Dividend payment policy

The Group has a long-standing dividend distribution policy that ensures a balance between the investments required for its development and the distribution of profits to shareholders.

The payout ratio is approximately 35%. This ratio is defined as:

Dividend per share × outstanding shares at December 31st / Net profit (Group share)

Where exceptional items have been recognized, in particular non-cash items, Net profit (Group share) may be restated for these items before applying the payout ratio.

Dividend for the last fiscal year

A dividend payment of €3.40 per share is proposed for fiscal year 2023.

Based on 172,608,113 shares outstanding at December 31^st, 2023, the total Capgemini dividend distribution in respect of fiscal year 2023 would be €587 million.

The effective dividend distribution will depend on the number of treasury shares held at the ex-dividend date and any shares issued or cancelled prior to this date.

The dividend payment schedule to be submitted to the Shareholders’ Meeting for approval would be:
May 29, 2024        Ex-dividend date on Euronext Paris
May 31, 2024         Payment of the dividend
