Gigabit plans to pay dividends three times a year, with the dividend payout ratio not falling below 50% of annual profits.

Yesterday (the 1st) evening, Gigabit issued an announcement outlining its shareholder return plan for the next three years (2025–2027).

As stated in the announcement, Gigabit plans to formulate and implement a reasonable profit distribution plan without affecting the company’s ability to continue as a going concern, thereby helping investors establish long-term and stable investment expectations.

Gigabit stated that it will pay dividends when the company is profitable and, even in the absence of revenue, its cash reserves are sufficient to support operations for the next 36 months.

Provided there is a basis for dividend distribution, Gigabit generally pays dividends three times a year: upon the release of the interim report, the Q3 financial report, and the annual report. The total annual dividend payout ratio shall not be less than 50% of the net profit attributable to shareholders for that year.

Gigabit may also adjust its dividend payout ratio based on factors such as the performance of its games and whether the company has any major capital expenditure plans:

Last year, Gigabit's dividend payout ratio was 76%; this year, it has already paid out 900 million yuan in dividends.

Although this plan has only just been announced, Gigabit has actually been distributing dividends in line with the release dates of its interim reports, Q3 earnings reports, and annual reports over the past two years. The aforementioned plan essentially formalizes this established practice.

In its interim report for the first half of last year, Q3 earnings report, and annual report, Gigabit declared dividends of 4.5 yuan, 2 yuan, and 3.5 yuan per share, respectively, for a total of 717 million yuan, representing an annual dividend payout ratio of 76%.

Gigabit's profitability has grown further this year, and the company has already distributed 903 million yuan in dividends, surpassing last year's figure.

In the A-share market, 37 Interactive Entertainment places a strong emphasis on shareholder returns, distributing dividends four times a year and establishing a systematic dividend policy.
