The Winnipeg Blue Bombers announced Thursday an annual operating profit of $5.7 million for the 2023 season.
Wade Miller, the club’s president and CEO, credited the Blue Bombers‘ loyal supporters for the financial success, with revenue totalling $50.5 million, a notable increase of 11.2% from the previous year. Gate receipts reached $15.1 million, while game day, merchandise, and concessions revenue hit $11.5 million.
The club allocated $6 million towards the capital fund and operating reserve, ending the year with balances of $9.6 million and $6.6 million, respectively. However, an impairment loss of $1.25 million was recorded on the loan receivable from Valour FC Inc.
