Lords Group Trading plc announced that the Board is recommending a final dividend of 1.33 pence per share, to give a total dividend in respect of the year of 2.0 pence per share, unchanged on FY22. While the Group's profits were lower in FY23, the total dividend is 2.2 times covered by adjusted earnings per share and the Board concluded it was appropriate to maintain the level of payout. This reflects confidence in the future growth of the business, its inherent resilience and commitment to a progressive dividend.

Subject to Shareholder approval at the Annual General Meeting ("AGM"), the Final Dividend will be paid on 28 June 2024, with a record date of 24 May 2024 and an ex-dividend date of 23 May 2024.
