Dividend Policy
From the financial year commencing 1 April 2024 (FY2024/25), the Board will adopt a dividend policy of paying out between 30% and 50% of the Group’s underlying net profit. The Board believes this is a balanced policy taking into consideration the capital needs of the enterprise and sustainable returns to shareholders.
The Company will continue to declare interim and final dividends following the end of the first half and full financial year results.
