CSR delivers strong cash generation and returns for shareholders
The CSR board announced its biggest ever final dividend (not including previous special dividends) to shareholders. This came after the company recorded a stellar performance for the year ending 31 March 2022 (YEM22).
Despite registering a 20% increase in net profit after tax (NPAT), investors hit the sell button on CSR shares. A flurry of broker downgrades were issued following concerns regarding headwinds in the housing market such as interest rates.
Nonetheless, the CSR board declared a fully franked final dividend payment of 18 cents per share. This represents a lift of 24% on the previous final dividend of 14.5 cents apiece (again, not including the added special dividend of 9.5 cents apiece).
Management stated that this brings the full year dividend to 31.5 cents per share for the YEM22.
Notably, this is at the top end of CSR's dividend policy of 60-80% of NPAT before factoring in significant items.
The record date for the final dividend falls on 30 May, with payment to eligible shareholders on 1 July 2022.
