Inter Milan posts second consecutive profit with 22.7m euro net result

Italian football powerhouse F.C. Internazionale Milano S.p.A. has secured its second consecutive profitable fiscal year, posting a net result of €22.7 million during a shareholders meeting held via teleconference on 12 October 2026.

The milestone financial results, detailed during proceedings attended by President and CEO Giuseppe Marotta and top management, reflect a deliberate strategy of consolidation across the organisation. While revenues dropped from the previous year's record-breaking €567 million—which had been bolstered by one-off inflows from participation in the FIFA Club World Cup and reaching the UEFA Champions League Final in 2025—the current figures still represent the second-highest revenue generation in the club's history at €518 million, according to Yahoo Finance reporting.

Several underlying financial adjustments fueled the positive outcome. Operating costs fell by approximately €20 million, marking a 4 percent reduction compared to the previous cycle. This cost-cutting discipline, paired with robust commercial and match day revenue streams, allowed the club to repair its balance sheet. Most notably, the Group's shareholders' equity swung back into positive territory, landing at €10.4 million compared to a negative position of €12 million at the close of the 2024/25 financial year.

Long-term financial stability also received a major boost from a dramatic drop in debt-servicing expenses. Financial costs plummeted by approximately 50 percent, saving the club €19 million. Management attributed this reduction to a refinancing package completed at the end of the prior year, which secured a lower cost of capital than the previous facility.

Beyond the balance sheet, leadership emphasized that financial restructuring has gained further momentum following the arrival of new owners, Oaktree. Addressing shareholders, executives highlighted a domestic Double-winning season on the pitch alongside sweeping administrative and structural changes off it. These changes include a significant investment plan aimed at infrastructure upgrades at the Inter Training Center in Appiano Gentile and the Konami Women & Talent Center in Interello.

President and CEO Giuseppe Marotta addressed the assembly regarding the club's broader trajectory.

"During a season that saw us win our third domestic Double, off the field the Club experienced a season of financial consolidation. The financial restructuring effort has gained further momentum with the arrival of the new owners, Oaktree. The financial statements submitted for your approval confirm the significant strengthening of the Club’s financial and equity position. Revenues once again exceeded €500 million, the year ended with a net profit, financial expenses are lower than in the previous financial statements and, for the first time in a long while, equity is back in the black. Our commitment to balancing sustainability with sporting competitiveness will not waver, as we are convinced we are on the right track. Soon we will be able to share with you the wonderful design work for the new stadium in Milano, for an infrastructure that will become a new urban icon, a vibrant new sports and entertainment hub that is open to all. This club-owned stadium will also serve as a strategic platform that will enable Inter to increase revenue and close the gap with Europe’s top clubs."

The full documentation is slated for release on the official club website. Furthermore, management teased forthcoming design unveilings for a new club-owned stadium in Milano.
