Last year the DFS Furniture Board took the decision not to recommend the payment of a dividend in order to support the Group's financial resilience.

DFS Furniture announce a maintained interim dividend of 3.7p declared
The Board remains confident in the Group's outlook. While they continue to operate outside their targeted dividend payout of 40-50% of underlying cash generation, based upon the Group's outlook, they are comfortable maintaining the interim dividend at 3.7 pence. As stated in their published Capital and Distribution Policy, should the outlook worsen and underlying cash flow generation not cover the current level of ordinary dividends, they would if necessary reduce or halt dividends. However, they expect profit and cash generation growth which should enable them to return to the targeted payout range in the foreseeable future.
DFS Furniture announce a maintain dividend of 7.5p
The DFS Furniture Board has carefully considered the balance between regular dividends supported by the performance, expectations and capital needs of the Group and the return of capital where there is a surplus. They anticipate that value created over time will be delivered to shareholders through a combination of capital growth and dividends.
