Trading Update
Frontier Developments plc (AIM: FDEV, "Frontier", the "Company")
, a leading developer and publisher of videogames based in
Cambridge, provides a scheduled update on trading for the financial
year ended 31 May 2020 ("FY20").
Following the trading update on 20 May 2020 which confirmed a
strong finish to the financial year, Frontier expects to report
revenue of approximately GBP76 million for FY20 when full financial
results are announced in September 2020. Operating profit, as
reported under IFRS, is anticipated to be at least GBP16 million,
subject to audit, which would equate to an operating profit margin
of approximately 21%.
We start FY21 (the financial year ending 31 May 2021)
confidently, based on our attractive portfolio of existing titles,
our exciting development and publishing roadmaps, and our skilled,
passionate and growing team of people who are doing a terrific job
during these challenging times, continuing to work from home.
On 3 June 2020 we unveiled Elite Dangerous: Odyssey , which is
our major new paid-for update for Elite Dangerous, coming in Q1
calendar 2021 (in FY21). Elite Dangerous: Odyssey marks the birth
of a highly anticipated new era for the long running definitive
space simulation, allowing players to touch down on countless new
planets powered by stunning new tech, and explore with unrestricted
freedom from a first person, feet-on-the-ground perspective,
something we know many players are keen to see.
FY21 will also see the release of genre leading Planet Coaster
on the PlayStation and Xbox consoles, and the first two game
releases from Frontier's third party publishing initiative. A
further three third party games have already been signed for FY22
and there is scope for more. Five or six third party game releases
per year are expected from FY23 onwards.
Full financial results for FY20 are expected to be announced on
Wednesday 9 September 2020.
David Braben, Frontier's Chief Executive, said:
"I'd like to thank our fantastic team for their achievements
during the last financial year, particularly through the ongoing
challenges of the Covid-19 situation.
We are well positioned going forward with great visibility of a
fantastic range of projects over the next few years, both internal
and external. We've started FY21 strongly with our current
portfolio of games continuing to do very well. In this financial
year we also have Planet Coaster coming to consoles and we plan to
announce and release two great third party games. In addition, we
have Elite Dangerous: Odyssey putting boots on the ground in Q1
calendar 2021.
Our future is more exciting than ever and we look forward to
working with all our great partners over the coming years."
