Games Workshop is the largest and the most successful tabletop fantasy and futuristic battle-games company in the world. Our major brands are Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000. In addition, we hold a global licence from New Line Cinema for a tabletop battle-game based on director Peter Jackson's BAFTA and Academy award winning film trilogy, The Lord of the Rings.

Our business is about helping mighty armies to meet headlong on the field of battle. At our HQ in Nottingham, in the UK, we design, manufacture and retail the vast range of Citadel Miniatures plastic and metal soldiers and rulebooks, which are the foundation of an almost infinite hobby. The UK manufacturing operation in Nottingham is complemented by a production facility at our despatch warehouse in Memphis, TN, USA.

At the heart of the Hobby are the millions of gamers aged 12 upwards, who spend many of their waking hours collecting, creating, painting and building up the armies which they will go on to command on a carefully prepared table top battlefield.
Tabletop wargaming

It's all about two people facing each other across a battlefield, each attempting to move their models into position to fire upon their opponent's force or attack them in hand-to-hand combat. The victor is decided by a combination of skill and luck with the players rolling dice to determine whether an arrow hits or a foe is struck down.

The Company

Games Workshop is a publicly quoted company with direct sales operations in the UK, the United States, Canada, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Japan and Australia. With over 70% of sales coming from outside of the UK the Group is now truly international. GW remains a vertically integrated company, retaining control over every aspect of design, manufacture, distribution and retail of our models and rulebooks. Products are sold through our own chain of 340+ Hobby centres and by more than 3,700 independent toy and hobby shops around the world. These outlets are complemented by our growing mail order and online sales businesses.

Games Workshop spiked up to a new high of 715p yesterday, before falling back to 672p today. The shares are now up around 60% on a year ago, marking great progress in a recovery that started back in mid-2008 -- the current price is more than five-and-a-half times the low point of that year.

And there could be more to come, as current analyst forecasts suggest a dividend yield of more than 6.5% for the year to May 2013, though that would be barely covered by forecast earnings.

up 7%

Article in this weeks share magazine - Peel Hunts Charles Hall has comnservatively pencilled in an 8% taxable profits advance to £21 million and a 2% earnings per share increase to 47.6p, ahead of £ 22.5 million and 50p respectively by end-May 2014. His 750p price target implies 11.5% near-term upside, although upgrades to this and next years numbers could nudge the shares even higher. Based on a dividend estimate of 45p, a 6.7% yield only adds to the stocks attraction.

GAW share tip in shares publication this week. The fantasy toy maker has a strong physical presence and is now growing its internet business, which still only accounts for 10% of sales. The 6.7% yield is also attractive.

Thanks dreamcather and, just so you that know other people read this one, I have been into GAW for some time. Great cash generator and a company that appears to run itself well and to have the interests of shareholders firmly in focus.

Thanks for your thoughts scimitar.

A tip in IC, 10.4% revenue hike helped support the company's hefty half-year profit rise. That was despite an 85% slide in royalty income, while strong cash generation gave a healthy dividend payment.The North American operation performed best- constant currency sales there jumped 16.2% to £17.9m. The UK unit also performed well, with constant currency sales rising 6.8% to£15.8m. Struggling continental Europe sales rose 3.9% to £21.3m. Under performing hobby centres have been closed and relocations to cheaper one-man sites. Chief executive Mark Wells is stepping down, chairman Tom Kirby will take on both roles until a new chief exec is found. Mr wells is credited for improving the groups operating performance. GW now needs a person to take the business forwards. The broker (Peel Hunt) expects full-year adjusted pre-tax profit of £21m, giving EPS of 47.6p (from £19.5m and 46.6p in 2012)

Tom Kirby, chairman and acting CEO of Games Workshop, said:

We finish the year with the most profit this company has generated since flotation and have returned £18.4 million to our owners."

Games Workshop puts the (war) hammer down
By John Harrington July 30 2013, 3:25pm Royalty income was down from £3.5 million to £1.0 million but the company said it expected a significant decline.Royalty income was down from £3.5 million to £1.0 million but the company said it expected a significant decline.

Table-top miniatures gaming company Games Workshop (LON:GAW) had a record breaking year for profits, despite sales slowing in the second half.

Profit before tax was £21.4mln in the year to 2 June, a figure that dwarfed the previous year’s figure of £19.5mln.

The group’s fantasy and science fiction based miniature war games remain steadfastly popular and hobbit-forming, resulting in revenue advancing to £134.6mln from £131.0mln the previous year.

The balance sheet is also in good elf, with cash and cash equivalents at the end of the reporting period standing at £13.93mln, versus £17.36mln a year earlier, despite the company returning £18.4mln to shareholders during the year.

The full year dividend was hacked to 56p from 63p in the prior year.

“Games Workshop has had a mixed year. Sales were stronger in the first half than the second, but cost control and cash management have strengthened throughout the period. We finish the year with the most profit this company has generated since flotation and have returned £18.4 million to our owners,” said Tom Kirby, chairman and acting chief executive officer.

“As for the future, our objective is simple: we will continue to make the best fantasy miniatures in the world and sell them globally at a profit. We intend to do this forever.

“The board believes the prospects for this business are good,” Kirby concluded.

House broker Peel Hunt said profits were slightly ahead of expectations, with a lower tax charge causing an 8% beat on the broker’s post-tax forecast.

“The company is coming towards the end of a major transformation programme and is looking increasingly well positioned. Return on capital is already mightily impressive and a stronger top line would deliver significant upside to our forecasts. The strong cash generation should ensure further attractive dividends,” Peel Hunt analyst Charles Hall said.

Hall has increased his target price from 750p to 820p. Shares currently trade at around 784p, down 0.8% on the day.

IC today -

Games Workshop is a well-run business that rewards its investors. Last year it returned £18.4m in the form of dividends, which generated a yield of 7.4 per cent. That said, the share price is up 84 per cent since our buy tip (423p, 27 Aug 2010), and 17 per cent in 2013. Trading on a forward PE ratio just shy of 16 is pretty high for a retailer, so we are cutting our recommendation to hold.

Half Yearly Report
http://www.moneyam.com/action/news/showArticle?id=4739989

Down 25% today .

There was an amazing amount of selling in big trades [three each of 175,000 shares for example] on 15 January 2014, starting at 1228h. Those sales got a price of around 715p. On 16 January, when the company provided its formal half year report, the share price was much reduced [down about 20%], presumably because of the unusually large sales on the day before the half yearly report was made available.
This is either a remarkable coincidence or an example of something that is supposed to be to be illegal, isn't it?

One solid company in a league of their own. With the games now being made onto films and computer games this brand will surely go from strength to strength.

Income champion  
Last year, the then-Chancellor George Osborne brought in new dividend tax rules, which introduced a new 7.5% dividend tax for any dividend income over £5,000 received by a taxpayer within the fiscal year.  This change has made ISAs even more attractive for sheltering dividend income from the tax man, and it also means ISAs wrappers are the best place to hide high dividend stocks such as Games Workshop (LSE:GAW). 
Games Workshop is one of the London's dividend champions. The fantasy game group throws off an enormous amount of cash, thanks to its operating profit margin of nearly 15%. Most of the cash generated from operations is returned to investors via dividends. Indeed, during the past five years, the company has paid out nearly 100% of earnings per share to investors via dividends. 
For the year ending 31 May 2017, City analysts are expecting the group to pay a total dividend per share of 50p, a yield of 5.8% at current prices.  To get the most out of this payout and avoid Osborne's dividend tax, it's best to own Games Workshop in an ISA.
