Fluidra, a global leader in equipment and connected solutions in the pool and wellness sector, agreed at its Board of Directors to propose to the General Shareholders’ Meeting the distribution of a €0.65 dividend per share charged to 2025 results. This proposal represents a payout of approximately 50% of adjusted net income, in line with the company’s dividend policy and capital allocation framework.
The total payout, subject to approval at the General Shareholders’ Meeting to be held on May 6, 2026, would amount to roughly €125 million. If approved, Fluidra would make a first payment of €0.32 per share on July 14 and a second payment of €0.33 per share on December 10, 2026.
“In 2025 we once again demonstrated the strength of our business, delivering growth ahead of the market and making solid progress on our strategic priorities, all in a dynamic environment. I want to thank all Fluidra teams for their commitment and dedication. We remain focused on executing our strategy and investing to reinforce the business for the long term, while continuing to enhance returns. Our priorities are clear: accelerate growth, strengthen our competitive differentiation, and reinforce operational excellence,” said Eloi Planes, Fluidra’s Executive Chairman.
Appointment of new Board members
The Board of Directors has also proposed ratifying the appointment by co‑option of Allison Steiner, who joined the Board in February 2026 as a proprietary director, and additionally appointing Stephen Kaniewski as a new independent director. Both appointments will be submitted for approval at the General Shareholders’ Meeting on May 6.
Fluidra thus maintains its Board at 14 members, with the aim of ensuring broad representation of perspectives and interests, and fostering diversity in gender, nationality, country of origin, cultural background, professional experience, and knowledge, in accordance with its current Director Selection Policy.
