With revenues growing steadily over the plan, reaching €12.7 billion in 2024, with positive contributions from all segments, Poste Italiane intends to distribute dividends for over €3 billion, based on a visible and competitive dividend policy with a DPS +35% over the plan horizon.
Starting from 2022 we will commit to a 7% annual growth rate, in line with the increase of net profit, starting from €0.59 for 2021 up by 21% on 2020.
2024 Sustain & Innovate will enable the continual delivery of value to shareholders with a dividend policy that is sustainable and in line with group performance.
Acting on the Board of Directors’ proposal, the Shareholders’ Meeting then approved an overall dividend for the year 2021 of 0.590 euros per share and the distribution of 0.405 euros per share as the balance of the dividend, following the interim dividend of 0.185 euros per share already paid in November 2021. The balance dividend will be paid – before withholding tax, if any – on 22 June 2022, with the ex-dividend date of coupon no. 10 falling on 20 June 2022 and the record date (the date which determines the shareholders who are entitled to the dividend) falling on 21 June 2022
