Sandoll Co., Ltd. (CEO Youngho Yun), a content creator platform company, announced that it has decided to acquire and fully retire approximately KRW 2 billion worth of treasury shares after achieving the highest performance in the company’s history.


According to Sandoll’s preliminary consolidated results for 2025, the company recorded revenue of approximately KRW 19.9 billion and operating profit of approximately KRW 4.4 billion, representing year-over-year growth of about 27% and 56%, respectively. Operating profit growth significantly outpaced revenue growth, signaling tangible progress in profit structure advancement and operational efficiency. Stable cash flow from its platform business and service expansion leveraging AI technologies drove the earnings improvement.


In particular, Sandoll completed the retirement of treasury shares worth approximately KRW 4.4 billion in January this year and has now decided to acquire an additional KRW 2 billion worth of treasury stock for full cancellation. The move is meaningful in that it demonstrates the company’s commitment to enhancing shareholder value through continuous, rather than one-off, treasury share retirements.


The planned acquisition amounts to roughly KRW 2 billion, with the purchase period scheduled from February 12 to May 8. Once the acquisition is completed, the shares will be retired within one month. NH Investment & Securities will serve as the entrusted brokerage firm.


Treasury share retirement is considered one of the most direct shareholder return policies, as it reduces the number of outstanding shares and increases value per share. Sandoll has set a mid- to long-term target shareholder return ratio of 40% and plans to continue expanding returns based on earnings growth.


The company will also implement a cash dividend. The planned dividend is KRW 100 per share, with a record date of February 27. The dividend will be finalized following approval at the regular shareholders’ meeting and paid within one month from the resolution date. The dividend meets the requirements for separate taxation, with a payout ratio exceeding 25% and total cash dividends increasing by more than 10% year over year.


A Sandoll official stated, “Enhancing shareholder value is not merely a declared strategy but a management principle that must be executed. We will share the profits generated from our earnings growth with shareholders and continue to increase corporate value by maintaining a balance between growth investments and shareholder returns under a consistent capital policy.”


Meanwhile, Sandoll plans to further strengthen its platform and AI-driven business competitiveness to expand stable cash-generating capabilities while enhancing market confidence through a predictable shareholder return policy.
