IHM Discussion
The accounts show a steadier financial position for EHC Biel despite a disappointing season for the first team. Revenue close to CHF 20 million and the reduction in the annual loss from CHF 271,000 to CHF 31,000 underline the strength of the club’s commercial income. The donor association’s substantial contribution is a notable part of that picture. Budgeting for CHF 19.66 million in revenue in 2026-27 while targeting an almost balanced result suggests the club is seeking to maintain that stability. Continued development of the Tissot Arena remains part of its stated priorities.
Why It Matters
For a National League club, reducing the annual loss to a marginal figure is a positive financial result. The donor association’s contribution is an important element of the club’s commercial income, while the near-balanced budget for 2026-27 offers a measured outlook. Continued work on the Tissot Arena also keeps the focus on the club’s longer-term infrastructure.
