2020 – An unprecedented year

Pilipinas Shell’s Board of Directors has decided to cancel the Company’s 2020 dividend payout for 2019 financial results to ensure that the Company remains financially resilient, and to preserve cash for the year, in light of the unprecedented challenges brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Company is continuously evaluating options to provide meaningful rewards to its shareholders. Pilipinas Shell aims to consistently increase our dividend payout annually, subject to Board approval. We expect our dividends to increase as our business grows.
