Frontier Developments reported a 26% revenue increase to £59.6 million and a 76% rise in adjusted operating profit to £9.7 million for H1 FY26, driven primarily by the launch of Jurassic World Evolution 3.
Jurassic World Evolution 3 accounted for 90% of total revenue in H1 FY26, while Planet Zoo became the company's highest-grossing individual title.
The Board upgraded full-year FY26 guidance to approximately £100 million in revenue and £11 million in adjusted operating profit, supported by strong seasonal sales momentum.
Cash reserves grew 47% year-on-year to £40.1 million, even after executing a £10 million share buy-back that increased earnings per share to 21.4p.
Gross margin declined from 70% to 64% due to a higher proportion of revenue generated from royalty-bearing intellectual property.
CEO Jonny Watts stepped down on 1 January 2026 and was succeeded by Jo Cooke, with Watts remaining as an Executive Director until 31 May 2026.
The company remains debt-free and maintains a pipeline of Creative Management Simulation (CMS) titles scheduled for release in FY27 and FY28.
