This increase was attributable to the EUR 10.2 million increase in consolidated revenue to EUR 104.3 million, which in turn was due primarily to the lifting of restrictions on match operations and higher advertising income.

Consolidated earnings before taxes (EBT) amounted to EUR 43.1 million (previous year: EUR 37.7 million); consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) amounted to EUR 72.7 million (previous year: EUR 68.1 million).
