TRADING STATEMENT

For the period from 16 January 2017 to 26 February 2017

For immediate release                                                                  6 March 2017

Games Workshop is pleased to announce that the sales and profit growth, that was discussed in the January 2017 trading update, continues.  Income from royalties receivable is also ahead of expectations.  In light of the above, profits for 2016/17 are likely to be materially above market expectations. 

Sales and profits have further benefitted from the continuing favourable impact of the weaker pound.  However, the Board remains aware that there is some uncertainty in the trading periods ahead for the rest of the 2016/17 financial year.  A further update will be given as appropriate.
