Shareholders’ Meeting 2025

The Shareholders’ Meeting of Arnoldo Mondadori Editore S.p.A., chaired by Marina Berlusconi on 16 April 2025, approved the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024.

The results of the draft annual financial statements and consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2024, presented by the CEO, Antonio Porro, and approved by the Board of Directors on 12 March, were disclosed to the market on the same date.
The Parent Company’s income statement at 31 December 2024 recorded the same net profit as in the consolidated financial statements of € 60.2 million, due to the fact that the Company has chosen to use the equity method to measure its investments in the separate financial statements.

In accordance with the proposal put forward by the Board of Directors, which was the subject of a notice issued on 12 March, the Shareholders’ Meeting approved the distribution of a dividend of € 0.14, gross of withholding taxes, per ordinary share (net of treasury shares) outstanding at the following record dates.

The total dividend amounted to approximately € 36.5 million, up by 17% compared to the previous year: this amount corresponds to a pay-out of 60% of the net profit for 2024 and a dividend yield of almost 7% compared to the share price at 31 December 2024.
In accordance with the resolutions adopted by the Shareholders’ Meeting, the dividend will be paid by drawing on the distributable portion of the extraordinary reserve (included in the equity item “Other reserves profit/loss carried forward”).

The dividend, as already announced, will be paid in two equal tranches:

  • unit amount of € 0.07 for each ordinary share (net of treasury shares) outstanding at the record date stated below, from 21 May 2025 (payment date), with ex-dividend date no. 25 on 19 May 2025 (ex date) and with the date of entitlement to payment of the dividend, pursuant to Article 83-terdecies of the TUF (record date), on 20 May 2025;
