A dividend of 0.35p (US0.45c) per share for the financial year ended June 30, 2018, was approved by an overwhelming majority at the company's annual general meeting on November 23.

It will be paid out on November 30 to shareholders on the register on October 19.

The company previously reported a net profit of US$11 million for the financial year, up 24% year-on-year, with group EBITDA also up 21% to $22.2 million and revenue 11% higher at $57.3 million.

Sylvania also undertook a share buyback programme during 2018 and by the time the programme closed at the end of August, it had purchased 2.4 million ordinary shares, or 57% of the shares on offer, from non-UK-based shareholders at A16.19c (US11.76c) each.

At the end of the buyback programme, the company had 291.1 million ordinary shares, of which 5 million were held in treasury and 286.2 million had voting rights.

Sylvania's shares were up 1.41% Monday to 18p.
