- Operating profit reached £4.5 million, a substantial recovery from the £33.3 million loss reported in H1 FY24, driven by aggressive cost-cutting measures and the closure of the Frontier Foundry division.

- Revenue increased year-on-year in FY25, and gross profit rose to £63.3 million (up from £61.3 million in FY24), with an improved gross margin of 70% (up from 69% in FY24) due to a greater share of own-IP game revenue.
