2024 numbers show modest profit — and a looming one‑off cost
Red Bull’s 2024 accounts show former team boss Christian Horner received a pay rise before his departure, with the sizeable payoff package — reported at around £80 million — to be reflected in the 2025 financials. Despite the leadership turbulence, the team posted another modest profit for 2024.
The figures underline two contrasting realities: continued commercial and competitive strength on track, and a significant one‑time expense ahead that will weigh on next year’s bottom line.
What it means
- Profit in 2024 confirms robust operations.
- The Horner settlement will be accounted for in 2025, impacting headline results.
- Operational focus remains on sustaining performance amid leadership transition.
All eyes now turn to how the 2025 accounts absorb the exit cost — and whether Red Bull can maintain the on‑track form that keeps the financial engine humming.
