Endeavour Group Declares AUD 0.012 Dividend with NZD Payment Option

Dividend Payment and Franking Details

Endeavour Group Limited (ASX:EDV) has updated its dividend announcement for the six-month period ending 28 June 2026, confirming an ordinary fully franked dividend of AUD 0.012 per share. The dividend is scheduled for payment on 1 October 2026, with the record date set for 2 September 2026 and the ex-date on 1 September 2026. The dividend carries a full franking credit at the prevailing corporate tax rate of 30%, ensuring shareholders receive the benefit of imputation credits.

Currency Options Expand for Shareholders

In a move that caters to its trans-Tasman shareholder base, Endeavour Group will pay dividends primarily in Australian dollars (AUD), but New Zealand shareholders with registered NZ bank accounts as at the record date will receive their dividends in New Zealand dollars (NZD). The NZD payment per share is set at NZD 0.01467, based on an exchange rate of 1.2225. This dual-currency arrangement reflects an effort to streamline payments and reduce currency conversion friction for investors.

Shareholders are not locked into the default currency linked to their bank account; they can opt to receive dividends in either AUD or NZD depending on their preference, provided their bank account details are updated by 5pm on 2 September 2026. This flexibility allows investors to manage currency exposure according to their individual circumstances.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan Remains in Place

Endeavour Group continues to offer a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP) which applies to this dividend payment. The DRP provides shareholders with an option to reinvest their dividends into additional shares, potentially compounding their investment. No changes were announced to the DRP terms, maintaining continuity for investors who prefer this method of dividend utilisation.

Shareholder Actions and Administration

Shareholders wishing to update their payment instructions or bank account details must contact Endeavour’s share registry, MUFG Corporate Markets (AU) Limited, by the specified deadline. The company provides multiple channels for communication, including an online portal, telephone, and email, ensuring accessibility for all investors. This administrative clarity supports a smooth dividend distribution process across jurisdictions.

While the dividend update itself is procedural, it arrives shortly after Endeavour Group reported a mixed financial performance marked by modest sales growth and profit pressures from significant items. This dividend payment, fully franked and with currency options, offers some reassurance of ongoing shareholder returns amid operational challenges.
