&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **Operating profit for the quarter was £13.0 million, compared with an operating loss of £7.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, as the Club continues to see the impact of operating cost and headcount reduction programs implemented during the previous year;** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **The men's first team is currently positioned 6th in the Premier League; our women's first team is currently 3rd in the Women's Super League and successfully qualified for the league phase of the UEFA Women's Champions League for the first time;** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **Partnerships extended with Canon Medical Systems and Concha y Toro, continuing more than a decade of collaboration with both partners;** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **For Fiscal 2026, the company reiterates its prior guidance of total revenues of £640 million to £660 million and adjusted EBITDA of £180 million to £200 million** 

MANCHESTER, England – 11 December 2025 – Manchester United (NYSE: MANU; the "Company" and the "Group") today announced financial results for the 2026 fiscal first quarter ended 30 September 2025.

**<u>Management Commentary</u>**

Omar Berrada, Chief Executive Officer, commented, "These robust financial results reflect the resilience of Manchester United as we make strong progress in our transformation of the club. The difficult decisions we have made in the past year have resulted in a sustainably lower cost base and a more streamlined, effective organisation equipped to drive the club towards improved sporting and commercial performance over the long-term. That has helped us to invest in our men's and women's teams, sitting in sixth and third places in the Premier League and Women's Super League respectively."

**<u>Outlook</u>**

For fiscal 2026, the Company reiterates its full year revenue guidance of £640 million to £660 million and adjusted EBITDA guidance of £180 million to £200 million.

<sup>(1)</sup> Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted loss for the period and adjusted basic loss per share are non-IFRS measures. See "Non-IFRS Measures: Definitions and Use" on page 6 and the accompanying Supplemental Notes for the definitions and reconciliations for these non-IFRS measures and the reasons we believe these measures provide useful information to investors regarding the Group's financial condition and results of operations.

<sup>(2)</sup> In addition to non-current borrowings, the Group maintains a revolving credit facility which varies based on seasonal flow of funds. The outstanding balance of the revolving credit facility as of 30 September 2025 was £265.0 million and total current borrowings including accrued interest payable was £268.0 million.

**<u>Revenue Analysis</u>**

***Commercial***

Commercial revenue for the quarter was £84.2 million, a decrease of £1.1 million, or 1.3%, over the prior year quarter.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· *Sponsorship* revenue was £47.0 million,
a decrease of £4.8 million, or 9.3%, over the prior year quarter due to changes in our commercial partner mix.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· *Retail, Merchandising, Apparel & Product Licensing* revenue was £37.2 million, an increase of £3.7 million, or 11.0%, over the prior year quarter, due to the impact
of a full three months' trading under our new e-commerce model, compared to only one month in the prior year quarter.

***Broadcasting***

 ****

Broadcasting revenue for the quarter was £29.9 million, a decrease of £1.4 million, or 4.5%, over the prior year quarter, primarily due to our men's first team participating in the UEFA Europa League in the prior year quarter, with no UEFA competition in the current year quarter.

***Matchday***

 ****

Matchday revenue for the quarter was £26.2 million, a decrease of £0.3 million, or 1.1%, over the prior year quarter.

**<u>Other Financial Information</u>**

***Operating expenses***

Total operating expenses for the quarter were £172.4 million, a decrease of £13.2 million, or 7.1%, over the prior year quarter. This decrease is explained by category below.

***Employee benefit expenses***

Employee benefit expenses for the quarter were £73.6 million, a decrease of £6.6 million, or 8.2%, over the prior year quarter, primarily due to the impact of headcount reduction programs implemented in the prior year.

***Other operating expenses***

 ****

Other operating expenses for the quarter were £39.8 million, an increase of £0.6 million, or 1.5%, over the prior year quarter.

 **

***Depreciation and amortization***

 **

Depreciation for the quarter was £4.8 million, an increase of £0.5 million, or 11.6%, over the prior year quarter. Amortization for the quarter was £54.1 million, an increase of £0.8 million, or 1.5%, over the prior year quarter. The unamortized balance of registrations at 30 September 2025 was £624.1 million, compared to £559.3 million at 30 September 2024.

***Exceptional items***

 ****

Exceptional items for the quarter were £nil. Exceptional items in the prior year quarter were a cost of £8.6 million. This comprised costs incurred in relation to the restructuring of the Group's operations, including the redundancy scheme implemented in the first quarter of financial year 2025.

***Profit on disposal of intangible assets***

 ****

Profit on disposal of intangible assets for the quarter was £45.0 million, an increase of £9.4 million, or 26.4%, from £35.6 million in the prior year quarter.

***Net finance (costs)/income***

Net finance costs for the quarter were £21.4 million, compared to net finance income of £8.6 million in the prior year quarter. This is primarily due to an unfavorable swing in foreign exchange rates resulting in unrealized foreign exchange losses on unhedged USD borrowings, compared to a favorable swing in the prior year quarter.

***Income tax***

The income tax credit for the quarter was £1.8 million, compared to an income tax expense of £0.3 million in the prior year quarter.

***Cash flows***

Overall cash and cash equivalents (including the effects of exchange rate movements) decreased by £5.6 million in the quarter to 30 September 2025 compared to the cash position at 30 June 2025.

Net cash outflow from operating activities for the quarter was £1.3 million, compared to net cash inflow of £13.3 million in the prior year quarter.

Net capital expenditure on property, plant and equipment for the quarter was £17.0 million, an increase of £6.7 million over the prior year quarter, primarily due to expenditure relating to the finalisation of the redevelopment of our men's first team facility at Carrington, which opened in August 2025.

Net capital expenditure on intangible assets for the quarter was £99.7 million, a decrease of £20.5 million over the prior year quarter, primarily due to increased proceeds from player sales in the current year quarter.

Net cash inflow from financing activities for the quarter was £102.7 million, compared to a net cash inflow of £199.9 million in the prior year quarter. This is due to a drawdown of £105.0 million on our revolving facilities in the current year quarter compared to a drawdown of £200.0 million in the prior year quarter.

***Balance sheet***

Our USD non-current borrowings as of 30 September 2025 were $650 million, which was unchanged from 30 September 2024. As a result of the year-on-year change in the USD/GBP exchange rate from 1.3412 at 30 September 2024 to 1.3449 at 30 September 2025, our non-current borrowings when converted to GBP were £481.2 million, compared to £481.7 million at the prior year quarter.

In addition to non-current borrowings, the Group maintains a revolving credit facility which varies based on seasonal flow of funds. Current borrowings, inclusive of accrued interest, at 30 September 2025 were £268.0 million compared to £232.3 million at 30 September 2024.

You should not place undue reliance on such statements because they are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties relating to the Company's operations and business environment, all of which are difficult to predict and many are beyond the Company's control. These statements often include words such as "may," "might," "will," "could," "would," "should," "expect," "plan," "anticipate," "intend," "seek," "believe," "estimate," "predict," "potential," "continue," "contemplate," "possible" or similar expressions. The forward-looking statements contained in this press release are based on our current expectations and estimates of future events and trends, which affect or may affect our businesses and operations. You should understand that these statements are not guarantees of performance or results. They involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Although the Company believes that these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, you should be aware that many factors could affect its actual financial results or results of operations and could cause actual results to differ materially from those in these forward-looking statements. These factors are more fully discussed in the "Risk Factors" section and elsewhere in the Company's Registration Statement on Form F-1, as amended (File No. 333-182535) and the Company's Annual Report on Form 20-F (File No. 001-35627) as supplemented by the risk factors contained in the Company's other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

**<u>Non-IFRS Measures: Definitions and Use</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**1.**  **<u>Adjusted EBITDA</u>** 

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as profit/(loss) for the period before depreciation, amortization, profit on disposal of intangible assets, net finance income/costs, exceptional items and tax.

Adjusted EBITDA is useful as a measure of comparative operating performance from period to period and among companies as it is reflective of changes in pricing decisions, cost controls and other factors that affect operating performance, and it removes the effect of our asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization), material volatile items (primarily profit on disposal of intangible assets and exceptional items), capital structure (primarily finance income/costs), and items outside the control of our management (primarily taxes). Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for an analysis of our results as reported under IFRS as issued by the IASB. A reconciliation of profit/(loss) for the period to adjusted EBITDA is presented in supplemental note 2.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.**  **<u>Adjusted loss for the period (i.e. adjusted net loss)</u>** 

Adjusted loss for the period is calculated, where appropriate, by adjusting for charges related to exceptional items, foreign exchange losses/gains on unhedged US dollar denominated borrowings and fair value movements on embedded foreign exchange derivatives, subtracting/adding the actual tax credit/expense for the period, and adding the adjusted tax credit for the period (based on an normalized tax rate of 25%; 2024: 25)%. The normalized tax rate of 25% is the current UK corporation tax rate. A reconciliation of loss for the period to adjusted loss for the period is presented in supplemental note 3.

**3.** **<u>Adjusted basic and diluted loss per share</u>**

Adjusted basic and diluted loss per share are calculated by dividing the adjusted loss for the period by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period. Adjusted diluted loss per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. There is one category of dilutive potential ordinary shares: share awards pursuant to the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Equity Plan"). Share awards pursuant to the Equity Plan are assumed to have been converted into ordinary shares at the beginning of the financial year. Adjusted basic and diluted loss per share are presented in supplemental note 3.

<sup>(1)</sup> For the three months ended 30 September 2025, potential ordinary shares are anti-dilutive, as their inclusion in the diluted loss per share calculation would reduce the loss per share, and hence have been excluded.

<sup>(2)</sup> For the three months ended 30 September 2024, potential ordinary shares are dilutive as their inclusion reduces the earnings per share, however this dilution does not have an impact upon rounding the earnings per share to two decimal places.
