Higher Returns for Shareholders

The stronger cash position enabled Evolution to increase distributions to shareholders. The company announced a fully franked final dividend of 21 cents per share, representing a 62% increase from the prior year and lifting the total FY26 dividend to 41 cents per share, up 105%. It also revised its dividend policy to target a payout of around 60% of annual group cash flow.

Evolution is also advancing several high-return projects across Cowal, Northparkes and Ernest Henry. These initiatives include the E22 block cave, coarse particle flotation, E48 SLC, OPC and the Bert deposit, providing additional avenues for production and value creation.
