Revenues (amortization of assets – primarily player transfers).
In continuation we will present the financial statement of Real Madrid FC SAD including the evolution in the results of the campaign 2008/09.
The revenues for the season 2008/09 grew 11% year over year and reached 407 million euros €.
Thereby the objective of revenues of + 400 million euros was reached.
This income stems from the 3 principal revenue streams of the club: stadium , television , and marketing.
Income from player transfers is not included in these numbers but are included in another part of the statement and can be found under the account dealing with the return on investment of capital investments.
The revenue streams which have contributed the most to the overall increase in revenue for the season 2008/09 have been television and marketing. On the other hand the revenues from the stadium after 2 years of strong growth have remained flat year over year for the season 2008/09.
The contribution by the members (socios) both when it comes to membership fees as well as season ticket subscriptions represent 10% of the total revenues.
Over a 10 year period 1999-2009 the revenues have grown by an average of 26% year over year.
When it comes to the future development the main weapons which the club posses in order to remain competitive and to maintain its’ position among the world’s leading clubs continue to be: The strengthening of the brand through investments in great players and the exploitation of these players’ images through the 3 revenues streams and the continued expansion internationally.
