Edison Investment Research

Update: Building momentum

Gaming Realmsâ€™ 2015 final results show a business that continues to build momentum, as revenues more than doubled to Â£21.2m (2014 pro forma: Â£9.8m). Growth is being driven by its real money and social gaming (including licensing) verticals, which were up 362% and 294%, respectively. Gaming Realms also recently announced that it has extended its licensing deal with Scientific Games to land-based gaming machines as part of its strategy of taking the Slingo brand into adjacent markets. 2015 adjusted EBITDA losses fell by 30% to Â£4.1m and the Q1 trading update (revenues up 100% y-o-y) supports our view that the company can break even at the EBITDA level this year.

Games Workshop Group - A notable acceleration in Q225

Games Workshop Group’s (GAW’s) H125 trading update suggests the company enjoyed a strong Q225 in both its core business (due to the launch of the fourth edition of Age of Sigmar midway through Q125) and licensing (due to the success of the Space Marine 2 video game). These are impressive in the context of the tough comparative from the prior year’s launch of the new edition of Warhammer 40K (40K) and the currency headwinds in the early part of H125. We upgrade our profit estimates for FY25 (by 7%) and FY26 (by 3%) to reflect the outperformance versus our prior expectations.
