Dividend policy
The Board has adopted a dividend policy where the ambition is that the dividend shall be 40-60 percent of the profit after taxes. The dividend shall reflect the Board’s view on the expected market development and the Company’s growth strategy.
Dividend for 2022
The Board suggests a dividend of SEK 7.50 (7.00) per share for the financial year, totaling SEK 205.6 (191.9) million, to be paid out on two occasions during the year, in line with the process last year. The Board's suggestion is therefore for dividends of SEK 3.75 with a planned record date on May 5, 2023, and SEK 3.75 with a planned record date on November 16, 2023.
