Swansea post pre-tax loss of £15.2m

Swansea City announced a pre-tax loss of £15.2 million in the most recent fiscal year.

In contrast to the previous financial year’s post-tax loss of $17.9 million, the amount has decreased by £2.7 million.

For the year ending June 30th, 2024, the Championship side made a turnover of £21.5 million.

Additionally, they made a £10.5 million profit from player trading, which included the sale of Leeds United’s Joel Piroe.

Operational expenses increased by £4 million to £47 million in the most recent financial year as a result of Swansea’s significant squad turnover in the summer of 2023.

In the current fiscal year, the club claims to have “invested significantly” in the playing squad, with £6 million being spent on player registration costs.

After Russell Martin was replaced as head coach, the Swans selected right-back Josh Key, strikers Jerry Yates and Mykola Kuharevich, center-back Kristian Pedersen, and left-back Josh Tymon.

The signings of Przemysiaw Páacheta from Norwich City, Ronald from Gremio Anapolis, and Charles Sagoe Jr. on loan from Arsenal also come into play in the figures for the 2024 January transfer window.

The takeover of the club, which Andy Coleman, Brett Cravatt, Nigel Morris, and Jason Cohen took over the shares of former majority owners Jason Levien and Steve Kaplan, are not included in Swansea’s most recent accounts, which are yet to be fully disclosed on Companies House.

The club acknowledges that despite the fact that the size of the operational loss is a result of the EFL Championship’s current competitive environment, it will continue to concentrate on improving operational efficiency so that the resources available for the first-team squad can be boosted.

The costs associated with running a stadium and two training facilities are significant and growing.

The club will continue to rely on the ownership group’s support as its main source of funding despite the absence of any real-world opportunities for a redistribution agreement between the EFL and the Premier League.

Midway through the 2023-to-24 campaign, Luke Williams was appointed as the team’s head coach in January 2024.
