Profitable Celtic accounts last year despite revenue dip

1143

Celtic released their financial results for the year to 30 June 2014 this afternoon.  The club remained profitable to the tune of £11.17m (2013: £9.74m) despite a 14$ drop in revenue to £64.74m.  The net cash position at the end of the year was hardly changed from the previous year at £3.83m.

Football and stadium revenue was down £4.4m, which correlates almost exactly to the £100 reduction in season ticket process for around 40,000 seats, but the biggest hit was to Multimedia and Commercial Activities, which were down £5.21m.  The bulk of this fall will be explained by finishing fourth in the Champions League group stage, instead of processing to the knock out stage, as we did in season 2012-13.

Celtic opened a new borrowing facility with the Co-op Bank two weeks ago to replace their existing facilities.  The club have a £6m overdraft (at base plus 1%) and £14.4m of long-term loans.

This high watermark will not be reached this season as revenue will struggle to reach £55m but it’s clear the club can support the current cost structure without needing to pair back.  The project for now is to get revenue back over £70 next season, and for that we’ll need to be better prepared come Champions League qualification time.

  1. This mornings front pages show us exactly what to expect from the MSM and the establishment until Thursday. I fear that a backlash from our leaders will be severe in the event of a close vote either way.

     

    The sand has shifted and the Yes campaign have been fighting a great fight against the established state powers and their paymasters from the banks and retail sponsors.

     

    We do love a fighter, but I ecpect a narrow win for No then watch the fur fly as the devo max “promises” are vetoed or watered down.

  2. The tricolour flies proudly all over Northern Ireland now – Paisley, I hope you roast in hell!

    Thanks for that link to that teachers account. If you are about next Saturday and fancy a beer drop me an e-mail. Kilbowie Kelt if you’re of a mind to you could ask Pajl for my e-mail address and we could have a beer too.

     

     

    Does anybody know where Jabba has gone?

    Good morning CQN, from a presently overcast Nordrhein Westfalen. This one is for the happy clappers and hopefully the Yes voters, next Friday, but especially for all us Tims because Celtic are playing again today:

    Hello auld yin ;-) I’m well.

     

    Sorry I never got back to u last night…..went for a bath with my new selection of toys….recommended by an esteemed poster on here.

     

     

    The OO, pity them and scorn them and laugh at them, they’re a shower ( prefer a bath maself ) of insignificunt scum bags.

     

    Growing up in Johnstone, there seemed to be one every other week, so it was good to have friends in high places…..the 12th storey to be more precise. We made our own entertainment, all we had was a bag of balloons, some natural body fluids, mainly of the liquid variety…mainly!!! and the occasional bic…..oh the fun.

     

     

    Are u meeting up for beer after the game? If so I might see u, I’ve got the car, but hoping to catch a beer with ma bro before he buggers off to Romania. Is there a definite meeting point?

    Absolutely agree with you.

     

    However,the dilemma for some of us is that Martin McGuinness referred to him as a friend.

    The major oil companies will block any such development.

    Paisley was a vile, evil, intolerant, aggressive scumbag.

     

     

    I won’t rejoice in his death however.

     

     

    I’m not an apologist.

    Ahhh timing youngster :-)

     

     

    I’ll need to plead the 5th regarding some of my run ins with the Orangies :-)

     

     

    I’m going to head out for a while after the game so hopefully will catch you for some warm milk and a Farley’s rusk :-)

     

     

    West Brewery I believe is the meeting venue.

    hours while we concentrate on our team.

    sorry mate, but i dont undertsand why you (and others) are not happy to see the back of a “vile, evil, intolerant, aggressive scumbag.”

     

     

    me? Im delighted

     

     

    and see all those folks just like him who are marching in Edinburgh this weekend, i would be glad to see the back of them too.

     

     

    and see that fitba team that they all congregate around, i would be glad to see the back of them too

     

     

    maybe, thats just me?

  18. Up and dressed and awaiting roll n skwerr before setting off for the train at Waverley Station, destination Celtic Park.

     

     

    Going early to avoid the nasty orange hordes who will pollute our beautiful capital with their nefarious presence.

     

     

    Will head for the Kerrydale Suite for a couple of pre-match libations. Will say hello to CQN corner, if I can find it this time.

     

     

    Looking forward to seeing the new Bhoys in action.

     

     

    2-0 Celtic.

  19. Was really looking forward to the game.

     

    Been up half the night being sick and have the trots.

     

    Had to give ma ticket away.

    walk out kds down towards superstore, cqn corner at pools office, tbj will probably be 1st there.

  21. I’ll admit. I smiled and let out a wee cheer when I heard about that fella passing away yesterday.

     

     

    Only second time in my life I have did that. Last one was Thatcher.

     

     

    Come to think of it, I wish Fred & Rosemarie West and had died before he before they partook in their crimes. I would cheer that type of scenario too.

     

     

    Would probably have cheered the death of someone like Hitler.

     

     

    Some people do not deserve our sympathy nor our societies need to hide the truth of our feelings.

     

     

    Bye Ian. Don’t let the fire burn you too much on the way down!

     

     

    MWD says AYE

  22. Thanks BT.

     

     

    I tried around there prior to Maribor and spoke to a group of 5 or 6.

     

     

    “Is this CQN corner?”

     

     

    “Whit?”

     

     

    Will try again mate.

     

     

    Hail Hail.

  23. blantyretim is praying for the Knox family on

    A few of us there prior to maribor game. Stand at the railings and weefra will look for you with his larkhall no1 badge on…unless Martim1980 has him over his shoulder 8))

     

    KTF.

  24. Just in from Dublin, swift trip to Ayrshire to see my dad(post minor op), back up for game and then airport and home. Weird not having the auld boy come with me for once!

     

     

    Looking forward to it, 3-1 to the Hoops

    Tom McL

     

    Send me your mobile number on FB & i will give details or try & meet you & point you in right direction. Know where they meet, not introduced myself, too quiet. Hopefully get there in time, my wife & eldest daughter are doing ‘pretty muddy’ at Belahouston at 11am & i am watching my granddaughter till they finish & then head to game, could be neat.

     

    I could also give you the mobile number of someone who meets there every game, he could keep you right too.

     

    Have a good day Tom.

  26. Morning all. Yet another beautiful day down here.

     

     

    Hope we will be playing the game beautifully at Celtic Park at lunchtime. Excitement at the prospective of visiting my home building as always.

    In answer to an enquiry of mine regarding his initial post, Chavez posted link at app 16:45 yesterday to access all MPs expenses.

     

     

    Try http://www.parliamentary-standards.org.uk Claims are broken down into various sub-headings like accommodation, travel, staff costs.

     

     

    JF Murphy’s claims over the past 4 years are particularly interesting. His staff costs increased from app £20k in 2012-3 to app £120 in 2013-4.

     

     

    Surely he isn’t employing a team of staff to do Better Together work?
