The Character Group Board remains committed to maintaining a progressive dividend policy. The Board is declaring an interim dividend of 8.0p per share (HY 2022: 7.0p; final dividend 2022: 10.0p). Although this is not supported by earnings cover (HY 2022 3.6 times), it reflects the Board's confidence in the Group's prospects for a second half recovery and performance beyond the current financial year.
