On 3 February 2025, BNP Paribas’ Board of Directors, chaired by Jean Lemierre, approved the principle of a semi-annual interim dividend starting in the 2025 financial year, which would be paid out in late September.
Each interim dividend will amount to 50% of the net earnings per share of the first half-year, in accordance with BNP Paribas’ cash payout distribution policy.
The first interim dividend related to the 2025 financial statements would be paid on 30 September 2025 and calculated on the basis of 50% of the net earnings per share of the first half of 2025.
As a result of the introduction of a semi-annual interim dividend payment, the return to the shareholder in 2025 will comprise:
(i) the full dividend paid out in cash on 2024 earnings, subject to approval by the General Meeting of shareholders planned on 13 May 2025;
(ii) the share buyback programme set out in the Group distribution policy for the 2024 financial year subject to the usual conditions, including European Central Bank authorisation; and
(iii) the interim dividend on 2025 financial year, which would be decided by the Board of Directors in an amount calculated and paid based on the aforementioned description.
