ALS Limited Locks Dividend at 19.4 Cents and DRP Price at $21.97 – What’s Next?

Dividend Details Confirmed

ALS Limited (ASX – ALQ), a key player in industrial testing and inspection services, has updated its dividend announcement for the six-month period ending 30 September 2025. The company will pay an ordinary dividend of 19.4 cents per share, with 30% of this amount franked, reflecting the company’s ongoing commitment to delivering shareholder returns while managing its tax position effectively.

The dividend will be paid on 17 December 2025 to shareholders registered as of 27 November 2025. Payments will be made in cash and directly credited to shareholders’ nominated bank accounts, ensuring a smooth and efficient distribution process.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP) Pricing and Participation

ALS Limited has also finalized the Dividend Reinvestment Plan price at AUD 21.97 per share, calculated as the five-day volume weighted average price following the DRP election date. Notably, no discount will be applied to this price, signaling confidence in the company’s share valuation.

The DRP is fully available for this dividend, allowing shareholders to reinvest their dividends into new shares rather than receiving cash. However, participation is restricted to shareholders with registered addresses in Australia and New Zealand, which may limit uptake among international investors.

Multi-Currency Dividend Payments

Recognizing its diverse shareholder base, ALS Limited will pay dividends in multiple currencies depending on the shareholder’s jurisdiction. This includes Australian dollars, US dollars, euros, British pounds, Hong Kong dollars, New Zealand dollars, and Singapore dollars. Shareholders can also elect to receive payments in a currency different from the default arrangement, providing flexibility and convenience.

The exchange rates for non-primary currency payments will be determined on the dividend payment date, introducing some variability in the final amount received by foreign investors.

Tax and Regulatory Compliance

The dividend is partially franked at 30%, with the remainder classified as conduit foreign income. ALS Limited has confirmed that no external approvals were required to proceed with this dividend payment, underscoring the routine nature of this distribution within the company’s financial calendar.

Further tax component details will be available in the company’s interim financial report, providing investors with comprehensive information to assess the after-tax value of their dividends.
