Dividend
Fluxys Belgium's net profits in 2017 totalled €44.7 million, compared to €33.7 million in 2016. This increase is essentially due to the same reasons as the changes in the consolidated results, namely the rise in rates for linear bonds (OLOs) which affects the regulated rate of return, just like the increase in the profit from non-regulated activities, including dividend yield. According to Belgian standards, the tax reform has no impact on the profits of the current financial year.
Since 2010 and barring unforeseen events, Fluxys Belgium has strived to distribute 100% of its net profit for the year plus any reserves released in line with the depreciation of the revaluation surplus.
At the Annual General Meeting of 8 May 2018, Fluxys Belgium proposed a gross dividend of €1.23 per share by freeing up €9.9 million of unavailable reserves.
Factoring in a profit of €33.6 million carried forward from the previous financial year and withdrawal from reserves of €51.4 million, the Board of Directors will propose to the Annual General Meeting to allocate profits as follows:
- €86.4 million as dividend payout
- €43.3 million as profit to be carried forward
The proposed allocation of profits was accepted on 8 May 2018, the total gross dividend per share for the 2017 financial year amounts to €1.23. This amount will be payable as from 17 May 2018.
