Revenue

Total revenue for the three months ended 31 March 2024 was £136.7 million, a decrease of £33.3 million, or 19.6%, over the three months ended 31 March 2023, as a result of a decrease in revenue in our Broadcasting and Matchday sectors, partially offset by an increase in revenue in our Commercial sector, as described below.

Commercial revenue

Commercial revenue for the three months ended 31 March 2024 was £69.6 million, an increase of £0.2 million, or 0.3%, over the three months ended 31 March 2023.

·

Sponsorship revenue for the three months ended 31 March 2024 was £40.7 million, a decrease of £0.3 million, or 0.7%, over the three months ended 31 March 2023.

·

Retail, Merchandising, Apparel & Product Licensing revenue for the three months ended 31 March 2024 was £28.9 million, an increase of £0.5 million, or 1.8%, over the three months ended 31 March 2023, due to the extension of our agreement with adidas, partially offset by fewer matches being played at Old Trafford in the quarter.

Broadcasting revenue

Broadcasting revenue for the three months ended 31 March 2024 was £37.5 million, a decrease of £13.2 million, or 26.0%, over the three months ended 31 March 2023, due to the men’s first team playing in fewer matches in the quarter, in both continental and domestic competitions.

Matchday revenue

Matchday revenue for the three months ended 31 March 2024 was £29.6 million, a decrease of £20.3 million, or 40.7%, over the three months ended 31 March 2023, due to playing nine fewer home matches in the current year quarter, compared to the prior year quarter.

Total operating expenses

Total operating expenses (defined as employee benefit expenses, other operating expenses, depreciation and amortization and exceptional items) for the three months ended 31 March 2024 were £203.7 million, an increase of £27.0 million, or 15.3%, over the three months ended 31 March 2023.

Employee benefit expenses

Employee benefit expenses for the three months ended 31 March 2024 were £91.2 million, an increase of £6.2 million, or 7.3%, over the three months ended 31 March 2023, primarily due to investment in the first team playing squad.

Other operating expenses

Other operating expenses for the three months ended 31 March 2024 were £31.8 million, a decrease of £13.5 million, or 29.8%, over the 3 months ended 31 March 2023, primarily due to decreased matchday costs associated with playing nine fewer games in the quarter, compared to the prior year quarter.

Depreciation

Depreciation for the three months ended 31 March 2024 was £4.1 million, compared to £3.5 million for the three months ended 31 March 2023.

Amortization

Amortization, primarily of registrations, for the three months ended 31 March 2024 was £46.3 million, an increase of £3.4 million, or 7.9%, over the three months ended 31 March 2023, due to investment in the first team playing squad. The unamortized balance of registrations as of 31 March 2024 was £448.0 million.

Exceptional items

Exceptional items for the quarter were a cost of £30.3 million. This comprises of costs incurred in relation to the sale of 27.7% of the Group’s voting rights to Trawlers Limited, an entity wholly owned by Sir Jim Ratcliffe. This follows approval of the deal by the Football Association and the Premier League in the quarter. Exceptional items in the prior year quarter were £nil.

Profit on disposal of intangible assets

Profit on disposal of intangible assets for the three months ended 31 March 2024 was £0.8 million, compared to £2.0 million for the three months ended 31 March 2023.

Net finance costs

Net finance costs for the three months ended 31 March 2024 were £17.3 million, compared to net finance costs of £1.0 million for the three months ended 31 March 2023. The movement was driven by an unfavorable swing in foreign exchange rates in the current quarter (loss on re-translation of £2.6 million), compared to a favorable swing in foreign exchange rates in the prior year quarter (gain on re-translation of £13.0 million).

Income tax

The income tax credit for the three months ended 31 March 2024 was £12.1 million, compared to a credit of £0.1 million for the three months ended 31 March 2023. The current year estimated weighted average annual tax rate of 14.52% is driven by costs not deductible in the UK associated with the strategic review, which reduces carried forward losses.

·

Sponsorship revenue for the nine months ended 31 March 2024 was £136.0 million, a decrease of £13.2 million, or 8.8%, over the nine months ended 31 March 2023, primarily due to a one-off sponsorship credit in the prior year period.

Matchday revenue

Matchday revenue for the nine months ended 31 March 2024 was £104.5 million, an increase of £3.4 million, or 3.4%, over the nine months ended 31 March 2023, primarily due to strong matchday and hospitality performance associated with participating in the UEFA Champions League rather than the UEFA Europa League, partially offset by playing six fewer home matches in the current year.

Total operating expenses

Total operating expenses (defined as employee benefit expenses, other operating expenses, depreciation, and amortization and exceptional items) for the nine months ended 31 March 2024 were £587.1 million, an increase of £79.1 million, or 15.6%, over the nine months ended 31 March 2023.

Other operating expenses

Other operating expenses for the nine months ended 31 March 2024 were £114.7 million, a decrease of £10.1 million, or 8.1%, over the nine months ended 31 March 2023. This is primarily due to decreased matchday costs associated with playing six fewer home matches in the current year.

The unamortized balance of registrations as of 31 March 2024 was £448.0 million.

Exceptional items

Exceptional items for the nine months ended 31 March 2024 were £39.9 million. This comprises of costs incurred in relation to the sale of 27.7% of the Group’s voting rights to Trawlers Limited, an entity wholly owned by Sir Jim Ratcliffe.

Net finance costs

Net finance costs for the nine months ended 31 March 2024 were £52.2 million, compared to net finance costs of £19.9 million for the nine months ended 31 March 2023, primarily due to an unfavorable swing in foreign exchange rates in the current year (loss on re-translation of £3.1 million), compared to a favorable swing in the prior year (gain on re-translation of £10.3 million). The increase in net finance costs is also a result of increased interest costs on our revolving facilities and a change in the valuation of closing derivative financial instruments.

Income tax

The income tax credit for the nine months ended 31 March 2024 was £12.3 million, compared to a credit of £5.0 for the nine months ended 31 March 2023. The current year estimated weighted average annual tax rate of 14.52% is driven by costs not deductible in the UK associated with the strategic review, which reduces carried forward losses.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our primary cash requirements stem from the payment of transfer fees for the acquisition of players’ registrations, capital expenditures for the improvement of facilities at Old Trafford and the Carrington training ground (“Carrington”), payment of interest on our borrowings, employee benefit expenses, other operating expenses and dividends on our Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares. Historically, we have met these cash requirements through a combination of operating cash flow and proceeds from the transfer fees from the sale of players’ registrations. Our existing borrowings primarily consist of our secured term loan facility, our senior secured notes and outstanding drawdowns under our revolving facilities. We manage our cash flow interest rate risk where appropriate using interest rate swaps. Such interest rate swaps have the economic effect of converting a portion of variable rate borrowings from floating to fixed rates. We have US dollar borrowings that we use to hedge our US dollar commercial revenue exposure. We continue to evaluate our financing options and may, from time to time, take advantage of opportunities to repurchase or refinance all or a portion of our existing indebtedness to the extent such opportunities arise. As of 31 March 2024, we had cash resources of £67.0 million and all funds are held as cash and cash equivalents and therefore available on demand. As of 31 March 2024, we also had access to an undrawn revolving facility of £160 million. However, we cannot assure you that our cash generated from operations, cash and cash equivalents or cash available under our revolving facilities will be sufficient to meet our long-term future needs. We cannot assure you that we could obtain additional financing on favorable terms or at all, including as a result of changes or volatility in the credit or capital markets, which affect our ability to borrow money or raise capital.

Our business ordinarily generates a significant amount of cash from our Matchday revenues and commercial contractual arrangements at or near the beginning of our fiscal year, with a steady flow of other cash received throughout the fiscal year. In addition, we ordinarily generate a significant amount of our cash through advance receipts, including season tickets (which include general admission season tickets and seasonal hospitality tickets), most of which are received prior to the end of June for the following season. Our Broadcasting revenue from the Premier League and UEFA is paid periodically throughout the season, with primary payments made in late summer, December, January and the end of the football season. Our sponsorship and other commercial revenue tends to be paid either quarterly or annually in advance. However, while we typically have a high cash balance at the beginning of each fiscal year, this is largely attributable to deferred revenue, the majority of which falls under current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet, and this deferred revenue is amortized through the statement of profit or loss over the course of the fiscal year. Over the course of a year, we use our cash on hand to pay employee benefit expenses, other operating expenses, interest payments and other liabilities as they become due. This typically results in negative working capital movement at certain times during the year. In the event it ever became necessary to access additional operating cash, we also have access to cash through our revolving facilities. As of 31 March 2024, we had £140 million of outstanding loans under our revolving facilities and access to undrawn revolving facilities of £160 million.

We also maintain a mixture of long-term debt and capacity under our revolving facilities in order to ensure that we have sufficient funds available for short-term working capital requirements and for investment in the playing squad and other capital projects.

Our cost base is more evenly spread throughout the fiscal year than our cash inflows. Employee benefit expenses and fixed costs constitute the majority of our cash outflows and are generally paid throughout the 12 months of the fiscal year.

In addition, transfer windows for acquiring and disposing of registrations occur in January and the summer. During these periods, we may require additional cash to meet our acquisition needs for new players and we may generate additional cash through the sale of existing registrations. Depending on the terms of the agreement, transfer fees may be paid or received by us in multiple installments, resulting in deferred cash paid or received. Although we have not historically drawn on our revolving facilities during the summer transfer window, if we seek to acquire players with values substantially in excess of the values of players we seek to sell, we may be required to utilize cash available from our revolving facilities to meet our cash needs.

7

Acquisition and disposal of registrations also affects our trade receivables and payables, which affects our overall working capital. Our trade receivables include transfer fees receivable from other football clubs, whereas our trade payables include transfer fees and other associated costs payable to other football clubs in relation to the acquisition of registrations.

Cash Flow

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the nine months ended 31 March 2024 and 2023:

Net cash outflow from operating activities

Cash (used in)/generated from operations represents our operating results and net movements in our working capital. Our working capital is generally impacted by the timing of cash received from the sale of tickets and hospitality and other Matchday revenues, broadcasting revenues from the Premier League and UEFA and sponsorship and other commercial revenues. Cash used in operations for the nine months ended 31 March 2024 was £14.7 million, compared to cash generated from operations of £12.2 million for the nine months ended 31 March 2023.

Additional changes in net cash outflow from operating activities generally reflect our finance costs. We currently pay fixed rates of interest on our senior secured notes and variable rates of interest on our secured term loan facility. We use interest rate swaps to manage the cash flow interest rate risk. Such swaps have the economic effect of converting a portion of interest from variable rates to a fixed rate. Drawdowns from our revolving facilities are also subject to variable rates of interest. Net cash outflow from operating activities for the nine months ended 31 March 2024 was £40.2 million, compared to a net cash outflow of £13.5 million for the nine months ended 31 March 2023.

Net cash outflow from investing activities

Capital expenditure for the acquisition of intangible assets as well as for improvements to property, principally at Old Trafford and Carrington, are funded through cash flow generated from operations, proceeds from the sale of intangible assets and, if necessary, from our revolving facilities. Capital expenditure on the acquisition, disposal and trading of intangible assets tends to vary significantly from year to year depending on the requirements of our men’s first team, overall availability of players, our assessment of their relative value and competitive demand for players from other clubs. By contrast, capital expenditure on the purchase of property, plant and equipment tends to remain relatively stable as we continue to make improvements at Old Trafford and Carrington.

Net cash outflow from investing activities for the nine months ended 31 March 2024 was £165.0 million, an increase of £30.3 million from £134.7 million for the nine months ended 31 March 2023.

For the nine months ended 31 March 2024, net capital expenditure on property, plant and equipment was £14.9 million, an increase of £5.1 million from £9.8 million for the nine months ended 31 March 2023.

For the nine months ended 31 March 2024, net capital expenditure on intangible assets was £150.1 million, an increase of £25.2 million from £124.9 million for the nine months ended 31 March 2023.

Net cash inflow from financing activities

Net cash inflow from financing activities for the nine months ended 31 March 2024 was £197.8 million, compared to net cash inflow of £98.4 million for the nine months ended 31 March 2023. This is due to a £40.0 million drawdown on the revolving facilities in the current year compared to a £100.0 million drawdown on the revolving facilities in the prior year and proceeds from the issue of shares to Trawlers Limited of £158.5 million.

Indebtedness

Our primary sources of indebtedness consist of our senior secured notes, our secured term loan facility and our revolving facilities. As part of the security for our senior secured notes, our secured term loan facility and our revolving facilities, substantially all of our assets are subject to liens and mortgages.

Description of principal indebtedness

Senior secured notes

Our wholly owned subsidiary, Manchester United Football Club Limited, issued $425 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.79% senior secured notes. As of 31 March 2024, the sterling equivalent of £334.7 million (net of unamortized issue costs of £1.7 million) was outstanding. The outstanding principal amount was $425.0 million. The senior secured notes mature on 25 June 2027.

The senior secured notes are guaranteed by Red Football Limited, Red Football Junior Limited, Manchester United Limited and MU Finance Limited and secured against substantially all of the assets of those entities and Manchester United Football Club Limited. These entities are wholly owned subsidiaries of Manchester United plc.

9

The note purchase agreement governing the senior secured notes contains a financial maintenance covenant requiring us to maintain consolidated profit for the period before depreciation, amortization of, and profit/(loss) on disposal of, intangible assets, exceptional items, net finance costs, and tax (“EBITDA”) of not less than £65 million for each 12 month testing period. We are able to claim certain dispensations from complying with the consolidated EBITDA floor up to twice (in non-consecutive financial years) during the life of the senior secured notes if we fail to qualify for the first-round group stages (or its equivalent from time to time) of the UEFA Champions League. The impact of IFRS 16 is excluded for the purpose of covenant compliance testing. The covenant is tested on a quarterly basis and we were in compliance as at 31 March 2024.

The note purchase agreement governing the senior secured notes contains events of default typical for securities of this type, as well as customary covenants and restrictions on the activities of Red Football Limited and each of Red Football Limited’s subsidiaries, including, but not limited to, the incurrence of additional indebtedness; dividends or distributions in respect of capital stock or certain other restricted payments or investments; entering into agreements that restrict distributions from restricted subsidiaries; the sale or disposal of assets, including capital stock of restricted subsidiaries; transactions with affiliates; the incurrence of liens; and mergers, consolidations or the sale of substantially all of Red Football Limited’s assets. The covenants in the note purchase agreement governing the senior secured notes are subject to certain thresholds and exceptions described in the note purchase agreement governing the senior secured notes.

The senior secured notes may be redeemed in part, in an amount not less than 5% of the aggregate principal amount of the senior secured notes then outstanding, or in full, at any time at 100% of the principal amount plus a “make-whole” premium of an amount equal to the discounted value (based on the US Treasury rate) of the remaining interest payments due on the senior secured notes up to 25 June 2027.

Secured term loan facility

Our wholly-owned subsidiary, Manchester United Football Club Limited, has a secured term loan facility with Bank of America Merrill Lynch International Designated Activity Company as lender. As of 31 March 2024, the sterling equivalent of £176.6 million (net of unamortized issue costs of £1.5 million) was outstanding. The outstanding principal amount was $225.0 million. The remaining balance of the secured term loan facility is repayable on 6 August 2029, although the Group has the option to repay the secured term loan facility at any time before then.

Loans under the secured term loan facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus the applicable margin. The applicable margin, if no event of default has occurred and is continuing, means the following:

Total net leverage ratio (as defined in the secured term loan facility agreement)	Margin % (per annum)
Greater than 3.5		1.75
Greater than 2.0 but less than or equal to 3.5		1.50
Less than or equal to 2.0		1.25

While any event of default is continuing, the applicable margin shall be the highest level set forth above.

Our secured term loan facility is guaranteed by Red Football Limited, Red Football Junior Limited, Manchester United Limited, MU Finance Limited and Manchester United Football Club Limited and secured against substantially all of the assets of those entities. These entities are wholly owned subsidiaries of Manchester United plc.

The secured term loan facility contains a financial maintenance covenant requiring us to maintain consolidated profit for the period before depreciation, amortization of, and profit/(loss) on disposal of, intangible assets, exceptional items, net finance costs, and tax (“EBITDA”) of not less than £65 million for each 12 month testing period. We are able to claim certain dispensations from complying with the consolidated EBITDA floor up to twice (in non-consecutive financial years) during the life of the secured term loan facility if we fail to qualify for the first round group stages (or its equivalent from time to time) of the UEFA Champions League. The impact of IFRS 16 is excluded for the purpose of covenant compliance testing. The covenant is tested on a quarterly basis and we were in compliance as at 31 March 2024.

10

The secured term loan facility contains events of default typical in facilities of this type, as well as typical covenants including restrictions on incurring additional indebtedness, paying dividends or making other distributions or repurchasing or redeeming our stock, selling assets, including capital stock of restricted subsidiaries, entering into agreements restricting our subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends, consolidating, merging, selling or otherwise disposing of all or substantially all of our assets, entering into sale and leaseback transactions, entering into transactions with our affiliates and incurring liens. Certain events of default and covenants in the secured term loan facility are subject to certain thresholds and exceptions described in the agreement governing the secured term loan facility.

Revolving facilities

Our revolving facilities agreement originally dated 22 May 2015 (as amended on 7 October 2015, amended and restated on 4 April 2019, 4 March 2021 and 10 December 2021) (the “initial revolving facility”) allows Manchester United Football Club Limited (or any direct or indirect subsidiary of Red Football Limited that becomes a borrower thereunder) to borrow up to £150 million from a syndicate of lenders with Bank of America Europe Designated Activity Company as agent and security trustee. As of 31 March 2024, we had £100 million in outstanding loans and £50 million in borrowing capacity under our revolving facilities agreement.

The revolving facilities agreement contains a financial maintenance covenant consistent with the note purchase agreement and secured term loan- facility. The initial revolving facility is scheduled to expire on 4 April 2025. Any amount still outstanding at that time will be due in full immediately on the applicable expiry date.

Our revolving facility agreement originally dated 14 October 2020 (as amended and restated on 4 March 2021, 13 December 2021 and 26 April 2022) (the “new revolving facility”) allows Manchester United Football Club Limited (or any direct or indirect subsidiary of Red Football Limited that becomes a borrower thereunder) to borrow up to £75 million from Santander UK plc as original lender and with Santander UK plc as agent and with Bank of America Europe Designated Activity Company as security trustee. The general covenants under the new revolving facility are consistent with the initial revolving facility. As of 31 March 2024, we had £30 million in outstanding loans and £45 million in borrowing capacity under our revolving facility agreement. The new revolving facility has a maturity date of 25 June 2027.

On 26 April 2022 we entered into a new bilateral revolving facility agreement (the “bilateral revolving facility”) which allows Manchester United Football Club Limited (or any direct or indirect subsidiary of Red Football Limited that becomes a borrower thereunder) to borrow up to £75 million from Bank of America, N.A., London Branch as original lender and with Bank of America Europe Designated Activity Company as agent and security trustee. The general covenants under the bilateral revolving facility agreement are consistent with the initial revolving facilities agreement. As of 31 March 2024, we had £10 million in outstanding loans and £65 million in borrowing capacity under our revolving facility agreement.

Overall, as of 31 March 2024, we had £140 million in outstanding loans and £160 million in borrowing capacity under our revolving facilities.

Our revolving facilities are guaranteed by Red Football Limited, Red Football Junior Limited, Manchester United Limited, MU Finance Limited and Manchester United Football Club Limited and secured against substantially all of the assets of those entities. These entities are wholly owned subsidiaries of Manchester United plc.

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

Transfer fees payable

Under the terms of certain contracts with other football clubs in respect of player transfers, additional amounts would be payable by us if certain specific performance conditions are met. We estimate the fair value of any contingent consideration at the date of acquisition based on the probability of conditions being met and monitor this on an ongoing basis. The maximum additional amount that could be payable as of 31 March 2024 is £153.6 million (30 June 2023: £133.1 million; 30 March 2023: £145.4 million).

Transfer fees receivable

Similarly, under the terms of contracts with other football clubs for player transfers, additional amounts would be payable to us if certain specific performance conditions are met. In accordance with the recognition criteria for contingent assets, such amounts are only disclosed by the Company when probable and recognized when virtually certain. As of 31 March 2024, we believe receipt of £nil to be probable (30 June 2023: £nil; 30 March 2023: £nil).

Other commitments

In the ordinary course of business, we enter into capital commitments. These transactions are recognized in the consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), and are more fully disclosed therein.

As of 31 March 2024, we had not entered into any other off-balance sheet transactions.

Notes to the interim consolidated financial statements (continued) - unaudited

1            General information

Manchester United plc (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (together the “Group”) is a men’s and women’s professional football club together with related and ancillary activities. The Company incorporated under the Companies Law (as amended) of the Cayman Islands. The Company’s shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “MANU”.

These financial statements are presented in pounds sterling and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand (£’000) except when otherwise indicated.

These interim consolidated financial statements were approved for issue by the board of directors on 11 July 2024.

2            Basis of preparation

The interim consolidated financial statements of Manchester United plc have been prepared on a going concern basis and in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”. The interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended 30 June 2023, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on 27 October 2023, contained within the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F, which were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The report of the auditors on those financial statements was unqualified and did not contain an emphasis of matter paragraph. The results of operations for the interim periods should not be considered indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year.

Going concern

The Group has cash resources as of 31 March 2024 of £67.0 million, with all funds held as cash and cash equivalents and therefore available on demand. As of 31 March 2024, the Group also has access to undrawn revolving facilities of £160 million.

The Group’s debt facilities include the $425 million senior secured notes and the $225 million secured term loan facility, the majority of which attract fixed interest rates. As of 31 March 2024, the Group also has £140 million of outstanding loans under our revolving facilities. The Group’s secured notes and term loan mature in 2027 and 2029 respectively. Of the Group’s total available revolving facilities of £300 million, £150 million expires in 2025 and £150 million expires in 2027. As of 31 March 2024, the Group was in compliance with all debt covenants.

During the period, the Group received cash proceeds of $200 million related to the minority investment by Sir Jim Ratcliffe. A further $100 million is to be received by 31 December 2024.

As a result of a detailed assessment, including prudent assumptions around the men’s first team’s performance, and with reference to the Group’s balance sheet, existing committed facilities, but also acknowledging the inherent uncertainty of the current economic outlook, Management has concluded that the Group is able to meet its obligations when they fall due for a period of at least 12 months after the issuance of this report. For this reason, the Group continues to adopt the going concern basis for preparing the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.

3            Accounting policies

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2023, except as described below.

Taxes on income in the interim periods are accrued using the tax rate that would be applicable to expected total annual earnings.

New and amended standards and interpretations adopted by the Group

The following amendment to standards has been adopted by the Group for the first time for the year ended 30 June 2024:

·

Deferred Tax Related to Assets and Liabilities Arising from a Single Transaction (Amendments to IAS 1)

The adoption of this amendment has not had a material effect on the Group’s financial statements.

New and amended standards and interpretations issued but not yet adopted

The following amendment to IFRS that has been issued by the IASB will become effective in a subsequent accounting period:

·

Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current (Amendments to IAS 1)

·

Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (IFRS 18)

This change is not expected to have a material effect on the Group’s financial statements.

4            Critical estimates and judgments

The preparation of interim financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the interim consolidated financial statements are considered to be:

·

Estimate of minimum guarantee revenue recognition – see Note 5

·

Estimate of fair value of registrations – see Note 17

·

Recognition of deferred tax assets – see Note 18

·

Recognition of tax related provisions – see Note 27

Management does not consider there to be any significant judgements in the preparation of the financial statements.

In preparing these interim consolidated financial statements, the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2023.

5            Seasonality of revenue

We experience seasonality in our revenue and cash flow, limiting the overall comparability of interim financial periods. In any given interim period, our total revenue can vary based on the number of games played in that period, which affects the amount of Matchday and Broadcasting revenue recognized. This was particularly evident in the 2022/23 season, in which the Premier League Season paused for six weeks in November 2022 for the FIFA World Cup to take place. Similarly, certain of our costs are derived from hosting games at Old Trafford, and these costs will also vary based on the number of games played in the period. We historically recognize the most revenue in our second and third fiscal quarters due to the scheduling of matches. However, a strong performance by our first team in European competitions and domestic cups could result in significant additional Matchday and Broadcasting revenue, and consequently we may also recognize the most revenue in our fourth fiscal quarter in those years.

i)	*Commercial*

Commercial revenue (whether settled in cash or value in kind) comprises revenue receivable from the exploitation of the Manchester United brand through sponsorship and other commercial agreements, including minimum guaranteed revenue, revenue receivable from retailing Manchester United branded merchandise in the UK and licensing the manufacture, distribution and sale of such goods globally, and fees for the Manchester United men’s first team undertaking tours. Revenue is recognized over the term of the sponsorship agreement in line with the performance obligations included within the contract and based on the sponsorship rights enjoyed by the individual sponsor. In instances where the sponsorship rights remain the same over the duration of the contract, revenue is recognized as performance obligations are satisfied evenly over time (i.e. on a straight-line basis). Retail revenue is recognized when control of the products has transferred, being at the point of sale to the customer. License revenue in respect of right to access licences is recognized in line with the performance obligations included within the contract, in instances where these remain the same over the duration of the contract, revenue is recognized evenly on a time elapsed (i.e. straight-line) basis. Sales-based royalty revenue is recognized only when the subsequent sale is made.

Significant estimates

A number of sponsorship contracts contain significant estimates in relation to the allocation and recognition of revenue in line with performance obligations. Minimum guaranteed revenue is recognized over the term of the sponsorship agreement in line with the performance obligations included within the contract and based on the sponsorship benefits enjoyed by the individual sponsor. In instances where the sponsorship rights remain the same over the duration of the contract, revenue is recognized as performance obligations are satisfied evenly over time (i.e. on a straight-line basis).

On 21 July 2023, the Group signed a 10-year extension to its agreement with adidas which began on 1 August 2015 and now terminates on 30 June 2035. The minimum guarantee payable over the term of this extended agreement is £750 million per the original term and an additional £900 million due under the extension, resulting in a total of £1,650 million, subject to certain adjustments. Payments due in a particular year may increase if the club’s men’s or women’s first teams win the Premier League or Women’s Super League respectively, FA Cup or continental competitions with the maximum possible increase being £4.4 million per annum. Payments may decrease if the men’s first team fails to participate in the UEFA Champions League. Under the original term, if the men’s first team did not participate in the UEFA Champions League for two or more consecutive seasons, a deduction of 30% was made in the second or other consecutive year of non-participation. As a result of the men’s first team qualifying for the 2023/24 Champions League, no deductions are due under the original term and there is no critical accounting estimate in relation to the original term. Under the extended term, this clause has been amended to state that a £10 million deduction will be applied for each year of non-participation in the UEFA Champions League, commencing from the 2025/26 season and a critical accounting estimate exists in estimating the value of any such deductions over the life of the contract.

The total revenue of this contract including the estimated deduction in respect of the Champions League clause is recognized evenly over the life of contract and the impact of changing the estimated deduction by one year on revenue recognized in any one financial year is £0.8 million.

ii)

Broadcasting

Broadcasting revenue represents revenue receivable from all UK and overseas broadcasting contracts, including contracts negotiated centrally by the Premier League and UEFA. Distributions from the Premier League comprise a fixed element (which is recognized evenly as each performance obligation is satisfied i.e. as each Premier League match is played), facility fees for live coverage and highlights of domestic home and away matches (which are recognized when the respective performance obligation is satisfied i.e. the respective match is played), and merit awards (which, being variable consideration, are recognized when each performance obligation is satisfied i.e. as each Premier League match is played, based on management’s estimate of where the men’s first team will finish at the end of the football season i.e. the most likely outcome and to the extent that it is deemed highly probably that no revenue recognized will be reversed). Distributions from UEFA relating to participation in European competitions comprise market pool payments (which are recognized over the matches played in the competition, a portion of which reflects Manchester United’s performance relative to the other Premier League clubs in the competition), fixed amounts for participation in individual matches (which are recognized when the matches are played) and an individual club coefficient share (which is recognized over the group stage matches).

iii)

Matchday

Matchday revenue is recognized based on matches played throughout the year with revenue from each match (including season ticket allocated amounts) only being recognized when the performance obligation is satisfied i.e. the match has been played. Revenue from related activities such as Conference and Events or the Museum is recognized as the event or service is provided or the facility is used. Matchday revenue includes revenue receivable from all domestic and European match day activities from Manchester United games at Old Trafford, together with the Group’s share of gate receipts from domestic cup matches not played at Old Trafford, and fees for arranging other events at the Old Trafford stadium. As the Group acts as the principal in the sale of match tickets, the share of gate receipts payable to the other participating club and competition organizer for domestic cup matches played at Old Trafford is treated as an operating expense.

6            Revenue from contracts with customers

6.1

Disaggregation of revenue from contracts with customers

The principal activity of the Group is the operation of men’s and women’s professional football clubs. All of the activities of the Group support the operation of the football clubs and the success of the men’s first team in particular is critical to the on-going development of the Group. Consequently, the chief operating decision maker (being the Board and executive officers of Manchester United plc) regards the Group as operating in one material segment, being the operation of professional football clubs.

All revenue derives from the Group’s principal activity in the United Kingdom. Revenue can be analysed into its three main components as follows:

	Three months ended 31 March					Nine months ended 31 March

Commercial, broadcasting and matchday consideration which is received in advance of the performance obligation being satisfied is treated as a contract liability (deferred revenue). The deferred revenue is then recognized as revenue when the performance obligation is satisfied. The Group receives substantial amounts of deferred revenue prior to the previous financial year end which is then recognized as revenue throughout the current and, where applicable, future financial years.

Tax is recognized based on management’s estimate of the weighted average annual tax rate expected for the full financial year. Based on current forecasts, the estimated weighted average annual tax rate used for the year to 30 June 2024 is 14.52% (30 June 2023: (20.99%)).

The current year estimated weighted average annual tax rate of 14.52% is driven by costs not deductible in the UK associated with the strategic review, which reduces carried forward losses.

The prior year estimated weighted average annual tax rate of 20.99% was also largely driven by the UK deferred tax movements.

In addition to the amounts recognized in the statement of profit or loss, the following amounts relating to tax have been recognized in other comprehensive income:

	Three months ended 31 March				Nine months ended 31 March

(i)

Basic loss per share

Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss for the period by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period.

(ii)

Diluted loss per share

Diluted loss per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. The Company has 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, or, if later, the date of issue of the potential ordinary shares.

(iii)

Weighted average number of shares used as the denominator

	Three months ended 31 March						Nine months ended 31 March
	2024 Number ‘000			2023 Number ‘000			2024 Number ‘000			2023 Number ‘000

Weighted average number of ordinary shares used as the denominator in calculating basic loss per share		165,823			163,062			164,040			163,062
Weighted average number of ordinary shares and potential ordinary shares used as the denominator in calculating diluted loss per share⁽¹⁾		165,823			163,062			164,040			163,062

⁽¹⁾ For the three and nine months ended 31 March 2024 and the three and nine months ended 31 March 2023, potential ordinary shares are anti-dilutive, as their inclusion in the diluted loss per share calculation would reduce the loss per share, and hence have been excluded.

(iii)          The group’s leasing activities and how these are accounted for

The Group leases various offices and equipment. All leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value, are recognized as a right-of-use asset, with a corresponding lease liability, at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the Group.

The lease agreements do not impose any covenants other than the security interests in the right-of-use assets that are held by the lessor. Right-of-use assets may not be used as security for borrowing purposes.

Lease liabilities are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net present value of lease payments, less any lease incentives receivable. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be determined, which is generally the case for leases of the Group, the Group’s incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the Group would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment with similar terms, security and conditions.

Lease payments are allocated between principal and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.

Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost comprising the following:

●

the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability;

●

any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received;

●

any initial direct costs; and

●

restoration costs.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis. Payments associated with short-term leases of property, plant and equipment and all leases of low-value assets are recognized on a straight-line basis as an expense in profit or loss. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less.

Investment properties were externally valued as of 30 June 2023 in accordance with the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (“RICS”) Valuation - Global Standards 2017 on the basis of Fair Value (as defined in the Standards). The fair value of investment properties as of 30 June 2023 was £32,970,000. Management has considered the carrying amount of investment property as of 31 March 2024 and concluded that, as there are no indicators of impairment, an impairment test is not required.

The fair value of investment properties is determined using inputs that are not based on observable market data, consequently the asset is categorized as Level 3.

Impairment tests for goodwill

Goodwill is not subject to amortization and is tested annually for impairment (normally at the end of the third fiscal quarter) or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment.

An impairment test has been performed on the carrying value of goodwill based on value-in-use calculations. The value-in-use calculations have used pre-tax cash flow projections based on the financial budgets approved by management covering a five year period. The budgets are based on past experience in respect of revenues, variable and fixed costs, registrations and other capital expenditure and working capital assumptions. For each accounting period, cash flows beyond the five year period are extrapolated using a terminal growth rate of 2.0% (2023: 2.0%), which does not exceed the long term average growth rate for the UK economy in which the cash generating unit operates.

The other key assumptions used in the value in use calculations for each period are the pre-tax discount rate, which has been determined at 11.6% (2023: 11.8%) for each period and certain assumptions around progression in and qualification for domestic and European cup competitions, notably the Champions League.

Management determined budgeted revenue growth based on historic performance and its expectations of market development. The discount rates are pre-tax and reflect the specific risks relating to the business.

The following sensitivity analysis was performed:

●

increase the discount rate by 1% (post-tax);

●

more prudent assumptions around qualification for European competitions; and

●

increase future capital expenditure.

In each of these scenarios the estimated recoverable amount substantially exceeds the carrying value for the cash generating unit and accordingly no impairment was identified.

Having assessed the future anticipated cash flows, management believes that any reasonably possible changes in key assumptions would not result in an impairment of goodwill.

Significant estimates – fair value of registrations

The costs associated with the acquisition of players’ and key football management staff registrations include an estimate of the fair value of any contingent consideration. The estimate of the fair value of the contingent consideration payable requires management to assess the likelihood of specific performance conditions being met which would trigger the payment of the contingent consideration. This assessment is carried out on an individual basis. The maximum additional amount that could be payable as of 31 March 2024 is disclosed in Note 31.1. The estimate over the probability of contingent consideration payable could impact the net book value of registrations and amortization recognized in the statement of profit or loss.

Other intangible assets

Other intangible assets include internally generated assets whose cost and accumulated amortization as of 31 March 2024 was £2,103,000 and £2,103,000 respectively (31 March 2023: £2,103,000 and £2,103,000 respectively).

18          Deferred tax

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where the Group has a legally enforceable right to do so. The following is the analysis of the deferred tax balances (after allowable offset) for financial reporting purposes:

(1,939

)

The movements in the net deferred tax asset/(liability) are as follows:

	31 March 2024 £’000			30 June 2023 £’000			31 March 2023 £’000
At the beginning of the period		(3,304	)		(7,402	)		(7,402	)
Credited to the statement of profit or loss (Note 11)		13,193			4,801			5,815
Credited/(expensed) to other comprehensive income (Note 11)		1,437			(1,018	)		(352	)
(Expense)/credit relating to share-based payments		(316	)		315			-
At the end of the period		11,010			(3,304	)		(1,939	)

Group profits are subject to both UK and US corporate tax. The current US federal corporate income tax rate is 21% compared to the UK corporation tax rate of 25%. As the UK corporation tax rate is higher than the US federal corporate income tax rate, it is forecast that all future US cash tax will be sheltered by foreign tax credits derived from UK tax paid. A potential US deferred tax asset at the period end has therefore not been recognised as it is not forecast to give rise to a future economic benefit. Future increases in the US federal corporate income tax rate could result in the recognition of the US deferred tax asset.

The deferred tax asset at 31 March 2024 relates to carried forward losses, partially offset by deferred tax liabilities in relation to tangible and intangible assets.

Significant estimates – recognition of deferred tax assets

Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that the associated deductions will be available for use against future profits and that there will be sufficient future taxable profit available against which the temporary differences can be utilized, provided the asset can be reliably quantified. In estimating future taxable profit, management use “base case” approved forecasts which incorporate a number of assumptions, including a prudent level of future uncontracted revenue in the forecast period. In arriving at a judgment in relation to the recognition of deferred tax assets, management considers the regulations applicable to tax, advice on their interpretation and potential future business planning. Future taxable income may be higher or lower than estimates made when determining whether it is appropriate to record a tax asset and the amount to be recorded. Furthermore, changes in the legislative framework or applicable tax case law may result in management reassessing the recognition of deferred tax assets in future periods.

Fair value hierarchy

Derivative financial instruments are carried at fair value. The different levels used in measuring fair value have been defined in accounting standards as follows:

●

Level 1 – the fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the end of the reporting period.

●

Level 2 - the fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques which maximize the use of observable market data and as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in Level 2.

●

Level 3 – if one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in Level 3.

All of the financial instruments detailed above are included in Level 2.

The Company has two classes of ordinary shares outstanding: Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares, each with a par value of $0.0005. The rights of the holders of Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares are identical, except with respect to voting and conversion. Each Class A ordinary share is entitled to one vote per share and is not convertible into any other shares. Each Class B ordinary share is entitled to 10 votes per share and is convertible into one Class A ordinary share at any time. In addition, Class B ordinary shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares upon certain transfers and other events, including upon the date when holders of all Class B ordinary shares cease to hold Class B ordinary shares representing, in the aggregate, at least 10% of the total number of Class A and Class B ordinary shares outstanding. For special resolutions (which are required for certain important matters including mergers and changes to the Company’s governing documents), which require the vote of two-thirds of the votes cast, at any time that Class B ordinary shares remain outstanding, the voting power permitted to be exercised by the holders of the Class B ordinary shares will be weighted such that the Class B ordinary shares shall represent, in the aggregate, 67% of the voting power of all shareholders.

Subsequent to the transaction that saw Trawlers Limited acquire 26.2% of all Class A shares and 25% of all Class B shares in Manchester United plc in February 2024, an issue of 6,060,060 additional shares was made to Trawlers Limited for proceeds of $200,000,000. A further $100,000,000 issue is due to be made by the end of December 2024.

As of 31 March 2024, the Company’s issued share capital comprised 56,601,130 Class A ordinary shares and 114,301,320 Class B ordinary shares.

1,682,896 Class A ordinary shares are currently held in treasury. Distributable reserves have been reduced by £21,305,000, being the consideration paid for these shares. See Note 24.

29            Pension arrangements

The Group participates in the Football League Pension and Life Assurance Scheme (‘the Scheme’). The Scheme is a funded multi-employer defined benefit scheme where members may have periods of service attributable to several participating employers. The Group is unable to identify its share of the assets and liabilities of the Scheme and therefore accounts for its contributions as if they were paid to a defined contribution scheme. The Group has received confirmation that the assets and liabilities of the Scheme cannot be split between the participating employers. The Group is advised only of the additional contributions it is required to pay to make good the deficit. These contributions could increase in the future if one or more of the participating employers exits the Scheme.

The last triennial actuarial valuation of the Scheme was carried out at 31 August 2020 where the total deficit on the ongoing valuation basis was £27.5 million. The accrual of benefits ceased within the Scheme on 31 August 1999, therefore there are no contributions relating to current accrual. The Group pays monthly contributions based on a notional split of the total expenses and deficit contributions of the Scheme.

The Group currently pays total contributions of £573,000 per annum and this amount will increase by 5% per annum from September 2024. Based on the existing actuarial valuation assumptions, this will be sufficient to pay off the deficit by 30 April 2025.

As of 31 March 2024, the present value of the Group’s outstanding contributions (i.e. its future liability) is £634,000. This amounts to £634,000 (30 June 2023: £567,000; 31 March 2023: £561,000) due within one year and £nil (30 June 2023: £491,000; 31 March 2023: £634,000) due after more than one year and is included within other payables.

Contributions are also made to defined contribution pension arrangements and are charged to the statement of profit or loss in the period in which they become payable.

30            Financial risk management

30.1         Financial risk factors

The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange risk, and cash flow and fair value interest rate risk), credit risk, and liquidity risk.

The interim consolidated financial statements do not include all financial risk management information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, they should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended 30 June 2023, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on 27 October 2023, contained within the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F.

There have been no changes in risk management since the previous financial year end or in any risk management policies.

30.2         Hedging activities

The Group uses derivative financial instruments to hedge certain exposures and has designated certain derivatives as hedges of cash flows (cash flow hedge).

The Group hedges the foreign exchange risk on contracted future US dollar revenues whenever possible using the Group’s US dollar net borrowings as the hedging instrument. The foreign exchange gains or losses arising on re-translation of the Group’s US dollar net borrowings used in the hedge are initially recognized in other comprehensive income, rather than being recognized in the statement of profit or loss immediately. Amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the hedging reserve are subsequently reclassified into the statement of profit or loss in the same accounting period, and within the same statement of profit or loss line (i.e. commercial revenue), as the underlying future US dollar revenues, which given the varying lengths of the commercial revenue contracts will be between April 2024 to June 2027. The foreign exchange gains or losses arising on re-translation of the Group’s unhedged US dollar borrowings are recognized in the statement of profit or loss immediately (within net finance costs). The table below details the net borrowings being hedged at the balance sheet date:

	31 March 2024 $’000			30 June 2023 $’000			31 March 2023 $’000
USD borrowings		650,000			650,000			650,000
Hedged USD cash		(13,000	)		(57,500	)		(25,311	)
Net USD debt		637,000			592,500			624,689
Hedged future USD revenues ⁽¹⁾		(383,500	)		(52,000	)		(48,780	)
Unhedged USD borrowings		253,500			540,500			575,909
Closing USD exchange rate ($: £)		1.2632			1.2716			1.2369

⁽¹⁾ A further portion of the profit and loss exposure (within net finance costs) on unhedged USD borrowings is naturally offset by the fair value of foreign exchange based embedded derivatives in host Commercial revenue contracts.

30            Financial risk management (continued)

30.2         Hedging activities (continued)

The Group hedges its cash flow interest rate risk where considered appropriate using interest rate swaps. Such interest rate swaps have the economic effect of converting a portion of variable rate borrowings from floating rates to fixed rates. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap is initially recognized in other comprehensive income, rather than being recognized in the statement of profit or loss immediately. Amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the hedging reserve are subsequently reclassified into the statement of profit or loss in the same accounting period, and within the same statement of profit or loss line (i.e. net finance costs), as the underlying interest payments, which given the term of the swap will be between April 2024 to June 2024. The following table details the interest rate swaps at the reporting date that are used to hedge borrowings:

As of 31 March 2024, the fair value of the above interest rate swaps was an asset of £1,347,000 (30 June 2023: asset of £4,173,000; 31 March 2023: asset of £3,809,000).

The Group also seeks to hedge the majority of the foreign exchange risk on revenue arising as a result of participation in UEFA club competitions, either by using contracted future foreign exchange expenses (including player transfer fee commitments) or by placing forward foreign exchange contracts, at the point at which it becomes reasonably certain that it will receive the revenue. The Group also seeks to hedge the foreign exchange risk on other contracted future foreign exchange expenses using available foreign exchange cash balances and forward foreign exchange contracts.

Summary of hedging reserve

The Group’s hedging reserve comprises of two separate hedging reserves, the cash flow hedge reserve and the cost of hedging reserve. Details of balances in each reserve (net of tax) are shown below.

	At 31 March 2024 £’000			At 30 June 2023 £’000		At 31 March 2023 £’000

31            Contingent liabilities and contingent assets

31.1         Contingent liabilities

The Group had contingent liabilities at 31 March 2024 in respect of:

(i)             Transfer fees

Under the terms of certain contracts with other football clubs and agents in respect of player transfers, additional amounts, in excess of the amounts included in the cost of registrations, would be payable by the Group if certain substantive performance conditions are met. These excess amounts are only recognized within the cost of registrations when the Group considers that it is probable that the condition related to the payment will be achieved. The maximum additional amounts that could be payable is £153,570,000 (30 June 2023: £133,142,000; 31 March 2023: £145,386,000). No material adjustment was required to the amounts included in the cost of registrations during the period (2023: no material adjustments) and consequently there was no material impact on the amortization of registration charges in the statement of profit or loss (2023: no material impact). As of 31 March 2024, the potential amount payable by type of condition and category of player was:

Type of condition	First team squad £’000		Other £’000		Total £’000
MUFC appearances/team success/new contract		71,271		37,267		108,538
International appearances		10,361		1,725		12,086
Awards		31,555		241		31,796
Other		912		238		1,150
		114,099		39,471		153,570

(ii)            Tax matters

We are currently in active discussions with UK tax authorities over a number of tax areas in relation to arrangements with players and players' representatives. It is possible that in the future, as a result of discussions between the Group and UK tax authorities, as well as discussions UK tax authorities are holding with other stakeholders within the football industry, interpretations of applicable rules will be challenged, which could result in liabilities in relation to these matters. The information usually required by IAS 37 ‘Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets’, is not disclosed on the grounds that it is not practicable to be disclosed.

31.2         Contingent assets

(i)             Transfer fees

Under the terms of certain contracts with other football clubs in respect of player transfers, additional amounts would be payable to the Group if certain specific performance conditions are met. In accordance with the recognition criteria for contingent assets, such amounts are only disclosed by the Group when probable and recognized when virtually certain. As of 31 March 2024, the amount of such receipt considered to be probable was £nil (30 June 2023: £nil; 31 March 2023: £nil).

These amounts are not recognized as liabilities.

33            Events occurring after the reporting period

33.1         Registrations

Subsequent to 31 March, the playing registrations of certain footballers have been disposed of. Total net proceeds were £4,369,000 and the associated net book value was £60,000. Additionally, solidarity contributions, training compensation, sell-on fees and contingent consideration totalling £4,395,000 became receivable in respect of the previous disposal of playing registrations.

Also subsequent to 31 March 2024, the playing registrations of certain players and football management staff were acquired or extended for a total consideration, including associated costs, of £6,075,000. Sell-on fees and contingent consideration totalling £118,000 became payable in respect of previous playing registrations.

33.2         Repayment of revolving facilities

On 8 May 2024, a repayment under our bilateral revolving facility with Bank of America of £10 million was made. This took the total drawdown as of 8 May 2024 to £130 million from available facilities of £300 million.

On 10 June 2024, a further repayment of the Group’s revolving facilities of £100 million was made. This comprised of a repayment of £70 million under our initial facility with Bank of America and a £30 million repayment under our facility with Santander. This took the total drawdown as of 10 June 2024 to £30 million from available facilities of £300 million.

33.3         Changes to management personnel

On 30 April 2024, the Group announced further changes to its executive leadership. By mutual consent, Patrick Stewart, interim Chief Executive Officer, and Cliff Baty, Chief Financial Officer, decided to leave the club as of the end of the season. Patrick has been replaced as Chief Executive Officer on an interim basis by Jean Claude Blanc until the arrival of Omar Berrada on July 13th. Cliff Baty has been replaced as Chief Financial Officer by Roger Bell.

33.4         Extension of revolving facilities

On 28 June 2024, we extended our initial revolving facility of £150 million to expire on 25 June 2027. This is consistent with our other revolving facilities, resulting in the total capacity of £300 million now expiring on 25 June 2027.

34            Related party transactions

As of 31 March 2024, trusts and other entities controlled by six lineal descendants of Mr. Malcolm Glazer collectively own 3.16% of our issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares and 72.31% of our issued and outstanding Class B ordinary shares, representing 69.14% of the voting power of our outstanding capital stock.

As of 31 March 2024, Trawlers Limited, an entity wholly owned by Sir Jim Ratcliffe, owns 27.69% of our issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares and 27.69% of our issued and outstanding Class B ordinary shares, representing 27.69% of the voting power of our outstanding capital stock.
