Heart of Midlothian recorded a £2.4m loss for the year ending 30 June, despite a turnover exceeding £23m during Tony Bloom's first 12 months as owner.

Like-for-like revenue rose 20%, with sponsorship and advertising income up 37% and retail and hospitality income increasing 17%.
The Foundation of Hearts contributed £1.49m. Player trading gains were 30% higher than the previous year, with further gains expected in 2026/27. Hearts reported net assets of £20.3m and confirmed engagement in positive discussions regarding further investment to support long-term ambitions.
