Matrimony.com Announces Buyback of Equity Shares Worth ₹585 Crore at ₹655 Per Share
Matrimony.com Limited is launching a buyback of up to 8,93,129 equity shares at ₹655 per share, totaling ₹585 crore. The buyback, approved by shareholders on January 18, 2026, aims to return surplus cash to shareholders. The record date is January 30, 2026, and the buyback will be completed within 12 months.
A buyback can positively impact share price and EPS, but the impact is medium as it's a relatively small percentage of the total shares outstanding and the total amount is within the company's capacity.
The buyback announcement is positive as it indicates the company's financial health and commitment to returning value to shareholders.
Matrimony.com Limited has announced a buyback of its equity shares through the tender offer route, as per SEBI (Buyback of Securities) Regulations, 2018. The company plans to buy back up to 8,93,129 equity shares, representing approximately 4.14% of the total paid-up equity shares as of March 31, 2025.
The buyback price is set at ₹655 per equity share, payable in cash, for an aggregate amount not exceeding ₹5,850 lakhs (₹585 crore). This buyback aims to return surplus cash to shareholders and enhance shareholder value. The buyback size of ₹585 crore represents 21.68% and 21.81% of the company's paid-up equity share capital and free reserves as of March 31, 2025, which is within the permissible limit of 25%.
The Board of Directors approved the buyback proposal on December 15, 2025. Shareholders approved the buyback through a special resolution via postal ballot with remote e-voting on January 18, 2026, with the results announced on January 20, 2026. The record date for the buyback has been set as January 30, 2026. The promoter and promoter group have expressed their intention not to participate in the buyback.
The buyback is being financed out of the company's free reserves. The company confirms that it has been generating significant amounts of cash and is a debt-free entity, making this buyback aligned with its capital allocation practices. The buyback is expected to be completed within 12 months from the date of the special resolution approving it.
The public announcement of the buyback was published in Financial Express, Makkal Kural, and Jansatta on January 22, 2026. The company's statutory auditors, B.S.R. & Co LLP, have provided a report confirming compliance with the relevant regulations and the company's ability to meet its liabilities.
