Dividend policy
Detection Technology’s objective is to regularly pay dividend or returned capital to shareholders. The level of the paid dividends or capital returns and the date of payment are affected, inter alia, by the company’s and group’s result, financial position, need for capital and other possible factors. The aim is to distribute approximately 30% to 60% of the group’s annual result (earnings per share) to shareholders either in the form of dividend or returned capital.
