FirstService Declares 11% Increase To Quarterly Cash Dividend
05 Febbraio 2024 - 5:00PM
FirstService Corporation (TSX: FSV; NASDAQ: FSV)
("
FirstService") announced today that its Board of
Directors has approved an 11% increase in the quarterly cash
dividend on the outstanding Common Shares of the Company over the
previous US$0.225 per Common Share and declared a quarterly
dividend of US$0.25 per Common Share. The dividend is payable on
April 5, 2024 to holders of Common Shares of record at the close of
business on March 29, 2024.
The Company’s dividend will be US$1.00 on an
annualized basis, up from US$0.90 during the past year. This
distribution continues our long-term track record of compounded
annual dividend growth exceeding 10%. FirstService’s proven
growth-focused business model drives strong free cash flow which
also allows us to incrementally return capital to shareholders in
the form of these dividends while maintaining financial flexibility
and a conservative balance sheet.
The dividend on Common Shares is an "eligible
dividend" for Canadian income tax purposes.
