Celltrion has implemented a mid-to-long-term shareholder return policy aimed at utilizing approximately one-third of its annual consolidated net profit to enhance shareholder value.

In late August, the company announced an immediate plan to purchase 524,384 shares valued at approximately 100 billion KRW, with a total planned buyback for the year reaching 300 billion KRW. This initiative includes the full cancellation of purchased shares to improve profitability metrics such as earnings per share.

By mid-September, the company confirmed the resolution to cancel 544,299 shares worth approximately 100 billion KRW, scheduled for late September. This brings the total value of shares slated for cancellation this year to 200 billion KRW across two separate instances. By proceeding with cancellation immediately after acquisition, the company aims to prevent concerns regarding potential resale and increase market predictability.

On September 29, Celltrion announced a decision to purchase an additional 560,853 shares valued at approximately 100 billion KRW. This brings the total share buyback amount for the year to 400 billion KRW, totaling 2,135,262 shares. These market purchases are scheduled to occur between September 30 and December 29. The company stated the decision was driven by the belief that its current stock price is undervalued relative to its intrinsic value and long-term growth potential. Celltrion intends to evaluate whether to cancel these new shares or expand cash dividends during its March 2027 annual general meeting, following shareholder feedback.
