Pandox AB (publ) adjusts dividend policy

9 May, 2019, 08:30
Regulatory information
To capture growth opportunities while at the same time maintaining a strong financial position, Pandox has decided to adjust its dividend policy. Pandox’s new target is a dividend pay-out ratio of 30-50 percent (previously 40-60 percent) of total cash earnings (*), with an average dividend pay-out ratio over time of approximately 40 percent (previously approximately 50 percent).

Pandox will remain a company with good returns and a balanced financial risk. Pandox’s management and board expect that the new dividend policy will contribute positively to the company’s possibilities to create growth and shareholder value in a growing hotel market.

Pandox’s capital structure target remains unchanged with a loan-to-value of 45-60 percent, depending on market development and current opportunities.

Pandox is today arranging a capital markets day in Stockholm 13:00-16:00 CEST, where the company’s strategic position and growth drivers will be described. The starting point is Pandox’s platform for value creation which has contributed to the company growing faster than the hotel market over time.
