For the year ended 30 September 2022, CIM Financial Services Ltd’s bottom line result amounted to MUR 601.3M. Whilst the Group continued to support its most affected customers with rescheduling options, progress on collection side remained steady for the year. The allowance for credit impairment on our financial assets were more or less at similar levels to prior year. The Group continues to leverage on its funding plan to maintain a sound and liquid position during these volatile times.

Dividend
The Board has declared a final dividend of MUR 0.24 per share payable in respect of all the ordinary shares of the Company which will be payable to the shareholders of the Company registered at close of business on 12 January 2023. The payment of this dividend will take place on or about 27 January 2023.

The shares of the Company will be traded cum-dividend on the Stock Exchange up to the market date of 09 January 2023 and ex-dividend as from 10 January 2023.

Outlook
Given the high inflationary pressures being felt both locally and abroad and the slow economic recovery, the Board will continue to exercise prudence in managing its assets and expects the performance of the Group for the next financial year to remain volatile.
