# 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. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
