4Q2015, for the second quarter in a row. We had anticipated this, given the company’s lacklustre earnings growth momentum – while the company reported 21% growth in 4Q2015 earnings, this was weak if its comparable base (4Q2014) is adjusted for lost sales of cSAR150 million, in light of the one-week store closure of eight stores during the company’s annual mega sale(we estimate adjusted earnings contraction of c32%). The company’s total cash distributions in 2015 were SAR0.92/share implying a dividend payout of 67% and yield of 1.9%.
