Annual Report 2025 details a landmark financial year for Games Workshop, characterized by record-breaking growth and the company’s promotion to the FTSE 100. For the 2024/25 period, total revenue rose to £617.5 million, with profit before taxation reaching £262.8 million. This performance was driven by a 14.2% increase in core sales—particularly within the trade channel and North American markets—and a near-doubling of licensing operating profit to £49.5 million, bolstered by the exceptional success of the *Space Marine 2* video game.
The company continues to leverage a vertically integrated model, expanding its global footprint to 570 retail stores across 24 countries and an independent retailer network spanning 71 nations. To support this growth, significant capital investments are underway, including the construction of a fourth manufacturing facility by 2026 and a comprehensive IT systems overhaul slated for completion by 2029. While navigating macroeconomic challenges such as projected tariff impacts and supply chain disruptions, the Group maintained a robust liquidity position with £132.6 million in cash and distributed a record £20 million in profit-sharing to its workforce.
Strategic priorities have shifted toward long-term value alignment, evidenced by a new remuneration policy that introduces share-based compensation for executives and a "Triennial Share Award" linked to revenue and profit targets. Sustainability remains a core focus; despite a rise in total emissions driven by global freight, the company surpassed its 2032 reduction targets for Scope 1 and 2 emissions through facility electrification. Looking forward, the Group is prioritizing internal talent development, digital engagement through Warhammer+, and a potential media partnership with Amazon to further scale the brand's global reach.
