Considering the achieved net result for the year 2021 and the development of external market circumstances, Triodos Bank proposes a dividend amount of EUR 1.8 per share. This dividend proposal is equivalent to a pay-out ratio of 50%, which is in line with Triodos Bank's internal dividend policy. The remaining profit will be attributed to the retained earnings of the bank, ensuring a sound capital base for future growth.
For the years 2020 and 2019, the dividend amount was calculated in line with the ECB’s temporary ‘dividend distribution rules’ and paid out to shareholders on 28 May 2021.
Earnings per share, calculated using the average number of outstanding shares during the financial year, were EUR 3.56 (2020: EUR 1.91), a 87% increase.
