HALF YEAR TRADING UPDATE AND DIVIDEND
Games Workshop Group PLC announces a half year trading update
for the six months to 2 December 2018. Preliminary estimates
indicate sales of c. GBP124 million in the first six months of
2018/19 and an operating profit of c. GBP41 million. These results
are in line with expectations for the year ending 2 June 2019
although the Board is aware that it is still early in the 2018/19
financial year.
These results show the Warhammer Hobby is in great shape in our
core markets. We have built on the progress we made last year and
the results are considerable given the backdrop of major projects;
increasing factory capacity and ERP system implementation.
Games Workshop Group PLC announces that the Board has today
declared a dividend of 30 pence per share, in line with the
Company's policy of distributing truly surplus cash. This will be
paid on 25 January 2019 for shareholders on the register at 21
