TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Astra International (IDX: ASII) is paying out a dividend of Rp7.16 trillion. The company's general meeting of shareholders agreed to distribute its 2015 net profit by Rp177 per share.
"The dividend will be calculated with an interim dividend of Rp64 per share that was paid on October 21, 2015. The remaining amount Rp113 per share will be paid on May 27, 2016," president director Prijono Sugiarto said in Jakarta, Wednesday, April 27.
In 2015, Astra International booked a net profit of Rp14.46 trillion. The figure represents a 25-percent decline from 2014's net profit of Rp19.19 trillion.
Prijono said that the company will allocate Rp7.29 trillion to be recorded as retained earnings.
To support this year's business activities, Prijono said Astra is allocating Rp13.7 trillion for the company's capital expenditure. This year's capex is higher than in 2015, which was Rp10 trillion.
"Most of our capex was sourced from internal cash; part of it was obtained from loans," Prijono said.
