Games Workshop Reports Record Profits, Shares £20 Million Bonus with Staff

The Warhammer maker warns its record £50 million licensing revenue this year may not be repeated, tempering robust financial results.

The Nottingham-based maker of tabletop games and figurines floated on the London Stock Exchange in 1994 and was promoted to the FTSE 100 in December

Overview

  • Games Workshop is distributing £20 million in profit-sharing bonuses equally among staff, up from £18 million last year.
  • The company expects revenues of at least £560 million and pre-tax profits of £255 million for the financial year ending June 1, 2025.
  • Licensing income surged to a record £50 million, driven by video games like 'Space Marine 2' and an Amazon adaptation deal for Warhammer films and TV.
  • Management cautioned that this year’s exceptional licensing gains are unlikely to be replicated in the next financial year.
  • The Nottingham-based company, which joined the FTSE 100 last year, operates over 550 stores worldwide and continues to grow its core product sales.
