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

Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis

- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- MMG Archbold Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “The Club was relegated from the Scottish Premiership after sixteen consecutive seasons in the top division.”
- “Ownership of the Club transferred to a new investor group, and a new Board of Directors was established.”
- “A change in first-team management took place during the season, with a new head coach Simo Valakari appointed in October 2024.”
- “The Club achieved a profit for the financial year.”
- “A major overhaul of the playing squad took place. In total, 23 first-team players departed... 15 new players have since been signed.”
- “The club invested in a new astro-turf pitch at McDiarmid Park, a key milestone in improving training infrastructure.”
- “Subsequent to the year-end, the company applied for and was successful in securing a material donation of £150,000 from St Johnstone F.C. Facilities Association for a new all weather pitch.”
