OLDENBURG (dpa-AFX) - The photo service provider Cewe intends to increase its dividend for the 2023 financial year. Cewe Stiftung & Co KGaA announced in Oldenburg on Monday that 2.60 euros per share will be distributed, compared to 2.45 euros in the previous year. This is slightly less than analysts surveyed by Bloomberg had expected on average. The company had already presented preliminary business figures in February.

According to these figures, turnover rose by 6.5 percent to 780.2 million euros and earnings before interest and taxes by 11 percent to 83.9 million euros. The figures no longer include Futalis, which was sold in December. The final figures are to be published on March 22./nas/mis
