Arsenal Reports Record Revenue Amid £1.4 Million Loss

Arsenal Holdings Limited has filed its consolidated accounts for the year ending 31 May 2025, showing a narrow loss of £1.4 million, a significant improvement from £17.7 million the previous year. The result reflects £15.2 million of exceptional costs tied to player registration impairments.

Despite the headline loss, the club achieved record revenues of £691.0 million, up from £616.6 million in 2024. Strong performances in the UEFA Champions League, where Arsenal reached the semi-finals, and a second-place finish in the Premier League underpinned the improved financial results.

Football revenue alone reached £690.3 million, boosted by 30 home fixtures in the men’s team, driving matchday revenue to £153.9 million. Broadcasting revenue increased to £272.8 million, reflecting higher UEFA Champions League distributions, while commercial revenue surged to £263.2 million, led by the renewed adidas partnership and robust retail performance.

Wage costs rose to £346.8 million, driven by investments across men’s and women’s teams, alongside higher commercial and operational staffing. Operating costs also increased to £200.8 million due to higher staging costs, inflation, and other operational expenses. Profits from player sales reached £81.2 million, highlighting the ongoing importance of player trading to the club’s financial results.

Arsenal Women also celebrated a historic achievement, lifting the UEFA Women’s Champions League trophy with a 1-0 win over FC Barcelona, marking a milestone in the club’s pursuit of major honours.

The club ended the year with £56.0 million in cash, slightly down from £66.8 million, with strategic funding primarily provided by parent company KSE UK Inc., wholly owned by Mr. E. S. Kroenke.
