FAQ

  • Our finance strategy calls for paying out 40% to 60% of net profits as dividends as a general rule. The AGM approved a dividend of €1.90 per share for the 2025 financial year (previous year: €1.85). The dividend was disbursed on May 8, 2026.

  • The fiscal year 2025 dividend of EUR 1.90 per no-par value share carrying dividend rights will generally be disbursed by the custodian banks less 25% capital gains tax (investment income tax) and 5.5% solidarity surcharge on the capital gains tax (total of 26.375%) and, if applicable, church tax on the capital gains tax.

    Capital gains tax and the solidarity surcharge will not be deducted for shareholders domiciled in Germany who have submitted a “non-assessment certificate” (Nichtveranlagungs-Bescheinigung) from the relevant tax office to their custodian bank; this also applies in cases where an “exemption order” (Freistellungsauftrag) has been issued to the extent that the amount eligible for exemption has not been exhausted by other income from capital assets.

    Shareholders domiciled abroad will be subject to the tax law of their individual countries of residence. The capital gains tax withheld may be reduced in accordance with existing double-taxation agreements between the Federal Republic of Germany and the relevant country.

    The dividend was paid to shareholders by their custodian banks via Clearstream Europe AG beginning May 8, 2026. The paying agent is Deutsche Bank AG, Frankfurt am Main.

  • The dividend will be paid on the basis of legal requirements three working days after the AGM. Deutsche Post AG’s AGM took place on May 5, 2026. The dividend was paid on May 8, 2026.
