Dividend
The Board of Directors proposes a dividend for 2023 of SEK 3.80 (3.45) per share distributed to the shareholders in two payments of SEK 1.90 per share and SEK 1.90 per share, respectively.
The total proposed dividend amounts to 47 percent of net income adjusted for the divestment of Securitas Argentina capital loss. The record date for the first payment is proposed to be May 13, 2024, and for the second payment November 18, 2024. If the Annual General Meeting so resolves, the first payment is expected to be distributed by Euroclear Sweden AB starting May 16, 2024, and the second payment starting November 21, 2024.
Dividend policy
With a balanced growth strategy comprising both organic and acquisition driven growth and continued investments in technology and security solutions, Securitas should be able to sustain a dividend in the range of 50–60 percent of annual net income.
