Everton are 16th in the table, three points above the relegation zone.
In a statement Everton pointed to the "indefinite suspension of key commercial partnerships" as a factor in the accounts.
In 2022, Everton halted their major sponsorship with companies belonging to Alisher Usmanov, the Russian metals tycoon who has been sanctioned by the European Union. The move came in the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
The latest losses came despite Everton's accounts showing they made 47.5M ($60M) profit on player transfers.
Net debt increased to 330.6M ($417M) because of "significant investment" in a new stadium, Everton said.
Turnover was 172.2M ($217.5M).
The league's rules allow clubs to lose a maximum of 105M ($133M) over a three-year period or face sanctions.
