Dividend policy

The Group’s dividend policy strikes a balance between investing in business expansion and delivering returns to shareholders:

  • Focusing on maximising shareholder value, the policy boosts pay-outs during low investment cycles and limits them in periods when sizeable acquisitions meeting Globaltrans’ strict return criteria are identified;
  • Clear formula linking dividends to Attributable Free Cash Flow and Leverage Ratio provides flexibility and transparency in capital allocation.

[1] Since 2016 dividends on Globaltrans shares/Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs) have been declared in Russian roubles and paid in US dollars. Rounding adjustments have been made in calculating the dividend amounts for the indicated period presented in US dollars. Prior to 2016 dividends on Globaltrans shares/GDRs were declared and paid in US dollars, thus the amounts for the indicated period in Russian roubles are presented for informational purposes only and calculated at the Central Bank of Russia’s official exchange rate for the Russian rouble as of the date of the Annual General Meeting that approved the respective dividend.
[2] The dividend declared on 28 April 2016 relates to both the 2014 and 2015 financial years. A dividend was not paid in 2015 in respect of the financial year ended 31 December 2014, a decision approved at the annual general meeting of shareholders on 27 April 2015. However, in April 2016 a decision was made to pay a dividend in respect of both 2014 and 2015 financial years in 2016.
