Dividends/Special Distributions

Brambles has a “progressive” dividend policy. Under this policy, the Group seeks to maintain or increase dividends per share each year, in Australian cents, subject to its financial performance and cash requirements.

As from FY20 interim dividend, Brambles moved to a payout ratio based dividend policy, targeting a payout ratio of 45-60% of Underlying Profit after finance costs and tax, subject to Brambles' cash requirements, with the dividend per share declared in US cents and converted and paid in Australian cents.

ATO Class Ruling
Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP)

Brambles’ Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP) enables shareholders whose registered address is in Australia or New Zealand to apply some or all of their future dividends to the purchase or ordinary Brambles shares rather than receiving cash. As all brokerage and associated costs are paid by Brambles, the DRP provides a cost-effective means for shareholders to increase their ownership in Brambles.

Under the DRP, the date for electing to participate in the DRP as it applies to a dividend payment is 5.00pm (Sydney time) on the first business day after the record date for a dividend. If a shareholder wishes to terminate or reduce their participation in the DRP in advance of a dividend payment, the deadline for returning a DRP Variation or Termination form to Brambles' Share Registry is also normally 5.00pm (Sydney time) on the first business day after the record date for that dividend, unless the Brambles Board determines that there will be a later withdrawal date.

A summary booklet of the DRP, the DRP rules and a multi-purpose DRP application/variation/termination form can be downloaded below:
