Interim dividend of 14.50p, in line with AMP7 dividend policy

The interim dividends for the six months ended 30 September 2021 and 30 September 2020, and the final dividend for the year ended 31 March 2021, have not been included as liabilities in the respective condensed consolidated financial statements at 30 September 2021 and 30 September 2020, and the consolidated financial statements at 31 March 2021, because they were approved after the reporting date.

The interim dividend of 14.50 pence per ordinary share (2020: interim dividend of 14.41 pence per ordinary share, final dividend of 28.40 pence per ordinary share) is expected to be paid on 1 February 2022 to shareholders on the register at the close of business on 17 December 2021. The ex-dividend date for the interim dividend is 16 December 2021.

Making around 2.3% pa dividend growth for five years. I'd be interested to see how this varies against inflation over the next five years or so.

Me too Arb, thanks for your input. UU. are my water utility of choice held in my HYP. Very happy to hold, but have no plans to top up my UU. holdings currently.

Not just UU.

It will be interesting to see how other HYP companies react to rising inflation.

Will we see dividend rises of 4%+ more widely next year?

Somehow I doubt it!
