(Serie A) SS Lazio 1Q and 9 month results: break-even!

Diego Tari,

I've published a specific analysis on the matter, but it's only in Italian.
However numbers are international !!!

You find it here: http://tifosobilanciato.it/2012/03/21/i-nuovi-criteri-di-ripartizione-dei-diritti-tv-in-serie-a/

At pages 4-6 you can find the detail on how the resources are distributed, both with numbers and graphs.
Page 10 makes a simulation on how the 2012/2013 amount increase would have affected the current Serie A structure.

Have a good day.

Colin Robinson,

Thanks for the information, Diego. Some very interesting points.

It seems that Lotita is willing to sacrifice his own popularity and instill realism about Lazio's capabilities to ensure the club is run in a sustainable way, which is both bold and commendable. It seems the club's use of a salary cap and an ability to play the transfer market cannily are two of the main reasons for its financial strength.

The collective TV rights deal is also interesting. How has this been received among the top clubs?

Diego Tari,

Very shortly

1Q 2012 9 months
Revenues 21,7 62,0
Salaries -12,5 -40,8
Other Costs -4,8 -15,6
EBITDA 4,4 5,6
Amort/Dev -5,7 -16,6
Players market 0,8 10,1
Financial rev/costs -0,8 -2,7
Pre tax -1,3 -3,6
Tax -0,4 3,8
Net result -1,7 0,2

Lazio has been in break even in the last years, although always for just a "few" million Euro:

07/086,3
08/091,3
09/100,3
10/110,7

So it's not a particular situation.

There was also a good post (as always) from the Swiss Ramble:

Colin Robinson,

Hi Diego, would it be possible to get a breakdown of those figures in English? It's very interesting to see that Lazio has managed to break even while still competing quite impressively in Serie A. How has the club managed to achieve this?
