ARADEL HOLDINGS PLEDGES IMPROVED DIVIDENDS FOR 2024

Aradel Holdings Plc has reassured its shareholders of better dividends for 2024, following its recent listing on the Nigerian Exchange (NGX). During the company's "Facts Behind the Listing" event, CEO Adegbite Falade addressed concerns about interim dividends, indicating that Aradel might issue them again this year, as it did in 2023 when it paid an interim dividend of NGN 30. He emphasized the company’s strong financial performance, promising an even more substantial final dividend at the end of the year.

Aradel's commitment to higher payouts is driven by a board-approved dividend policy, designed to enhance shareholder value based on various performance metrics. This policy previously led to an impressive full-year dividend of NGN 200 in 2023. Chairman Ladi Jadesimi also highlighted Aradel's growth ambitions in renewable energy while maintaining leadership in oil and gas.

This move comes amid a trend in Nigeria’s capital market, where more companies are offering interim dividends to reward investors earlier in the financial year.

Key Highlights:
- Likely interim dividends in 2024, following a similar payout in 2023.
- Strong profits anticipated, supporting robust final dividend payments.
Aradel aims to expand in renewable energy while maintaining its oil and gas foothold.
Aradel’s strategic listing and performance signal promising growth for shareholders, with a focus on long-term sustainability and value creation in Nigeria's energy sector.
