TURIN: Juventus have again recorded a substantial decrease in its year-on-year financial losses as its revenues for the year ending June 30, 2013 were boosted by its run to the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League.

The Serie A champion’s 2012-13 financial year closed with a loss of E15.9m compared to the figure of E48.6m from the previous year. Juventus had lost E95.4m in the 2010-11 year. The Turin giant said that its improved financial position was primarily due to its participation in the Champions League.

Juventus earned E65.3m from Champions League media payments last season, more than finalists Bayern Munchen and Borussia Dortmund along with any other European club. This saw revenues jump by E70m to E283.8m for the financial year.

The club also benefited from the first year of its new shirt sponsorship deal with Jeep. Signed in April 2012, Jeep replaced Betclic as the Serie A giant’s lead sponsor under a three-year deal worth a fixed sum of Eur35 million.

However, Juventus said the net debt increased by E32.6m to E160.3m over the year – with the club citing its activity in the transfer market as the main cause of this development. Looking ahead to 2013-14, Juventus said it expected to continue its improvement but still register a loss for the current season.
