According to the financial report for the half year up to December 1, 2024, Games Workshop recorded a turnover of £ 299.5 million (approx. $ 366.2 million), which corresponds to an increase of 20.9% compared to the previous year. The operational profit grew by $ 33.1 million (approx. $ 154.1 million), with the majority of sales in the core segment. This segment reached a turnover of £ 269.4 million (approx. $ 331.2 million), which corresponds to an increase of 14.3% in the period of the previous year. The licensing income rose by 2.5 times to £ 30.1 million (approx. $ 36.8 million). CEO Kevin Rountree described the past half of the year as the best in the company's history. Last but not least, these positive developments are thanks to the high sales of “Space Marine 2”, which not only had over 2 million units for the launch, but also a total of more than 5 million unique players. Despite the impressive growth, Games workshop was careful about future licensing income. While the company continues to cooperate with Saber Interactive, no official announcements have yet been made for a potential continuation of "Space Marine 2". However, the upcoming release of a new edition of the first "Space Marine" video game from 2011 on June 10th could give further impulses. In addition, Games workshop works with Amazon on a series adaptation of "Warhammer 40,000", in which Henry Cavill will participate. These strategic steps underline the company's ambitions to expand its influence beyond the tabletop business when it comes to achieving new target groups and further promoting growth. successful licenses and product sales
