Next Premier Miton Group Dividend

Premier Miton Group next goes ex-dividend on 15/01/2026. This will be the Final dividend for 2026.

The dividend per share amount is 3.0000p (GBP) and the payment date is 13/02/2026.

Declared dividend and timetable

Final dividend: 3.0p per share (unchanged year-on-year)
Total FY25 dividend: 6.0p per share (unchanged)
Payment date: 13/02/2026
Record date: 16/01/2026
Ex-dividend date: 15/01/2026 (derived as one business day before record date)
Coverage: payout equals 109% of adjusted EPS (5.5p), i.e., marginally uncovered by adjusted earnings; statutory EPS 0.78p is far below the dividend

Financial support and coverage

Adjusted PBT: £11.5m (down 6%); statutory PBT: £2.4m
Operating cash flow FY25: £6.9m vs dividends paid £9.4m (cash dividends exceed operating cash generation)
Year-end cash: £31.3m; no external debt
Regulatory capital surplus post foreseeable dividend: £11.4m (down from £15.5m)
EBT holds 3.5% of shares with dividend waivers, modestly reducing cash outflow on dividends

Management commentary on policy

Maintaining a “pragmatic” dividend approach; FY25 dividend kept at 6.0p despite marginal lack of adjusted earnings cover
Rationale: confidence in medium-term outlook, strong balance sheet, and desire to sustain market confidence while pursuing strategic M&A

Analysis: sustainability and growth trajectory

Sustainability: The dividend is not covered by adjusted earnings (109% payout) and not covered by operating cash flow in FY25. Coverage relies on cash reserves, ongoing cost savings (£5m annual run-rate identified, with £3m delivered) and stabilisation of flows.
Earnings outlook: Net outflows of £618m and further outflows into early FY26 pressure management fees; fee margin fell to 56.7bps. Unless flows improve or costs fall further, dividend cover may remain tight.
Growth: Dividend held flat at 6.0p. Near-term growth appears unlikely given uncovered payout and reduced capital surplus; maintenance is the best case unless AuM/fees recover.
Balance sheet: £31.3m cash and no debt provide flexibility, but capital surplus has declined and management is signalling inorganic growth ambitions—potential claims on cash.

Structural changes and capital allocation signals

M&A/inorganic focus: Continued exploration of strategic transactions to add scale/capabilities/client segments; proven track record but execution/timing uncertain.
Tellworth acquisition: Additional consideration paid in FY25; 1.2m new shares issued in March 2025 (minor dilution). Further integration cost savings highlighted.
Leadership: New Chair (Christopher Williams) to succeed at AGM in February 2026, bringing corporate finance/M&A experience—consistent with inorganic strategy.
Operating efficiencies: Additional £2m annualised savings targeted by Sept 2026 to support profitability and cash generation.

Risks and flags to dividend stability

Uncovered dividend: 109% of adjusted EPS and not covered by operating cash flow—raises risk of future rebasing if trading does not improve.
AuM and flow risk: Net outflows and pressure in US/European equity strategies continue into the new year; revenue sensitivity to AuM remains high.
Margin pressure: Net management fee margin down to 56.7bps; mix shift toward lower-fee strategies could weigh on revenue.
Capital allocation: Pursuit of M&A may compete with dividends for capital if opportunities arise; regulatory capital surplus has fallen to £11.4m.
Market dependence: Heavy UK exposure and AIM listing dynamics add external risk to flows and valuation.
