    [url=http://investor.games-workshop.com/2015/01/13/half-yearly-report-2014/]And here it is[/url].

    At constant currency - £1,000,000 down on takings compared to the same period last year, and by my (not necessarily accurate) working out, that's 98.3%.

    Beyond that, it's all Greek to me.

    The fact that these numbers includes a new edition of their flag ship must have them ****ting themselves

    I guess.

    Would need to look back at the previous 40k releases to see what sort of impact it normally has.

    Well indeed, but the previous results might show the sort of spike you'd expect to see.

    Quick skim, the figures are ok.

    I mean they are still making a profit, but as dab says, you would expect a spike owing to the rulebook splash.

    They try and "hide" some of the lessened profits because of currency strength.

    It also seems to show that the weekly release model hasn't actually got hobbyists buying more.

    Cost of sales has increased (one of the few figures that has!)

    I think I would rather see the company re-invest rather than pay out a dividened.

    No rulebook spike and sales not that much down does seem to confirm that the main customers are collectors rather than players.

    Oh and small increase in mail order sales, is this a result of the GW only products? Possibly, though realistically the increase is too small to say.
