CoinShares Announces Q4 2023 Results - Seite 2

Principal Investments: Recovery in Q4 with strategic divestments in 3iQ and SBG, generating liquidity for reinvestment.

Overall strong performance with Adjusted EBITDA of £25.7 million for Q4, full-year figure at £56.9 million.

Dividend policy

The board of directors has adopted an amended dividend policy. While we remain committed to growth, we also wish to reward our shareholders for their trust and support.

The policy stipulates that the annual dividend payment will be between 20% and 40% of the Group’s annual total comprehensive income, excluding currency translation differences.

The annual dividend payment will be made payable in SEK in four quarterly instalments via the Euroclear Sweden settlement system, subject to an assessment by the Board of the financial health and cash requirements of the Group prior to each payment being made.

CoinShares maintains a variety of strong banking relationships globally, however the ability to pay a dividend remains subject to the successful establishment of the requisite Swedish banking relationship to facilitate payment through Euroclear. A further update will be made in due course.

Concluding remarks

The performance for Q4 marks the Group’s strongest quarter since the end of 2021 and has contributed to 2023 being the second strongest year in the Group’s history after 2021. Full details of the Q4 results, inclusive of financial information on each of the Group’s business units, are included within the full report, available here.

The Annual Report for the Group, inclusive of full audited financials is due to be released on 30^th April 2024.
