Financial services company DelfinGroup will pay out 833,880.53 euros or 0.0184 euros per share in dividends from the profit made in the third quarter of 2022, as it was decided at the extraordinary shareholders' meeting of 9 December. In 2022, not including the planned payment for the third quarter, the company has already paid out dividends five times for almost 4.6 million euros, or 0.1013 euros per share, which ensures shareholders with stable profitability.

 

22 December 2022 is set as the ex-dividend date for receiving the third quarter dividends. This means that dividends will be paid for those shares purchased up to and including 21 December, while the dividend payment is planned on 27 December.

 

"We have concluded another successful quarter, when DelfinGroup has fulfilled the set growth indicators, and for which the shareholders of the company will receive dividends. Furthermore, we feel confident, even during the current situation, because of the constant demand for our services in both consumer loans and the circular economy segment. Therefore, even in these uncertain times, we provide and will continue to provide our shareholders with regular dividend payments," informs DelfinGroup Member of the Management Board Aldis Umblejs.

 

It has already been announced that in the third quarter of 2022, DelfinGroup maintained stable growth indicators in all segments of its business. The company's income showed a 48% year-on-year increase in Q3, reaching 9.6 million euros. In addition, profit before taxes rose 49%, to 1.8 million euros, while the loan portfolio grew 39% since the beginning of the year, reaching 59.7 million euros.
