Benfica SAD returns to positive financial results

Benfica SAD reported positive results of €34.4 million in the 2024/25 financial year. This represents a return to profit.

Operating income reached 230 million euros, up 54 million.

Equity also rose to 116 million euros, the highest value in the last four years.

In turn, net debt fell by five million euros (196.9 million euros) and liabilities fell by 2%.
