Parkin Company PJSC (“Parkin” or the “Company”), the largest provider of paid public parking facilities and services in Dubai, today announces its planned dividend payment for the first half (“H1” or “first half”) of 2024.

• As guided at IPO, the Company will distribute the higher of Net Income or Free Cash Flow to Equity.

Eng. Mohamed Al Ali, CEO of Parkin, commented:

“I am pleased to report that Parkin’s growth strategy delivered a strong first half year performance following our record-breaking IPO in March. The Company’s best-in-class operational, technological and enforcement capabilities continue to drive impressive results. I am proud of the performance that we have delivered, which is testament to the considerable efforts of the senior management team, with oversight from our experienced Board. Looking ahead, we are committed to providing attractive, sustainable returns to our shareholders. Parkin’s maiden interim dividend reflects both our strong financial performance and continued confidence in the Company’s future growth and cash generation prospects.”

Dividend Distribution

Parkin’s ability to pay dividends is dependent on several factors, including the availability of distributable reserves, capital expenditure plans and other cash requirements. Any level or payment of dividends will depend on, among other things, future profits and the Company’s business plan, at the discretion of the Board of Directors and General Assembly.
Subject to the aforementioned conditions, Parkin expects to distribute a minimum dividend payout of the higher of:

(i) 100% of Net Income; or (ii) Free Cash Flow to Equity

Distribution of a dividend is designed to reflect the Company’s expectation of strong cash flow generation and expected long-term earnings potential.

The Company intends to pay dividends semi-annually in April and October of each year.

Dividend distribution will be reviewed annually by the Board of Directors and the General Assembly, taking into account the Company’s cash management needs for operating expenses, finance costs and planned capital expenditures and investments. Additionally, the Board will consider market conditions, the current operating environment and future outlook.
