Holmen's Annual General Meeting 2025 resolved in favour of paying a dividend of SEK 12.0 (11.5) per share, of which SEK 3 (3) per share relates to an extra dividend.
Dividend will be based on the Group's profitability situation, future investment plans and financial position.
Over the past decade the total dividend has averaged 4 per cent of equity. This means that around 75 per cent of earnings per share have been paid by way of total dividend.
In addition to ordinary dividends, Holmen paid extra dividends for the financial years 1998, 2000, 2003, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024.
