Distributing earnings to shareholders is one of the highest priorities of the Paramount Bed Group. Since we became a publicly owned company, we have raised the dividend per share to reflect growth in earnings, conducted stock splits, paid commemorative dividends and used other methods to distribute earnings.
We plan to continue to distribute earnings to shareholders in a manner that reflects earnings. Dividend decisions will incorporate all applicable factors, including the need to increase financial soundness and other aspects of operations in order to continue growing and respond to rapid changes in our markets.
We will work to achieve a dividend payout ratio of 50% and DOE 4.0% as the benchmark of our distribution of earnings to shareholders.
