Figures from the last annual report (in USD) for 2015-16 financial year:
basic earnings per share: 2.689
dividend per share: 1.260 (unfranked)
So dividend payout ratio is 1.260/2.689 = 0.469
The extent of the current buyback is AUD 500 million/ 462 million shares = AUD 1.08 per share.
Converting AUD to USD at 0.75, you get USD 0.81/share.
Total of dividend + buyback per share is 1.26 + 0.81 = USD 2.07 per share, which as a fraction of basic earnings per share is 2.07/2.689 = 0.77 approx.
As a long-term investor in CSL, I am not disturbed by their actions. They are retaining 23% of earnings for development of the business and distributing 77% to shareholders.
