On February 25, 2026, Burford's board of directors declared a final dividend for the year ended December 31, 2025 of $0.0625 per ordinary share to be paid, subject to shareholder approval at the 2026 annual general meeting, on June 12, 2026 to shareholders of record on May 22, 2026.
Christopher Bogart, Burford Capital's Chief Executive Officer, commented:
"We had a terrific 2025 for new business, with new definitive commitments up 39%. Portfolio modeled realizations1 increased $700 million to $5.2 billion at year end. In the part of our business where we have less influence, case progress and realizations, we brought in a substantial amount of cash, but our results were impacted by extended case durations and other unrealized fair value adjustments. The quality of the portfolio remains high, and we believe the future is bright in terms of growing the business and the potential for asymmetric upside value for shareholders."

1 Modeled realizations reflect expected future realizations from capital provision assets (excluding YPF-related assets) based on probabilistic modeling of portfolio and adjusted by an experience factor based on historical modeling accuracy rates. Modeled realizations calculation is derived from Burford's internal modeling of individual matters and of Burford's portfolio as a whole. These data are not a forecast of future results. See "Forward-looking statements", "Estimates and assumptions" and "Key performance indicators" for more information. See the full detailed presentation of Burford's 4Q25 and FY25 financial results for information on how modeled realizations are calculated.
