Quote:

Since our interim results in August (2023), we changed our dividend approach. In the past we had a small interim and a substantial final dividend. We are trying to have a more consistent dividend between interim and final," says Ronnie Tan, GEH's group CFO.

"But, whatever dividend we declare, we will try to maintain it for the next year. Since we declared 40 cents per share as our final dividend, for our interim dividend for 2024, we will declare 40 cents; 40 cents is our new base, barring unforeseen circumstances,” adds Tan, speaking at the results briefing on Feb 26.

Total weighted new sales (TWNS) fell by 12% y-o-y in FY2023 to $1,659.4 million due to lower single premium sales from the Singapore market. New business embedded value (NBEV) fell 11% y-o-y to $762.1 million mainly due to lower sales. NBEV is a measure of the long-term profitability of new sales. 

Pls dyodd.
