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. Tricoloured Ribbon on

    That midfield looks very light to me.Johansen can consider himself very fortunate to be in the team as he has been atrocious in his last 4 games.

     

    Is Griffiths injured? Not even on the bench.

    If the UK want Scotland to pay off any debt then they better be nice :)

  3. Sandman….

     

     

    Barry Robson would still get in Celtic midfield as a first pick…..

     

     

    The guy who,more than most,won the title in 2008

     

     

    Wonderful player for Celtic that season……

     

     

    WGS knows a player when he sees one.

  4. Starryplough….

     

     

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder…..

     

     

    Don’t see anyone ‘good looking’ enough in that midfield to catch my daughter’s attention.

  9. Dexter. So in an independent Scotland we repatriate all the land for the mother country? Shall I add it to the list?

  10. Wud liked to have seen guidetti play, was fit enough for his country, on plus side good options on bench, hopefully manager has realised simply playing nice football not enough in Scotland, need a bit of steel an teams won’t stand bac and admire us, we no longer have fear factor, sheep will have a go, team need to be aware an set up for it, not sure any team has ever won anything without good defensive cover in midfield

    Neganon2,

     

    That depends on the terms of the separation doesn’t it.

     

    If we don’t exist currently as a nation state involved in Europe then we can’t have accrued any debt as a nation state now can we ?

  15. apologies for all the utter pash i’ve posted on here over the years, truly mortifying for me, things are improving and i am in a far more stable place.. Hail Hail

  16. phyllis dietrichson – it’s a result of international law on the succession of states. Unless the EU is prepared to go against the established norms of international law – and they’ve said they won’t – an independent Scotland would be regarded as a new entity which wouldn’t automatically inherit the treaty rights and obligations of the UK.

     

     

    There’s a good article in the Guardian about it here:

  17. The OO is an English problem foisted on us by England.

     

    The banking crisis was caused by England

     

    We will dismantle capitalism but at the same time attract industries and cut corporation tax

     

    Oil is more precious than water economically

     

    Vetoing no means you think the same as the OO or BNP but pointing out sectarian scottish behaviour like the OB and you are playing the orange card

     

    Politicians are bad but politicians in an independent country won’t be

     

    We will get the parliament that we want because we are all going to vote the same way but who cares about minorities within Scotland

     

    We will be a very wealthy country but will abandon the financial sector and capitalism

     

    Scotland will go it alone but retain the uk currency against the will of the uk

     

    Scotland will go it alone but be a member of the EU whether the EU wants it or not

     

    Scotland will retain the uk currency and be a member of the EU but not adopt the euro

     

    Socialist communist Marxist Scotland will still be a monarchy with Elizabeth, queen of scots our head

     

    We will eradicate anti Catholicism in an independent Scotland despite being 16% of th population.

     

    Scotland will create an oil fund while cutting corporation tax, borrowing at higher rates of interest, funding free university education, free care for the elderly, free prescriptions but not raise income tax and probably freeze council tax.

     

    Scotland will become an incredibly wealthy country but nationalise BP and the banks and of course dismantle it’s capitalist system.

     

    Scotland will get rid of trident but will be a member of NATO whether NATO likes it or not. That way we will have a small scottish defence force but still benefit from NATOs protection but not have to pay for it.

     

    Scotland will be an international powerhouse whilst it unilaterally dismantles capitalism.

    Scotland will repatriate all land for state ownership and the mother land

     

    Scotland will have no debt post separation because we will refuse to take on any debt shared with the uk. This is not to be confused with our stance on a single currency.

  19. Despite claims that, Scotlands parliament descending into mediocrity, independence will change it and it will become a vibrant parliament with the same politicians in it.

     

     

    The Scotland today, currently riddled with Masonic influence, will shake off that influence despite being riddled by Masonic influence.

     

     

    Scotland as a member of NATO, whether NATO likes it or not, will not engage with illegal wars or any conflicts which we don’t like but still get the protection that NATO brings.

     

     

    Scotland currently dependent on North Sea oil will not be dependent on North Sea oil despite being dep dent on North Sea oil.
