Balchem Corporation Announces Dividend

BCPC

NEW HAMPTON, N.Y., Dec. 19, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Balchem Corporation (Nasdaq:BCPC) today announced that its Board of Directors has declared a dividend on its shares of common stock equal to $0.30 per share, payable on January 27, 2015 to holders of record on December 29, 2014. This dividend reflects a 15% increase over the prior year cash dividend.

Dino A. Rossi, Balchem's Chairman, President and CEO, stated, "As discussed in previous years regarding our dividend philosophy, we have positioned to maximize future returns for our shareholders, using capital for various growth objectives, as well as sharing near-term financial gains with our shareholders. This positioning helped us to execute the acquisition of SensoryEffects this year, and while challenging from an integration standpoint, we have continued to deliver quality financial results, and hence, this dividend reiterates our commitment to our shareholders."
