Bundesliga Club Werder Bremen Announces $17.8M In Losses For Fiscal Year '11-12

Bundesliga club SV Werder Bremen lost €13.9M ($17.8M) during the '11-12 fiscal year the club revealed Monday, according to Matiszick & Dorow of the WESER KURIER. However, the club's management is "not too worried about this number as it has enough equity to balance the losses, and it also initiated a consolidation process." During the previous fiscal year, Werder Bremen generated a profit of €8.2M. Looking at the current loss and last year's profit, "the club has lost a total of €22.1M ($28.3M) during the '11-12 fiscal year." In addition, the club "did not break the €100M-revenue mark for the first time since '06-07." Werder Bremen generated revenue of €95.6M (122.4M) in '11-12. Club GM Klaus Allofs said, "We are not comfortable in our skin and would have liked to present a different result. But this is no reason to panic" (WESER KURIER, 11/5). 

FORTUNE FOR FORTUNA: GOAL.com's Jan Schultz reported that Bundesliga club Fortuna Dusseldorf "generated a positive financial result for the first time in 16 years."
