Dividend and dividend policy

Dividend policy

SAS has two share classes listed. Dividends require SAS AB to have distributable earnings and a resolution by a shareholders’ meeting. The Group’s earnings, expected performance, financial position, investment requirements and relevant economic conditions should also be taken into account. The dividend policy endeavors to achieve long-term sustainable dividends.

Common shares

Dividends to holders of common shares can be paid from value-cre­ation whereby SAS’s return on invested capital exceeds the average cost of capital. The dividend should take into account any restrictions applying to the Group’s financial instruments.

Dividend to common shareholders

The dividend in the table below refers to the total dividend paid to SAS common shareholders. Prior to 2002 the dividend refers to the former parent companies SAS Danmark A/S, SAS Norge ASA and SAS Sverige AB.
