Significant events

• “As of 30 June 2025, our cash balance stood at £4.2m an increase of £1.7m compared to the previous year.”
• “The 2024/25 season marked the first year under the new Professional Game Partnership agreement with the RFU. This new deal provides guaranteed funding for all Premiership clubs, enhanced financial rewards for England players, and a more collaborative relationship between club and country in managing and developing talent.”
• “Merchandise sales reached record levels during the 2024/25 season, with revenue increasing by more than 15% compared to the previous year. Total retail income for the period was the highest in the Club's history.”
• “We were proud to have been selected as a host venue for the 2025 Women's Rugby World Cup, and after more than a year of preparations the tournament was a resounding success.”
• “On the pitch, the 2024/25 season was one of dramatic highs and testing lows for Saints. Our European campaign was historic, as we reached the Final of the Champions Cup for the first time since 2011 - and only the third time in our history.”
• “On 22 September 2025, an application to re-profile the repayment schedule against the Club's loan from The Department for Culture, Media and Sport was accepted. The effect of this reprofiling is to reduce repayments over the next seven years. The re-profile takes effect (retrospectively) from 1 April 2025, and includes a modest increase in the prevailing interest rate, from 2.0% to 3.5%, until such a point that total repayments are in-line with the original payment schedule. The overall term of the loan is unchanged.”

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
