HAMBURG (dpa-AFX) - Xing parent New Work continues to benefit significantly from the shortage of skilled workers and the resulting demand for solutions. Fourth-quarter revenue rose by just under eight percent year-on-year to 82 million euros, the SDax-listed company announced in Hamburg on Thursday. Of this, 23.5 million remained as operating profit (Ebitda) - a quarter more than in the previous year. However, because significantly higher taxes were incurred in the final quarter, net income fell by around 17 percent to around 8 million euros. However, this was still better than analysts had predicted. New Work intends to pay its shareholders an increased dividend for 2022 and again a special distribution. The regular profit share is to increase by 13 percent to 3.16 euros per share. In addition, as in the previous year, a special dividend of 3.56 euros per bill is to be paid. The dividend will primarily benefit majority shareholder Burda, which holds just over half of the shares./ngu/zb
