Championship club Derby County have reported a loss of £11.3m for the financial year ending June 2025 – down just under £3m from the previous 12-month period.
An increase in revenue of £12.5m – up from £19.4m to £31.9m, chiefly down to broadcast income – coupled with the sale of defender Eiran Cashin to Premier League club Brighton in January for £9m, helped reduce overall losses.
Promotion to the Championship, secured two seasons ago, pushed income from television coverage up nearly £9m from 2024.
Around £12m was spent in the transfer market during the reporting term on players including Ebou Adams, Kenzo Goudmijn, Jacob Widell Zetterstrom, Sondre Langas, Lars-Jorgen Salvesen and Carlton Morris.
As well as the Cashin fee, money was also brought in by sales and sell-on clause deals from Liam Delap, Jayden Bogle, Morgan Whittaker and Jason Knight.
The compensation package paid to secure head coach John Eustace from Blackburn Rovers in February was part of an overall operating loss of £11.1m.
