Dividend Policy
Capital Allocation Policy Aptitude aims to deliver high returns to shareholders through targeting sustainable profit growth and strong free cash flow. The Group invests in developing its business driven by the opportunity with Fynapse, while maintaining robust liquidity to manage the working capital cycle. Aptitude's capital allocation priorities are as follows: • Managing working capital – The priority of the Group is to maintain sufficient cash reserves to manage the annual working capital cycle, while maintaining appropriate levels of net funds. A level of net cash not less than 1.5 x adjusted EBITDA is the Group's stated minimum. • Investment for organic growth – The Group continues to invest in the organic growth of the business, including the need to continue to invest in our people and technology and through capital expenditure where required. • Maintenance of the Group's dividend – The Group is committed to provide dividends to shareholders, and this remains the preferred ongoing method to return cash to shareholders without impacting on the investment required to grow the business. • Enhanced returns to shareholders – As the Group continues to generate excess cash after the above priorities, the Group will look to make enhanced returns to shareholders, including through the existing share buy back programme. While the above framework is intended to guide decision making for the allocation of capital, the Board may choose to exercise discretion in its application should there be a business requirement.
