Management Commentary

Omar Berrada, Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are pleased to have secured record revenues and adjusted EBITDA which demonstrates the underlying strength of our business, particularly in a season without European football. This shows the direct impact of the work we have been doing over the past two years. It also proves Manchester United’s enduring popularity and commercial strength. While these results confirm that we are on the right trajectory, we will continue to take a disciplined approach to ensure our finances remain sustainable.

With that financial sustainability in mind, we have strengthened both our men’s and women’s teams during the summer window and our men’s team has seen the return of Champions League football to Old Trafford.

We have also strengthened commercially and have welcomed Betway as our new Training Kit partner and SumUp as our new Sleeve partner; two excellent organisations which we are delighted to be working with, alongside our kit supplier, adidas and front of shirt partner, Snapdragon.

Our other main area of focus is our plan to develop a new 100,000 seater stadium. We have now completed the major milestone of securing the land which will form part of the proposed location of the new stadium."

See "Non-IFRS Measures: Definitions and Use" on page 8 and the accompanying Supplemental Notes for the definitions and reconciliations for these non-IFRS measures and the reasons we believe these measures provide useful information to investors regarding the Group’s financial condition and results of operations.

⁽²⁾ In addition to non-current borrowings, the Group maintains a revolving credit facility which varies based on seasonal flow of funds. The outstanding balance of the revolving credit facility as of 30 June 2026 was £110.0 million and total current borrowings including accrued interest payable was £111.4 million.

Revenue Analysis

Total revenue for the year ended 30 June 2026 was £677.6 million, an increase of £11.1 million, or 1.7%, compared to the year ended 30 June 2025, as a result of an increase in revenue in our Broadcasting sector, partially offset by decreases in revenue in our Commercial and Matchday sectors, as described below.

Commercial

Commercial revenue for the year was £317.3 million, a decrease of £16.0 million, or 4.8%, over the prior year.

Sponsorship revenue was £160.5 million, a decrease of £27.9 million, or 14.8%, over the prior year, 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 £156.8 million, an increase of £11.9 million, or 8.2%, over the prior year, due to the current year including a full year of our in-house e-commerce model in partnership with SCAYLE, compared to only 10 months in the prior year, combined with a one-off credit relating to amended terms of this model.

For the quarter, commercial revenue was £72.2 million, a decrease of £16.0 million, or 18.1%, over the prior year quarter.

Sponsorship revenue was £37.8 million, a decrease of £13.4 million, or 26.2% over the prior year quarter, primarily due to the prior year quarter including revenue from our men’s first team undertaking a post-season tour to Malaysia and Hong Kong. No such tour was possible in the current year quarter due to the FIFA Men’s World Cup taking place; and
Retail, Merchandising, Apparel & Product Licensing revenue was £34.4 million, a decrease of £2.6 million, or 7.0%, over the prior year quarter.

Broadcasting

Broadcasting revenue for the year was £206.8 million, an increase of £33.9 million, or 19.6%, over the prior year, primarily due to the men’s first team finishing 3^rd in the Premier League, compared to 15^th in the prior year, partially offset by the men’s first team not participating in UEFA competition in the current year, compared to reaching the UEFA Europa League final in the prior year.

Broadcasting revenue for the quarter was £49.7 million, an increase of £11.0 million, or 28.4%, over the prior year quarter, primarily due to the men’s first team’s improved performance in the Premier League, partially offset by not participating in UEFA competition, as discussed above.

Matchday

Matchday revenue for the year was £153.5 million, a decrease of £6.8 million, or 4.2%, over the prior year, due to the men’s first team playing 10 fewer home matches in the current year compared to the prior year, partially offset by strong demand for our general admission and hospitality offerings.

Matchday revenue for the quarter was £35.6 million, a decrease of £1.6 million, or 4.3%, over the prior year quarter.

Other Financial Information

Operating expenses

Total operating expenses for the year were £701.9 million, a decrease of £31.8 million, or 4.3%, over the prior year. This decrease is explained by category below.

Employee benefit expenses

Employee benefit expenses for the year were £302.0 million, a decrease of £11.3 million, or 3.6%, over the prior year. This is primarily due to changes in the make-up of the men’s first team squad, combined with savings associated with headcount reduction programs implemented over the previous two fiscal years.

Other operating expenses

Other operating expenses for the year were £159.2 million, a decrease of £11.2 million, or 6.6%, over the prior year. This is primarily due to savings associated with the club’s continued focus on improving operating efficiency, combined with reduced matchday costs as a result of hosting 10 fewer home matches in the current season compared to the prior year.

Depreciation, impairment and amortization

Depreciation and impairment for the year was £20.6 million, an increase of £3.6 million, or 21.2%, over the prior year. Amortization for the year was £211.8 million, an increase of £15.4 million, or 7.8%, over the prior year, due to continued investment in the first team playing squad. The unamortized balance of registrations at 30 June 2026 was £452.3 million.

Exceptional items

Exceptional items for the year were a cost of £8.2 million, primarily comprising costs associated with the departure of former men’s first team head coach Ruben Amorim and final costs in relation to the Club’s restructuring programs. The charge also includes additional contributions we expect to pay towards the Football League pension scheme deficit.

Exceptional items for the prior year were a cost of £36.6 million, as a result of compensation for loss of office costs incurred in relation to the restructuring of the club’s operations, as well as costs associated with the departure of former men’s first team head coach Erik ten Hag and various members of football staff.

Profit on disposal of intangible assets

Profit on disposal of intangible assets for the year was £46.9 million, compared to £48.7 million for the prior year.

Net finance costs

Net finance costs for the year were £69.6 million, compared to net finance costs of £21.2 million for the prior year, an increase of £48.4 million, or 228.3%. This is primarily due to a large unrealized foreign exchange loss on unhedged USD borrowings of £10.0 million in the current year, compared to a large unrealized foreign exchange gain of £22.9 million in the prior year.

Income tax

The income tax credit for the year was £4.0 million, compared to a credit of £6.6 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 flows

Overall cash and cash equivalents (including the effects of exchange rate movements) decreased by £18.9 million in the year, compared to an increase of £12.6 million in the prior year.

Net cash inflow from operating activities for the year was £178.7 million, an increase of £106.0 million compared to a net cash inflow of £72.7 million for the prior year. This is explained further in the Statement of Cash Flows on page 13 and Cash Generated from Operations note on page 16.

Net capital expenditure on property, plant and equipment for the year was £85.9 million, an increase of £41.2 million over the prior year. The current year expenditure includes £63.5 million of spend on the acquisition of land required as part of our ambition to build a new 100,000 seater stadium. The prior year expenditure primarily relates to the upgrade of facilities at our Carrington Training Centre which was completed in August 2025.

Net capital expenditure on intangible assets for the year was £143.7 million, a decrease of £86.3 million over the prior year, primarily due to proceeds raised from the sale of future dated transfer fee receivables due from other football clubs, combined with stronger contractual player receivable cash flows received.

Net cash inflow from financing activities for the year was £35.3 million. This is due to net proceeds, including issue costs, of £89.5 million arising from the refinancing of our Senior Secured Notes, partially offset by net repayments on our revolving credit facility of £50.0 million. Net cash inflow from financing activities in the prior year was £209.6 million, due to net drawdowns on our revolving credit facility of £130.0 million, in addition to £80.0 million of proceeds from the issue of shares as part of the transaction agreement with Trawlers Limited (later INEOS Services Limited).

Balance sheet

Our USD non-current borrowings as of 30 June 2026 were $775 million, an increase of $125.0 million from 30 June 2025, as a result of the refinanced Senior Secured Notes discussed above. As a result of the year-on-year change in the USD/GBP exchange rate from 1.3709 at 30 June 2025 to 1.3272 at 30 June 2026, our non-current borrowings when converted to GBP were £577.6 million, compared to £471.9 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, including accrued interest, at 30 June 2026 were £111.4 million compared to £165.1 million at 30 June 2025.

As of 30 June 2026, cash and cash equivalents were £67.2 million compared to £86.1 million at 30 June 2025. This movement is detailed further in the Statement of Cash Flows on page 13 of this report.

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 2026 is still in progress.

Non-IFRS Measures: Definitions and Use

1. Adjusted EBITDA

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 and exceptional items), capital structure (primarily finance income/costs), and items outside the control of our management (primarily taxes). Adjusted EBITDA excludes exceptional items, defined as items that are not indicative of the ordinary trading performance of the business. 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 gains/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 25%; 2025: 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.

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.

3 Reconciliation of loss for the period to adjusted loss for the period and adjusted basic and diluted loss per share

	Twelve months ended 30 June				Three months ended 30 June
	2026 £’000		2025 £’000		2026 £’000		2025 £’000
Loss for the period	(42,954	)	(33,023	)	(28,720	)	(3,897	)
Exceptional items	8,209		36,626		(8,477	)	10,793
Foreign exchange losses/(gains) on unhedged US dollar denominated borrowings	9,963		(22,931	)	(295	)	(14,898	)
Fair value movement on embedded foreign exchange derivatives	58		2,639		109		560
Income tax (credit)/expense	(4,031	)	(6,641	)	(225	)	179
Adjusted loss before tax	(28,755	)	(23,330	)	(37,608	)	(7,263	)
Adjusted income tax credit (using a normalized tax rate of 25% (2025: 25%))	7,189		5,833		9,402		1,816
Adjusted loss for the period (i.e. adjusted net loss)	(21,566	)	(17,497	)	(28,206	)	(5,447	)

Adjusted basic and diluted loss per share:
Adjusted basic and diluted loss per share (pence)⁽¹⁾	(12.51	)	(10.24	)	(16.36	)	(3.16	)
Weighted average number of ordinary shares used as the denominator in calculating adjusted basic and diluted loss per share (thousands)⁽¹⁾	172,433		170,931		172,434		172,353
⁽¹⁾ For the twelve and three months ended 30 June 2026 and the twelve and three months ended 30 June 2025 potential ordinary shares are anti-dilutive, as their inclusion in the diluted adjusted loss per share calculation would reduce the adjusted loss per share, and hence have been excluded.
