Basis of preparation | |
Basis of preparation | 2 Basis of preparation The interim consolidated financial statements of Manchester United plc have been prepared on a going concern basis and in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”. The interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended 30 June 2018, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on 28 September 2018, contained within the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F, which were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRS IC”) interpretations. The report of the auditors on those financial statements was unqualified and did not contain an emphasis of matter paragraph. The results of operations for the interim periods should not be considered indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year. |

Accounting policies | |
Accounting policies | 3 Accounting policies The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2018, except as described below. Taxes on income in the interim periods are accrued using the tax rate that would be applicable to expected total annual earnings. New and amended standards adopted by the Group The Group adopted IFRS 9 ‘Financial instruments’ and IFRS 15 ‘Revenue from contracts with customers’ with effect from 1 July 2018. Information on the implementation of new accounting standards is included in the Group’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended 30 June 2018 — note 2 “Summary of significant accounting policies — Changes in accounting policy and disclosures”. The implementation of IFRS 9 did not have a material impact on the Group’s financial statements as at 1 July 2018. The implementation of IFRS 15 did have a material impact on the Group’s financial statements as at 1 July 2018 and consequently prior year amounts have been restated. Further details can be found in note 34 to the interim consolidated financial statements. New and amended standards and interpretations issued but not yet adopted The following new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are not yet effective and have not been applied in preparing these interim consolidated financial statements. Adoption may affect the recognition, measurement and disclosures in the Group’s financial statements in the future. The adoption of these standards, amendments and interpretations is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group, except as set out below. · IFRS 16, “Leases” · The Group will adopt IFRS 16 from 1 July 2019. IFRS 16 introduces a single lease accounting model, requiring a lessee to recognize assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value. The lessee is required to recognize a right-of-use asset representing the right to use the underlying asset, and a lease liability representing the obligation to pay lease payments. Thus, leases classified as operating leases with lease payments recorded in the consolidated income statement under the existing accounting policy will be included in the consolidated balance sheet. · The Group has elected to apply the ‘simplified approach’ on initial adoption of IFRS 16, consequently comparative information will not be restated. The Group has also elected to apply the following transitional practical expedients: · lease liabilities will be measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the Group’s incremental borrowing rate as at 1 July 2019; · right-of-use assets will be measured at an amount equal to the lease liability. · The new treatment of leases will result in an increase in non-current assets and financial liabilities as these leases are capitalised as well as increasing underlying EBITDA, offset by an increase in depreciation and an increase in finance charges. This will result in a higher operating profit. The depreciation charge is constant over the lease period, but finance charges decrease as the remaining lease liability decreases, resulting in a net reduction in profit before tax in the early part of a lease arrangement but a positive profit impact towards the end of the contract in contrast to the typical straight-line treatment of existing operating lease expenses. · Based on existing operating lease commitments as at 31 December 2018, the Group expects to recognise right-of-use assets of approximately £4.8 million on 1 July 2019 and lease liabilities of a similar amount. The Group expects that profit before tax for the year ending 30 June 2020 will decrease by approximately £0.1 million as a result of adopting the new standard. Adjusted EBITDA and operating profit are expected to increase by approximately £1.4 million. Operating cash flows will increase and financing cash flows decrease by £1.3 million as repayment of the principal portion of the lease liabilities will be classified as cash flows from financing activities. · The Group’s activities as a lessor are not expected to be materially impacted by the new standard. There are no other IFRSs or IFRS IC interpretations that are not yet effective that would be expected to have a material impact on the Group. |

Estimates and judgements | |
Estimates and judgements | 4 Estimates and judgements The preparation of interim financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the interim consolidated financial statements are considered to be revenue recognition — minimum guarantee, impairment of goodwill and non-current assets, intangible assets — registrations contingent consideration estimates, tax, and recognition of deferred tax assets. In preparing these interim consolidated financial statements, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2018, with the exception of changes in estimates that are required in determining the provision for income taxes. |
Seasonality of revenue

Seasonality of revenue | |
Seasonality of revenue | 5 Seasonality of revenue We experience seasonality in our revenue and cash flow, limiting the overall comparability of interim financial periods. In any given interim period, our total revenue can vary based on the number of games played in that period, which affects the amount of Matchday and Broadcasting revenue recognized. Similarly, certain of our costs are derived from hosting games at Old Trafford, and these costs will also vary based on the number of games played in the period. We historically recognize the most revenue in our second and third fiscal quarters due to the scheduling of matches. However, a strong performance by our first team in European competitions and domestic cups could result in significant additional Matchday and Broadcasting revenue, and consequently we may recognize the most revenue in our fourth fiscal quarter in those years. Commercial revenue (whether settled in cash or value in kind) comprises revenue receivable from the exploitation of the Manchester United brand through sponsorship and other commercial agreements, including minimum guaranteed revenue, revenue receivable from retailing Manchester United branded merchandise in the UK and licensing the manufacture, distribution and sale of such goods globally, and fees for the Manchester United first team undertaking tours. For sponsorship contracts any additional revenue receivable over and above the minimum guaranteed revenue contained in the sponsorship and licensing agreements is taken to revenue when a reliable estimate of the future performance of the contract can be obtained and it is probable that the amounts will not be recouped by the sponsor in future years. Revenue is recognized over the term of the sponsorship agreement in line with the performance obligations included within the contract and based on the sponsorship rights enjoyed by the individual sponsor. In instances where the sponsorship rights remain the same over the duration of the contract, revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis. In respect of contracts with multiple elements, the Group allocates the total consideration receivable to each separately identifiable element based on their relative fair values, and then recognizes the allocated revenue on a straight-line basis over the relevant period of each element. Minimum guaranteed revenue under the agreement with adidas is subject to certain adjustments. Management’s current best estimate is that the full minimum guarantee amount will be received, as management do not expect two consecutive seasons of non-participation in the Champions League. Retail revenue is recognized at the point of sale while license revenue is recognized in the period in which the goods and services are provided. Broadcasting rights revenue represents revenue receivable from all UK and overseas media contracts, including contracts negotiated centrally by the Premier League and UEFA. In addition, broadcasting rights revenue includes revenue receivable from the exploitation of Manchester United media rights through the internet or wireless applications. Distributions from the Premier League comprise a fixed element (which is recognized evenly as domestic Premier League matches are played), facility fees for live coverage and highlights of domestic home and away matches (which are recognized when the respective match is played), and merit awards (which are recognized when domestic Premier League matches are played based on management’s estimate of where the first team will finish at the end of the football season). Distributions from UEFA relating to participation in European competitions comprise market pool payments (which are recognized over the matches played in the competition, a portion of which reflects Manchester United’s performance relative to the other Premier League clubs in the competition), fixed amounts for participation in individual matches (which are recognized when the matches are played) and an individual club coefficient share (which is recognized over the group stage matches). Matchday revenue is recognized based on matches played throughout the year with revenue from each match being recognized only when the match has been played. Revenue from related activities such as Conference and Events or the Museum is recognized as the event or service is provided or the facility is used. Matchday revenue includes revenue receivable from all domestic and European match day activities from Manchester United games at Old Trafford, together with the Group’s share of gate receipts from domestic cup matches not played at Old Trafford, and fees for arranging other events at the Old Trafford stadium. As the Group acts as the principal in the sale of match tickets, the share of gate receipts payable to the other participating club and competition organiser for domestic cup matches played at Old Trafford is treated as an operating expense. |

Segment information | |
Segment information | 6 Segment information The principal activity of the Group is the operation of men’s and women’s professional football clubs. All of the activities of the Group support the operation of the football clubs and the success of the men’s first team in particular is critical to the on-going development of the Group.

Tax is recognized based on management’s estimate of the weighted average annual tax rate expected for the full financial year. Based on current forecasts, the estimated weighted average annual tax rate used for the year to 30 June 2019 is 28.2% (30 June 2018: 30.9%). The prior year deferred tax expense included a non-cash, tax accounting write off of £49.0 million following the enactment of US tax reform on 22 December 2017. The non-cash write-off was primarily due to the reduction in the US federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, which necessitated re-measurement of the existing US deferred tax position in the period to 31 December 2017.

Management has considered the carrying amount of investment property as of 31 December 2018 and concluded that, as there are no indicators of impairment, an impairment test is not required. The external valuation was carried out on the basis of Market Value, as defined in the RICS Valuation — Professional Standards, January 2014. Fair value of investment property is determined using inputs that are not based on observable market data, consequently the asset is categorized as Level 3 (see note 30.3). |

Each Class A ordinary share is entitled to one vote per share and is not convertible into any other shares. Each Class B ordinary share is entitled to 10 votes per share and is convertible into one Class A ordinary share at any time.

The senior secured notes have a fixed coupon rate of 3.79% per annum and interest is paid semi-annually. The senior secured notes mature on 25 June 2027. The notes were issued by our wholly-owned subsidiary, Manchester United Football Club Limited, and are guaranteed by Red Football Limited, Red Football Junior Limited, Manchester United Limited and MU Finance Limited and are secured against substantially all of the assets of those entities and Manchester United Football Club Limited. These entities are wholly owned subsidiaries of Manchester United plc. The secured term loan facility of £173,880,000 (30 June 2018: £168,347,000; 31 December 2017: £164,178,000) is stated net of unamortized issue costs amounting to £2,040,000 (30 June 2018: £2,185,000; 31 December 2017: £2,328,000). The outstanding principal amount of the secured term loan facility is $225,000,000 (30 June 2018: $225,000,000; 31 December 2017: $225,000,000). The secured term loan facility attracts interest of US dollar LIBOR plus an applicable margin of between 1.25% and 1.75% per annum and interest is paid monthly. The remaining balance of the secured term loan facility is repayable on 26 June 2025, although the Group has the option to repay the secured term loan facility at any time. The secured term loan facility was provided to our wholly-owned subsidiary, Manchester United Football Club Limited, and is guaranteed by Red Football Limited, Red Football Junior Limited, Manchester United Limited, MU Finance Limited and Manchester United Football Club Limited and is secured against substantially all of the assets of each of those entities. These entities are wholly owned subsidiaries of Manchester United plc. The secured bank loan of £nil (30 June 2018: £3,750,000; 31 December 2017: £3,962,000) was repaid at par on 9 July 2018. The loan attracted interest of LIBOR + 1% per annum. The Group also has undrawn committed borrowing facilities of up to £125,000,000 (30 June 2018: £125,000,000; 31 December 2017: £125,000,000). The Group also has (subject to certain conditions) the ability to incur a further £25,000,000 by way of incremental facilities. The facility terminates on 26 June 2021 (although it may be possible for any incremental facilities to terminate after such date). Drawdowns would attract interest of LIBOR or EURIBOR plus an applicable margin of between 1.25% and 1.75% per annum (depending on the total net leverage ratio at that time). No drawdowns were made from these facilities during 2018 or 2017.

These excess amounts are only recognized within the cost of registrations when the Company considers that it is probable that the condition related to the payment will be achieved. For MUFC appearances, the Company estimates the probability of the player achieving the contracted number of appearances. The conditions relating to the signing of a new contract and international appearances are only considered to be probable once they have been achieved. The maximum additional amounts that could be payable is £66,184,000 (30 June 2018: £66,411,000; 31 December 2017: £62,446,000). At 31 December 2018 the potential amount payable by type of condition and category of player was: Type of condition First team Other Total MUFC appearances/team success/new contract International appearances Other Similarly, under the terms of contracts with other football clubs for player transfers, additional amounts would be payable to the Group if certain specific performance conditions are met. In accordance with the recognition criteria for contingent assets, such amounts are only disclosed by the Group when probable and recognized when virtually certain. As of 31 December 2018, the amount of such receipt considered to be probable was £2,063,000 (30 June 2018: £2,392,000; 31 December 2017: £547,000). |

Pension arrangements | |
Pension arrangements | 29 Pension arrangements The Group participates in the Football League Pension and Life Assurance Scheme (‘the Scheme’). The Scheme is a funded multi-employer defined benefit scheme, with 92 participating employers, and where members may have periods of service attributable to several participating employers. The Group is unable to identify its share of the assets and liabilities of the Scheme and therefore accounts for its contributions as if they were paid to a defined contribution scheme. The Group has received confirmation that the assets and liabilities of the Scheme cannot be split between the participating employers. The Group is advised only of the additional contributions it is required to pay to make good the deficit. These contributions could increase in the future if one or more of the participating employers exits the Scheme. The last triennial actuarial valuation of the Scheme was carried out at 31 August 2017 where the total deficit on the ongoing valuation basis was £30.4 million. The accrual of benefits ceased within the Scheme on 31 August 1999, therefore there are no contributions relating to current accrual. The Group pays monthly contributions based on a notional split of the total expenses and deficit contributions of the Scheme. The Group currently pays total contributions of £459,000 per annum and this amount will increase by 5% per annum from September 2019. Based on the actuarial valuation assumptions, this will be sufficient to pay off the deficit by 31 October 2023. As of 31 December 2018, the present value of the Group’s outstanding contributions (i.e. its future liability) is £2,423,000. This amounts to £446,000 (30 June 2018: £434,000; 31 December 2017: £428,000) due within one year and £1,977,000 (30 June 2018: £2,204,000; 31 December 2017: £506,000) due after more than one year and is included within other payables. Contributions are also made to defined contribution pension arrangements and are charged to the income statement in the period in which they become payable. |

Financial risk management | 30 Financial risk management 30.1 Financial risk factors The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk and interest rate risk), credit risk, and liquidity risk. The interim consolidated financial statements do not include all financial risk management information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, they should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended 30 June 2018, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on 28 September 2018, in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F. There have been no changes in risk management since the previous financial year end or in any risk management policies. 30.2 Hedging activities The Group uses derivative financial instruments to hedge certain exposures, and has designated certain derivatives as hedges of cash flows (cash flow hedge). The Group hedges the foreign exchange risk on contracted future US dollar revenues whenever possible using the Group’s US dollar net borrowings as the hedging instrument. The foreign exchange gains or losses arising on re-translation of the Group’s US dollar net borrowings used in the hedge are initially recognized in other comprehensive income, rather than being recognized in the income statement immediately. Amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the hedging reserve are subsequently reclassified into the income statement in the same accounting period, and within the same income statement line (i.e. commercial revenue), as the underlying future US dollar revenues, which given the varying lengths of the commercial revenue contracts will be between January 2019 to June 2023. The foreign exchange gains or losses arising on re-translation of the Group’s unhedged US dollar borrowings are recognized in the income statement immediately (within net finance costs). The table below details the net borrowings being hedged at the balance sheet date: 31 December 30 June 31 December USD borrowings Hedged USD cash ) ) ) Net USD debt Hedged future USD revenues ) ) ) Unhedged USD borrowings Closing USD exchange rate ($: £) The Group hedges its cash flow interest rate risk where appropriate using interest rate swaps. Such interest rate swaps have the economic effect of converting borrowings from floating rates to fixed rates. The following table details the interest rate swaps at the balance sheet date that are used to hedge borrowings: 31 December 30 June 31 December Principal value of loan outstanding ($’000) Rate received 1 month $ LIBOR 1 month $ LIBOR 1 month $ LIBOR Rate paid Fixed 2.032% Fixed 2.032% Fixed 2.032% Expiry date 30 June 2024 30 June 2024 30 June 2024 As of 31 December 2018 the fair value of the above interest rate swap was an asset of £2,504,000 (30 June 2018: asset of £4,490,000; 31 December 2017: asset of £907,000). The Group seeks to hedge the majority of the currency risk on revenue arising as a result of participation in UEFA competitions, either by using contracted future foreign currency expenses or by placing forward foreign exchange contracts, at the point at which it becomes reasonably certain that it will receive the revenue. 30.3 Fair value estimation The following table presents the financial instruments carried at fair value. The different levels used in measuring fair value have been defined as follows: · Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; · Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); · Level 3 - inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). 31 December 30 June 31 December Assets Derivatives used for hedging: (note 18): Interest rate swaps Derivatives at fair value through profit or loss (note 18): Embedded foreign exchange derivatives Forward foreign exchange contracts — The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined by using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is categorized as Level 2. All of the financial instruments detailed above are categorized as Level 2. |

Restatement of prior periods following implementation of IFRS 15 | |
Restatement of prior periods following implementation of IFRS 15 | 34 Restatement of prior periods following implementation of IFRS 15 The Group adopted IFRS 15 ‘Revenue from contracts with customers’ with effect from 1 July 2018. The implementation of IFRS 15 had an impact on the Group’s financial statements as at 1 July 2018 and consequently prior year amounts have been restated. The following tables and notes explain how this restatement affected the consolidated income statement, consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated balance sheet, and consolidated statement of cash flows. Commercial revenue IFRS 15 focuses on the identification and satisfaction of performance obligations and includes specific guidance on the methods for measuring progress towards complete satisfaction of a performance obligation therefore revenue on certain commercial contracts is recognized earlier under IFRS 15. The effect of the retrospective application is an increase in cumulative revenue recognized over the financial years up to and including the year ended 30 June 2018 including a reduction to the amount of revenue recognized during the financial year ended 30 June 2018 only. Broadcasting revenue Following adoption of IFRS 15, certain performance obligations are satisfied over time as each Premier League match (home and away) is played — accordingly revenue is recognized evenly as each Premier League match (home and away) is played. Broadcasting merit awards were previously recognized one share in the first quarter with the remainder being recognized when they were known at the end of each football season. Merit awards represent variable consideration and therefore, following adoption of IFRS 15, are estimated using the most likely amount method based on management’s estimate of where the Club’s finishing position will be at the end of each season. Broadcasting equal share payments were previously recognized evenly as each Premier League home match was played. Note, these changes only affect the amount of broadcasting revenue recognized in each quarter, they do not affect the amount of broadcasting revenue recognized for the financial year as a whole. Matchday revenue The adoption of IFRS 15 has no impact on the recognition of matchday revenue. Tax, deferred tax, hedging reserve, retained earnings and deferred revenue The impact of the above changes in revenue recognition has subsequent impact on tax (including deferred tax), accrued revenue, the hedging reserve, retained earnings and deferred revenue. Tax — adjustments to the tax expense and deferred tax are directly in line with the adjustments to revenue. Accrued revenue — adjustments to broadcasting merit award revenue impact accrued revenue as the revenue is received after the period in which the revenue is recognized. Hedging reserve — adjustments to commercial revenue impact the hedging reserve as the underlying US dollar revenue is initially hedged against a portion of the Group’s US dollar net borrowings. Amounts accumulated in the hedging reserve are reclassified to the income statement in the period when the hedged revenue is recognized in the income statement. Deferred revenue — all other adjustments to revenue impact deferred revenue as the revenue is received or receivable prior to the period in which the revenue is recognized.

Information on the implementation of new accounting standards is included in the Group’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended 30 June 2018 — note 2 “Summary of significant accounting policies — Changes in accounting policy and disclosures”. The implementation of IFRS 9 did not have a material impact on the Group’s financial statements as at 1 July 2018. The implementation of IFRS 15 did have a material impact on the Group’s financial statements as at 1 July 2018 and consequently prior year amounts have been restated. Further details can be found in note 34 to the interim consolidated financial statements. |
New and amended standards and interpretations issued but not yet adopted | New and amended standards and interpretations issued but not yet adopted The following new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are not yet effective and have not been applied in preparing these interim consolidated financial statements. Adoption may affect the recognition, measurement and disclosures in the Group’s financial statements in the future. The adoption of these standards, amendments and interpretations is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group, except as set out below. · IFRS 16, “Leases” · The Group will adopt IFRS 16 from 1 July 2019. IFRS 16 introduces a single lease accounting model, requiring a lessee to recognize assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value. The lessee is required to recognize a right-of-use asset representing the right to use the underlying asset, and a lease liability representing the obligation to pay lease payments. Thus, leases classified as operating leases with lease payments recorded in the consolidated income statement under the existing accounting policy will be included in the consolidated balance sheet. · The Group has elected to apply the ‘simplified approach’ on initial adoption of IFRS 16, consequently comparative information will not be restated. The Group has also elected to apply the following transitional practical expedients: · lease liabilities will be measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the Group’s incremental borrowing rate as at 1 July 2019; · right-of-use assets will be measured at an amount equal to the lease liability. · The new treatment of leases will result in an increase in non-current assets and financial liabilities as these leases are capitalised as well as increasing underlying EBITDA, offset by an increase in depreciation and an increase in finance charges. This will result in a higher operating profit. The depreciation charge is constant over the lease period, but finance charges decrease as the remaining lease liability decreases, resulting in a net reduction in profit before tax in the early part of a lease arrangement but a positive profit impact towards the end of the contract in contrast to the typical straight-line treatment of existing operating lease expenses. · Based on existing operating lease commitments as at 31 December 2018, the Group expects to recognise right-of-use assets of approximately £4.8 million on 1 July 2019 and lease liabilities of a similar amount. The Group expects that profit before tax for the year ending 30 June 2020 will decrease by approximately £0.1 million as a result of adopting the new standard. Adjusted EBITDA and operating profit are expected to increase by approximately £1.4 million. Operating cash flows will increase and financing cash flows decrease by £1.3 million as repayment of the principal portion of the lease liabilities will be classified as cash flows from financing activities. · The Group’s activities as a lessor are not expected to be materially impacted by the new standard. There are no other IFRSs or IFRS IC interpretations that are not yet effective that would be expected to have a material impact on the Group. |
