Silicon Studio reinstates dividend after 8 years amid strong earnings

Silicon Studio Corp. has revised its year-end dividend forecast for the fiscal year ending November 2025, proposing a dividend of JPY10.00 per share, to be sourced from capital surplus. This marks the first dividend distribution since November 2017, reflecting improved business stability and profitability. The company aims to balance financial soundness with sustained shareholder returns, alongside a recent application to change its market segment to the Standard Market of the Tokyo Stock Exchange in August 2025 to enhance transparency and corporate value.

The decision follows strong performance in the third quarter of the fiscal year ending November 2025, where the company reported net sales of JPY3,230 million, operating profit of JPY126 million, and net income of JPY147 million. The "Development Promotion and Support" segment saw increased demand for contract development, contributing to higher revenue and profit, while the "Human Resources" segment was driven by high-margin recruitment services.

For the full fiscal year ending November 2025, Silicon Studio forecasts net sales of JPY4,673 million, operating profit of JPY185 million, and net income of JPY200 million. This upward revision from the July 2025 forecast underscores the company's confidence in its operational strategy and continued growth in its core businesses.
