Company scraps dividend for billionaire owners despite profit

In each of the last two financial years, the company has paid out £15 million to founders Dame Mary Perkins and her husband Doug.

During this period, Specsavers’ turnover rose from £3.39 billion to £3.98bn in its latest financial year ending February 28, 2025.

However, pretax profit saw a decrease, falling from £449.5m to £339.3m over the same two reporting periods.

Specsavers does not release full group accounts for Specsavers International Healthcare Limited due to its Guernsey headquarters.
