Since flotation in November 2003, RWS has pursued a progressive dividend policy. The highly cash generative business model and modest capex requirements have allowed for rapid debt repayment, acquisitions, continued organic investment in the business and an increasing dividend.
The Board therefore is pleased to recommend a final dividend of 7.00p per share, which, together with the interim dividend of 1.75p per share, will result in a total dividend for the year ended 30 September 2019 of 8.75p per share, an increase of 17% compared to 2018. Subject to shareholder approval at the next AGM, it will be paid on 21 February 2020 to shareholders on the register as at 24 January 2020
