Because there is always a very long delay between announcement, XD and payment date for SSE. They are not the worst. SMDS win that crown for me.

When companies go from half-yearly to quarterly it b's up my record keeping, and if a payment slips over into a further quarter compared with a previous year, it might muck up comparisons without a fiddle factor. But, in general, I don't care as long as I get it!

If they had people owing them money, it is unlikely that they would allow much longer than 30 days for payment. On the other hand, they probably make their suppliers wait longer to be paid. You may recall that Weinstock's GEC was notorious for not paying in a timely fashion, to the extent that many would only deal with them on a "cash with order" basis.
One has to ask why the delay is imposed?

Maintaining a prudent Treasury policy
SSE's treasury policy is designed to be prudent and flexible. In line with that, cash from operations is first used to finance regulatory and maintenance capital expenditure and then dividend payments, with capital and investment expenditure for growth generally financed by a combination of: cash from operations; bank borrowings and bond issuance.
The proposed interim dividend has not been included as a liability in these financial statements.
