Games Workshop has had a mixed year. Sales were stronger in the first half than the second, but cost control and cash management have strengthened throughout the period. We finish the year with the most profit this company has generated since flotation and have returned £18.4 million to our owners.
As for the future, our objective is simple: we will continue to make the best fantasy miniatures in the world and sell them globally at a profit. We intend to do this forever.
The board believes the prospects for this business are good.
Summary of Growth
Reported sales increased by 2.7% to £134.6 million for the year. On a constant currency basis, sales were up by 3.5% from £131.0 million to £135.6 million; progress was achieved in North America (+7.8%), Export (+2.3%), Asia (+10%) and in Other sales businesses (+27.2%) while sales in the UK (-1.4%), Continental Europe (-0.3%) and Australia (-4%) were in decline.
Revenue up, by about inflation, but GW price rises faster than inflation, so volume way down.
To summarize:
This financial year had:
- a new 40k edition with rules and starter box
- a new Hobbit edition with rules and starter box (costing double the price than its predecessor at release, same with miniatures)
- 6 new Codices/Armybooks from January to May (each costing double the price than its predecessor at release)
- Miniature releases with big boxes at ever rising prices (Eldar Titan outside of this financial year though)
Still, the total revenue only managed to stay flat adjusted for inflation. What options have they left to keep revenue flat next year? Another 40k Edition? 2 Codices per month? Quadrupling prices?
Why does Tom Kirby have mixed feelings about this result? Because he still gets one million GBP out of this!
Lets say (guesstimate here, going from the Kickstarters) that Mantics turnover is £5m per year, or 27 times smaller than GW. From Mantic you can get (if you buy the majority off an army in one go) 3-5 times as many models for the same price as GW. Scaling that up it would be the equivalent of Mantic eating away £15-25m of sales from GW, which in terms of volume of models sold Mantic would only be 5.5-9 times smaller than GW. Now that's just Mantic, and there are all sorts of other companies starting up and remaining in business year in year out showing a clear growth in the market, but from which GW is not drawing any extra revenue.
