TOKYO, Feb 10 (Pulse News Wire) -- GMO Pepabo, Inc. (3633.T), represented by President and CEO Kenta Sato, announced today that its board of directors has decided to revise the company's shareholder return policy. The changes were detailed during a meeting held on February 10, 2026.
The revision comes as part of the company’s strategy to strengthen its business foundation and prepare for aggressive expansion within the rapidly changing internet industry. While recognizing the importance of internal reserves, GMO Pepabo also acknowledges the significance of profit distribution as a key management issue. The company aims to enhance long-term stock value based on business growth while maintaining a basic dividend payout ratio of over 65 percent. Additionally, it strives to ensure stable profitability capable of sustaining regular dividends tied to performance outcomes.
To further solidify this commitment to consistent dividend payments, the company will introduce a new metric called DOE (Dividend Outflow to Equity Ratio). This addition is intended to provide shareholders with clearer expectations regarding future payouts. Under the revised policy, GMO Pepabo will adopt either a dividend payout ratio of more than 65 percent or a DOE rate exceeding 10 percent, whichever is higher.
The updated policy will be effective starting from the ongoing fiscal year ending December 2026. The criteria for the next interim dividend payment will be set based on the standard date of December 31, 2026.
