The reasons for Real Madrid's financial strength: the club closes the fiscal year with a profit of 24 million euros.

Real Madrid announced this Thursday that it will close the 2024/25 financial year with a profit after tax of 24 million euros , "an amount 9 million euros (56%) higher than the previous year," with the aim of "being able to resume concerts" at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium with permitted acoustics.

"This positive result continues the path on which the club has consistently closed in profit every year since 2000 ," according to its press release, and "with special mention" of the period from the 2019/20 to 2023/24 campaigns, affected by Covid-19 "and, in the specific case of the club, by the stadium remodeling works that have been carried out throughout those years."

"All of this has been achieved through cost-containment measures and business improvements across the board ," the Real Madrid report stated. "As a result of the profits obtained, the club has increased its net worth year after year, reaching a value of €598 million by June 30, 2025," the report added.

"The debt-to-equity ratio as of June 30, 2025, excluding the stadium renovation project, is 0.0, representing a situation of maximum solvency and financial autonomy," the same statement noted. "The cash balance as of June 30, 2025, excluding the cash from the loan for the stadium renovation project, is €166 million, compared to €82 million as of June 30, 2024 ," Real Madrid clarified in a statement.

"In addition to the €166 million cash balance, the club has €425 million in undrawn credit facilities as of June 30, 2025. These financial resources allow it to comfortably meet its expected payment commitments," the same report emphasized.

Real Madrid also noted that its net debt, excluding the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium renovation project, "has reached a value of €12 million as of June 30, 2025 , a similar value to that existing as of June 30, 2024 (€8 million)."

The first team was a semi-finalist in that men's World Cup. "Given that the tournament begins in the 2024/25 financial year and ends in 2025/26, the club's income and expenses for the first part of the tournament have been recorded in the 2024/25 financial year, while the income and expenses for the second part of the tournament will be recorded in the 2025/26 financial year ," Real Madrid clarified in its press release.

"Operating income (before disposals of fixed assets) for the 2024/25 financial year reached €1.185 billion, representing an increase of €111 million (10.4%) compared to the 2023/24 financial year, in which the club had exceeded the €1 billion operating income mark before disposals of fixed assets for the first time, a figure not reached to date by any other football club," the Real Madrid report highlighted.

"In the 2025/26 financial year, the final steps required to complete the stadium renovation will be carried out, including some restoration work and noise reduction at concerts ," the report commented on the latest controversies.

"While concerts can resume under approved conditions, the club anticipates further growth in revenue from VIP seating, the RM Experience, and other stadium marketing activities, highlighting the significant event that hosting an NFL game at the stadium will represent," the statement predicted.

"In the sporting arena, the club aims to continue strengthening and developing its sports model, aiming to continue achieving the sporting successes in football and basketball that have distinguished the club throughout its history and, most significantly, in recent years. In this regard, the club has already strengthened its roster with the addition of new players and a new coaching staff," he said, referring to Xabi Alonso and Sergio Scariolo.
