英国动画工作室Aardman在2025财年未能按计划重返盈利1。尽管营收增长8%至2040万英镑，公司仍录得110万英镑的净亏损，较前一财年的410万英镑亏损有所收窄1。公司表示，制作延期和儿童内容市场疲软是导致业绩不佳的主要原因1。
为应对经营压力，Aardman已大幅削减人员。公司员工总数从297人下降至230人，其中永久员工从128人减至110人1。公司在2026年初启动战略审查，涉及进一步的裁员措施1。此外，Aardman在风险评估中将人工智能列为业务的主要风险1。
尽管财务表现欠佳，公司旗舰作品《Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl》取得显著成就，获得2项BAFTA奖，并获得奥斯卡最佳动画长片提名1。该片还创造英国电视台的收视纪录，成为自2002年以来最受欢迎的动画电影1。Aardman成立于1970年代初期，总部位于英国Bristol，并于2018年转变为员工持股公司1。
British animation studio Aardman reported mixed financial results for the 2025 fiscal year, with revenues growing 8% to £20.4 million but the company remaining unprofitable 1. Despite the increase in sales, Aardman recorded a net loss of £1.1 million, though this represented a significant improvement from the previous year's £4.1 million deficit 1. The studio attributed the shortfall to production delays and weakness in the children's content market 1.
The company underwent substantial restructuring, reducing its workforce from 297 to 230 employees, including a decline in permanent staff from 128 to 110 1. Looking ahead, Aardman announced plans for a strategic review in early 2026 involving multiple rounds of redundancies 1. In its financial filings, the studio identified artificial intelligence as a principal business risk 1.
Despite the financial challenges, Aardman achieved notable creative success with "Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl," which secured two BAFTA Awards and earned a nomination for Best Animated Feature Film at the Academy Awards 1. The film set a record as the most-watched animated movie broadcast on British television since 2002 1.
