HAUPPAUGE, N.Y., Nov. 24, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- United-Guardian, Inc. UG announced today that its Board of Directors, at its meeting on November 20, 2014, declared a $0.32 per share cash dividend, which will be payable on December 22, 2014 to all stockholders of record on December 8, 2014. This will be the 19th consecutive year that the company has paid a year-end dividend, and brings to $0.80 the total dividends the company has paid to its stockholders this year.

Ken Globus, President of United-Guardian, stated, "Although our sales in the second and third quarters were lower than we had expected when the year began, our sales for October and November have been very strong. We believe that we will finish the year with a strong 4th quarter, resulting in yet another very profitable year for the company. For that reason, it was the opinion of the Board that the payment of this dividend is reasonable and is in the best interests of our stockholders."
