Dividends
With the Fresenius Financial Framework we aim to generate attractive and predictable dividend yields. In line with our progressive dividend policy, we aim to increase the dividend in line with earnings per share growth (before special items, in constant currency) but at least maintain the dividend at the prior-year's level.
Dividend 2023
In 2023, the Fresenius Management Board decided to make use of the compensation and reimbursement payments for German hospitals in the amount of up to €300 million (from the current perspective) provided for by the ‘Energy Relief Package’ (‘Entlastungspaket Energiehilfen’) under the Hospital Financing Act (‘Krankenhausfinanzierungsgesetz’) to cover increased energy costs. This meant that Fresenius was subject to the related restrictions imposed by the legislator, including not being allowed to distribute a dividend for the 2023 fiscal year.
Notwithstanding the legally required suspension of dividend payments for the fiscal year 2023, Fresenius maintains its dividend policy for the future. Further information on the announcement can be found here.
