MANILA, Philippines — Diversified engineering conglomerate DMCI Holdings Inc. will distribute a special cash dividend amounting to P6.4 billion.
In a stock exchange filing, DMCI said its board approved yesterday the declaration of a special cash dividend of P0.48 per share.
The dividend will be paid on Nov. 21,2025 to all shareholders on record as of Nov. 5, 2025. The ex-dividend date is set for Nov. 4,2025.
“In a challenging environment, our businesses continue to perform and deliver value to our shareholders,” DMCI chairman and president Isidro Consunji said.
Together with the cash dividends declared earlier this year amounting to P0.60 per share or P8 billion, DMCI’s total dividends for the year amounted to P1.08 per share or P14.3 billion.
The amount represents 76 percent of the conglomerate’s 2024 core net income and dividend yield of approximately 10 percent based on the company’s Oct. 20 closing price of P11.20.
DMCI said it remains focused on strengthening its business units while maintaining a robust balance sheet with sufficient cash flows.
In the first half, DMCI saw its profit drop by 18 percent to P9.1 billion due to weaker earnings from its integrated energy business, lower contributions from construction and initial losses from newly consolidated cement unit.
The company’s net income fell by 27 percent to P4 billion in the second quarter from P5.5 billion in the same period last year.
Improved earnings from the water distribution, nickel mining and off-grid power segments helped cushion the decline for the quarter.
