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.
The dividend of EUR 2.50 per share has been paid, in line with dsm-firmenich’s policy, partially (57.5% = EUR 1.4375) out of capital contribution reserves without deduction of any Swiss withholding tax, and partially (42.5% = EUR 1.0625) out of available earnings, with a deduction of 35% Swiss withholding tax.
The above results in an amount of EUR 0.3719 DWT paid per share to be paid on 13 June 2025 by DSM-Firmenich AG to the Swiss Federal Tax authorities, at an exchange rate of 0.9377 CHF/EUR (ECB 15 June 2025), resulting in CHF 0.3487 DWT per share.
Depending on the tax status and domicile of the beneficial owner of the dividend, the 35% Swiss withholding tax may be partially credited and/or partially reclaimed.

On 29 June 2023, the Extraordinary General Meeting of DSM-Firmenich AG adopted the proposal that a dividend per ordinary share was declared in the amount of €1.60.
The dividend was fully paid out of the Reserves from capital contributions. The dividend payment was paid without deduction of any Swiss withholding tax.
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.
