Leadcorp announced that it has set its year-end dividend for 2025 at 150 won per share, a 50% increase from the 100 won paid for fiscal year 2024.
The company disclosed the decision through a corporate value enhancement plan filing on Wednesday. Leadcorp's net profit for last year reached 11.7 billion won, up 21.9% from 9.6 billion won the previous year.
On the back of improved earnings, Leadcorp increased its total dividend payout to 3.84 billion won, compared with 2.56 billion won for fiscal year 2024. The dividend payout ratio expanded from 26.5% in 2024 to 32.7%. The company also plans to dispose of all 851,283 shares of treasury stock within the year.
"We plan to maintain a payout ratio of 30% or above," a Leadcorp official said. "We will secure new growth engines through a capital increase in our Kazakhstan subsidiary and business expansion."
