Borussia Dortmund GmbH & Co. KGaA revised consolidated earnings guidance for the financial year 2021-2022. For the year, the company expects consolidated net loss to be in the range of EUR 25.0 million to EUR 29.0 million against previous guidance range of EUR 17.0 million to EUR 24.0 million.

The forecast deterioration of the earnings situation for the 2021-2022 financial year is due mainly to the premature departure of the former head coach and his coaching staff. On June 2, 2022, the parties reached an agreement in principle on the financial terms of the early termination of the employment contracts which were originally due to expire on 30 June 2024. In particular, this resulted in a one-off write-down in the mid-seven-digit range for the 2021-2022 financial year, which will nevertheless be fully offset by a corresponding decrease in write-downs over the two subsequent financial years.

This new guidance is subject to any adjusting events that may occur in the period until the financial statements are finalised and information that eventually may arise after the reporting period during the audit of the consolidated financial statements for the 2021-2022 financial year.
