Samyang Foods disclosed its corporate governance report for fiscal year 2025, transparently revealing its financial and governance status.
Consolidated sales reached KRW 2.3518 trillion, operating profit KRW 524.2 billion, and net income KRW 388.7 billion, up 36%, 52%, and 43% year-on-year respectively, showing significant growth.
The company established a shareholder return policy maintaining a 9-11% payout ratio and has increased DPS for six consecutive years since 2020. The annual dividend for 2025 is KRW 4,800 per share, up 45% from the previous year.
The board consists of 9 members including 5 outside directors (56%), operates six committees (audit, compensation, ESG, risk management, etc.), but has some weaknesses: CEO兼任 board chair, non-compliance with 4-week advance notice for shareholder meetings.
No specific share buyback or cancellation plans, but aims to enhance shareholder value through continuous dividend increases and value-up plan disclosures.
