Written by Customer Service on . Posted in Public Companies.

VIENNA, Austria – Today, BAWAG Group’s shareholders approved the proposal from the Management Board as well as the Supervisory Board for a dividend of € 5.00 per share for the 2023 financial year. The dividend will be paid out on April 15, 2024, ex dividend day will be April 10, 2024.

Anas Abuzaakouk, CEO, presented at the Annual General Meeting: “Since our IPO in October 2017, we delivered a total shareholder return of 67%, EPS growth of 9% per year, and an average RoTCE of 16%. We have also extended € 47 billion of credit to our customers, supporting our customers while growing the franchise, self-funded 9 acquisitions, and distributed € 2.6 billion of capital in the form of dividends and share buybacks. The capital distributions were € 1.7 billion in dividends, equal to a total € 19.70 per share, and € 900 million of share buybacks, reducing our overall share capital by over 21%.

Today, I am more excited about our future growth opportunities than I have ever been. Our transformation over the past decade has positioned the franchise for long-term profitable growth and has allowed us to pursue several strategic growth opportunities, such as Knab bank. My colleagues and I could not be prouder of the BAWAG team! We look forward to delivering on behalf of all stakeholders in the many years to come.”

The details of the Annual General Meeting are available on BAWAG Group’s website.

BAWAG Group will report its Q1 2024 results on April 29, 2024.
