Financewatch: GW’s Trading Statement
If you love reading the tea leaves on Games Workshop, their latest news will keep you quite busy!
First up the first 6 month fiscal Trading Statement that somehow flew under the radar for a couple weeks:
Games Workshop Group PLC announces that trading in the six months to 30 November 2014 at constant currency has been broadly in line with the Board’s expectations and 2013/14 first half performance.
The Company has been exposed to the continuing strength of sterling, particularly against the US dollar and euro in the period reported. The adverse impact in the six months to 30 November 2014 will result in operating profit at actual rates being approximately £1 million lower than 2013/14 first half performance.
The Company’s half yearly report for the six months to 30 November 2014 will be released on 14 January 2015.
