Broadcasting
Broadcasting revenue
for the year was £209.1 million, a decrease of £5.8 million, or 2.7%, over the prior year, primarily due to the men’s
first team participating in the UEFA Europa League compared to the UEFA Champions League in the current year, mostly offset by improved
performance in both domestic and continental competitions.
Broadcasting revenue
for the quarter was £64.5 million, an increase of £30.8 million, or 91.4%, over the prior year quarter, primarily due to
playing seven more home and away games across all competitions and the impact of our men’s first team finishing 3rd in the Premier
League compared to 6th in the prior year.
Matchday
Matchday revenue
for the year was £136.4 million, an increase of £25.9 million, or 23.4%, over the prior year, due to playing 7 more home
games across all competitions in the current year, together with strong demand for match by match hospitality offers.

Other Financial Information
Operating
expenses
Total operating
expenses for the year were £681.1 million, a decrease of £11.5 million, or 1.7%, over the prior year.
Employee
benefit expenses
Employee benefit
expenses for the year were £331.4 million, a decrease of £52.8 million, or 13.7%, over the prior year, as a result of squad
turnover and the men’s first team not participating in the UEFA Champions League in the current year.
Other operating
income
Other operating
income for the year was £1.1 million, compared to £nil in the prior year.
Other operating expenses
Other operating
expenses for the year were £163.2 million, an increase of £45.3 million, or 38.4%, over the prior year. This is primarily
due to costs associated with the men’s first team pre-season tour and increased matchday costs associated with progression in domestic
cup competitions.
Depreciation,
impairment and amortization
Depreciation and
impairment for the year was £13.8 million, a decrease of £0.5 million, or 3.5%, over the prior year. Amortization for the
year was £172.7 million, an increase of £21.2 million, or 14.0%, over the prior year, due to investment in the first team

Profit on
disposal of intangible assets
Profit on disposal
of intangible assets for the year was £20.4 million, compared to £21.9 million for the prior year.
Net finance
costs
Net finance costs
for the year were £21.4 million, compared to net finance costs of £62.2 million for the prior year, a decrease of £40.8
million, or 65.6%. This is primarily due to a favorable swing in foreign exchange rates resulting in unrealized foreign exchange gains
on unhedged USD borrowings in the current year compared to unrealized foreign exchange losses in the prior year.
Income tax
The income tax
credit for the year was £3.9 million, compared to a credit of £34.1 million in the prior year. In both years the credit arises
primarily as a result of deferred tax assets recognised in respect of losses arising in the year.

cash equivalents (including the effects of exchange rate movements) decreased by £45.2 million in the year, compared to an increase
of £10.6 million in the prior year.

million for the prior year.
Net capital expenditure
on property, plant and equipment for the year was £15.6 million, an increase of £7.3 million over the prior year. This is
primarily due to expenditure on the upgrade of facilities at Carrington Training Centre.
Net capital expenditure
on intangible assets for the year was £124.6 million, an increase of £39.5 million over the prior year, due to continued
investment in the first team playing squad.
Net cash outflow
from financing activities for the year was £1.9 million, compared to net cash inflow of £5.0 million in the prior year.
Balance sheet
Our USD non-current
borrowings as of 30 June 2023 were $650 million, which was unchanged from 30 June 2022. As a result of the year-on-year change in the
USD/GBP exchange rate from 1.2151 at 30 June 2022 to 1.2716 at 30 June 2023, our non-current borrowings when converted to GBP were £507.3
million, compared to £530.4 million at the prior year end.
In addition to
non-current borrowings, the Group maintains a revolving credit facility which varies based on seasonal flow of funds. Current borrowings

risks and uncertainties relating to the Company’s operations and business environment, all of which are difficult to predict and
many are beyond the Company’s control. Forward-looking statements include information concerning certain expectations and uncertainties
related to the COVID-19 pandemic and the Company’s possible or assumed future results of operations, including descriptions of
its business strategy. These statements often include words such as “may,” “might,” “will,” “could,”
“would,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “intend,”
“seek,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,”
“contemplate,” “possible” or similar expressions. The forward-looking statements contained in this press release

You should understand that these statements are not guarantees of performance or results. They involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties
and assumptions. Although the Company believes that these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, you should
be aware that many factors could affect its actual financial results or results of operations and could cause actual results to differ
materially from those in these forward-looking statements. These factors are more fully discussed in the “Risk Factors” section
and elsewhere in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form F-1, as amended (File No. 333-182535) and the Company’s Annual
Report on Form 20-F (File No. 001-35627) as supplemented by the risk factors contained in the Company’s other filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
Statement Regarding Unaudited Financial
Information
The unaudited financial
information set forth is preliminary and subject to adjustments. The audit of the financial statements and related notes to be included
in our annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended 30 June 2023 is still in progress. Adjustments to the financial statements may be
identified when audit work is completed, which could result in significant differences from this preliminary unaudited financial information.
Non-IFRS
Measures: Definitions and Use
Adjusted EBITDA
is defined as loss for the period before depreciation and impairment, amortization, profit on disposal of intangible assets, net finance
costs/income, exceptional items 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, impairment and amortization), material volatile items (primarily profit on disposal of intangible assets), capital
structure (primarily finance income/costs), 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 loss/profit for the period to adjusted EBITDA is presented in supplemental note 2.
2. | Adjusted
loss for the period (i.e. adjusted net loss) |
Adjusted loss for
the period is calculated, where appropriate, by adjusting for charges/credits related to exceptional items, foreign exchange gains/losses
on unhedged US dollar denominated borrowings (including foreign exchange losses immediately reclassified from the hedging reserve following
change in contract currency denomination of future revenues), and fair value movements on embedded foreign exchange derivatives and foreign
currency options, adding/subtracting the actual tax expense/credit for the period, and subtracting/adding the adjusted tax expense/credit
for the period (based on a normalized tax rate of 21%; 2022: 21%). The normalized tax rate of 21% is the current US federal corporate
income tax rate.
In assessing the
comparative performance of the business, in order to get a clearer view of the underlying financial performance of the business, it is
useful to strip out the distorting effects of the items referred to above and then to apply a ‘normalized’ tax rate (for
both the current and prior periods) of the weighted average US federal corporate income tax rate of 21% (2022: 21%) applicable during
the financial year. A reconciliation of loss for the period to adjusted loss for the period is presented in supplemental note 3.
3. | Adjusted basic and diluted
loss per share |
Adjusted basic
and diluted loss per share are calculated by dividing the adjusted loss for the period by the weighted average number of ordinary shares
in issue during the period. Adjusted diluted 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
loss per share are presented in supplemental note 3.
