APR Announces Interim Dividend for Second Consecutive Year, Total Shareholder Returns Reach 400 Billion Won

Global beauty company APR will distribute an interim cash dividend of approximately 93.6 billion won this year.

APR announced on July 16 that its board of directors has decided to pay a cash dividend of 2,500 won per common share. The record date for the dividend is set for August 3, and the payment will be made on August 31.

This interim dividend marks the second consecutive year of distribution, aimed at expanding shareholder returns based on stable performance and financial soundness.

Since its listing in 2024, APR has been implementing both cash dividends and share buybacks. Prior to this interim dividend, the company had invested approximately 310 billion won in shareholder returns through share buybacks and cancellations, bringing the total shareholder returns, including this dividend, to about 400 billion won.

In March, APR announced its first corporate value enhancement plan since going public, stating its intention to maintain a shareholder return rate of over 25% based on consolidated net income.

An APR representative stated, "We will continue to balance growth investments and shareholder returns based on solid performance and a stable financial structure, enhancing both corporate and shareholder value."

Meanwhile, APR's flagship beauty brand, MediCube, recorded its highest sales ever during Amazon Prime Day in the U.S. from June 23 to 26.
