TRADING UPDATE ON CLOSE OF FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 2 JUNE 2019
Following the close of its 2018/19 financial year Games Workshop
provides the following trading highlights:
Games Workshop is pleased to announce that the sales and profit
growth, which was discussed in the trading update released on 12
April 2019, has continued in the period to the end of the financial
year. Sales growth has been across all sales channels.
We expect the Group's sales for the year to 2 June 2019 to be
approximately GBP254 million and the Group's profit before tax to
be not less than GBP80 million. Royalties receivable from licensing
are approximately GBP11 million. As in the prior year, in
recognition of our staff's contribution to these results, we paid
during the year profit share bonuses amounting in total to GBP5
million. These were paid on an equal basis to each member of
staff.
In accordance with our ongoing dividend policy of distributing
truly surplus cash to shareholders when it becomes available, a
dividend of 35 pence per share was paid to shareholders on 31 May
2019, bringing the total paid in the financial year up to GBP1.55
per share (2018: GBP1.26 per share).
We will provide detailed information on the audited results for
the 2018/19 financial year at the time of our full year results
announcement on 30 July 2019.
