Indeed. Refinancing bank debt along with possibly some new projects.

From my limited understanding, I thought dividends could only be paid from profits?

Yes, they must be paid out of profits BUT that can be retained profit from previous financial years and not just the profits from the year that the divi's are paid out in.
The term dividend cover ratio relates to this in that how much of the current years profits are covered by the dividend payout actually made.
