Everton has posted record turnover and a post-tax profit of more than £30m. Turnover for the year amounted to £171.3m, almost £50m more than the previous highest recorded in 2014/15, a season in which the Club reached the last 16 of the UEFA Europa League.
Broadcast revenues accounted for most of the increase in turnover, with 2016/17 the first year of a record-breaking £5bn TV rights deal for the Premier League. The Club’s seventh place finish, up from 11th in 2015/16, boosted the merit share distribution from the Premier League and helped secure the seventh biggest share of TV revenue for the season, up from 10th in the previous season.
