FY25 Trading Update: Strong Results and Increased Momentum

Frontier Developments plc reports a modest revenue rise to £90.6 million for FY25, up from £89.3 million in FY24, driven by a 25 % year‑on‑year increase in its Creative Management Simulation (CMS) titles. The three flagship CMS franchises—Planet Coaster, Planet Zoo and Jurassic World Evolution—accounted for 77 % of total revenue in FY25, a jump from 62 % the previous year.

Profitability improved sharply; Adjusted EBITDA is projected between £8 million and £9 million, compared with a £0.9 million profit in FY24, thanks to higher gross margins, reduced operating costs and a £3.5 million gain from selling publishing rights to Stranded: Alien Dawn. Adjusted Operating Profit, a new metric effective FY26 that incorporates tax credits and reliefs, is expected to reach £11 million‑£12 million in FY25.

Cash position strengthened, with cash on hand rising to £42.5 million from £29.5 million at the end of FY24, supporting a planned share buyback up to £10 million pending shareholder approval. The board also announced the creation of an Executive Board to streamline decision‑making and highlighted the upcoming release of Jurassic World Evolution 3 on 21 October 2025 as a key growth driver.
