TOKYO, Feb 10 (Pulse News Wire) -- GMO Media, Inc. (6180.T), led by President and CEO Shinoki Masayuki, announced on Friday that it has revised its dividend policy to include a new Dividend Payout Ratio (DPR) metric known as DOE (Consolidated Shareholder Capital Dividend Rate). The company's board of directors approved this change during their meeting today.
GMO Media has historically prioritized shareholder returns, maintaining a basic dividend payout ratio of over 65 percent of parent company attributable net income. However, recognizing the need for improved capital efficiency and more stable shareholder returns unaffected by fluctuations in earnings levels, the company decided to introduce an additional lower limit indicator of a 5 percent DOE starting from the fiscal year ending December 2026.
This adjustment aims to ensure dividends are distributed based on the level of shareholders' equity while promoting sustainable shareholder returns amidst rapidly changing business environments. According to the company, this strategy will help achieve appropriate distribution of growth benefits and maintain stability despite shifts in operating conditions. Additionally, GMO Media emphasizes balancing strategic investments for sustained growth with adequate internal reserves, all while striving for consistent and stable dividend payouts.
The revised policy will take effect beginning with the fiscal year ending December 2026. For reference, detailed forecasts for dividends in the fiscal year ending December 2026 were disclosed in today’s announcement of the interim report for the fiscal year ended December 2025. Interested parties can find further information in the said document.
