At BlueScope, the way we work is as important as the work we do. We have a number of priority areas that we focus on within our ethics and governance framework. You can find some of our policies provided here.
A key element of BlueScope’s Financial Framework is to maintain strong financial capacity, so we can robustly weather industry and economic cycles and deliver on opportunities to build value and deliver returns to shareholders.
Our capital management framework operates a returns-focussed process with disciplined competition for capital, balancing shareholder returns and long-term profitable growth, while seeking to retain strong credit metrics, and a resilient balance sheet.
Given this approach, and in line with Our Financial Framework, our current policy is to distribute at least 50% of free cash flow to shareholders as consistent dividends and buy-backs.
We seek to use on-market share buy-backs to supplement paying consistent dividends. Buy-backs are attractive given their flexibility in managing capital and for the contribution they can deliver to Earnings Per Share. The timing and value of shares purchased will depend on factors such as the prevailing market conditions and share price.
More information on our latest buy-back program is available in our financial results announcements.
The BlueScope Steel Limited Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP) is not active.
Since August 2021 it has been the Board’s intention to target annual ordinary dividends of 50 cents per share per annum, that is 25 cents per share per half year. The annual dividend per share paid is subject to the Company’s financial performance, business conditions, growth opportunities, capex and working capital requirements and the determination of the Board determination at the relevant time.
