Inter Post Second Straight Profit as Oaktree's Refinancing Pays Off

Club Finance Accounts Serie A 13 Oct 2026
Inter's shareholders have signed off a second consecutive profit. Revenue fell by almost €50 million, but cheaper debt and tighter costs kept the club in the black and pulled its equity out of negative territory.

F.C. Internazionale Milano's shareholders approved the accounts for the year to 30 June 2026 at an online meeting on Monday, as Goal reported. The board had already approved the draft in September, and the club's official statement set out the headline numbers: €518 million in revenue and a net profit of €22.7 million.

That revenue is the second-highest in the club's history. It sits below the €567 million record of 2024/25, which was inflated by the FIFA Club World Cup and a run to the Champions League final.

€518m Revenue in 2025/26, down from a record €567m
€22.7m Net profit, the club's second in a row
-€19m Cut in finance costs, roughly half the prior year
€10.4m Group equity, up from minus €12m a year earlier

A weaker year on the pitch, a stronger one on paper

Europe was a disappointment. Inter went out of the Champions League in the play-off round against Bodø/Glimt, and Money.it notes that European income came in below forecast. Revenue held up anyway, supported by higher commercial and matchday income.

The cost side did the rest. Production costs fell by about €20 million, or 4%. The club also booked €11 million more from player trading, while amortisation and write-downs on player registrations dropped by €8 million.

Why the finance line matters Inter completed a refinancing at the end of 2025 at a lower cost of capital. Finance costs fell by around €19 million as a result. Set against a €22.7 million profit, that single saving accounts for most of the result.

The Oaktree effect

Inter has been owned by Oaktree Capital Management since May 2024. The fund never bid for the club. It lent €275 million to former owner Suning in 2021, and took control when that loan defaulted.

Since then the priority has been the balance sheet. Inter posted a €35 million profit in 2024/25, its first in years, according to Calcio e Finanza. The latest accounts take equity from minus €12 million to plus €10.4 million, a swing of more than €22 million in a single season. President Giuseppe Marotta told shareholders that Oaktree's arrival had sped up that work.

Next up: the stadium

Marotta also used the meeting to trail the design of Milan's new stadium, which he described as a strategic platform enabling Inter to increase revenue. Inter and AC Milan completed the purchase of San Siro and the surrounding land from the city in November 2025, with bank financing behind the deal.

The clubs have hired Foster + Partners and Manica to design the new ground and the wider masterplan. Matchday income is where Inter trails Europe's richest clubs most clearly, and an owned stadium is the main lever to close that gap.

Revenue resilience Can commercial and matchday growth keep revenue above €500 million without a deep Champions League run?
Stadium funding The new ground will need serious capital. How it is financed will shape the club's debt profile for a decade.
Oaktree's exit Every fund has a holding period. Two profits, positive equity and a stadium plan all make the club easier to sell.

Inter's accounts show a club that has learned to make money in an average European season. The next test is whether it can fund a new stadium without undoing the balance-sheet repair of the last two years.
