Diversified engineering conglomerate DMCI Holdings, Inc. has declared a special cash dividend of ₱0.48 per share, amounting to ₱6.4 billion, following a hefty ₱5.33 billion cash dividend declaration by subsidiary Semirara Mining and Power Corp.
In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange, DMCI said the dividend, which has just been approved by its board of directors, will be paid on Nov. 21, 2025, to all shareholders on record as of November 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,” said DMCI Chairman and President Isidro A. Consunji.
Along with the cash dividends declared earlier this year amounting to ₱0.60 per share or ₱8.0 billion, the aggregate dividends for the year amounts to ₱1.08 per share or ₱14.3 billion.
This represents 76 percent of the conglomerate’s 2024 core net income and dividend yield of approximately 10 percent based on the Oct. 20, 2025 closing price of ₱11.20.
DMCI said it remains focused on strengthening its business units while maintaining a robust balance sheet with sufficient cash flows.
Semirara disclosed yesterday that its Board of Directors has approved a special cash dividend of ₱1.25 per outstanding common share for shareholders of record as of Nov. 4, 2025. The ex-dividend date is Nov. 3, 2025, and payment will be made on Nov. 20, 2025.
Earlier this year, in April, SCC distributed ₱8.50 billion in regular and special dividends, equivalent to ₱2.00 per common share.
“This dividend reflects our commitment to give back to our shareholders whenever our performance allows,” said Semirara President, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Sustainability Officer Maria Cristina C. Gotianun.
With this latest declaration, SMPC’s total dividend payout for 2025 will amount to ₱13.80 billion, representing 70 percent of its 2024 reported net income of ₱19.6 billion—well above its dividend policy of paying out at least 20 percent of the previous year’s earnings.
On a per-share basis, SCC’s total annual dividend of ₱3.25 translates to a cash dividend yield of 10 percent, based on its Oct. 20, 2025 closing price of ₱34.
