CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
The results for the six months ended 31 December 2023 show revenues of £85.2m (2022: £76.5m) and a profit from trading, representing the profit excluding other income and player related gains and charges, amounting to £32.0m (2022: profit of £28.1m). The profit before finance income & expense and taxation amounted to £28.5m (2022: £33.8m).
We benefited from Champions League qualification in both 2022 and 2023 and increased underlying revenue by £8.7m to £85.2m in the first half of 2023 relative to the same period last year. The key factors in this were higher UEFA distributions this year alongside a general incremental upturn in trading across almost all revenue streams. A significant portion of this revenue increase was re-invested into football wages and salaries resulting in the profit from trading of £32.0m noted above. Amortisation charges were broadly in line with the same period last year and gains from player trading amounted to £2.6m for the six months to 31 December 2023 (2022: £1.8m). These principally related to the disposal of Carl Starfelt and several contingent fees that crystalised in the period.
Profit before finance income & expense and taxation fell to £28.5m, down from £33.8m in the prior year, despite the significant revenue increase. This is attributable to the increase in the football related investment alongside the absence of a significant non-recurring insurance receipt recognised in the prior period.
From a funding perspective, the cash and cash equivalents balance reduced from £72.3m to £67.3m in the period under review. A significant proportion of this cash is committed to the creation of a new training centre at the Barrowfield site, the finalisation of the Lennoxtown developments and future stadium expenditure. The Board recognises the inherent inefficiencies of holding excess cash, and, in conjunction with other cash commitments, the importance of investing in strengthening the team to deliver football success. The Board shares the frustrations of the supporters regarding the less than anticipated activity in the recent transfer window.
Since the opening of the transfer window in June 2023, and up to the end of the winter transfer window which closed on 1st February 2024, we have committed £23.9m in player investment. Within this we renewed and extended the contracts of Cameron Carter-Vickers, Liel Abada, Matt O'Riley, Anthony Ralston and Reo Hatate. The Board's commitment is to strengthen and improve the playing squad in every transfer window and although resources were available, we were unable to further add to the squad due to the unavailability of identified targets. This was disappointing to us all, and never the intention. The January transfer window is notoriously difficult as clubs are very reluctant to let their best players go at such a crucial time of the season just as we are. Indeed, we resisted strong interest in our players from other clubs.
It is notable that transfer activity in England was the lowest it has been for over ten years, excluding the impact of Covid-19. A number of reasons have been cited for this including the absence of suitable players and new UEFA regulations which impose spending caps.
Although disappointed by the second-round exit of the League Cup away to Kilmarnock, we looked forward to our Champions League draw against Feyenoord, Atletico Madrid and Lazio. We achieved four points in the group stages and, whilst representing an improvement over last season's two points, we finished fourth in the group stage. We took consolation from a number of good performances which will serve our squad well, but our objective is to keep improving and competing in Europe. Looking towards the year ahead, winning the SPFL and the Scottish Cup is our immediate focus and priority. With 12 matches remaining in the league and having reached the quarter final of the Scottish Cup, there remains a long way to go and all to play for. We will all unite behind the team for these purposes.
We also look forward to the creation of our new Barrowfield facility which is scheduled for the end of 2024 and will bring high quality facilities for our women's and academy squads. We are also nearing the completion of a significant investment in Lennoxtown delivering new First Team and B Team changing areas and a newly
enhanced medical and sports science facility. Investment in infrastructure is a key component of success in modern football.
December 2023 saw the departure of our women's team manager, Fran Alonso, to a new opportunity in one of the top women's football leagues in the world. Fran leaves us with our best wishes after almost four years with Celtic having overseen the transition of the women's team to professional status and having won the League Cup, two back-to-back Scottish Cups and narrowly missing out on the SWPL league title last season. Fran leaves us in a strong position and was recently replaced by Elena Sadiku. We wish to welcome Elena, at what is an exciting time for the women's game at Celtic and in Scotland.
UEFA and the European Club Association are close to agreeing the final aspects of the revised European Club Competition model. This will bring an exciting new format to European football and the opportunity to participate in more matches and give access to more teams across Europe. Pending completion of these discussions, this should provide stability and certainty for several years for the European football landscape.
As is often the case with the Club's earnings profile, we naturally expect a seasonal downturn in earnings in the second half of the year. In general terms, earnings are biased towards the first half of the year aligned to the receipts from European competition, whereas the second half is characterised by significant accounting losses. This is entirely within expectations and our planning assumptions. Our outturn earnings can also be materially impacted by football success and the year-end assessment of player registration carrying values. Taking all of this into consideration, we would expect our total outturn financial performance for the year ending 30 June 2024 to be significantly lower than the result posted for the first six months of the financial year.
On behalf of the Board and everyone at Celtic Football Club, I wish to extend our gratitude and appreciation to our supporters for the backing of our Club. Thanks also must go to our shareholders and commercial partners for their continued support.

INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT TO CELTIC PLC
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 31 December 2023 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with UK adopted International Accounting Standard 34 and the London Stock Exchange AIM Rules for Companies.
We have been engaged by the company to review the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 31 December 2023 which comprises Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Balance Sheet, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Cash Flow Statement and related explanatory notes.
Basis for conclusion
We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (UK) 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" ("ISRE (UK) 2410"). A review of interim financial information consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
As disclosed in note 1, the annual financial statements of the Group are prepared in accordance with UK adopted international accounting standards. The condensed set of financial statements included in this half-yearly financial report has been prepared in accordance with UK adopted International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim Financial Reporting".
Conclusions relating to going concern
Based on our review procedures, which are less extensive than those performed in an audit as described in the Basis for conclusion section of this report, nothing has come to our attention to suggest that the Directors have inappropriately adopted the going concern basis of accounting or that the Directors have identified material uncertainties relating to going concern that are not appropriately disclosed.
This conclusion is based on the review procedures performed in accordance with ISRE (UK) 2410, however future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
Responsibilities of Directors
The Directors are responsible for preparing the half-yearly financial report in accordance with the London Stock Exchange AIM Rules for Companies which require that the half-yearly report be presented and prepared in a form consistent with that which will be adopted in the Company's annual accounts having regard to the accounting standards applicable to such annual accounts.
In preparing the half-yearly financial report, the Directors are responsible for assessing the company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the review of the financial information
In reviewing the half-yearly report, we are responsible for expressing to the Company a conclusion on the condensed set of financial statement in the half-yearly financial report. Our conclusion, including our Conclusions Relating to Going Concern, are based on procedures that are less extensive than audit procedures, as described in the Basis for Conclusion paragraph of this report.
Use of our report
Our report has been prepared in accordance with the terms of our engagement to assist the Company in meeting the requirements of the rules of the London Stock Exchange AIM Rules for Companies for no other purpose. No person is entitled to rely on this report unless such a person is a person entitled to rely upon this report by virtue of and for the purpose of our terms of engagement or has been expressly authorised to do so by our prior written consent. Save as above, we do not accept responsibility for this report to any other person or for any other purpose and we hereby expressly disclaim any and all such liability.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION
1. BASIS OF PREPARATION
The financial information in this interim report comprises the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Balance Sheet, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Cash Flow Statement and accompanying notes. The financial information in this interim report has been prepared under the recognition and measurement requirements in accordance with UK adopted international accounting standards, but does not include all of the disclosures that would be required under those accounting standards. The accounting policies adopted in the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2023 will be in accordance with UK adopted international accounting standards.
The financial information in this interim report for the six months to 31 December 2023 and to 31 December 2022 has not been audited, but it has been reviewed by the Company's auditor.
Adoption of standards effective for periods beginning 1 July 2023
The following amended standards have been adopted as of 1 July 2023
· Amendments to IAS 8, IAS 1, IAS 12, IFRS 17, IFRS 9 and IAS 12
Going concern
The Company has sufficient financial resources available to it, together with established contracts with a number of customers and suppliers. As a consequence, the Directors believe that the Company is well placed to continue managing its business risks successfully and they have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial information in this interim report.

3. EXCEPTIONAL OPERATING ITEMS AND OTHER INCOME
The exceptional operating expense of £0.05m represents settlement payments. These items are deemed to be unusual in relation to what management consider to be normal operating conditions.
Other income in the prior period represents incoming cash or receivables to the business which is not deemed to be generated from the normal course of business and does not meet the definition of revenue under IFRS15. In the current financial period this is represented by a compensation sum receivable relating to the release of contractual obligations. In the prior period this related to an amount received in respect of a Business Interruption insurance claim. The amount of income is only recognised when the likelihood and value of any receipt is virtually certain i.e. the cash or confirmation of payment have been received.

5. TAXATION
Tax has been charged at 25% for the six months ended 31 December 2023 (2022: 19%) representing the best estimate of the average annual effective tax rate expected to apply for the full year, applied to the pre-tax profit of the six month period. After accounting for deferred tax, this has resulted in tax expense in the statement of comprehensive income of £7.6m (2022: £5.8m).
6. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share has been calculated by dividing the profit for the period of £22.7m (2022: £28.1m) by the weighted average number of Ordinary Shares in issue of 94,596,518 (2022: 94,515,655). Diluted earnings per share has been calculated by dividing the profit for the period by the weighted average number of Ordinary Share, Convertible Cumulative Preference Shares and Convertible Preferred Ordinary Shares in issue, assuming conversion at the Balance Sheet date if dilutive.
