Company expects lower revenue due to sales shortfall

  • Frontier Developments shares fell 18% after revenue warning
  • Lower sales of ‘Realms of Ruin’ contributed to revenue miss
  • Company expects revenue of £80-£95 million, below market forecasts
  • Adjusted loss before tax expected to be around £9 million

Frontier Developments shares dropped 18% after the company announced that it will miss market revenue forecasts. The lower-than-expected sales of ‘Realms of Ruin’ contributed to the revenue shortfall. The U.K. video-game developer expects revenue for the year to be between £80 million and £95 million, which is below market forecasts of £108 million. However, the company anticipates meeting market expectations for an adjusted loss before tax of around £9 million if it achieves the upper end of its revenue guidance, thanks to its cost-reduction strategy.
