Based on these results, the Board of Directors has declared a final dividend of $3.85 per share, bringing the total dividend to $6.00 per share for the fiscal year (2024: $5.70), an increase of 5.3% or $0.30, over the previous year. With a closing share price of $106.62, this equates to a dividend yield of 5.63% (2024: 5.09%) and a total annual dividend payment of $983 million (2024: $933 million). The final dividend will be paid on December 5, 2025, to shareholders on record as of November 21, 2025.

Mr. Pereira added, “RFHL’s capital and liquidity positions remain robust, providing a solid foundation for continued growth and innovation, and our capital adequacy ratios remain robust across all sixteen countries where we operate and at the consolidated level.”

He went on to say, “Throughout the year, we continued to execute on our strategic priorities, enhancing customer experience, accelerating digital transformation, and embedding sustainability and good governance at the core of our operations. We also recognise that our success is really measured by the positive impact we create in the communities we serve. Through our social investment programs and partnerships, we continued to support national communities, youth development, and small business growth, helping to build more inclusive and resilient economies everywhere we operate.”

“Looking ahead”, Mr. Pereira noted, “While global uncertainties and market volatility will persist, we remain confident in our ability to navigate change and seize new opportunities. Our strategic focus remains clear; to deliver sustainable value to our shareholders, provide exceptional service to our customers, and foster a culture of integrity, innovation, and inclusion across the organization.”
