Juventus: net debt rises to 66 million in the 25/26 financial year; 250 million capital increase approved by Exor
Agnelli-Elkann holding company makes an immediate payment of 60 million
(Il Sole 24 Ore Radiocor) - Juventus has approved the consolidated financial statements for the financial year ended 30 June 2026, which show a loss of 66.0 million, in line with forecasts, and an increase compared with the previous financial year (a loss of 58.1 million). The board of directors has therefore updated its forecasts for the next three-year period, which predict – ‘primarily due to the club’s failure to qualify for the UEFA Champions League this season’ – a further loss for the 2026/2027 financial year and ‘a gradual improvement in the following two financial years’. A proposal will therefore be put to the shareholders to grant the Board of Directors authorisation to increase the share capital, against payment, in one or more tranches, up to a maximum total of 250 million (including share premium). This is intended to “support the strengthening of the capital structure and sporting competitiveness, potential upgrades to strategic property assets (primarily the Allianz Stadium), brand enhancement and economic and financial sustainability”.
The majority shareholder, Exor, ‘as further confirmation of its long-term commitment to Juventus and its confidence in the club’s intrinsic value’, has expressed its support for the capital strengthening operation and has confirmed that it will immediately make a payment of 60 million towards a future capital increase. The exercise of this authorisation, in whole or in part, is expected to take place by the end of 2026, “provided that favourable market conditions prevail, for the implementation of a capital increase to be offered on a rights basis to shareholders”. The Juventus shareholders’ meeting will be held on 3 November at the Allianz Stadium.
