First quarter 2017
An attractive dividend, the Group's competitiveness and strong market positions are some reasons to invest in Deutsche Telekom shares.
- Dividend growth: Increasing dividend per share of 10% from 55ct to 60ct for the fiscal year 2016 (payout in June 2016; subject to approaval by the Annual General Meeting). In 2015 we gave an outlook for the years 2015 to 2018: we promised a minimum pay-out of 50ct per share and growth of dividends in line with free cash flow growth. We have delivered on these promises for 2015 and 2016 and are well on track for 2017.

- Tax-free payout: The dividend for the 2015 financial year will be paid out without deduction of the German capital gains tax.
