Kogan.com Resumes Dividend Payments After Three Years
Kogan.com (ASX:KGN), a leading online retailer, announced on Monday its return to dividend payments, marking a significant milestone after a three-year hiatus. The decision follows a resurgence in profitability for the company during the six months leading up to December.
領先的在線零售商Kogan.com（澳大利亞證券交易所股票代碼：KGN）週一宣佈恢復股息支付，這標誌着中斷三年後的重要里程碑。該決定是在截至12月的六個月中該公司盈利能力恢復之後做出的。
The online giant had last distributed dividends in early 2021, amounting to 16 cents per share, before suspending payouts as part of efforts to streamline operations and reduce costs. This move came amidst a challenging period marked by a sales downturn following the initial wave of pandemic-induced lockdowns, which had paradoxically boosted online retail activity.
這家在線巨頭最後一次派發股息是在2021年初，爲每股16美分，之後暫停派息，這是簡化運營和降低成本的努力的一部分。這一舉措是在一個充滿挑戰的時期採取的，其特徵是疫情引發的封鎖浪潮之後的銷售下滑，自相矛盾的是，封鎖浪潮推動了在線零售活動。
Despite facing another decline in sales, Kogan.com has managed to bounce back in terms of earnings, signaling a newfound confidence in the company's trajectory and its ability to generate returns for shareholders. The reinstated dividend, set at 7.5 cents per share, underscores this optimism.
儘管銷售額再次下降，但Kogan.com的收益還是成功反彈，這表明人們對公司的發展軌跡及其爲股東創造回報的能力有了新的信心。恢復的股息定爲每股7.5美分，凸顯了這種樂觀情緒。
Revenue for the period decreased by 10%, falling from AU$275.6 million to $248.2 million compared to the same period last year.
該期間的收入下降了10％，與去年同期相比從2.756億澳元下降至2.482億美元。
Ruslan Kogan, the founder and CEO of Kogan.com, expressed optimism about the company's future prospects in a statement released on Monday. "While our business transformation to a more efficient, platform and software-based model is in its early days, it's promising to see that it's starting to pay dividends," he remarked.
Kogan.com的創始人兼首席執行官魯斯蘭·科根在週一發佈的一份聲明中對該公司的未來前景表示樂觀。他說：“儘管我們向更高效、基於平台和軟件的模式的業務轉型尚處於初期階段，但有望看到它開始帶來紅利。”
Kogan highlighted recent initiatives aimed at enhancing the company's offerings and driving growth, including the launch of Mighty Ape's first vertical, Mighty Mobile, and the introduction of an Advertising Platform to support sellers on the Marketplace. He emphasized the company's commitment to delivering value to both shareholders and customers, particularly through initiatives such as Kogan FIRST Subscribers.
Kogan重點介紹了最近旨在增強公司產品和推動增長的舉措，包括推出Mighty Ape的首個垂直廣告Mighty Mobile，以及推出廣告平台以支持市場上的賣家。他強調了公司致力於爲股東和客戶創造價值，特別是通過Kogan FIRST Subsersions等舉措。
"All these and more help us run a better business for you, our shareholders, while creating the best value for millions of customers," Kogan stated. "Kogan.com is about to turn 18, and I've never been more confident about the outlook for our business and its ability to deliver remarkable value."
科根說：“所有這些以及更多內容有助於我們爲您，我們的股東經營更好的業務，同時爲數百萬客戶創造最佳價值。”“Kogan.com即將年滿18歲，我對我們的業務前景及其創造非凡價值的能力比以往任何時候都更有信心。”
The announcement of resumed dividend payments comes as Kogan.com approaches its 18th year in operation, marking a pivotal moment in its ongoing evolution as a key player in the e-commerce landscape.
