Score Capital AG, a pan-European specialist in working capital financing for professional football clubs, reported significant year-over-year growth in revenue and earnings for the first nine months of fiscal year 2026, according to a release distributed by NEWMEDIAWIRE. The Munich-based company said revenue rose 27% to EUR 3.80 million from EUR 2.99 million in the prior-year period, while earnings before interest and taxes jumped 63% to EUR 1.67 million.
New business volume reached EUR 171 million as of September 30, 2026, an increase of approximately 74% from EUR 98 million a year earlier. That figure represents about 86% of the company’s full-year target of EUR 200 million, which Score Capital now expects to surpass.
The results underscore the growing role of specialist financiers in a football transfer market that reached record highs in the summer of 2026. Clubs in Europe’s “Big 5” leagues invested EUR 7.4 billion in player acquisitions, roughly 6% more than the prior record year, and total transfer spending by European professional clubs exceeded EUR 10 billion for the first time. That structural demand for flexible financing solutions is central to Score Capital’s business model, which focuses on acquiring receivables from player transfers, sponsoring, broadcasting and UEFA competitions.
“Demand for our financing solutions continues to grow across the international football market. By diversifying our refinancing base, we are unlocking additional business opportunities and are able to increasingly execute transactions with larger volume and longer terms,” said Stephan Schnippe, CEO of Score Capital AG.
The company said it has completed almost EUR 70 million in deal volume through a new refinancing partner, strengthening its capacity to finance larger transactions and longer maturities. That diversification matters because it allows Score Capital to serve bigger clubs and structure longer-term deals, expanding its addressable market beyond short-term liquidity needs.
Score Capital, which has completed more than 900 transactions with a volume of EUR 3.0 billion over 22 years, says it has not recorded a single bad debt loss since its founding. The company expects to exceed its EUR 200 million new business target and achieve a new annual deal volume record in 2026, with the Executive Board also anticipating further improvement in profitability by year-end.
For the broader football industry, the results highlight how clubs are increasingly turning to specialized financiers to manage cash flow around transfer windows and broadcasting payments. As transfer fees continue to climb, access to tailored working capital solutions is becoming a critical component of club financial strategy.
