Borussia Dortmund - Fine margins
Borussia Dortmund (BVB) enters the international break with mixed results. A decent season start, notably Supercup triumph vs Bayern and top of its strong Champions League group, could have been so much better but for difficulty closing out games, epitomised by four recent draws despite winning positions. This may cost Dortmund in a more competitive Bundesliga than of late (leading eight teams separated by just four points). We are nonetheless raising our current-year EBITDA forecast from €110m to €128m both to reflect change of accounting policy (€10.7m boost in FY18) and sustained buoyancy (€21m post-transfer revenue upgrade). Progress is subject as ever to surprise from Dortmund’s ability to generate substantial hidden reserves from transfers (we make no allowance for possible Sancho sale).Borussia Dortmund has two reportable segments, which are responsible for the main activites of the overall Group. The first segment consists of Borussia Dortmund GmbH & Co. KGaA, which operates a professional football club including professional football squad and leverages the associated revenue potential arising from the the transfer of players, catering, TV marketing, sponsorship and ticketing. The second segment consists of the separate merchandising business, which is carried out by BVB Merchandising GmbH. In addition, Co. assumes all the marketing activities for the stadium, including the event areas, on non-match days and includes activities such as stadium tours.
