II Article on Frontier's Trading Update

(03/07)

"The update prompted an 8% share price jump and another flurry of positive broker comment today. Peel Hunt, for example, lifted its Jurassic World sales forecast by 250,000 units to two million in the 2019 financial year and said less discounting should increase average revenues per unit by £3 to £29."

"'The final full year 2019 profit outcome is clearly heavily geared into Jurassic World Evolution's success and investors will continue to focus on the franchise through this year. But the bigger prize is the delivery of a multi-franchise gaming strategy and £100m plus of annual revenues,' adds Liberum, pointing out that within the industry, Frontier is viewed as a world class games publisher.

The company's credentials have not gone unnoticed. Last summer, Chinese internet-to-interactive entertainment titan Tencent invested £17.7m in Frontier in return for a 9% stake, to enable the business to not only attack the gargantuan Chinese market but also to scale-up by increasing the frequency of major releases."

Cambridge News: Boom Time for Frontier

"Recently, broker forecasts had earmarked similar sales to that of Frontier's previous game PlanetCoaster, which always looked somewhat on the overly cautious side. Indeed, Liberum has this morning been quick off the mark highlighting the point and moving to a higher number of unit sales for JWE in the first year. This has seen it raise from Planet Coaster's 1.4m year sales figure to 1.75m given the strong brand awareness for JWE along with its being released on three platforms, PC, Xbox One and Playstation as opposed to the formers one. On that basis, full year revenue from all games for Frontier is now pencilled in by the broker at £61m providing for a pre-tax profit of £14.5m. However, given that the original book sold some nine million copies and an existing mobile game has had over 20m downloads, then it is surely conceivable that much greater numbers could be achieved for JWE ,which would make for a marked difference on profits."
