Golar confirms ongoing shareholder cash returns with a $0.25 per share dividend.

Golar LNG Limited has declared a cash dividend of $0.25 per share tied to its fourth quarter 2025 results. The key dates are a last day including rights on March 6, 2026, record date on March 9, 2026, and payment on or around March 18, 2026.

The dividend is declared in USD, but shares held in Norway’s VPS will receive payment in NOK, with distribution around March 20, 2026 because of Central Securities Depository Regulation implementation. This highlights operational details investors must note, especially cross-border holders.

The filing reinforces that Golar is currently returning cash to shareholders, but it does not quantify payout ratios or sustainability. Future quarterly reports and dividend declarations will provide more context on how consistent this level of cash return will be over time.
