Games Workshop has said that profit for the year to 31 May 2015 will be in line with market expectations while retail and trade sales will see a small decline.

The retailer, which runs over 400 shops, said it had experienced modest sales growth at constant currency in its core trade and mail order channels. However, it saw a small decline in its own stores due to continued difficult trading in Continental Europe following a restructuring last year.

Games Workshop said the effect of the non-core activities and the continuing effects of unfavourable exchange rates meant that its reported retail and trade sales are likely to show respective declines of around 5% and 3%. Mail order growth was around 5%.

The retailer will release its full-year results on 28 July.
