Team17 revenue rose 11% during H1 2024
Team17 has released its financial results for the first half of 2024, with the firm reporting a 11% increase in revenue to £80.6 million.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024:
Team17 experienced growth across its business operations, including a 18% increase in EBITDA from £16.5 million in H1 2023 to £19.4 million. It also saw a 53% rise in profit before tax from £8.1 million to £12.4 million.

Educational games studio StoryToys revenue experienced growth of 23% to £10.9 million, while active subscribers grew from over 310,000 in H1 2023 to more than 350,000.
