Arsenal Set Revenue Record Despite Small Loss

The club's financial accounts, filed at Companies House, show a significant improvement from the previous year's £17.7 million loss. Excluding £15.2 million in exceptional costs related to player registration impairment, Arsenal actually recorded a pre-tax profit of £13.8 million.

Record-breaking revenue was driven by increases across all major categories: matchday income rose to £153.9 million, broadcasting reached £272.8 million, and commercial revenue climbed to £263.2 million. The figures reflect Arsenal's progression to the UEFA Champions League semi-finals and the full year benefit from partnerships, though wage costs did increase to £346.8 million with cash reserves slightly falling to £56 million.
