Dividends

Covestro intends its shareholders to participate appropriately in the company's success. To this end, the company has formulated a new dividend policy, valid since the financial year 2020: Between 35% and 55% of the net income is to be distributed as a dividend.

Due to the considerable rise in energy prices and weak demand as a consequence of the global economic slowdown all cash-generating units were subjected to an impairment test in the reporting year. Impairment tests led to the recognition of impairment losses on some items of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. Impairment losses recognized in the fiscal year totaled €463 million. Other factors included impairment losses on, or the non-recognition of, deferred tax assets on tax loss carryforwards in an amount of €255 million. The above effects were a major driver of the Group’s net loss in the reporting year. Under the dividend policy this means that no dividend will be distributed for the reporting year 2022.

Paying agent pursuant section 48 (1) nr. 4 German Security Trading Act ‏(WpHG) is Deutsche Bank AG, Frankfurt am Main.
