Frequently asked
Does Xaar (XAR.XLON) pay a dividend?+
No. Xaar (XAR.XLON) does not pay a dividend, and no dividend payment appears anywhere in the filing history we hold.
How does Xaar return cash to shareholders?+
Through share buybacks rather than dividends. Over the last twelve months Xaar reduced its share count at a rate equivalent to a 0.7% buyback yield. A buyback returns value by shrinking the share count, so each remaining share owns more of the business, but unlike a dividend it pays you nothing in cash and can be stopped at any time without an announcement.
Could Xaar afford to pay a dividend?+
Not currently. Xaar's free cash flow is negative at -£1 million, meaning the business consumed cash over the period rather than generating it. A company funding a dividend from cash it is not producing would be paying shareholders out of its balance sheet or borrowings, which is not sustainable.
