Braves Revenue Up

I think the Braves are reeping the benefits of everything that the trust has to offer.. Battery, fan ancillary spending, xtra advertising dollars. I just hope this can raise our payroll into the 150+ range. That should produce a better product on the field and thus even more revenue.
 
Revenues up $45M, operating profits before amortization and depreciation up 12M. After amortization and depreciation there was a loss of 3M. I will let the accountants tell us which of these is more relevant to the financial well-being of the team.

EBITDA is typically the management profit indicator that is used in budgeting models. Non-Cash expenses such as D&A will not prevent from future spend.

Profit was 27 million (up from 12 million) before depreciation and Amort. The 3 million loss is just a tax loop hole for Liberty Media. I think the 27 million for the summer quarter is the most important number.

Its not a tax loophole. Depreciation/Amortization is an allowable tax deduction. Is is the systematic allocation of cash outlay for a fixed asset which you are benefiting from over time.

So up 12M for Q2. Double that for July-September. So an increase in profits of about 25M on an annual basis.

I know it is allowable. I got to depreciate my equipment when I had my donut shop. you get a nice tax break.. Business losses in reality suck.. business loss to IRS = $$$

Q2 is going to include some lighter months since school is still in session. I would say anywhere in the range of 30-40M depending on how much the battery is used for non-baseball activities.
 
Then why are the Braves unloading payroll with recent trades? Why did they need permission to add Adams' meager salary?

Something isn't adding up.

Perhaps the increase isn't as large as expected.

Now you are just trolling. You are smart enough to understand current and future year budgets and revenues.
