Dividend update

19 March 2020
Â
Kingspan Group plc, the global leader in high performance insulation and building envelope solutions, provides the following update.
Â
Since Kingspan's preliminary results announcement on 21 February 2020 the global trading environment has significantly changed due to the unprecedented challenges presented by COVID 19.
Â
In light of this, we have today decided to withdraw the proposal at the Company's forthcoming AGM for a final dividend of 33.5c per share, in respect of the financial year to 31 December 2019. The Group has in excess of €1 billion in aggregate of cash balances on hand and committed undrawn bank facilities and maintains its strong balance sheet.
We are in a rapidly evolving trading environment and Kingspan will issue its next trading update on 30 April 2020 in advance of the AGM.
