Coway Co., Ltd. has announced the expansion of its shareholder return policy, reinforcing its commitment to enhancing shareholder value and long-term, sustainable financial growth.
Starting FY2024, Coway will increase its total shareholder return rate from 20% to 40%, a commitment that will extend through FY2027. Of this increased total shareholder return rate, 34% will be allocated for cash dividends, while 6% will be dedicated to treasury share cancellation. As part of this latest commitment, Coway plans to cancel a total of 1,890,486 shares, representing 2.56% of its treasury shares, by the end of 2025. The enhanced total shareholder return rate is set to remain in place through FY2027.
Furthermore, Coway will participate in South Korea’s Corporate Value-Up Program in 2025 in order to increase corporate value, with more detailed information to be provided through public disclosure set for release within the first quarter of 2025.
The decision to expand shareholder returns reflects Coway’s strengthened financial stability and business competitiveness. “Coway plans to allocate resources toward shareholder returns, strategic investments for sustainable growth, and maintaining financial stability within the range of distributable profits, taking into account internal and external business conditions,” said Jangwon Seo, CEO of Coway. “We will continue to implement shareholder-friendly policies in various ways going forward.”
