Dividend Policy

The Nemetschek AG is a significantly profitable company for years that enables its shareholders to share directly in its success. In 2008 the company had cancelled the dividend payout for the first time in four years in order to accelerate the loan repayment and strengthen the company’s equity in the face of the economic crisis. As the Nemetschek Group overcame the consequences of the global economic crisis well and raised equity ratio to 50 percent, resumption of dividend payout started again in 2009.

With the record earnings of 2010 in mind, the managing board and supervisory board have decided to propose doubling the dividend to 1.00 euro at the annual general meeting in May 2011. Based on the final share price for the year 2010, this corresponds to a dividend yield of 3,1 percent.
