# Interim Dividend

A dividend that is announced before a company files its annual financial statements is called an interim dividend.

These are announced in between the year - due to reasons like higher quarterly profits, better than expected growth, etc.

On the other hand, a dividend that is announced at the end of a year is called a final dividend.
