Borussia Dortmund is sticking to its consolidated net profit forecast for 2026/2027 of EUR 0 million to EUR 10 million. The decline in Q1 earnings was due primarily to the fact that net transfer income had been EUR 33.0 million higher in the same quarter of the previous year.

Borussia Dortmund generated consolidated total operating proceeds (consolidated revenue plus gross transfer proceeds generated) of EUR 141.1 million in the quarter ended (prior-year quarter: EUR 175.3 million).

Net transfer income, which comprises gross transfer proceeds less residual carrying amounts, other derecognised items and transfer costs, amounted to EUR 19.9 million (prior-year quarter: EUR 52.9 million).
