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 2024.
Based on 171,347,471 shares outstanding at December 31st, 2024, the total Capgemini dividend distribution in respect of fiscal year 2024 would be €580 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 20, 2025 Ex-dividend date on Euronext Paris
May 22, 2025 Payment of the dividend
