Total shareholder return
Total shareholder return (TSR) is the measure of the returns that a company has provided for its shareholders, reflecting share price
movements and assuming reinvestment of dividends. Over the last five years (as shown in the first TSR chart below), BT’s TSR is negative
40.5% compared with the FTSE 100 TSR of positive 7.0%. BT’s poor TSR performance is largely due to the volatile share price during the
2009 financial year, with the share price touching an all time low of 70.2p. BT’s TSR for the 2009 financial year was negative 60.2%,
compared with the FTSE 100 TSR which was negative 28.2% and the FTSEurofirst 300 Telco Index TSR which was negative 20.5%. In the
period between the demerger on 19 November 2001 and 31 March 2009, BT’s TSR was negative 59.5%, compared with negative 26.1%
for the FTSEurofirst 300 Telco Index. The FTSE 100 TSR over the same period was negative 3.9%.
