QuickView: Meeting its goals

Ahead of Q1 results on 13 November, a positive annual report and continued on-field success reinforce confidence in our current-year forecasts and a possible step change in returns in FY17, assuming Champions League qualification. Forecasts for next year suggest a neardoubling in pre-transfer EBITDA (our key metric) and strong cash generation for player investment (we estimate €74m net cash at June 2017). An EV/EBITDA (pre-transfer) of 5x FY17e seems to ignore the longterm potential of powerful brand development and valuable media rights.
