Nexon revises 2025 outlook, boosts dividend, and announces share buyback

Nexon Co., Ltd. announced a revised full-year consolidated outlook for 2025, projecting revenue between ¥467,303 million and ¥480,839 million, and profit attributable to owners of parent between ¥103,427 million and ¥111,802 million. This revision reflects an anticipated decrease in profit before tax due to an expected foreign exchange loss. Standalone revenue is expected to decline to ¥6,163 million due to the termination of the EA SPORTS FC™ MOBILE service, while ordinary income and net income are expected to rise to ¥188,265 million and ¥178,118 million, respectively, driven by dividends from subsidiaries.

Nexon's board of directors approved a substantial increase in the year-end dividend forecast for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. The revised annual dividend is ¥45.0 per share, an increase of ¥15.0 per share from the previous forecast.

Additionally, Nexon initiated a share buyback program for up to 10,000,000 shares, representing 1.3% of outstanding shares, with a total acquisition cost not exceeding JPY 25 billion. The buyback period is set from November 12, 2025, to January 26, 2026.
