OpenAI UK Ltd reported turnover of 293 million pounds for 2025, nearly quadrupling from 79.2 million pounds in 2024. The London subsidiary posted pre-tax profit of 31.7 million pounds and post-tax profit of 20.3 million pounds, with a tax charge of 11.4 million pounds. Staff costs reached 258 million pounds for an average of 110 employees, equating to roughly 2.3 million pounds per head, including 167.8 million pounds in share-based compensation. Research and development spending climbed to 117.8 million pounds, up from 48.2 million pounds the prior year. The company operates under a cost-plus recharge arrangement with its US parent, OpenAI PBC, rather than generating profit from direct sales to UK customers.
