Deutsche Telekom's dividend policy
Deutsche Telekom offers its shareholders a high dividend yield and has been a member of the DivDAX since 2005, an index that includes the 15 DAX stocks with the highest dividend yields. A dividend of EUR 0.90 per share is proposed for the 2024 financial year, provided this is approved by the general meeting and there are no other legal obstacles. This distribution is scheduled to take place after the general meeting in April 2025 and is tax-free for shareholders in Germany. The board also plans to buy back shares worth up to EUR 2 billion in 2024 to offset the dilutive effect of a capital increase in 2021, and announced a further share buyback of up to EUR 2 billion for 2025.
Deutsche Telekom's dividend policy calls for paying out 40 to 60 percent of adjusted sustainable earnings per share (EPS) annually. Analysts forecast the following dividends and EPS for the coming years: for the fourth quarter of 2024, an EPS of EUR 0.45 with a dividend of EUR 0.90 is expected, for the full year 2025 an EPS of EUR 1.87 with a dividend of EUR 1.00 is forecast, and for 2026 there are EUR 2.10 EPS and a EUR 1.13 dividend. These dividend payments are paid out from the tax contribution account in accordance with Section 27 of the Corporation Tax Act without deduction of capital gains tax or solidarity surcharge. For the 2023 financial year, the dividend was EUR 0.77 per share, which corresponds to 48 percent of the adjusted EPS of EUR 1.60.
