The Company announces the payment of the third interim dividend in respect of the year ended 30 September 2025 of 4.4 pence per ordinary share (2024: 4.2 pence per ordinary share).
The dividend will be paid on 24 October 2025 to all shareholders on the register on 19 September 2025. The ex- dividend date is 18 September 2025.
In the absence of unforeseen circumstances, it is the Board's intention that the fourth interim dividend, payable in January 2026, will also be 4.4 pence per ordinary share which would result in a total dividend for the year ending 30 September 2025 of 17.6 pence per ordinary share.
Based on the share price at 8 September 2025, this would represent a 3.2% dividend yield and is an overall increase of 4.8% on the total dividend payment for the financial year ended 30 September 2024 of 16.8 pence per ordinary share.
