Dividend

2024

Without dividend (allocated to reserve capital)*

*The justification for the resolution of the AGM held on June 26, 2025 - Taking into account the current financial situation and liquidity of Cyfrowy Polsat S.A. Capital Group and existing and future liabilities, in the opinion of the Management Board it is recommended to allocate the Company's net profit for the financial year 2024 amounting to PLN 405,839,754.30 in full to the reserve capital. 
In the above recommendation, the Management Board took into account the level of the Company’s net debt to EBITDA LTM ratio (excluding project financing), which for the last reported period exceeded the level of 3.5x allowing for dividend payout. The elevated level of the net debt to EBITDA LTM ratio is due to continued high interest rates throughout 2024 and, consequently, high debt service costs and inflationary pressure. 
In parallel, as part of its Strategy 2023+ the Company is consistently pursuing strategic investments in the area of renewable energy sources, aimed at continuing the development of the Company's capital group over the long term in accordance with the overarching strategic objective of sustainably growing the Company's value for its shareholders.

2023

Without dividend (allocated to reserve capital)*

*The justification for the resolution of the AGM held on June 29, 2024 - In the opinion of the Management Board of the Company, the proposed allocation of profit in its entirety to reserve capital and the lack of a recommendation for dividend payment is dictated by the ongoing capital-intensive, strategic investments implemented by the Company as part of its Strategy 2023+, aimed at continuing the development of the Company's capital group over the long term in accordance with the overarching strategic objective of sustainably growing the Company's value for its shareholders. In particular, the funds retained by the Company will be used for the timely implementation of the currently ongoing green energy projects, which, among others, include the construction of wind farms. As a result of the implementation of the aforementioned projects, the Company's capital group will reach an installed capacity in renewable energy sources in 2026, which will enable the production of up to 2 TWh of clean energy per year. According to the Company's estimates, the execution of strategic assumptions will translate into incremental recurring EBITDA at the consolidated level of ca. PLN 500-600 million per year. At the same time, in deciding not to pay a dividend, the Management Board took into account the Company's net debt ratio, which remains at an elevated level due to, among others, the financing of strategic investments, as well as the unfavorable macroeconomic environment, in particular high inflationary pressure and persistently high interest rates translating into high debt service costs for the Company.
