Borussia Dortmund reports record revenue amid profit decline

DORTMUND - German football club Borussia Dortmund achieved its highest-ever consolidated revenue in the 2024/2025 financial year, reaching €526.0 million, a 3.3% increase from the previous year, according to a press release issued today.

The club reported that increased income from TV marketing, advertising, and match operations contributed to the record revenue. TV marketing generated €227.2 million, up from €206.0 million in the previous year, while advertising income rose to €153.6 million from €146.6 million.

Despite the record revenue, Borussia Dortmund’s consolidated net income fell significantly to €6.5 million from €44.3 million in the previous financial year. The decline was primarily attributed to lower transfer income, with net transfer proceeds dropping to €37.8 million from €97.9 million.

The club’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) decreased to €115.9 million from €150.3 million in the prior year.

Total operating proceeds, which include revenue plus gross transfer proceeds, declined to €589.6 million from €639.0 million previously.

Income from match operations increased slightly to €55.2 million, while merchandising revenue decreased to €40.0 million from €47.9 million. Conference, catering, and miscellaneous income also fell to €50.0 million from €56.0 million.

The company’s management intends to recommend a dividend of €0.06 per share for the 2024/2025 financial year, with the final decision to be made at the Annual General Meeting following the Supervisory Board meeting scheduled for September 25, 2025.

Borussia Dortmund is listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange’s regulated market and is included in the SDAX index.
