Anyone know the Ex Div date for the extra divi in June ?

[nod] 07/4/2017 02:46

The DoW royalties could add 20p to the dividend.

Amount per game with diff deals for diff publishers. Difficult to get precise dets as deals are commercially sensitive. The company now have a dedicated team to exploit the IP; whereas before they were v passive. I think the royalty line will grow but given its variability will make earnings more volatile (and the s/p).

it's £3-5 per sub sold.

Woozle,

Are the game royalties just an amount per game sold? Or is there an upfront fee followed by a fee per game sold?

[cockerhoop] 05/4/2017 18:50

Looking back at my historic royalty figures the last lump (2011 & 2012) coincided with the release of Dawn of War II. So 2017 doesn't look to the year when royalty revenue falls away!

[woozle1] 05/4/2017 18:47

DoW is the big one. We could see £8-9m of royalty income in y/e 2018

Looking good boys!

Dawn of War released 27th April according to Wikipedia! 1st since 2011.

Thanks for the info Woozle1.

If you are right then this should be very good news.

Also i hadn't realised that they have a new game out this year too 'Dawn Of War'.

What a fantastic company this is with solid revenue streams.

[woozle1] 05/4/2017 17:43

Also new Dawn of War this year. That royalty line will be packed and that will be coming back to us dividends. Enjoy.

Woozle,I was discussing the TW2 potential royalties with a friend (who also happens to be the FD of a games software house) over the weekend and he suggested the royalties could be structured in a variety of ways. You're suggesting £3-5 per game sold - is this an estimate or based on evidence you've gleaned from the company or the accounts? Also where's the best source of number of games (physical & downloads) purchased.Cheers

[woozle1] 05/4/2017 17:04

TW has sold 1.4 m user and GW get £3-5 per sale. More good news

[flatoutfred] 27/3/2017 09:44

Geeezz it was hot in Tenerife !!

What's all this about another dividend ?

How much, when and why ?

[love2] 23/3/2017 12:18

Woozle...think its actually £1!20 in april25 october30 january25 march

[woozle1] 23/3/2017 11:26

Since 20th April last year GAW has paid out 90p in dividends .. No bad really .. It seems that this growth is down lots of different initiatives .. Even if they can get 10% top line growth the flow of dividends should continue .. W

[nod] 22/3/2017 19:36

cfro, it's a game for them. That's what they do, they create games :)

[cockerhoop] 22/3/2017 15:13

For anyone buying in Sept/Oct 2016 it's over 15% in 6 months!

[interceptor2] 22/3/2017 15:08

Very nice indeed, would think that GAW would be attractive to income investors. Must be getting on for 10% yield now in the last year?

[love2] 22/3/2017 14:07

30p in jan, 25p march...hope this becomes a regular bi-monthly event.Would assume that the "significant increase" in sales and profits since November has continued since January.
