Reporting from 1 source: 4Gamer.net.
Nexon announced a special dividend of about 324 billion yen, or 415 yen per share, pending board approval in September 2026. The payout follows second-quarter results that beat forecasts, with MapleStory franchise revenue up 63% year-on-year and ARC Raiders cumulative sales passing 16.3 million units.
Nexon will put a special dividend of roughly 324 billion yen to its board in September, the company said on August 13. The payout works out to 415 yen per share and follows a second quarter where revenue and operating profit both beat company forecasts.
The results rest on two pillars. MapleStory franchise revenue climbed 63% year-on-year to a quarterly record. ARC Raiders, which launched in October last year, has now sold over 16.3 million units and generated cumulative revenue above 88 billion yen.
Nexon holds 842 billion yen in cash and equivalents, with annual operating cash flow near 100 billion yen. The special dividend returns part of that surplus while the company says it keeps funds for future growth. Nexon also plans an interim dividend of 30 yen per share, or 60 yen annually, for fiscal 2026.
