Elmos Semiconductor SE (FSE: ELG) announced during its virtual Annual General Meeting on May 27, 2025, that shareholders approved a dividend of €1.50 per share for fiscal year 2025, a 50% increase from the prior year. The dividend is scheduled for payment on June 1, 2026. The meeting, representing over 83% of voting share capital, adopted all agenda items with a large majority.
In addition to re-electing long-standing shareholder representatives Dr. Klaus Weyer and Prof. Dr. Gunter Zimmer to the Supervisory Board, shareholders elected two new members: Guido Meyer (60) and Tobias Weyer (42).

CEO Dr. Arne Schneider highlighted key strategic milestones during his presentation, including Elmos' first year as a fabless company, the new corporate structure with a holding company in Leverkusen, the successful SAP S/4HANA migration, and expansion of international presence with a new development site in Brno, Czech Republic, and a full-function subsidiary in China. Dr. Schneider also emphasized the company's innovative strength in automotive sectors such as electrification, driver assistance systems, comfort and premium features, and software-defined vehicles, as well as in related technologies like cybersecurity and robotics.
The announcement underscores Elmos' strategic shift to a fabless model, which reduces capital expenditure and allows focus on design and innovation. The dividend increase signals confidence in the company's financial health and future prospects.
