(Alliance News) - Games Workshop Group PLC on Wednesday announced a dividend of 45 pence per share and said trading in the third quarter of its financial year was in line with expectations.
The wargames manufacturer and retailer said, however, that this was in the context of the majority of its UK and European retail stores subjected to Covid-19 closures and distribution disruption during the period.
Games Workshop closed down 7.2% at 9,445.00 pence each in London.
This will be the fourth dividend payment this financial year for FTSE 250-listed Games Workshop which has already paid out 140 pence per share so far. It said the dividend is in line with its policy of distributing "truly surplus cash". In the 2020 financial year, it paid out a total of 145 pence per share.
Games Workshop's financial year ends in May. It said it plans to issue a full year trading update the following month.
