Borussia Dortmund's Financial Performance and Future Expectations

Borussia Dortmund GmbH & Co. KGaA released its preliminary figures for FY24/25, showing a 3.3% increase in sales to €526 million. This growth was driven mainly by TV marketing sales, which rose by 10.3% due to the FIFA Club World Cup. Despite increased sales, the company's EBITDA saw a decline of 22.9% to €116 million, attributed to reduced transfer income, notably after the sale of Jude Bellingham in the previous year.

While Borussia Dortmund saw free cash flow improve to €21.5 million, future expectations for FY25/26 are mixed. Sales are expected to decline slightly by 3.3% to €509 million, partially due to the previous recording of CWC prize money. However, EBITDA is projected to increase by 17% to €136 million, driven by anticipated player transfers.
