Accumulated profits at the management company owned by former Ireland rugby captain, Johnny Sexton, totalled €2.25m ahead of his retirement from the professional game last year.
New accounts filed by Sexton's JAS Management & Promotions Ltd show that the firm recorded a post tax loss of €83,240 in the 12 months to the end of September last.
The firm recorded the loss after pay to directors increased by 157% from €100,493 to €258,997.
In the prior year, Sexton ploughed €552,509 into the company's directors’ pension pot as he prepared for life away from the game and in 2023 a further €62,337 was paid in directors’ pension contributions.
Cash funds at the company last year decreased by €145,561 from €1.446m to €1.3m, while during the same period the value of the company’s financial assets increased by €152,313 from €729,513 to €881,826.
Sexton - who turned 39 last month - is set to add to his company’s coffers with sales from one of the most anticipated sports books of the year with the publication of his autobiography, Obsessed: The Autobiography by Johnny Sexton this October.
Last October, Sexton retired from the game after Ireland exited the rugby World Cup in France after losing to the All-Blacks.
However, ahead of his retirement, Sexton was busy in recent years laying out the groundwork for the sometimes tricky transition from professional sportsman to a life in the corporate world.
Since April 2021, Sexton performed a part time role as commercial manager at Ardagh, Paul Coulson’s glass-bottle and tin-can maker.
Sexton’s LinkedIn profile confirms that his job title is now Chief of Staff at Ardagh Glass and has been in the full time role since January of this year.
Away from Ardagh, Sexton continues to be a Lexus ambassador and his commercial deals are being guided by Conor Ridge’s Horizon Sports where the firm’s other high profile clients include Open winner, Shane Lowry and rugby player, Peter O’Mahony.
Sexton, a former World Rugby Player of the Year was appointed Ireland captain by Andy Farrell in January 2020.
Sexton is one of Irish Rugby’s most decorated players and led Ireland to a Grand Slam in 2023 and won four European Rugby Champions Cups with Leinster.
Sexton set up his firm in 2010 to handle earnings from commercial ventures such as sponsorships and image rights.
