Elmos Semiconductor SE has announced a significant capital return program for the fiscal year 2025, with plans to distribute approximately 36 million Euro to shareholders through a combination of increased dividends and share buybacks. The Management Board, with approval from the Supervisory Board, has decided to further develop its dividend policy to provide attractive and sustainable capital allocation to investors.
The company will propose a dividend of 1.50 Euro per share for fiscal year 2025 at the Annual General Meeting on May 27, 2026, representing a 50% increase compared to the previous year. Additionally, Elmos has approved a share buyback program that will acquire treasury shares with a total volume of up to 10.0 million Euro between February 24, 2026, and March 31, 2026. The combined distribution represents an increase of more than 100% compared to the previous year's shareholder returns.
This announcement is important because it demonstrates Elmos's strong financial position and successful business development during a period of significant transformation in the automotive semiconductor industry. The company's decision to return substantial capital to shareholders while maintaining financial flexibility indicates confidence in its future growth prospects and operational stability. For investors, this represents tangible evidence of the company's profitability and commitment to shareholder value creation.
Dr. Arne Schneider, CEO of Elmos Semiconductor SE, stated that the capital allocation policy sends a strong signal for the sustainable and future-oriented development of the Elmos Group. "With attractive dividends and structured share buybacks, our shareholders will participate substantially in the company's success, while we maintain our financial flexibility and strategic capacity for further profitable growth," Schneider explained.
The implications of this announcement extend beyond immediate shareholder returns. Elmos, which develops intelligent microchip solutions primarily for the automotive industry, is positioning itself as a financially robust player in a competitive market. The company's focus on analog mixed-signal ICs supports key automotive trends including autonomous driving, electromobility, and software-defined vehicles. The capital return program suggests that Elmos has generated sufficient cash flow from these growth areas to reward investors while continuing to invest in future innovation.
Industry observers will be watching for the company's preliminary figures for 2025 and outlook for fiscal year 2026, which will be published on February 24, 2026.
