Update: Still much to play for

Despite a stalled Bundesliga recovery and coach Klopp’s end-of-season departure, Borussia Dortmund is well-placed to end FY15 on a strong note with potential Europa League qualification and Cup success. Maintained pre-transfer EBITDA in its most profitable quarter to December suggests another good year despite on-field setbacks. Although FY16 will reflect the absence from the Champions League, continuing growth opportunities in sponsorship, digital media, broadcasting and merchandising as well as robust finances confirm management’s creation of a sustainable business, as evident in our new forecasts with or without UEFA competition.
