ttb announces interim dividend of THB 0.081 per share, up 23% YoY, as the dividend payout ratio rises to 65% from 60% in the previous year, underscoring its commitment to maximizing shareholder returns through effective capital management.

Bangkok, August 25, 2026 -- The Board of Directors of TMBThanachart Bank Public Company Limited (ttb) has approved an interim dividend payment based on the Bank’s first-half 2026 operating results, totaling THB 7.1 billion, or THB 0.081 per share, representing a 23% increase from the same period last year. This reflects a dividend payout ratio of 65%, up from 60% in the previous year. The XD date (ex-dividend date) has been set for September 7, 2026, and the cash dividend payment will be made on September 25, 2026.

Mr. Piti Tantakasem, CEO of ttb, mentioned: “Alongside our commitment to improving customers’ Financial Well-being, we remain focused on delivering sustainable value to shareholders. Supported by resilient operating performance and a strong capital position, ttb is well positioned to pursue a flexible capital management to enhance total shareholder returns through various initiatives including consistent dividend payment, share repurchase program, and both organic and inorganic growths.

ttb is the first D-SIBs to implement a share repurchase program totaling THB 35,000 million over a four-year period (2025-2028). Following the completion of the fourth phase of the program in June 2026, the Bank had reached cumulative share repurchases of THB 21,000 million, representing 10,038 million shares, or 10.29% of its total paid-up shares. Importantly, the execution was achieved one year ahead of original plan, allowing shareholders to realize the benefits sooner. As repurchased shares are not eligible for dividend payments, the share buyback has a positive impact on both earnings per share (EPS) and dividends per share (DPS), enhancing dividend distributions both in current period and over the long-term.

At the same time, ttb has raised its dividend payout ratio (DPR) to 65%, compared with 60% last year and approximately 30%-35% prior to the merger. Combined with the benefits generated through the share repurchase mechanism, the interim dividend has increased by 23% to THB 0.081 per share, up from THB 0.066 per share in a previous year. This translates into a dividend yield of approximately 5%-6%, higher than the historical range of 2%-3%. As a result, ttb continues to be recognized among Thai banking stocks for its consistent dividend growth track record and attractive dividend yield.

For long-term value creation, ttb remains committed to maintaining a strong capital base to support future business expansion and loan growth opportunities. The Bank continues to focus on high-quality lending as well as to support government initiatives, including the SME Credit Boost program. In parallel, ttb is advancing its commitment to responsible lending practices. The Bank was the first in Thailand to implement Risk-based Pricing in a tangible way, covering four core products: ttb DRIVE auto title loan (without title transfer), ttb Cash2Go personal loan, mortgage refinancing, and home equity refinancing loans. The initiative enables customers with good credit scores to access more appropriated interest rates, while promoting greater awareness of the importance of maintaining disciplined credit behaviors.

Furthermore, ttb continues to promote savings and investment as a means of supporting long-term financial stability among Thai people. Through ttb superior privilege program, the Bank aims to make wealth management services more accessible to mass affluent customers. This provides greater opportunities for the customers to build on existing assets by diversifying beyond traditional deposits into broader asset management and investment solutions, supporting higher long-term returns and wealth accumulation.

These initiatives underscore ttb’s commitment to enhancing total shareholder returns while laying the foundation for better Financial Well-being among customers and contributing to the sustainable resolution of Thailand’s household debt challenges.”
