Brentford finances

What the filed accounts show, season by season from 2005/06 to 2024/25: 11 of 20 seasons have a filing in the database; in 9 the club was below the Championship. Figures as filed, not adjusted: on the nearest group that holds the club alone, or on the club company where no such group files; the table names which for each season.

Profit or loss before tax, £m, for the 11 of 20 seasons with a filing in the database; the latest in orange. A ring marks a season with a filing but no profit figure (1; the table gives the reason). A dot marks a season with no filing in the database.

Losses in brackets. Profit before tax is as filed. Owner-related gains are the gains from the owner or its companies that the accounts count inside that profit (the hidden-losses record); they are not taken out of it here, and they are read for Premier League seasons only ("–" in a Championship season). Where no figure is shown, the reason is given: "not printed", neither reading found the figure on the pages read; "read once only", only one reading found it; "readings differ", the two readings disagree; "not read", no reading of the filing holds it.

"Accounts of": the nearest group that holds the club alone, or the club company where no such group files or the group's filing does not hold the club for that season. A season whose accounts cover other than 12 months shows its length beside it, from the year ends the database holds for that company.

Read twice from each filing, as agreed by both readings: Premier League seasons from 2020/21 from the balance-sheet record; Premier League seasons 2005/06 to 2017/18 and every Championship season from the records built on the Championship's method. Each record keeps its own lender types.

Owner: the club's ultimate controlling party, its parent or companies in its group, or a person or company acting for it, as the related-party note shows.
Other shareholders: a shareholder who lends to the club but does not control it.
Banks: bank loans and overdrafts.
Other outside lenders: other debt to lenders outside the club: funding secured on central payments, factoring, finance leases, preference shares treated as debt, and lenders the accounts do not name. Marked "(bonds included)" in the records that count bonds and loan notes here too.
Owner or outside, disputed: one reading places the lender with the owner and the other outside it.
Lender type not stated: neither reading of the accounts gives the lender's type.
Going concern relies on owner: "Yes", the directors say the club can carry on because its owner will support it; "Conditional", that support is promised only if something goes wrong, or as a promise not to call existing loans; "No", the directors do not rely on it; "Not agreed", the two readings differ.
