Per Kogut, CEO at NNIT comments: "In our first year as a listed company, the performance has been reassuring and we have delivered on our targets. Despite a competitive market and currency headwinds, we have been able to deliver organic revenue growth of 7.9% and an operating profit margin of 10.3%. Our encouraging results - including the strong increase in free cash flow of 38% - allow us to propose a dividend of DKK 4.00 per share corresponding to a pay-out ratio 46% of net profit."
