Returning cash to the shareholders in line with the dividend policy

NORBIT ASA's objective is to provide shareholders with a longterm competitive return through an increase in the share price and payment of dividends.
The dividend policy is to pay out annual ordinary dividends between 30 and 50 per cent of the company's net profit after tax, with the intention to pay out potential excess capital as extraordinary dividends.
When proposing the total dividend payment, the board of directors will take into account the company's financial position, investment plans, any restrictions by law, as well as the needed financial flexibility to provide for sustainable growth.
To that end, the company has set long-term financial targets relating to its capital structure to have a NIBD/EBITDA ratio between 1.0 – 2.5x.
