GDEV Declares One-Time, Nonrecurring Special Cash Dividend of $3.31 Per Share

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.'

Mesoblast (ASX:MSB) Gains 15% In One Week With US FDA Orphan-Drug Approval

Mesoblast experienced a 15% increase in its share price over the past week, largely driven by a significant orphan-drug approval by the U.S. FDA for Ryoncil. This approval, granting seven years of exclusivity for a vital treatment, likely bolstered investor confidence given the strengthened competitive positioning of Mesoblast. While broader market trends saw the S&P 500 and Nasdaq reach new highs amid positive investor sentiment on U.S.-China trade discussions, Mesoblast's specific gains were more tied to its unique developments, as they provided a substantial boost, counterbalancing broader market movements. You should learn about the 1 warning sign we've spotted with Mesoblast. Explore 22 top quantum computing companies leading the revolution in next-gen technology and shaping the future with breakthroughs in quantum algorithms, superconducting qubits, and cutting-edge research. Over the past three years, Mesoblast's total shareholder return, including share price changes and dividends, reached 181.00%. Despite recent gains driven by the U.S. FDA's orphan-drug approval for Ryoncil, the company's one-year performance outpaced the broader Australian Biotechs industry, which returned 12.3% less in the same timeframe. This highlights significant investor confidence and a positive reception to recent strategic advancements. While Mesoblast's share price has experienced impressive growth, it still trades at approximately 88% below consensus analyst price targets. The approval of Ryoncil positions the company competitively, potentially boosting future revenue, as evidenced by the expanded insurance coverage to 104 million U.S. lives. However, Mesoblast remains unprofitable, with A$47.93 million in net losses reported in its recent earnings. Analysts forecast substantial revenue growth at 56.7% annually, but profit forecasts show continued challenges for the next three years. The stock's recent appreciation reflects increased optimism, although the gap between the current share price and targeted fair value suggests room for further market adjustments. Our comprehensive valuation report raises the possibility that Mesoblast is priced lower than what may be justified by its financials. This article by Simply Wall St is general in nature.
