Although in transition after high-profile player departures, Borussia Dortmund (BVB) continues to compete well on all fronts. Its financial performance is similarly spirited with a near doubling in H1 pre-transfer EBITDA, driven by the Champions League. However, costs remain an issue, so we are maintaining our full-year pre-transfer EBITDA forecast despite better than expected progress in Europe. Apart from a new deal on Bundesliga media rights, FY18 should benefit from a significantly lower player cost base, hence our €8m EBITDA upgrade and forecast bumper cash generation (over €100m net cash at June 2018), which provides ample scope for profitable investment and returns to shareholders.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.
