Airtel Uganda Limited has declared a proposed final dividend of Shs142 billion for the financial year ended December 31, 2025, underlining its sustained profitability and commitment to delivering value to shareholders.
The recommendation was approved by the company’s Board of Directors on February 20, 2026, and has been formally communicated in line with the Uganda Securities Exchange (USE) Listing Rules, 2025. The payout, however, remains subject to shareholder approval at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.
In a notice signed by Company Secretary Godfrey Bakibinga on behalf of the Board, the telecom giant said the proposed dividend translates to Shs3.55 per share.
“Notice is hereby given that on 20 February 2026, the Board of Directors of Airtel Uganda Limited recommended, for shareholders’ approval, a final dividend of Shs142bn representing Shs3.55 per share, for the financial year ended 31 December 2025,” the statement reads in part.
If approved, the dividend will be paid on or before April 29, 2026, after deducting applicable withholding tax.
The company has set April 8, 2026, as the book closure date. Shareholders whose names appear on the company’s register at the close of business on that date will qualify for the dividend, in accordance with Rule 41 of the USE Listing Rules, 2025.
Airtel Uganda has further advised shareholders to update their bank details and contact information to ensure smooth processing of dividend payments and timely receipt of future shareholder communications.
The announcement reinforces the telecom’s position as one of the leading dividend-paying counters on the local bourse, reflecting steady operational performance and strong cash generation during the year under review.
