Borussia Mönchengladbach: damage to the millions due to the drop in transfer!
Borussia Mönchengladbach posted a loss of 2.4 million euros in the 2024 financial year. Finance managing director Stefan Stegemann announced this at the recently held annual general meeting. The loss is a clear departure from the results of the previous year, when the club had made a profit of over 4 million euros, the first positive result since 2019. The decline in finances is largely due to falling transfer income, which were still around 38 million euros in 2023 and were generated by the sale of players such as Jonas Hofmann, Jordan Beyer and Yann Sommer.
In the annual report for 2024, the association reported a decline in sales of around 15 million euros to just under 185 million euros. This year, the transfer revenue could only be generated by the club by the club's transfer by Manu Koné's transfer. The pandemic has had a serious financial impact on Borussia Mönchengladbach, with an estimated loss of around 100 million euros during this time, according to Stegemann.
financial key figures and equity
In addition to the losses, the association recorded a decline in equity by around 2.5 million euros, which resulted in an equity ratio of 25.2 percent on December 31, 2024, compared to 26.2 percent in 2023. Currently, equity is around 48.9 million euros. The figures illustrate the financial difficulties of the association, which can not only rely on income from player transfer, but also improve his income from play, advertising, merchandising and catering services.Another important aspect of the financial situation was reinforced by the figures published by the DFL to the Bundesliga clubs. The German Football League has published extensive financial indicators since 2019 to create additional transparency. These regulations concern all clubs in the Bundesliga and the 2nd Bundesliga and are part of the licensing regulations, which was passed in December 2018. dfl reports on this measure in line with the UEFA regulations on the club licensing and the financial fair play.
outlook and honor for Stephan Schippers
Stegemann made it clear that Borussia Mönchengladbach endeavors to stabilize his financial foundations, even if the development in the transfer area remains challenging. The appointment of Stephan Schippers, the former finance manager, as an honorary member of the association, also underlines the recognition of his merits. Schippers was a formative member of the club's financial management and will continue to play an important role in the community of the association in the future.
Overall, it should be noted that Borussia Mönchengladbach is faced with the task of improving his economic situation and managing the losses of recent years. The main focus will be on the generation of new sources of income. Financial stability will be a central challenge on the way to the future.
