Everton Unveils $112 Million Loss Amid Fight Against Relegation
Premier League side Everton revealed a staggering loss of £89.1 million ($112.5 million) for the 2022-23 season in their latest financial report released on Sunday. This figure marked a significant increase from the £44.7 million ($56.4 million) loss reported in the previous campaign.
The Merseyside Club found themselves at the center of financial scrutiny earlier this season after being docked six points for breaching the Premier League’s financial regulations. As they await further repercussions for potential additional breaches, Everton currently sits in 16th place on the league table, just three points above the relegation zone.
In their official statement, Everton highlighted the impact of the “indefinite suspension of key commercial partnerships” as a contributing factor to their financial woes.
According to reports by ESPN, Everton’s decision to sever ties with companies owned by Alisher Usmanov, the Russian metals tycoon who faced sanctions from the European Union following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, played a significant role in the club’s financial landscape.
Despite showing a profit of £47.5 million ($60 million) from player transfers, Everton’s net debt soared to £330.6 million ($417 million) due to what they described as “significant investment” in their new stadium project. The club’s turnover for the period stood at £172.2 million ($217.5 million).
With the Premier League’s regulations allowing clubs to incur a maximum loss of £105 million ($133 million) over a three-year period before facing potential sanctions, Everton’s latest financial report underscores the challenges they face in navigating financial sustainability amidst ambitious development projects and evolving commercial landscapes.
