Barcelona report post-tax losses for second year
"However, after revenue increased to €994m, ($1.16 billion) up €100m ($116m) on the previous year, Barça said the results continue the "consolidation of the club's economic recovery" following years of financial struggles. The main factors for the rise in turnover are attributed to a new agreement with Nike, a boost in merchandising sales, improved results on the pitch and higher attendances at the Olympic Stadium."
"Financial results have been up and down since Joan Laporta was elected as president in 2020. At the end of his first campaign in charge, 20-21, Barça posted losses of €481m ($560m), largely due to the Covid pandemic, but also because of the board's decision to write off or devalue certain assets. Barça then posted profits of €98m ($114m) and €304m ($354m) in the following two seasons, although those gains primarily came after the sale of a percentage of future earnings from domestic television rights."
Barcelona reported a €17m post-tax loss for the 2024–25 season, marking a second consecutive yearly deficit and bringing the two-season shortfall to €108m. Revenue rose to €994m, up €100m year-on-year, driven by a new Nike agreement, stronger merchandising sales, better on-field results and higher attendances at the Olympic Stadium. The club expects revenue to exceed €1bn next season with the imminent return to Spotify Camp Nou, which is valued at around €50m, and forecasts that post-tax losses will convert to profits. Financial results have fluctuated since Joan Laporta became president in 2020, including a €481m loss in 2020–21 and subsequent profits aided by TV-rights sales.
