Manchester United Plc, one of the world’s most popular sports teams, operates in the football industry, generating revenue through various streams, including sponsorship, merchandising, broadcasting, and matchday activities, leveraging its rich 147-year history and vast global fanbase.
In its first-quarter fiscal 2025 earnings report, Manchester United Plc reported a decline in total revenue to £143.1 million, marking an 8.9% drop compared to the previous year. Despite reduced revenue, the club secured several new sponsorship deals, including a prominent partnership with Heineken.
Key financial metrics for the quarter highlighted a decrease in commercial, broadcasting, and matchday revenues due to fewer matches and altered tournament participation. However, adjusted EBITDA showed a slight improvement, and the club recorded a net profit mainly attributed to favorable foreign exchange movements. Operating expenses rose marginally, while employee benefit expenses saw a notable reduction.
Looking ahead, Manchester United Plc maintained its revenue and EBITDA guidance for fiscal 2025, reflecting confidence in its strategic initiatives and compliance with financial regulations. The club’s management remains focused on enhancing competitive performance and driving commercial growth through new partnerships and facility enhancements.
