<p>The broadcaster made £1.4bn in the year to the end of June, and saw its strongest growth in customer numbers for 11 years.</p>
<p>The group hailed an “outstanding” performance in the UK and Ireland, where it now has more than 12 million customers.</p>
<p>Sky, which serves more than 20 million customers group-wide following the acquisition of businesses in Italy and Germany, posted operating profits of £1.4bn for the year to June 30 on revenues up 5% to £11.3bn.</p>
<p>As well as seeing it best UK and Ireland customer growth for more than a decade, Sky said it saw the group’s highest ever increase in customers across Germany and Austria.</p>
<p>The group added 506,000 customers in the UK and Ireland after attracting another 124,000 in the final quarter alone, which is a 65% rise year-on-year.</p>
<p>Chief executive Jeremy Darroch said the revenue growth as well as a “relentless focus on costs” helped drive the annual profits hike.</p>
<p>He added the group was off to a “strong start” following its deal last November to buy Sky Italia and a majority interest in Sky Deutschland, which saw it change its name from BSkyB to Sky.</p>
<p>Mr Darroch said: “The past 12 months have been an outstanding period of growth for Sky.</p>
<p>“We’ve successfully completed a deal that has transformed the size and scale of opportunity for the business whilst delivering an excellent financial and operational performance.”</p>
