Chemed Corporation (NYSE:CHE) announced today that the Board of Directors has formally authorized an additional $300 million for stock repurchase under Chemed's existing share repurchase program. These shares repurchases will be funded through a combination of cash generated from operations as well as utilization of its revolving credit facility.

The Board of Directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend of 60-cents per share on the Company's capital stock, payable on August 29, 2025, to shareholders of record as of August 11, 2025. This is a 10-cent, or 20.0%, increase over the 50-cent dividend paid in June 2025. The previous increase was in August 2024, when the Board raised the quarterly dividend from 40-cents to 50-cents per share. This represents the 217th consecutive quarterly dividend paid by Chemed in its 54 years as a public company.
