Savaria Corporation (“Savaria”) (TSX: SIS) one of the global
leaders in the accessibility industry, announces today that its
Board of Directors has approved an increase to the Corporation’s
monthly dividend, raising it to 4.33 cents ($0.0433) per common
share. On an annual basis, this represents an increase of two cents
($0.02) or 4%, raising the dividend to 52 cents ($0.52) per common
share. This increase will apply to the dividends payable monthly
starting on October 7, 2022, to shareholders of record of the
Corporation at the close of business on September 29, 2022. This is
an eligible dividend within the meaning of the Income Tax Act

A Word from the President
“This dividend increase reflects our confidence
in delivering sales growth and profitability in the coming years,
while maintaining ample balance sheet flexibility to pay down our
debt and invest in growth opportunities as they arise. Despite the
challenges posed by a global pandemic and inflation, Savaria
designs, manufactures and distributes products that fill a growing
global need. The population of people aged 65 and over is growing
faster than any other age group, and by 2030, it’s expected that
1.4 billion people will be 60 or older. Mobility issues follow this
trend and people will need products for an accessible home and
public spaces. With our distribution in over 40 countries, we
currently deliver a product at a rate of every two minutes around
the world. Together with our 2,250 employees, we remain confident
in our goal to deliver sales of over $1 billion by the end of 2025.
I thank them for their contribution to our success in meeting the
challenges of the pandemic,” said Marcel Bourassa, President and
CEO of Savaria.
