Sustainable dividend policy.*

At least one third of the profit for the period is to be distributed to shareholders each year. If this value amounts to less than EUR 1.00 per share, the company will consider a higher payout ratio to ensure the annual base dividend of EUR 1.00

Depending on economic development, the market environment and capital requirements for upcoming projects, the dividend payment may be higher or lower than the annual base dividend. However, within a reference period of three years, the company aims to pay out an average annual dividend which corresponds to at least the annual base dividend (EUR 1.00).

Kapsch TrafficCom thus pursues a sustainable dividend policy, which gives the company sufficient flexibility to quickly react to market developments.

* On October 2, 2020, the dividend policy was suspended until further notice. Kapsch TrafficCom aims to resume dividend payments as soon as it is economically justifiable and permissible from the company’s perspective and ideally to return to the dividend policy.
