Dividend payment policy
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 last fiscal year
A dividend payment of €3.25 per share is proposed for fiscal year 2022.
Based on 173,582,113 shares outstanding at December 31st, 2022, the total Capgemini dividend distribution in respect of fiscal year 2022 would be €564 million.
The payout ratio for the year ended December 31st, 2022, excluding non-recurring income or tax expenses, would be 35%.
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.
