Games Workshop posts record results

Nottingham-based Games Workshop is in “great shape” as it posts its half year results this morning (9 January).

Revenue for the six months to 26 November was up from £70.9m in 2016 to £108.9m, while profits rose from £13.8m to £38.8m.

Kevin Rountree, chief executive of Games Workshop, said: “Our business and our Warhammer Hobby are in great shape.

“We are pleased to report record sales and profit levels in the period. It is encouraging that sales and profit growth continue across all regions and channels. Given the high levels of operational gearing and our relentless management of our costs, our improving sales performance has translated into record profit and cash levels.

“Our sales for the month of December have also shown good growth trends.”
