Johnson Matthey raises interim dividend by 5 pct

LONDON, Nov 17 (Reuters) - Johnson Matthey (LSE: JMAT.L - news) , a world leader in making catalysts for car emission-control devices, said it had raised its interim dividend by 5 percent to 20.5 pence and first-half sales were also up 5 percent from a year ago.

"Trading for the group during the period was in line with our expectations in our continuing businesses on a constant currency basis," CEO Robert MacLeod said in a statement on Thursday.
