12 Mai 2022 - 10:37AM
Himax Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: HIMX) (“Himax” or “Company”), a
leading supplier and fabless manufacturer of display drivers and
other semiconductor products, today declared a cash dividend of
$1.25 per ADS, equivalent to 62.5 cents per ordinary share, for the
year of 2021.
The cash dividend will be payable on July 12,
2022 to all the shareholders of record as of June 30, 2022. The ADS
book will be closed for issuance and cancellation from June 23,
2022 to June 30, 2022. Typically, Himax pays out its yearly
dividend at approximately the middle of its current calendar year
based on the Company's previous year financial performance.
“Since our IPO in 2006, we have remained
committed to a dividend policy to reward shareholders for their
ongoing commitment,” said Mr. Jordan Wu, President and Chief
Executive Officer of Himax Technologies, Inc. “Based on our record
2021 profit, we are pleased to announce the annual cash dividend of
$1.25 per ADS. The payout ratio is 50% of net profit of last year,
which is lower than our average payout ratio historically. The
relatively low payout ratio reflects our decision to reserve
sufficient working capital in the light of macroeconomic
uncertainty and to facilitate our anticipated growth for the next
few years. We are grateful for the continued support of our
shareholders as we continue to execute on our business objectives
and strive to deliver sustainable long-term growth.”
