GMO TECH Holdings,Inc. [415A.T]
TOKYO — GMO TECH Holdings, Inc., represented by President and CEO Akitoshi Suzuki, announced on February 12 that its board of directors had resolved to increase dividends for the fiscal year ending December 2025 and projected dividend payments for the fiscal year ending December 2026.
For the fiscal quarter ending December 2025 (October 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025), the company decided to distribute a dividend of ¥246.60 per share, an increase from the previously announced amount of ¥221.07 per share. The total dividend payout is expected to be ¥400 million, effective as of March 17, 2026. This decision reflects the company's commitment to sustainable growth alongside stable returns to shareholders. Given the recent expansion of its business foundation, GMO TECH anticipates continued profit growth and aims to enhance shareholder value by adhering to a policy of distributing dividends based on a payout ratio of over 65 percent.
Regarding the upcoming fiscal year ending December 2026, GMO TECH projects a dividend payment of ¥276.50 per share for the final quarter of the fiscal year. This projection builds upon the anticipated performance driven by the sustained growth in stock-based revenue from MEO services and real estate technology businesses, along with the recovery in affiliate advertising services and media services provided by GMO Design One. The company forecasts a net income of ¥443 million and earnings per share of ¥280.60 for the fiscal year. To align with this outlook, GMO TECH plans to incorporate the amortization of ¥228 million, derived from the five-year equal installment of the previously recognized "negative goodwill" gain of ¥1,141 million, into its net income calculation. Consequently, the company expects to maintain its dividend payout ratio above 65 percent, resulting in a total annual dividend of ¥276.50 per share for the fiscal year ending December 2026.
The announcement also highlighted that the "negative goodwill" gain, which was recorded as special income in the fiscal year ended December 2025, will be amortized evenly over five years starting from the same period. Each year’s net income will see an additional ¥228 million added back to it, ensuring compliance with the company's dividend distribution criteria. These measures underscore GMO TECH's dedication to balancing long-term strategic objectives with immediate shareholder benefits.
