The quarterly pattern starts in 2025. Payments with ex-dates in March, June and September 2025 were $0.22 each. On December 15, 2025, four separate amounts went ex together: $0.33, $0.28, $0.22 and $0.17, or $1.00 in all, which makes 2025 the largest calendar year in the table at $1.66. In 2026 the payments were $0.22 in March and $0.24 in June and September. Before 2025 the table shows only December ex-dates: three amounts totalling $1.12 in 2021 and $1.13 in 2022, and a single $0.51 in 2024. It shows no ex-dates in 2023. The source gives no growth streak.

Ex-dates have fallen in mid to late March, June and September, with payment at the end of the month, and in mid-December for the year-end payment. If that pattern holds, the next distribution would go ex-dividend in mid-December 2026 and be paid at the end of December.
