After a couple of requests, I’ve prepared some of the new financial fact sheets for a few Dutch clubs. This thread includes overviews for #Ajax #PSV #Feyenoord and #AZ
#Ajax profit before tax shot up from €3m to €69m in 2019, largely due to revenue more than doubling to a record €199m (thanks to Champions League run) and profit on player sales rising from €39m to €73m. Wages also rose to €92m, but wages to turnover 46%. No financial debt.
#PSV revenue rose 56% in 2019 to €97m, mainly due to return to Champions League. As a rule, club posts operating losses (€13m in 2019), offset by strong player sales. Wages up to €45m, but wages to turnover 46%. Highest debt in Netherlands with €34m plus €41m transfer debt.
#Feyenoord revenue fell 29% in 2019 to €71m, as did not qualify for Champions League. Wages unchanged at €35m, leading to €15m operating loss (2nd worst in Netherlands) and €8m pre-tax loss (first since 2011). Debt up to €7m – quite low, but 3rd highest in Eredivisie.
#AZ had 2nd highest pre-tax profit in Netherlands of €11m, but only due to €24m profit on player sales, as operating loss widened to €13m. Revenue flat at €25m (higher in 2016 and 2017, due to Europa League). High wages to turnover 73% and 2nd highest Dutch debt of €13m.
