That's relatively low compared to, say, the P/E ratio for the ASX over the 12 months to December 2019 (32.14). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.

Vita Life Sciences share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 35.42% of net profits
Recently Vita Life Sciences has paid out, on average, around 35.42% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.54% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Vita Life Sciences shareholders could enjoy a 3.54% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Vita Life Sciences 's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.043 per share.
While Vita Life Sciences 's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Vita Life Sciences may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 18 March 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").
