Dividends

EQUITA benefits from a particular business model that invests in capital-light initiatives. This allows the Group to use the cash generated from net profits to finance distributions to shareholders, M&A transactions and investments in new initiatives aimed at accelerating organic growth, keeping at the same time strong financial soundness as demonstrated by the rock-solid capital ratios, well above minimum capital requirements.

Figures referred to total dividends and per share dividends include the two tranches of the 2025 dividend.

Historically, EQUITA has always distributed to shareholders 100% of net profits. Since 2017, following the admission to AIM Italia (today Euronext Growth Milan) and the translisting to Euronext STAR Milan in 2018, the management has decided to retain each year a portion of net profits, to pursue a more conservative approach aimed at promoting increasing dividends and finance potential accretive corporate finance transactions.
