Chelsea Football Club have announced a record profit for the financial year ending June 30, 2014.
The Blues, who currently sit on top of the Premier League table, have released numbers of a £18.4million income plus a record turnover of £319.8m.
Chelsea released a statement on their official website outlining their off-field success which came in a trophy-less season in 2013/14.
"The £18.4 million profit follows the £1.4 million generated two years ago with strong revenue increases during the 12-month period contributing to the figures," the statement read.
"The turnover figure demonstrates that business growth continues in seasons without trophy success as well as in years when silverware is won. The new FAPL broadcasting deal contributed significantly as did commercial income.
"There was a small rise in matchday income but with Stamford Bridge filled to capacity year after year there was no scope for significant financial growth in this area.
"The latest financial results combined with those from the previous two years mean that for the second monitoring period for FFP we will fall comfortably within the limits set by UEFA."
