(1) Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted loss for the period and adjusted basic loss per share are non-IFRS measures. See “Non-IFRS Measures: Definitions and Use” on page 7 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 31 March 2023 was £200.0 million and total current borrowings including accrued interest payable was £203.7 million. Based on the club’s expected seasonal working capital cycle, it is anticipated that the club would have the ability to reduce the balance on the club’s facilities to approximately £40 million at 30 June 2023.

Revenue Analysis

Commercial

Commercial revenue for the quarter was £69.4 million, an increase of £3.8 million, or 5.8%, over the prior year quarter.

  • Sponsorship revenue was £41.0 million, an increase of £1.8 million, or 4.6%, over the prior year quarter, primarily due to new sponsorship agreements.
  • Retail, Merchandising, Apparel & Product Licensing revenue was £28.4 million, an increase of £2.0 million, or 7.6%, over the prior year quarter, primarily due to an increased number of matches played at Old Trafford.

Broadcasting

Broadcasting revenue for the quarter was £50.7 million, a decrease of £0.8 million, or 1.6%, over the prior year quarter, as a result of the men’s first team participating in the UEFA Europa League compared to the UEFA Champions League in the prior year, partially offset by progression in domestic cup competitions.

Matchday

Matchday revenue for the quarter was £49.9 million, an increase of £14.2 million, or 39.8%, over the prior year quarter, due to playing 5 additional home matches in the current year quarter, compared to the prior year quarter.

Other Financial Information

Operating expenses

Total operating expenses for the quarter were £176.7 million, an increase of £1.4 million, or 0.8%, over the prior year quarter.

Employee benefit expenses

Employee benefit expenses for the quarter were £85.0 million, a decrease of £16.8 million, or 16.5%, over the prior year quarter as a result of squad turnover and the men’s first team not participating in Champions League in the current year.

Other operating expenses

Other operating expenses for the quarter were £45.3 million, an increase of £14.7 million, or 48.0%, over the prior year quarter. This is primarily due to increased matchday costs associated with progression in domestic cup competitions.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation for the quarter was £3.5 million, consistent with the prior year quarter. Amortization for the quarter was £42.9 million, an increase of £3.5 million, or 8.9%, over the prior year quarter, due to investment in the first team playing squad. The unamortized balance of registrations on 31 March 2023 was £416.7 million.

Profit on disposal of intangible assets

Profit on disposal of intangible assets for the quarter was £2.0 million, compared to a profit of £0.7 million for the prior year quarter.

Net finance costs

Net finance costs for the quarter were £1.0 million, compared to £14.1 million in the prior year quarter. The movement was driven by a favorable swing in foreign exchange rates in the current quarter, largely offsetting interest costs payable on borrowings. This compares to an unfavorable swing in foreign exchange rates in the prior year quarter.

Income tax

The income tax credit for the quarter was £0.1 million, compared to a credit of £8.2 million in the prior year quarter.

Cash flows

Overall cash and cash equivalents (including the effects of exchange rate movements) increased by £42.7 million in the quarter to 31 March 2023, compared to an increase of £8.4 million in the prior year quarter.

Net capital expenditure on property, plant and equipment for the quarter was £2.7 million, an increase of £2.0 million over the prior year quarter.

Net capital expenditure on intangible assets for the quarter was £8.7 million, an increase of £5.5 million over the prior year quarter.

Net cash outflow from financing activities for the quarter was £0.2 million, compared to £11.3 million in the prior year quarter.

Balance sheet

Our USD non-current borrowings as of 31 March 2023 were $650 million, which was unchanged from 31 March 2022. As a result of the year-on-year change in the USD/GBP exchange rate from 1.3158 at 31 March 2022 to 1.2369 at 31 March 2023, our non-current borrowings when converted to GBP were £521.5 million, compared to £489.2 million at the prior year quarter.

In addition to non-current borrowings, the Group maintains a revolving credit facility which varies based on seasonal flow of funds. Current borrowings at 31 March 2023 were £203.7 million compared to £102.3 million at 31 March 2022.

As of 31 March 2023, cash and cash equivalents were £73.7 million compared to £95.8 million at the prior year quarter, primarily due to investment in the first team playing squad.

Cautionary Statements

This press release contains forward‑looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on such statements because they are subject to numerous 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 are based on our current expectations and estimates of future events and trends, which affect or may affect our businesses and operations. 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.

Non-IFRS Measures: Definitions and Use

1. Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as loss for the period before depreciation, amortization, profit on disposal of intangible assets, net finance costs, 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 and amortization), material volatile items (primarily profit on disposal of intangible assets and exceptional items), capital structure (primarily finance 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 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.
