Talabat Declares USD 202 Million Interim Dividend, Reaffirming Shareholder Commitment
Talabat Holding plc (“talabat” or “the Company”), the leading on-demand online ordering and delivery platform in the MENA region, has announced the approval of an interim dividend distribution totaling USD 202 million. The payout, equivalent to 3.188 fils per share, reflects a 90% payout ratio of the Company’s reported net income for the first half of 2025.

Talabat’s management also confirmed its intention to recommend maintaining a 90% payout ratio for the full year, subject to Board and shareholder approval at the 2026 Annual General Meeting (AGM).
Tomaso Rodriguez, Chief Executive Officer of talabat, said:
“Today’s interim dividend announcement underscores the resilience of our business and our commitment to shareholder returns. Our asset-light business model and robust cash generation enable us to distribute a substantial portion of earnings to shareholders while maintaining the financial flexibility to fund our growth strategy. We remain on track to meet or exceed our full-year dividend guidance.”
The Company also outlined the key dates for dividend eligibility:
Last day to participate: Tuesday, September 30, 2025
Ex-dividend date: Wednesday, October 1, 2025
Record date: Thursday, October 2, 2025
