The final profit refers to profit adopted by the Governing Council after the company issued financial statements for the full year, which (fiscal year (.

Final dividends are usually larger than the interim profit share, which may be issued during the financial year for the company. And this is because the Board of Directors not be sure of the total amount of cash available for distribution to shareholders that the year ends, so it is usually in the very boards reservation when issuing any interim dividend. The amount of the final payment is a fixed amount for each share of common stock. And the announcement during the annual meeting of shareholders.

The final size of the amount of profits that can be expected by analysts, or through the company's management.

The final term also refers to the profit of liquidation dividends issued by companies - which terminated its activity in the market - to shareholders.

The final concept of profit is very common among large companies, which issued a profit routinely, as these companies have a clear policy already ensures a constant level of earnings or profit level increases slightly with time.

With the issuance of this earnings consistent pattern company attract investments geared to achieve income, depending on the constant flow of profits.

So from the standpoint of investor relations is no point in continuing to change the amount of profits over time, as is the case in the concept of the final profit.
