David Beckham's income from personal sponsorship deals dipped by 10 percent in the year he became England's most capped outfield player.
Newly released figures show that the Los Angeles Galaxy player received 9.03 million pounds ($14.6 million) in 2009 from his company Footwork Productions, which handles the revenue from endorsements from companies including Adidas.
In 2008, Beckham received 9.97 million pounds, according to accounts filed with Companies House, the official British company registry.
Turnover also dropped to 11.4 million pounds in 2009 from 12.1 million pounds.
"The directors are satisfied with the results," the directors' report said.
A separate company, Brand Beckham, receives a share of the merchandising revenue he generates for the Galaxy as well as joint endorsements with his wife, Victoria, including their range of fragrances.
A third revenue stream in 2009 was his salary from the Galaxy and AC Milan, where he played at the start of the year during the Major League Soccer offseason.
The 35-year-old Beckham's challenge now is maintaining his status as the world's best-known footballers as his on-pitch career winds down.
England coach Fabio Capello has signaled the end of Beckham's international career on 115 caps. The former captain broke the record for the number of England appearances by an outfield player in March 2009 but his hopes of going to a fourth World Cup in June were ended by an Achilles' tendon injury.
Beckham also won't be embarking on another high-profile loan spell at AC Milan, after choosing to focus on staying in shape to play for the Galaxy.
Beckham, who joined the Galaxy from Real Madrid in 2007 on a five-year contract, scored his first goal in more than a year in a 2-1 victory over Chivas USA last week.
"It was an unbelievable free kick, the man can still play," Tim Leiweke, chief executive of AEG, which owns the Galaxy, said this week in London. "Did his move work for the MLS? Of course it did, people are discussing the MLS now ...
"He is the most fierce competitor I have ever seen. He loves proving people wrong. He has been nothing but a positive influence on our team since day one."
