Gibson Energy Announces 5% Dividend Increase and Declares Dividend (CNW Group/Gibson Energy Inc.)

"With the continued growth of our long-term, stable cash flows from our Infrastructure segment as well as our distributable cash flow per share, which have both roughly doubled over the past five years, we are pleased to continue the consistent, annual growth of our dividend," said Steve Spaulding, President and Chief Executive Officer.  "The increase reflects our continued adherence to our stated capital allocation approach, including through the buyback of over 4% of outstanding shares in 2022, as well as our Financial Governing Principles which consider Infrastructure-only payout and leverage metrics that do not rely on the variable part of our business.  When combined with our intention to repurchase up to $100 million in common shares in 2023, we see the potential to provide a return of capital of nearly 10% per share during the year."
