Hibs report a £3.9 million deficit as annual numbers for player sale transfer income are disclosed.

Hibs has declared that their loss for the fiscal year was £3.9 million.

In spite of a roughly 4% rise in turnover from 2022, the Easter Road club disclosed their financial results this morning in advance of the AGM next month. Additionally, they disclosed an operational deficit of approximately £6.9 million, despite having approximately £7.5 million in bank deposits. The club made slightly less than £3.2 million in player sales during that time, while they paid just under £8.5 million in salaries.

Bill Foley has officially joined Hibs as an investor. The owner of Bournemouth plans to contribute millions of dollars to the team’s finances for player transfers and other operational needs. But after they crashed out of the Viaplay Cup group stages under Lee Johnson this morning, they disclosed how their subpar performance on the field the previous season was a significant contributing reason in such defeats.

“The club kept increasing its revenue from sponsorships by upscaling its current sponsorship agreements and forming new partnerships. Despite moving up to fifth place in the league, our poor performance in the Cup competitions combined with the absence of European competition resulted in a weaker central distribution balance.

“Player trading produced a £3.2 million gain for the year as opposed to a £2.1 million gain the year before. Josh Doig and Kevin Nisbet are connected to the gain for the current year. By the end of June 2023, almost £2.5 million of this sum remained unpaid. The club feels confident about the year’s performance in player trading because it still has substantial sell-on clauses for both these sales and Scottish international Ryan Porteous.”
