Berlin: Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund on Friday announced the highest single year turnover figure in their history, with the club generating 509.1 million euros ($559 million) last season.
The amount, which does not take into account money raised from transfer fees, represents a 24 percent increase on the previous season.
Despite a disappointing fifth placing in the Bundesliga, Dortmund's surprising run to the Champions League final, where they lost 2-0 to Real Madrid, was the major reason for the club's record income.
Increased TV revenue and merchandising were also factors in the increase.
"This is my 20th annual press conference, and it's certainly one of the most satisfying ones," club boss Hans-Joachim Watzke said on Friday.
