The most significant portion of Umicore’s total income was used to secure the metal component of raw materials (the cost of which is passed on to the customer). After subtracting other raw materials costs, energy-related costs and depreciation, the remaining economic benefits available for distribution stood at 1.13 billion.

The biggest portion (798 million) was distributed to employees. The bulk of employee benefits was in the form of salaries, with the balance going to national insurance contributions, pensions and other benefits.

Net interest to creditors totaled 57 million, while taxes to the governments and authorities in the places where we operate, totaled 79 million. The earnings attributed to minority shareholders were 4.8 million.

Subject to approval by shareholders at the AGM in April 2021, Umicore’s Supervisory Board will propose a gross annual dividend of 0.75 per share for the full year 2020. This compares to a full dividend of 0.375 per share paid out for the financial year 2019. Taking into account the interim dividend of 0.25 per share paid out on 25 August 2020 and subject to shareholder approval, a gross amount of 0.50 per share will be paid out on 5 May 2021. This is in line with Umicore’s policy of paying a steady or gradually-increasing dividend.

In 2020, Umicore charitable donations amounted to 1.5 million.
