Written by Customer Service on . Posted in Dividend Reports And Estimates.

LIMASSOL, Cyprus, Feb. 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — GDEV Inc. (Nasdaq: GDEV), an international gaming and entertainment company (“GDEV” or the “Company”), today announced that its Board of Directors has authorized and approved a one-time, nonrecurring special cash dividend of $3.31 per share, representing a yield of approximately 20% based on the volume-weighted average price of the Company’s shares for the last 30 trading days prior to today’s announcement. The special dividend is payable on March 11, 2025, to the Company’s shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 3, 2025.

This one-time special dividend, totaling approximately $60 million, will be funded from GDEV’s accumulated profits over the past few years and represents a portion of the Company’s total cash balance of approximately $153 million1 (as of Q3 2024). The Company expects to release its audited results for the 2024 financial year around the end of the first quarter of 2025.

By distributing a portion of its retained earnings, GDEV better optimizes its capital structure, reducing excess liquidity and providing for a more lean and efficient operating model. This decision reflects the Company’s commitment to disciplined capital allocation and long-term value creation. The Board’s confidence in GDEV’s financial strength underscores its proactive approach to maintaining an optimal balance between stability and growth in the volatile environment. Importantly, this special dividend is a one-time distribution and does not establish a recurring dividend program. It is not anticipated that the GDEV’s Board of Directors will declare any further dividends in the foreseeable future.

GDEV Founder, CEO, and Chairman of the Board of Directors, Andrey Fadeev, stated: “The special dividend is the first in the Company’s history since our public listing. The decision to declare a special dividend underscores our commitment to delivering value to our shareholders while maintaining a strong financial position. Our robust balance sheet enables us to return capital to shareholders without compromising our ability to invest in the Company’s long-term growth. Following this distribution, GDEV will remain debt-free with a substantial cash balance providing financial stability and the continued development of both our existing portfolio and future initiatives.”
