Soft-World International Corp. posted its highest profit in a decade and announced plans to reward shareholders with a substantial cash dividend.
The Taiwanese gaming company reported 2024 consolidated revenue of NT$6.77 billion ($215 million) and a net profit attributable to the parent company of NT$1.14 billion ($36.2 million), according to a statement Thursday. Earnings per share reached NT$7.75.
The board approved a cash dividend of NT$7.5 per share, with an ex-dividend trading date set for March 24 and payment scheduled for April 18.
Soft-World attributed its strong performance to the continued expansion of its MyCard payment platform, which now exceeds 7.2 million users. The company highlighted its efforts to combat fraud, noting it became the first gaming company to obtain FIDO online identity verification certification, with over a million users already utilizing the feature.
The company’s subsidiary Chinese Gamer plans to release three new mobile games this year, while Game First Network will launch the agency title “Phantasy Star Nexus” in the first quarter. The company said this game will feature collaborations with Taiwan’s top virtual idols to enhance interactive gaming experiences.
Additionally, Soft-World’s Blue Sun Group surpassed NT$100 billion in transaction volume in 2024. Its payment platform NewebPay now serves over 12,000 beauty industry stores across Taiwan, while its ezAIO service integrates 42 banks and nine major electronic payment institutions to provide cross-institutional shopping and collection services.
