The Board of Directors pursues a sustainable dividend policy that takes account of the ambitious growth targets of the Komax Group. The implementation of Strategy 2028 requires substantial investment, such as in acquisitions, for example. In order to drive forward this investment and to take account of the volatile and challenging business environment, the Board of Directors recommended a break from the very high payout ratios of recent years for the time being (2022 financial year: 54.5%).
