DORTMUND, Germany - Borussia Dortmund GmbH & Co. KGaA released its preliminary financial results for the third quarter of the 2024/2025 fiscal year, indicating a mixed performance with increased revenues but lower net profits compared to the previous year.
The German football club’s consolidated net profit after taxes for the first three quarters, spanning from July 1, 2024, to March 31, 2025, was EUR 12.9 million, a significant decrease from EUR 48.9 million reported in the same period of the prior year. Earnings before taxes (EBT) similarly fell to EUR 14.5 million from EUR 52.2 million, while earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) dropped to EUR 88.3 million from EUR 119.8 million in the previous year.
This decline in profitability was primarily attributed to a EUR 53.6 million reduction in net transfer income. However, consolidated revenue saw an uptick of EUR 38.6 million, or 10.9%, reaching EUR 393.3 million, buoyed by increases across match operations, advertising income, TV marketing, merchandising, and other income streams.
For the third quarter alone, Borussia Dortmund reported a consolidated net profit after taxes of EUR 5.2 million, a recovery from a net loss of EUR 21.7 million in the corresponding quarter of the previous year. The club’s EBT for the quarter was EUR 5.7 million, and EBITDA stood at EUR 29.6 million, marking substantial improvements from the prior year’s losses.
Revenue for the third quarter surged by 51.5% to EUR 148.8 million, with significant contributions from match operations and TV marketing. Total (EPA:TTEF) operating proceeds, including revenue and gross transfer proceeds, reached EUR 172.0 million, compared to EUR 106.0 million in the same quarter of the prior year.
Despite these gains, cumulative personnel expenses increased to EUR 199.1 million, and other operating expenses rose to EUR 123.7 million. The financial result for the first three quarters was a slight loss of EUR 0.3 million, and the net tax expense was EUR 1.6 million.
These preliminary figures are based on International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and provide a snapshot of Borussia Dortmund’s financial health as the club prepares to release its full Q3 2024/2025 financial report on May 15, 2025.
