- Going concern

“The directors have prepared forecasts which estimate that the club has sufficient cash to continue as a going concern and pay its liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable future, being a period of at least one year from the date of approval of the accounts. The forecasts include additional funding to be provided by SE7 Partners, who have confirmed that, if necessary, they will provide additional funding above that envisaged in the base projections. SE7 Partners have provided the club with a letter of financial support for a period of not less than 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The 2024/25 season was transformational for Charlton Athletic, culminating in a dramatic and successful return to the Championship after a five-year absence.”
- “Following the cyber-attack in August 2024, significant investment has been made in IT security infrastructure and protocols.”
- “Total capital expenditure of approximately £3 million was committed during and immediately following the season, comprising: Pitch Installation: A new hybrid playing surface was installed in summer 2024... LED Floodlighting... Office and Retail Refurbishment... FanZone Expansion... Stadium Maintenance...”
- “The club extended its leases at Sparrows Lane and The Valley to June 2040, giving a further six seasons tenure to the previous leasing arrangement.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
