The former CFO Christopher Koch left in June. The change of CFO may be the reason why they didn't manage to announce preliminary results in August, as in previous years. Maybe the new CFO was still trying to get across everything.
As for timing of dividends, they have previously said that they are aiming for 2 dividends per calendar year, plus a 3rd capital management event, which could be either a 3rd dividend, or a buy back. So far this calendar year, they have paid one dividend and had a buy back. So if they stick to what they announced, there will be one more dividend this calendar year. But no-one knows when it will be paid.
Of course, they could always change their minds and pay more dividends, or change the timing etc.
