Dividend

GEA Group AG has a strong and sustainable business model. The company wants its shareholders to participate in this with an attractive dividend. A regular payout ratio is targeted of approximately 50 percent of consolidated earnings before restructuring expenses. In addition, in the interest of an attractive dividend policy, GEA Group AG aims to pay a dividend that is 5 cents higher than the previous year’s figure. This provision already applies to the dividend proposal for fiscal year 2021. 

Accordingly, and on the basis of the very good earnings development in fiscal year 2021, the Executive and Supervisory Boards will propose to the Annual General Meeting that a dividend of EUR 0.90 per share be paid, EUR 0.05 higher than in the previous year. This corresponds to a dividend yield of 1.9 percent based on the closing price on December 31, 2021.
