The company had a RON2.86 billion net profit in 2021, which means it shares almost 70% of this sum with shareholders.
The gross dividend per share voted on Wednesday by shareholders stands at RON0.034 per units, which, against current trading prices of RON0.473 per share, secures a 7.2% dividend, in line with ZF calculations.
Out of the RON1.9 billion dividends, around RON1 billion will go to OMV, RON400 million to the Romanian state and the rest to the other investors.
We have a firm commitment to generate value for all interested parties, including the Romanian state. At the same time, we’re stepping up investments, which are estimated to grow by around 55% in 2022, to RON4.4 billion, says Christina Verchere, OMV Petrom CEO.
