TKO Group Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: TKO) has announced a significant increase in its quarterly cash dividend program. The board of directors authorized a 100% increase, resulting in a total distribution of approximately $150 million. Class A common stockholders will now receive $0.76 per share, up from the prior program's 38 cents per share. The dividend will be paid on September 30, 2025, to stockholders of record as of September 15, 2025.

The move comes on the heels of the company's recent media rights renewals for UFC and WWE, which have contributed to strong earnings and cash flow. Mark Shapiro, President and COO of TKO, stated, "On the heels of our UFC and WWE U.S. domestic media rights renewals and the strong earnings and cash flow profile they provide, alongside the continued strength and momentum in our underlying business, we are proud to double TKO’s quarterly cash dividend." The increased dividend, along with an expected share repurchase program starting in the third quarter, reflects the company's commitment to a robust capital return strategy.

TKO Group Holdings intends to fund these quarterly dividends using cash flow from operations and/or cash on hand. The company has also concurrently launched a potential upsize of its existing credit facility by up to $1.0 billion, subject to market conditions and customary closing conditions.
