(firmenpresse) - EDMONTON, ALBERTA -- (Marketwire) -- 02/15/12 -- Stantec (TSX: STN) (NYSE: STN) is pleased to announce that its board of directors has approved a dividend policy, and concurrently declared its first quarterly dividend of C$0.15 per share, payable on April 17, 2012, to shareholders of record on March 30, 2012. The declaration of a dividend reflects the confidence of Stantec's board of directors and management in the Company's ability to generate ongoing cash flow from operations, continue to grow revenue, and complete strategic acquisitions while providing enhanced shareholder returns.
"Over the past three years, our Company has enhanced its capital plan and established a critical mass that is strong enough to fund growth while maintaining consistent operational performance. Stantec has reached a point of maturity in its evolution to be able to make this significant step-ensuring our shareholders continue to benefit from our consistent growth, operational effectiveness, and strategic success," says Bob Gomes, Stantec president and chief executive officer. Of this first quarterly dividend, C$0.10 per share has been designated as an "ineligible dividend" and C$0.05 per share has been designated as an "eligible dividend" for Canadian income tax purposes.
"Stantec's operating history and strong balance sheet allows us the opportunity to announce our new dividend policy and initial dividend to our shareholders," says Gomes. "As part of Stantec's strategy, we remain disciplined and focused on consistent growth and strategic positioning for the future, while creating value for our shareholders."
