FirstService Declares 11% Increase to Quarterly Cash Dividend

TORONTO, Feb. 06, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FirstService Corporation (TSX: FSV; NASDAQ: FSV) ("FirstService") announced today that its Board of Directors has approved an 11% increase in the quarterly cash dividend on the outstanding Common Shares of the Company over the previous US$0.2025 per Common Share and declared a quarterly dividend of US$0.225 per Common Share. The dividend is payable on April 11, 2023 to holders of Common Shares of record at the close of business on March 31, 2023.

The Company’s dividend will be US$0.90 on an annualized basis, up from US$0.81 during the past year. This distribution represents our eighth consecutive year of at least 10% annual dividend growth, resulting in more than a doubling of our dividend over that period. FirstService’s ability to drive long-term earnings and free cash flow growth while maintaining a conservative balance sheet are cornerstones of the Company’s successful financial track record and reinforce the approval of the increased dividend.

The dividend on Common Shares is an "eligible dividend" for Canadian income tax purposes.
