EARNINGS: Frontier Developments turns to loss

[Ricardo]

Worse results, less money for development - I guess we'll wait for the next big patch for beloved Elite Dangerous...

Frontier Developments PLC - Cambridge-based video games developer and publisher - For the financial year that ended May 31, reports pretax loss of £26.5 million, swung from a profit of £944,000 a year prior. Revenue falls to £104.6 million from £114.0 million. Research and development expenses increase 47% to £67.9 million from £46.2 million. Looking ahead, says financial 2024 started solidly, but notes worse than expected sales for Formula 1-focused video game F1 Manager 2023. Frontier expects revenue to grow 3.3% to £108 million in financial 2024, in line with market expectations. Further, it anticipates an adjusted loss before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation of £9 million, widened by 96% from £4.6 million in financial 2023. ‘The big new game release for [financial] 2024 is still to come, with Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin scheduled for release in November 2023. Our marketing campaign for launch kicked off strongly with our presence at Gamescom at the end of August,’ the company says.

I think its better if we just play the game and let FD worry about the financials.

Precisely! They sell us the game, not brokerage accounts.
