Magnolia Oil & Gas Announces 15 Percent Dividend Increase
03 February 2025 - 11:00PM
Business Wire
Magnolia Oil & Gas Corporation (NYSE: MGY) announced today
that its Board of Directors has declared a cash dividend of $0.15
per share of Class A common stock, and a cash distribution of $0.15
per Class B unit, payable on March 3, 2025, to shareholders of
record as of February 14, 2025. Today’s announcement represents a
15 percent increase to Magnolia’s quarterly dividend rate and
provides an annualized dividend of $0.60 per share. This is the
fourth consecutive year that Magnolia has increased its dividend
rate since initiating a dividend payment in 2021. Magnolia expects
to declare its next quarterly dividend in May for payment in
June.
“The increase in the dividend is supported by Magnolia’s
achievements during 2024 which included total production growth of
9 percent, a 5 percent reduction in the total shares outstanding,
and strong progress on lowering our field-level cash operating
costs,” said Chris Stavros, Magnolia’s President and CEO. “Magnolia
continues to execute its business plan of maintaining low leverage
with disciplined capital spending, while generating modest annual
production growth, sustaining high pre-tax margins and delivering
steady and consistent free cash flow. These guiding principles
together with last year’s accomplishments have further improved
Magnolia’s dividend per share payout capacity, leading to the 15
percent dividend increase we announced today. Magnolia’s dividend
is secure at significantly lower product prices which appeals to
long-term investors who value dividend safety through commodity
cycles. Delivering a sustainable, safe, and growing dividend is a
key component of Magnolia’s total shareholder return strategy.”
