Financial Results

Every year we depreciate the stadium, so the final figure will look like a loss (on paper).

We could not depreciate the stadium and pay a fat chunk of corporation tax instead if not doing so put us in profit.
So it'll probably be a good few years before we have a CT bill

Plus this part of the loss is not counted towards FFP so we are not close to falling foul of that.

Excellent news, as long as Levy is around I don't think we need to fear breaching FFP.
 
Interestingggg, Man U being given special favours?
Two minute video:

I posted the same video in the new Premier league thread. The timing of deductions Untied want is dodgy, as they had virtually zero in the actual Covid years. But the rules are set by the club's themselves, and each club has a vote.
Afais, what United have done is within the rules, it's just that the timing of it seems weird. Questions definitely need to be asked.

That said, the rules are obviously not good enough and need tightening. But the club's have refused to close several loopholes, such as Chelsea's inter-club sales to themselves etc.

Nothings been given yet. Teams don't hand over their financial records to the prem till december. The prem make a decision in jan.

The reason we know about man utd is because they are on the new york stock exchange and have to post quarterly results. So it looks like they will try to include special exclusions.

We'll have to see what happens.

The clubs wanted the wording changed to be more specific. Spurs are building loads of housing around the stadium. If we rent them out or sell them should that not be part of our revenue, count towards psr? Chelsea selling to themselves, or possibly selling their training ground to themselves, or clubs selling their stadium to themselves should not count.

We know what will happen.... They will be given a little inconsequential slap on the wrist.

If it's a psr breach the standard has been set. Points deduction.

The prem might accept the one off exclusions. If they don't though. It's an independent trinbunal.
 
Posted last week - financial results for last 10 years + value of the club analysed


Nice. But it touched on at the end of the vid. Price is determined by demand and supply. What enic is willing to sell for, what someone is willing to pay. Everything else is just negotiation.

  • Total Revenue and Other income decreased to £528.2m
  • Profit from Operations (EBITDA) increased to £144.9m
  • Loss after Tax decreased to £26.2m

Loss for the period26.286.8


  • Total Revenue for the year decreased by 4% to £528.2m (2023: £549.6m)
    • Match receipts of £105.8m (2023: £117.6m) due to nine fewer home games than prior year.
    • UEFA prize money was £1.3m (2023: £56.2m) reflecting the difference between not participating in European competition in the current year and reaching the Champions League Round of 16 in the prior year. The prize money in the period is a final account payment relating to the prior season’s competition.
    • TV and Media revenues were £165.9m (2023: £148.1m) driven by the Premier League broadcast deal and a higher finishing position in the Premier League of 5th (2023: 8th position).
    • Commercial revenues and other income from sponsorship, merchandising and other income such as third-party events, visitor attractions, pre-season tour and conference and events increased to £255.2m (2023: £227.7m).
  • Operating expenses (before football trading) decreased by 7% to £453.6m (2023: £487.9m) principally due to fewer football matches and third-party events.

  • Profit from Operations before depreciation, amortisation, player trading, interest and taxation increased by 4% to £144.9m (2023: £138.7m).

  • The loss for the year after depreciation, amortisation, player trading, interest and taxation was £26.2m (2023: £86.8m).

  • Our net debt as of 30 June 2024 was £772.5m (2023: £677.4m). Over 90% of our financial borrowings of £851.5m are at fixed rates, with an average interest rate of 2.79%. The average maturity of all our borrowings is 18.6 years, some of which stretch until 2051, ensuring limited impact on the Club’s ability to invest in the playing squad.

  • As with prior years no dividends have been paid.

Men’s Football​

Ange Postecoglou’s first season in charge saw us finish in fifth place in the Premier League. Chris Davies left at the end of the season to become manager at Birmingham City FC and Nick Montgomery and Sergio Raimundo joined the coaching staff for the 2024/25 season with Matt Wells promoted to senior assistant coach.
Our summer 2023 signings of Luka Vuskovic, Brennan Johnson, Alejo Veliz, Micky van de Ven, Ashley Phillips, Manor Solomon, James Maddison, Guglielmo Vicario, Pedro Porro and Dejan Kulusevski were joined by Radu Dragusin and Timo Werner in the January window. Archie Gray joined in June 2024. Outside of this period Dominic Solanke, Wilson Odobert and Lucas Bergvall joined in the summer of 2024 followed by Antonin Kinsky, Yang Min-hyeok, Kevin Danso and Mathys Tel in the January transfer window.
 

Non-football revenue operations​

Multiple commercial partnerships were announced during this period – including new Training Wear Partner, Bet MGM and Shirt Sleeve Partner, Kraken.

We were granted planning permission to allow up to 30 major non-football events at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium per calendar year. It was also confirmed during the period that the stadium will host matches for the Euro 2028 tournament.

The Club and NFL announced an expansion of our partnership through to the 2029 - 2030 NFL season.

F1 DRIVE – London opened to the public in February 2024 and has been hugely popular, welcoming over 20,000 visitors in its first year.

All these revenues are re-invested in the Men’s and Women’s squads and contribute towards our ability to operate within the Profit and Sustainability Rules of the Premier League.

Off the pitch​

We retained our status as the Premier League’s greenest club, achieving ISO 20121 certification - the globally recognised standard for sustainable event management.

The Club construction spend on the planned Hotel next to the stadium in the financial period was circa £3m. The Hotel will need to be part of a significantly larger development with other external stakeholders. This is a long-term project which would be nonrecourse to the Club and be part of the redevelopment of High Road West as well as other sites.

End of year results at our Club-sponsored school, the LAET, continued to impress with 37% of grades either A* or A with 72% A*-B - both significantly above national averages - and the majority of students once again winning places at Russell Group universities or going on to competitive apprenticeships. In the past summer, 27 students won places at Oxford or Cambridge University, with two securing places for Harvard University. We are proud of our contribution to raising education standards locally.

Our Foundation impact report for this financial period demonstrated £20.4 million of social value for residents of Haringey, Enfield and surrounding London boroughs - equating to £8.04 of social value for every £1 invested. The Foundation delivered 7,672 sessions last year with more than half of those supported being children and young people. We held two jobs fairs at the stadium during this period, attracting over 3,000 local people.

The Club has maintained its hugely popular community ticket scheme, ensuring local residents and community organisations continue to experience events at the stadium through the provision of complimentary tickets.

Chairman’s Statement​

"As we announce our financial results for the year to 30 June 2024, we currently find ourselves in 14th position in the Premier League, navigating what has been a highly challenging season on the pitch. We are, however, in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Europa League. Winning this competition would see welcome silverware and mean qualification for the UEFA Champions League. We must do everything we can to support the team in these final key stages.

“Since opening our new stadium in April 2019, we have invested over £700 million net in player acquisitions. Recruitment remains a key focus, and we must ensure that we make smart purchases within our financial means. I often read calls for us to spend more, given that we are ranked as the ninth richest club in the world. However, a closer examination of today’s financial figures reveals that such spending must be sustainable in the long term and within our operating revenues. Our capacity to generate recurring revenues determines our spending power. We cannot spend what we do not have, and we will not compromise the financial stability of this club – indeed, our off-pitch revenues have significantly supplemented the lower football revenues this year, testament to our diversified income strategy.

“I want to thank everyone who supports us through good times and bad. We are resilient and passionate about our Club. We shall aim to finish this season as strongly as we can and continue to build for success on the pitch.”

Daniel Levy

Got to love the dig about supporting through good and bad times. That’s going to ruffle a few feathers 😀

Though equally we cut £30m off our annual recurring wage bill.


For me the interesting figure is the £55m drop in revenue from not having European football. That is massive. And we're looking at losing that for the second time in three years now.

No no no. Net spend is a thing of the past, no longer relevant (now that it looks good). It’s all about the wage/revenue ratio now.

Lol.
Only 23 years and that £30m off the wage bill will pay for the transfers.

The way you need to look at that is 'missing Out' is not such a hammer blow due to our other income streams.....many that are bemoaned and mocked.
