Liverpool FC Reports Financial Results for 2023-24 Season

Liverpool FC has submitted its annual financial accounts for the year ending May 31, 2024. The club achieved a record-breaking £308 million in commercial revenue but reported an overall pre-tax loss of £57 million.

Key Financial Highlights:

Media revenue declined by £38 million to £204 million, mainly due to participation in the Europa League instead of the Champions League. This was partially offset by higher Premier League media earnings.

Matchday revenue increased by £22 million to £102 million, driven by the opening of the Anfield Road Stand and more competitive fixtures at Anfield.

Commercial revenue saw the largest growth, rising by £36 million to £308 million, fueled by strong retail performance and new sponsorship deals.

Administrative costs increased by £38 million to £600 million, primarily due to salaries and operational expenses.

Overall revenue grew by £20 million to £614 million.

Commercial Growth and Partnerships

Liverpool secured four new global partners – UPS, Google Pixel, Peloton, and Orion Innovation – while Kodansha and Carlsberg extended their existing deals. Retail operations also achieved record revenues across seven global locations, including a new store in Dublin. The club’s e-commerce segment experienced significant growth, with over one million downloads of the official LFC Store app, now contributing nearly 20% of online sales.

Record-Breaking Fan Engagement and Digital Presence

LFC became the most-engaged Premier League club, generating 1.5 billion social media interactions and adding 37 million new followers. The club’s new WhatsApp channel emerged as the fastest-growing platform. According to Brand Finance’s 2024 report, Liverpool FC holds the strongest brand in the Premier League.

Squad Investments and On-Pitch Performance

The men’s team added four new signings – Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, Wataru Endo, and Ryan Gravenberch – while extending 11 contracts, including Kostas Tsimikas, Conor Bradley, and Ben Doak. The women’s team signed seven new players and renewed five contracts.

Community and Sustainability Impact

The LFC Foundation supported over 127,000 people, generating a social value of more than £90 million, including £56 million in health benefits. The club’s sustainability initiative, The Red Way, won multiple awards and is recognized as a leading ESG program in football.

Statement from CFO Jenny Beacham

LFC’s Chief Financial Officer, Jenny Beacham, emphasized the importance of financial sustainability amid rising costs. She highlighted the success of the club’s commercial ventures and the new Anfield Road Stand in boosting revenues. Beacham reaffirmed LFC’s commitment to financial regulations, continued investment in operations, and maintaining competitiveness at the highest level.

Liverpool FC aims to finish the season strongly both on and off the pitch, reinforcing its ambitions for future success.
