Manchester United plc reports mixed interim results for the three and six months ended 31 December 2025. For the quarter, revenue fell to £190.3m, down 4.2%, as lower Commercial and Matchday income more than offset slightly higher Broadcasting revenue. However, tight cost control cut total operating expenses by 11.5% to £173.9m, and the club moved from a quarterly loss to a profit after tax of £4.2m versus a £27.7m loss a year earlier.
Over six months, revenue declined 3.2% to £330.7m, and the Group posted a small loss after tax of £2.5m, sharply improved from a £26.3m loss. Investment in the playing squad drove amortization of registrations up to £108.8m and helped lift profit on disposal of registrations to £48.2m. Cash and cash equivalents stood at £44.4m as of 31 December 2025, with net cash outflow from operating activities reduced to £12.7m and heavy net investing outflows of £154.5m funded largely by a net £130.0m draw on revolving facilities. Total borrowings include £315.1m equivalent senior secured notes, a £166.2m equivalent secured term loan and £290m drawn under revolving facilities; all covenants were in compliance and management continues to apply the going concern basis.
