In view of our strategic priorities and expected capital allocation for the coming three years (2019-2021), we are proposing to increase the total dividend per share for financial year 2018 by 15%. We will therefore recommend a final dividend of €0.64 per share which will bring the total dividend to €0.98 per share (2017: €0.85). The 2018 dividend proposal is subject to approval by the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders in April 2019.

Progressive dividend policy
Wolters Kluwer has a progressive dividend policy under which the company aims to increase the dividend per share each year. The dividend pay-out ratio will therefore vary from year to year. The annual increase is dependent on our financial performance, market conditions, and our need for financial flexibility. Our dividend policy takes into consideration the nature of our business and our expectations for future cash flow and investment needs.
