Further reinforcing its commitment to deliver consistent value through a progressive dividend policy announced last year for its shareholders, e&, the UAE-owned telecommunications company, has announced to pay a cash dividend of $0.23 per share for the fiscal year 2024.

He said that e& delivered record consolidated revenues of $16.12 billion growing 10.1%, driven by growth across all business verticals, and record net profit of $2.94 billion, growing 4.3% in 2024.

These achievements were underpinned by key strategic decisions made by the Board, including progressing on geographic expansion and revenue diversification and scaling up digital verticals. These measures have not only reinforced our financial resilience but also positioned e& to capitalise on new opportunities while ensuring sustainable long-term value for our stakeholders, he said.
He added: “As we look to the future, e& is committed to growth and transformation across 38 countries in the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and Central and Eastern Europe.
