First quarter dividend of US$0.45 announced Shareholders will receive a dividend of US$0.45. Ex-date: 21st May 2026 Payment date: 28th May 2026 Dividend yield will be 7.0%, which is higher than the industry average of 2.7%. Sustainability & Growth Dividend is not covered by earnings (113% earnings payout ratio) nor is it covered by cash flows (124% cash payout ratio). The dividend has increased by an average of 73% per year over the past 3 years. However, payments have been volatile during that time.
