After winning their first treble last season, Manchester City reported on Wednesday that the success was matched off the pitch with record profits, their highest ever revenue and recognition as the most valuable football brand in the world.

The club, which has been majority owned by Sheikh Mansour since August of 2008, earned revenues of 712.8 million ($889.4m) to June 2023 according to Manchester City FC Ltd.'s annual report, an increase of 99.8m (16.3%) over the previous season, along with a record net profit of 80.4m.

"The 2022-23 season saw Manchester City scale new heights and set new benchmarks," City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak, said in a statement.

"In short, last season saw Manchester City achieve the greatest football and commercial year of its storied history."

City experienced growth over the previous year across all revenue streams of commercial, matchday and broadcasting.

Commercial revenues accounted for 341.4m, followed by broadcast at 299.4m and then matchday at 71.9m, for a profit of 80.4m, nearly doubling the previous year's record profit of 41.7m.

Matchday revenue saw an increase of 17.4m (32%) with a 99% occupancy rate at the Etihad Stadium and four more home games played across all competitions, although the average attendance of 53,249 fans over 19 Premier League games was just shy of their record of 54,130 set in 2018-19.

Broadcasting revenues climbed by 50.4m over the previous year (20.2%), primarily due to the club reaching and winning the Champions League and FA Cup finals.

Profits also benefited from significant player trading with 121.7m generated from transfers, up a significant 79.8% over the previous 12 months.

City earned top spot on the Brand Finance Football 50 list with a brand value of 1.51 billion, passing LaLiga side Real Madrid (1.46bn). Manchester United were fourth at 1.36bn.

It marked the first time an English club had earned the number one spot since 2018 with the report citing City's decade of dominance on the pitch and the highest revenue of any of the clubs in the report as key reasons for their rise in the rankings.

City also topped the Deloitte Football Money League for the second consecutive year with the biggest revenues of any European football club, ahead of runners-up Madrid.

In early 2023, City were charged by the Premier League with more than 100 breaches of rules that required the club to provide "more financial information that gives a true and fair view of the club's financial position," the league said in a Feb. 6 statement.

Wednesday's financial report addressed the charges, saying: "In February 2023, in response to the charges, the Club issued a public statement that it welcomes the review of this matter by an independent Commission, to impartially consider the comprehensive body of irrefutable evidence that exists in support of its position."

On the pitch, manager Pep Guardiola guided City to a third successive Premier League title, an enthralling 2-1 FA Cup final victory over rivals Manchester United, and a first-ever Champions League title.

The women's team finished fourth in the Women's Super League (WSL), but saw average attendance climb to 3,555, up 84% over the 2021-22 season.
