The Management Board of Elmos Semiconductor SE has decided, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, to further develop its dividend policy, thereby sending a clear signal for attractive and sustainable capital allocation. In future, if there is a positive net cash position at the end of the year, a significant portion of the net cash will be returned to the capital market via dividends and structured share buybacks, taking into account the expected business development and the respective market environment.
Based on this, Elmos will propose a dividend of 1.50 euros per share for the fiscal year 2025 at the Annual General Meeting on May 27, 2026, which corresponds to an increase of 50% compared to the previous year. In addition, the Management Board, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, adopted a resolution to launch a share buyback program via the stock exchange. Under the program, treasury shares with a total volume of up to 10.0 million euros are to be acquired between February 24, 2026, and March 31, 2026.
With the proposed dividend and share buyback, Elmos is planning a total distribution of around 36 million euros for the fiscal year 2025. This represents an increase of more than 100% compared to the previous year and underscores the company's successful development and strong cash position. The preliminary figures for 2025 and the outlook for the fiscal year 2026 will be published on February 24, 2026.
"With the further development of our capital allocation policy, the 50% dividend increase for the successful fiscal year 2025, and the approved share buyback program, we are sending a strong signal for the sustainable and future-oriented development of the Elmos Group," says Dr. Arne Schneider, CEO of Elmos Semiconductor SE. "With attractive dividends and structured share buybacks, our shareholders will participate substantially in the company's success, while we maintain our financial flexibility and strategic capacity for further profitable growth."
The announcement matters because it reflects the company's robust financial health and confidence in its future prospects. By committing to return capital to shareholders when net cash positions are positive, Elmos establishes a transparent framework that aligns shareholder returns with business performance. This approach provides investors with predictable returns while allowing the company to maintain strategic flexibility for growth investments. The substantial increase in total distribution demonstrates successful execution of the company's business strategy and positions Elmos as an attractive investment in the semiconductor sector.
