Seems like things are going pretty well!

Financial Highlights

Revenue for the year ended 30 June 2017 was at a record level of £306.3m (2016: £209.8m).

Premier League gate receipts were £19.0m (2016: £22.2m). Gate receipts decreased in comparison to the prior year as a result of the demolition of the North-East corner of White Hart Lane Stadium. The stadium continued to sell out for all Premier League home games, further underlining the need for an increased capacity stadium to meet demand and satisfy a waiting list for season tickets that has now risen to over 62,000.

The Club participated in the group stages of the UEFA Champions League and the round of 32 of the UEFA Europa League (2016: round of 16 of UEFA Europa League) resulting in gate receipts and prize money of £44.6m (2016: £18.7m).

Revenue from the domestic cup competitions earned the Club £5.0m (2016: £2.4m).

Television and media revenues rose to £149.8m (2016: £94.8m), due to the commencement of a new three-year Premier League broadcasting deal and a record second place league finish (2016: third).

Sponsorship and corporate hospitality revenue was £54.7m (2016: £48.8m) and merchandising revenue was £14.0m (2016: £12.0m).

Profit from operations, excluding football trading and before exceptional items and depreciation, was £117.6m (2016: £63.3m). Profit for the year after interest and tax was £41.2m (2016: £33.0m).

The Group has continued to invest significantly in construction work, professional fees and enabling works relating to the Northumberland Development Project (NDP) with the cumulative spend increasing from £115.3m to £315.1m during the period.

Group net assets are £227.2m (2016: £206.1m) whilst the Group has cash, net of all borrowing of £14.6m (2016: £47.6m).

Northumberland Development Project (NDP) Update

Following the demolition of White Hart Lane in May, 2017, the construction of the new stadium has significantly accelerated. The roof is in the process of being raised with many interior areas being fitted out; seats are currently being installed in the bowl along with the LED video screens. The Tottenham Experience, Museum and Retail store, which includes the restoration of the historic Warmington House, is well underway. Groundworks have been completed to Paxton House which will deliver a new Ticket Office and an additional retail store. Percy House has been painstakingly restored to its former glory and is now the new home of the Tottenham Hotspur Foundation.

We continue to push local and regional government regarding the timely delivery of the associated public sector infrastructure work and transport upgrades.

The stadium project continues to drive benefits to the local area. We have now delivered more than 1,200 jobs across many different sectors of employment.

The Lodge

The elite player accommodation facility for the First Team and Academy will open in May, 2018. This 46-bedroom facility will deliver an unparalleled environment for player rest and rehabilitation, further enhancing what is widely recognised as one of the best Training Centres in Europe. The Brazil national team will be using the facility for their pre-World Cup preparations.

Outlook

Chairman, Daniel Levy, said: “Extraordinary levels of financial and human resource have seen significant progress on capital projects, with schemes underway at both the new stadium site and our Training Centre.

“As custodians of the Club we are ever-conscious of the need to ensure the future stability of the Club whilst managing its growth.

“We are in an historic period for the Club and there is a growing sense of excitement. There will, however, be many challenges in the coming months as we near the latter stages of the construction of the new stadium and its opening.

“The drive and determination to deliver our best across all areas of the Club, together with the unity and support of all involved, will, I believe, see us meet those challenges.”

Nice. With the added attendence of wembley. The new nike deal, aia deal and getting out of the group stages of the cl our turnover should be pushing £400m in the next accounts.
Will still have to pay a lot of short term debt and refinance the overall debt but hopefully this does give us some wiggle room with new contracts and brining in one or two players.
All we need now is a massive naming rights deal and we are looking really good.

With new stadium CL NFL 16 events naming rights etc we should blast past £400m and be pushing city for 2nd biggest revenue. Yes ENIC may not have delivered the trophies. But we now have a foundation to be a force for the next 100 years. And not dependent on some sugar daddy.

Remember that other clubs have also had big increases to turnover. We will still be well behind city.

Looking at that very superficially (and hoping that someone more knowledgeable will be able to confirm or deny) What, to me at first look, seems interesting is that (with a net cash balance,) we had already paid £315m towards the stadium cost... With a projected cost of £800m (including surrounding development,) presuming we have been able to pay off an equivalent £200m (ish) over this year, this would leave only about £300m to finance... Could the whole development be paid off a lot quicker than anyone appears to realise?

Revenue of £306.3m (2016: £209.8m). Huge jump. 2017-2018 revenue should be even higher, possibly pushing £400m. We're currently 11th in the football "money league". Within the next 2 years (following our stadium move) we should be able to close the gap somewhat with the teams in 10th and 9th (Juventus and Liverpool) provided one of them doesn't go on and win the CL or something.

41.2m profit. Hopefully some of that is invested in new contracts for a few key players.

Wouldn't really hold much stock in the profits line... In reality that's just a figure they have decided they're willing to pay tax on this year.

They won’t have as big a jump as us. The new TV deal is in these figures. And Chelsea and Arsenal figures will go backwards with no CL.

Yep, good point. I suppose large companies can afford creative accountants :p

Chelsea had cl this season. City increased their capacity. They also had a new £50m puma deal as well as other sponsorship deals.
Chelsea signed a new £60m nike deal.

We are still behind but catching up.

Wow 300m before Wembley. So easily past 400 in new stadium, and meaning our wage bill can go up to 200m and still run at 50-55% of turnover. Making us genuinely competitive.

But I’d imagine that £315m includes loans and isn’t all our money. But I might be wrong.

Arsenal will be no CL now for 2 seasons unless they win Europa that’s got to start to impact. Plus if Wenger stays their ST sales could be interesting going from how empty stadium been of late.

Sorry you're right about arsenal.

As i said we are catching up. We'll see if we can overtake them in the next couple of years.

Our cl money mostly goes on player bonuses anyway though.

This is promising, especially as others have said this year will also improve considerably. Clear scope for another raft of contract updates and making the wages more on par with the big boys, and better than anyone in Europe aside from Madrid, Barca, PSG and Bayern. Time to dust off the Poch cardboard cut out!

Ties in nicely with the Telegraph article saying new deals for Poch (very competitive £8.5m a year!), Kane, Eriksen, Lloris, Vertonghen, Dele and Son. Fingers crossed it happens!
