Dividend Policy

Sword Group’s dividend policy is closely linked to the profits generated and to the Group’s development prospects. In accordance with Article 24 of its Articles of Association, after deduction of prior losses and statutory reserves, the distributable profit may be allocated—upon proposal of the Board of Directors—to the payment of dividends, to retained earnings, or to be carried forward.

Historically, Sword Group has paid annual dividends, the amount of which varies depending on the financial performance of each fiscal year.

Dividends paid for the last three financial years:

  • Financial year 2025: A gross dividend of €2.00 per share was paid, with payment made on 4 May 2026.
  • Financial year 2024: A gross dividend of €2.00 per share was paid, with payment made on 5 May 2025.
  • Financial year 2023: A gross dividend of €1.70 per share was paid, with payment made on 3 May 2024.

These decisions illustrate Sword Group’s commitment to a regular and consistent distribution policy, while preserving the investment capacity required to support its long-term growth.
