Dividend

Dividend commitment

GBL’s paid dividend is derived from (i) cash earnings and (ii) capital gains on asset disposals.

Cash earnings are primarily composed of the net dividend paid by GBL’s portfolio companies.

GBL decides, at its discretion, the amount of capital gains on asset disposals that contribute to the group’s paid dividend.

In May 2025, the group paid a significantly enhanced dividend per share for FY 2024 of €5.00, representing an increase of + 82%, and paid an even higher dividend per share of €5.125 in May 2026 for FY 2025. The group intends to maintain the dividend per share stable⁽¹⁾ thereafter.

On this basis, GBL will continue to provide an attractive dividend to its shareholders while, thanks to its solid liquidity profile, releasing financial resources to support (i) net asset value per share growth throughout the cycle, (ii) its portfolio companies if needed and (iii) the execution of the group’s share buyback program.
