Revenue Analysis
Commercial
Commercial revenue for the quarter was £78.5 million, a decrease of £6.6 million, or 7.8%, over the prior year quarter.
- Sponsorship revenue was £37.2 million, a decrease of £5.8 million, or 13.5%, over the prior year quarter, primarily due to the Club's training kit sponsorship agreement with Tezos in the prior year, which ended before the start of the 2025/26 season.
- Retail, Merchandising, Apparel Product Licensing revenue was £41.3 million, a decrease of £0.8 million, or 1.9%, over the prior year quarter.
Broadcasting
Broadcasting revenue for the quarter was £62.3 million, an increase of £0.7 million, or 1.1%, over the prior year quarter, due to the men's first team estimating a higher Premier League finishing position for the 2025/26 season versus the 2024/25 season, combined with an increased value of the Premier League's latest international broadcasting rights cycle. These increases are mostly offset by the men's first team not participating in UEFA competitions in the current year, compared to the UEFA Europa League in the prior year.
Matchday
Matchday revenue for the quarter was £49.5 million, a decrease of £2.5 million, or 4.8%, over the prior year quarter, primarily due to playing three fewer home cup matches in the current quarter, compared to the prior year quarter, partially offset by improved performance of our matchday revenue function over the seven league home matches played.
Other Financial Information

Other operating expenses
Other operating expenses for the quarter were £39.2 million, a decrease of £6.5 million, or 14.2%, over the prior year quarter, primarily due to the impact of the club's cost reduction programs and reduced matchday costs as a result of playing three fewer home matches in the current year quarter, compared to the prior year quarter.

Depreciation for the quarter was £5.0 million, compared to £4.3 million in the prior year quarter.

The unamortized balance of registrations at 31 December 2025 was £572.1 million.

Net finance costs
Net finance costs for the quarter were £13.9 million, compared to net finance costs of £37.6 million in the prior year quarter, primarily due to a large unfavorable swing in foreign exchange rates resulting in unrealized foreign exchange losses on unhedged USD borrowings in the prior year quarter, compared to minimal movement in the current year quarter.

Non-IFRS Measures: Definitions and Use
- Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as profit/(loss) for the period before depreciation, amortization, profit/(loss) on disposal of intangible assets, exceptional items, net finance (costs)/income, and tax.
Adjusted EBITDA is useful as a measure of comparative operating performance from period to period and among companies as it is reflective of changes in pricing decisions, cost controls and other factors that affect operating performance, and it removes the effect of our asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization), material volatile items (primarily profit/(loss) on disposal of intangible assets and exceptional items), capital structure (primarily finance (costs)/income), and items outside the control of our management (primarily taxes). Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for an analysis of our results as reported under IFRS as issued by the IASB. A reconciliation of profit/(loss) for the period to adjusted EBITDA is presented in supplemental note 2. - Adjusted profit/(loss) for the period (i.e. adjusted net profit/(loss))
Adjusted profit/(loss) for the period is calculated, where appropriate, by adjusting for charges related to exceptional items, foreign exchange losses/gains on unhedged US dollar denominated borrowings and fair value movements on embedded foreign exchange derivatives, subtracting/adding the actual tax credit/expense for the period, and adding the adjusted tax credit for the period (based on an normalized tax rate of 25%). The normalized tax rate of 25% is the current UK corporation tax rate. A reconciliation of loss for the period to adjusted loss for the period is presented in supplemental note 3. - Adjusted basic and diluted earnings/(loss) per share
Adjusted basic and diluted earnings/(loss) per share are calculated by dividing the adjusted earnings/(loss) for the period by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period. Adjusted diluted earnings/(loss) per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. There is one category of dilutive potential ordinary shares: share awards pursuant to the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Equity Plan"). Share awards pursuant to the Equity Plan are assumed to have been converted into ordinary shares at the beginning of the financial year. Adjusted basic and diluted earnings/(loss) per share are presented in supplemental note 3.
