Moneta to pay out gross dividend of CZK11.50 per share

Prague, April 21 (CTK) - The annual general meeting of Moneta Money Bank has approved that the bank will pay shareholders a dividend of CZK11.50 per share before tax, representing 90 percent of the bank's consolidated net profit for last year, bank spokeswoman Tereza Rysanova told CTK.

Last year, Moneta shareholders approved the payment of a gross dividend of CZK10 per share in the spring, followed by an additional special gross dividend of CZK4 per share in the autumn. The dividend was paid out of the bank's retained earnings.

Moneta shareholders registered with the Central Securities Depository as of April 27, 2026, will be entitled to the dividend. The bank will pay the dividend electronically on May 15.

The general meeting also approved the bank's separate and consolidated financial statements for last year and adopted a change in the remuneration policy for members of the supervisory board and the audit committee, as well as approving the report on the remuneration of members of the board of directors and the supervisory board for 2025.

The approval of a dividend of CZK11.5 per share was expected and is more of a confirmation than a surprise for the market, said BHS analyst Timur Barotov. According to him, the main positive aspect is that the bank is paying out a large portion of its profits to shareholders while, according to published information, it continues to meet capital requirements after the payout, he said.

Moneta's shares on the Prague Stock Exchange (BCPP) rose by 0.55 percent to CZK199.50 after 14:45. The current price of Moneta shares is around CZK200, bringing the dividend yield to 5.75 percent, XTB analyst Tomas Maxa told CTK. He mentioned the very strong performance of Moneta shares over the past 12 months. Excluding dividends, they have gained approximately 44 percent, which only confirms the strong performance of Czech banks in recent years, Maxa said.

Moneta Money Bank's net profit rose by 11.9 percent year-on-year to CZK6.5bn last year.

The bank's largest shareholder is the PPF financial group.
