On 6 May 2025, the Annual General Meeting of DSM-Firmenich AG adopted the proposal that a dividend per ordinary share was declared in the amount of EUR 2.50.
The dividend has been paid partially (57.5%) out of capital contributions reserves and partially (42.5%) out of available earnings.
The Board of Directors has considered that it is appropriate to propose a dividend that is outside dsm-firmenich’s policy target of between 40%-60% of the total net income, as dsm-firmenich is committed to restoring earnings per share within a reasonable time frame, and since its capital and liquidity allow for the proposed dividend payout.
In its audit report that accompanies DSM-Firmenich AG’s financial statements, KPMG confirms that the proposed payment complies with Swiss law and the Articles of Association.

Timeline payment dividend DSM-Firmenich AG
Our objective is to deliver consistent and sustainable dividends to our shareholders. To achieve this, we have adopted a ‘stable to preferably rising’ dividend policy, reflecting our commitment to long-term value creation. Under this policy, we aim to maintain a stable dividend payout per ordinary share and progressively increase dividends over time, subject to compliance with Swiss law and the relevant provisions of the Articles of Association.
The Board of Directors will propose the annual dividend amount per ordinary share which is typically announced alongside the publication of the financial results for the preceding year. The annual General Meeting of Shareholders will establish the dividend to be paid to the holders of ordinary shares.
Our dividends are subject to Swiss Witholding Tax. We intend to pay the dividend partly out of normal reserves or retained earnings (which is currently subject to 35% Witholding Tax) and partly out of the capital contribution reserves (which is currently not subject to Witholding Tax), as to be specified in the annual dividend proposals to the AGM.
Our approach is as follows.
Our ability and intention to declare and pay dividends in the future depend on several factors, including:
(i) Financial position and performance: dsm-firmenich’s financial position, results of operations, capital requirements, investment projects, distributable reserves and available liquidity.
(ii) Subsidiary contributions: As we operate through subsidiaries, associated companies, and joint ventures, distributable profits depend significantly on these entities generating and distributing earnings to dsm-firmenich.
(iii) Growth funding needs: Retaining part of our future profits to fund ongoing growth and development.
(iv) External factors: Assumptions, risks, and uncertainties, many of which are beyond dsm-firmenich’s control.
(v) Other considerations: Any additional factors deemed relevant by the Board of Directors.
