So I went through the Villa (#avfc) end of year report and, here's my take on it. Record revenue of £378.1m — that's a 37% rise, up over £100m from last year. Highest turnover the club's ever seen, driven hard by the UCL run to the quarter finals plus commercial income exploding 69%> to £70m. Sponsorship alone up 31% to £28.6m. The commercial machine under Heck is chugging along as he intended. Especially from a £89.5m loss the year before, they've swung to a £17m profit after tax. The owners pumped £69.3m into capex — stadium hospitality upgrades, new retail spots, fan experience tweaks, Bodymoor Heath improvements, and getting The Warehouse over the line. North Stand redevelopment prep is now underway. Which can only be referred to as a smart money play going into infrastructure. They've done the internal restructuring play (women's team and Warehouse rights shifted within the NSWE group) — same loophole others have used because the Premier League left the door wide open after Chelsea and City. Like I said earlier "There should be no complaints here; if you want to compete, you use what's available until they close it." PSR-wise, this profit gives real breathing room in the rolling three-year calc. Previous years had heavy losses, but this £17m black number changes the picture. Villa stay fully compliant with the EPL rules. That means no more panic-selling your best players every summer just to balance the books. What this means for Villa's transfer spending next season? This creates proper legroom. You're talking potential net spend in the £30-80m+ range (before any sales *agreed or obligated* and exact rolling figures), assuming commercial keeps growing. Europa League means some UEFA income drop-off, but the commercial base is now more permanent and the stadium upgrades will keep feeding revenue. Less reliance on one big European run. NSWE have stuck to the plan: sustainable growth, invest in squad and the club itself, avoid the reckless overspend that kills clubs. They've already sunk hundreds of millions in — this shows the strategy is working. Bottom line: These are strong accounts. Villa have turned a corner financially. Record top line, first profit in ages, heavy but targeted investment in the future, and actual PSR flexibility heading into the next windows. No more "we must flog Watkins or Rogers" nonsense every close season. The club is in a far healthier spot than 12-18 months ago.

🖊️ #AVFC have just published their end of year accounts. Some highlights ⤵️ — 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐧-𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐡 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 — Villa finished sixth in the Premier League in 2024/25 and reached the Champions League quarter-finals, their first UCL campaign since 1982/83, marking three consecutive seasons of European football. — 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐮𝐞 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐝 𝟑𝟕% 𝐭𝐨 £𝟑𝟕𝟖.𝟏𝐦 — largely driven by Champions League participation, with sponsorship revenues up 31% to £28.6m and other commercial revenues up 69% to £70m, reflecting significant commercial progress. — 𝐌𝐚𝐣𝐨𝐫 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 — capital expenditure jumped to £69.3m (from just £16.4m the prior year), covering hospitality refurbishments, a new retail store, stadium upgrades, and continuing into 2025/26 with The Warehouse venue and Bodymoor Heath improvements. — £𝟏𝟕𝐦 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐢𝐭 — compared to a £89.5m loss the previous year, with the Club stating it remains compliant with the Premier League's Profit and Sustainability Rules, marking a significant turnaround in financial performance. — 𝐎𝐰𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠-𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐦 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐭𝐡 — the restructuring of the women's team and The Warehouse into a separate entity signals a strategy to attract external investment, while the announced North Stand redevelopment points to continued ambition in expanding Villa Park.
