Headlam Group plc is declaring an interim ordinary dividend of 4.0 pence per share (2022: 6.2 pence interim ordinary dividend), representing a dividend cover of 1.5x compared to underlying basic earnings per share. The Group intends to retain this lower level of cover through 2023 and 2024, and then re-evaluate with a view to potentially building back to 2.0x cover as the market and Group earnings improve.
