Payments well outside NCMI's regular rate. These are one-offs — they are excluded from the growth figures above, and they are not assumed to recur, so they do not feed the predicted dates.

Frequently asked questions
- Do I need to own NCMI before the ex-dividend date?
- Yes. You must already hold the shares when trading opens on the ex-dividend date to receive the payment. Buying on the ex-date itself is too late — the seller keeps that dividend. See ex-date vs record date vs payment date for how the dates fit together.

- National CineMedia, Inc. has historically paid quarterly, across 67 payments since August 2007.
- How much does NCMI pay per share?
- The most recent payment was $0.03 per share, with an ex-date of May 22, 2026. At that rate and frequency the indicated annual dividend is $0.12 a share. This is the cash amount, not a yield — a yield depends on the share price you pay.
