The Board of Cello Health plc announced that it is proposing a final dividend increase of 12.2% to 2.75 pence per share compared to 2.45 pence per share a year ago, giving a total dividend of 3.85 pence compared to 3.50 pence per share a year ago, representing a total increase of 10.0%. This increase in the dividend reflects the growth in headline earnings per share, the strength of the balance sheet of the Group, the lower than expected future headline tax rates and the Board's confidence in the ongoing trading performance of the business. This increase maintains the Group's thirteenth year unbroken record of dividend growth. Subject to shareholder approval, the final dividend will be paid on 24 May 2019 to all shareholders on the register at 26 April 2019, and will be recognised in the year ending 31 December 2019.
