Talabat Holding, a leading online ordering and delivery platform in the MENA region, announced that its Board of Directors has approved an interim dividend of 3.188 fils per share, amounting to around $202 million.
The declared interim dividend corresponds to a 90% payout ratio of reported net income for the first half of 2025 and delivers an annualised dividend yield of over 5.4%, based on the most recent closing share price.
According to Talabat’s management, the Company remains on track to distribute no less than $400 million in total dividends for the full year 2025, consistent with its earlier guidance.
Although the minimum dividend has been set, management aims to propose maintaining a 90% payout ratio for the entire year, pending approval from the Board and shareholders at the 2026 Annual General Meeting.
Tomaso Rodriguez, Chief Executive Officer of Talabat, stated: “We remain confident in our ability to achieve or surpass our full-year dividend guidance.”
He further added: “The interim dividend announcement reflects the strength of our business model and our commitment to rewarding shareholders. With our asset-light structure and strong cash flows, we can return a significant share of earnings to investors while maintaining financial flexibility to support growth.”
