The company remains highly liquid, with $761.6 million in cash and cash equivalents and $276.7 million in current and non‑current marketable securities as of October 31, 2025, though cash declined from April 30, 2025 as Korn Ferry used funds for working capital, capital expenditures, dividends, and share repurchases. Long‑term debt was stable near $398.1 million, and stockholders’ equity increased to $1.94 billion, reflecting retained earnings growth despite continued dividends and buybacks.
Korn Ferry reported that it has released its second quarter fiscal year 2026 financial results. The company furnished this information to investors through a press release dated December 9, 2025, which is attached as Exhibit 99.1.

Korn Ferry announced that its Board of Directors has declared a cash dividend of $0.48 per share on its common stock. The dividend will be paid on January 15, 2026 to shareholders who are on record as of the close of business on December 19, 2025.

The company notes that any future quarterly dividends will be decided at the Board’s discretion and will depend on factors such as earnings, capital needs, financial condition, and debt terms. The Board also retains the right to change, suspend, or revoke the dividend policy at any time, which means the ongoing level of dividends is not guaranteed.
