LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN
The financial statements which we submit for your approval mark a turning point in the recent history of
Juventus. This was an important stage in a process, which began in May 2010, to rebuild and launch a
new phase of development. Your company closed the financial year with positive operating income and
a negligible pre-tax profit. The presence of IRAP tax in Italy’s tax system, a unique tax in the international
panorama, resulted in the recording of a loss.
Multiple factors contributed to the turnaround, however, they can be summarised in a profound change in
management, which returned its natural focus to sports management, while maintaining constant pursuit
of new revenues and cost control.
The challenges that we will have to deal with in the next few years will require an even greater effort. If in
Italy, the return to competitiveness is sanctioned by these financial statements and a historical run of three
consecutive league titles, the economic fundamentals of our international competitors have made us face a
clear reality: our gap with the best European clubs is still large and must be reduced if we intend to aspire
to results in line with our international history. The men and women of Juventus are used to dealing with
difficulties, on the field as well as in the office, making their utmost efforts. This is part of our company
culture, which every individual protects and strengthens on an ongoing basis.
Since the start of my term, I noted the need and urgency to implement several “system-wide” structural
reforms. The management of Juventus has completely changed, but the national context we operate in has
almost remained stagnant. The extreme internal reform thus meets a formidable limit in the lack of overall
development of Italian football. Changing this state is a complex action that is highly urgent in order for us
to achieve the goals we have set. Our football is in need of sweeping domestic initiatives and a new boost
towards international markets.
The Juventus Stadium, which we are extremely proud of, continues to be the only cutting edge sports
structure that can represent a model of security and offer a top end live experience as well as TV broadcast.
However, this is only one-twentieth of the potential Italian ‘stadium product’: too little to trigger a sharp
acceleration in the collective management of national football. The development of new infrastructure
is a fundamental issue for the next five years, in which Italian football will have to make the right choice
between international competitiveness, both on the field and in diversification and increasing revenues, or
profitability, which now seems to be inexorably condemned.
The collective value of television rights of Serie A and international competitions is steadily rising, a clear
sign of a market that is interested in football. This is a privilege that only a few industrial sectors can claim,
and must be protected. In breaking down this income it is necessary to agree on a mechanism capable of
recognising both the value of the leading clubs, which Juventus is one of, and economically protecting
those companies which, due to sports mishaps, may be excluded from Serie A in the future. The failure
to participate in the European cups is now something that is affecting medium and large clubs, but the
downgrading from A to B is an occurrence which places doubt on even the continuity and survival of any
club. In the Serie A League, therefore, when dividing rights, we must all responsible consider this situation,
so that the sustainability of Italian football is not pushed further into crisis.
Then there is football. What we all love. One thing that people’s passion for remains intact. The number of
professional clubs must be further decreased, accompanied by a revision of the composition of the benches,
to ensure the national team has a suitable supply of players that can be called upon. These priorities should
be accompanied by two important additional reforms, with a common denominator: talent. The first is a
suitable immigration policy, which observes State law, while respecting development of the system and
human rights. Then there is the issue of the second teams, to be preferred over those with “multiple
owners”, as it has been tested in many countries (Spain, Holland, United Kingdom) and ensures steady,
harmonious growth in talent with a solid exchange with the First Team. A generation of great Italian players
are coming to the end of their careers, and the next three years will have to quickly grow a new generation,
which will be able to take the staff.
We believe that the next few years will be crucial both in terms of sports performance and for the sustainability
of the ‘Juventus model’. The renewal of the agreement with Jeep up to 2021, the new six-year partnership
with Adidas, the real estate development of the Continassa area, which will host new headquarters and
a new training centre for the first team, the significant investments in the youth sector, the conversion of
the Vinovo centre into an Academy with the utmost focus on emerging talent, the ongoing development
of digital media and the rewarding participation in the international bodies European Club Associations
(ECA) and Union des Associations Europèennes Football (UEFA), prove that Juventus is in a good position to
continue its process of virtuous development in Italy, in the knowledge that it has to continue to pursue all
activities, even those unexplored so far.
As regards international expansion, the structures of Juventus are aware that the internationalisation of
our brand is fundamental. Firstly, steady competitiveness in the European Cups, both in the Champions
League and in the Europa League. Nonetheless, to acquire a real international nature in terms of sports and
business, there are several fundamental factors which, unfortunately, we cannot all directly control. The
limits of the system, mentioned above, are circumscribing several important opportunities for development.
In the last four years, we have been able to count on the expertise of the following professionals: Giuseppe
Marotta and Aldo Mazzia represent the top management of this club, which counts high quality individuals
on its staff, Fabio Paratici, Pavel Nedved and Francesco Calvo above all, who decisively pursue the company’s
annual financial report 30062014
goals. Antonio Conte, who we all thank, decided on his own to follow a different professional path. Our
commitment is now supported by a new team manager: Massimiliano Allegri, a winner, who has already
instilled us with new vigour and a new desire to take on everything and everyone.

Company profile
Juventus is a listed professional football club which, thanks to its more than century-long history, has become one
of the most representative and popular teams at a national and international level. The Company’s core business is
participation in national and international competitions and the organisation of matches. Its main sources of income
come from the economic exploitation of sports events, the Juventus brand and the first team image, the most
significant of these include licensing of television and media rights, sponsorship and selling of advertising space.
Juventus shares are listed on the electronic equity market of Borsa Italiana.
Juventus is controlled by EXOR S.p.A., an Italian company listed on the Italian Stock Exchange, which holds
63.8% of the share capital. EXOR is one of the main European investment firms and is controlled by Giovanni
Agnelli e C. S.a.p.a.z. Based on the most recent information available, the remaining capital of Juventus is held
2.2% by Lindsell Train Ltd. and 34% is a free float on the Stock Exchange.
Juventus is currently the only Italian football club to possess a club-owned stadium. It was inaugurated on 8
September 2011; the Club also has a modern sports centre inaugurated on 15 July 2006, which became home to
the Juventus College (high school) as of 5 September 2012, dedicated exclusively to the youth sector.
Our history
A group of friends, united by a passion for football, a special game that had recently been “imported” from
England, met on a bench on Corso Re Umberto, one of the major boulevards in the centre of Turin. They had an
intriguing idea: to create a sports club just for football. The boys attended Massimo D’Azeglio high school which
specialised in Classical studies, they were well-educated and none of them was over age 17. For this reason they
chose the name Juventus, which means “youth” in Latin”. It was 1 November 1897. They didn’t realise it, but
they had just given birth to a legend.
And so, almost by chance, Italy’s greatest football team got its start. The Club’s first chairman was Enrico Canfari,
its first pitch was in Piazza d’Armi and its first jersey was pink. Juventus made its début, in 1900, in the National
Championship wearing the same jersey. Three years later, the Bianconero (black and white) appeared, imported
from Nottingham. And five years later, in 1905, the first Italian title arrived, after a difficult three way competition
with Genoa and Milanese. The president was the Swiss Alfredo Dick who left the Club shortly afterwards following
locker-room arguments and various complaints. He went on to establish Torino and took the best foreign players
with him. Juventus witnessed hard times in subsequent years lasting until the beginning of WWI due to being
unable to compete with the new football powerhouses of the time, Pro Vercelli and Casale. The Bianconeri made
a great comeback after the end of the war: goalkeeper Giacone and fullbacks Novo and Bruna were the first
Juventus players to wear the National Team’s jersey. The President was the poet and man of words Corradino
Corradini, who also penned the Juventus anthem used until the 60s. 1923 was a special year: Giampiero Combi
made his début with the first team, one of the greatest goalkeepers of all times, and even more importantly the
Club’s leadership changed hands. On 24 July the Shareholders’ Meeting elected the new president by acclamation:
Edoardo Agnelli, the son of the founder of FIAT. The club also had its own pitch now, in Corso Marsiglia. The
stands were in masonry and the number of supporters increased day by day. All of the foundations had been laid
to progress through the ranks of Italian football and strengthen a team that already boasted players like Combi,
In 1925/1926 Juventus won their second national championship, following a gripping final with Bologna, beaten
only in a play-off and a grand final against Alba Roma. And this was just the beginning: from 1930 to 1935
Juventus was way out in from and five consecutive national league titles arrived in Turin. The stars of the “Golden
five-year period” were the manager Carlo Carcano and champions such as Orsi, Caligaris, Monti, Cesarini, Varglien
I and II, Bertolini, Ferrari and Borel II. Juventus also gave a determinant contribution to the National Team, who
won the world Cup in Rome in 1934. During the 1930’s the team also had their first experience in international
football, taking part in the European Cup, the illustrious predecessor of the current Champions League. Luck was
not on their side, but they did make four semi-final appearances.
Juventus resumed their success after WWII. In 1947, Giovanni Agnelli, son of Edoardo, who tragically died in
a plane crash in 1935, became president. The club’s most heralded champions were now Carlo Parola, Danes
John Hansen and Praest and, above all Giampiero Boniperti. Cheered on by crowds of fans, they won the Italian
Championship in 1950 and 1952.
In 1953, Giovanni Agnelli resigned as president, which was passed onto his brother Umberto Agnelli two years
later. A new triumphant cycle was beginning: with the arrival of Omar Sivori and John Charles, the Bianconeri
won the Italian Championship in 1958, allowing them to wear a star on their jerseys for having obtained ten
national titles. In the 60s there were three more successes, the last in 1967 under Vittorio Catella’s presidency.
Juventus’ history was to become even more glorious at the dawn of the new decade. Giampiero Boniperti had
hung up his boots, but he continued to lead the team: he became the President in July 1971 and there was no
stopping Juventus.
The Boniperti era started with a bang by winning two championships in a row, the 1971/1972 and 1972-1973
seasons. It was the beginning of a triumphant cycle which would bring the Bianconeri nine Italian Championships,
their first European victory with the Uefa Cup in 1977 and the Cup Winners’ Cup in 1984.
Directing the team from the bench was Giovanni Trapattoni, who had arrived at Juventus in 1976 after the Czech
Vycpalek and Carlo Parola, who had created an invincible engine under Boniperti’s presidency. First, by focussing
on young Italian talents from Zoff to Scirea, from Tardelli to Cabrini, from Causio to Paolo Rossi, from Gentile to
Furino, from Anastasi to Bettega. Then, when he was able to sign foreign players in 1980, he was able to count
on the contribution of foreign champions. The first was Liam Brady, an Irish midfielder with velvet feet and a smart
brain, who dictated the pace of the game and scored valuable goals. His final strike, scored in Cagliari from the
penalty spot gave Juventus their twentieth Italian Championship, and their second star. It was 16 May 1982 and
the Bianconeri supporters were jubilant.
37
Less than two months later, on 11 July, all Italian fans would share their joy, thanks to Juventus: in Madrid, the
National team won the World Cup for the third time in its history, with a resemblance to Trappattoni’s side. Zoff,
Gentile, Cabrini, Scirea, Tardelli and Rossi were the pillars of the Italian national team who lifted the cup before
Italian President Sandro Pertini. Rossi was the tournament’s top scorer, with six goals in seven matches, winning
the Golden Ball, the second Italian in history to do so after Rivera. The trophy awarded by France Football was
one of the family in Turin, during that period.
After the World Cup season, the number of eligible foreign players on Italian teams increased by two, so the
Pole Zibì Boniek and, more importantly, Michel Platini joined the side. The Frenchman turned out to be a true
champion. Elegant in his movements, playing with his head held high, placing passes onto his team mate’s feet
from 50 metres and scoring many goals. “Le Roi” won top goalscorer and the Golden Ball for three consecutive
years and enchanted supporters all over the world. At the triumph in Tokyo, he scored the last penalty, the
winning spot kick, after one of the best goals ever seen in football history was disallowed in normal time. Juventus
achieved their last Italian Championship of the Boniperti era in that season. Platini went on to play another season
before leaving his career as player in 1987 and becoming a coach, manager and later President of UEFA in 2007.
Platini’s farewell to football coincided with a reformation of the team, seeing Juventus witness a less successful
period, despite other victories: in 1990 the Bianconeri won both the UEFA cup and Italian Cup. Dino Zoff was at
the helm, who at first was supported by the precious contribution of one of his great friends and former team
mates, Gaetano Scirea. But fate brought a tragic end to that solid link: during a trip to Poland to scout Juventus’
future opponents in the Uefa Cup, Gaetano lost his life in a tragic car accident. The date was 3 September 1989
and no Juventus supporter will ever forget it.
In 1990 Giampiero Boniperti handed over the presidency to the attorney Vittorio Caissotti di Chiusano. Three
years later, Juventus clinched their third UEFA Cup, but had not had a Championship win in a long time. In 1994,
the club started a reorganisation process: Chiusano remained as president, but operating positions were given to
Roberto Bettega, Antonio Giraudo and Luciano Moggi.
Marcello Lippi was the coach and the team featured many new players: Ferrara in defence, Paulo Sousa and
Deschamps in midfield and up front alongside unrivalled leaders like Gianluca Vialli and Roberto Baggio, was an
interesting younger player. He had arrived the year before from Padova, showing a notable technique and strong
personality. His name was Alessandro Del Piero. And he would go on to rewrite all of Juventus’ records. First came
the Italian Championship, followed by the Italian Cup. There was an ongoing struggle with Parma, who finally
managed to wrest the Uefa Cup from Juventus. The year was a triumph, but one that was also marked by tragedy
of Andrea Fortunato, who died from an incurable disease on 25 April 1995. The Italian Championship victory
allowed Juventus to claim their place in the Champions League the following year. They eliminated Real Madrid
in the quarter-finals, and went on to beat Nantes in the semis. The final was played in Rome against reigning
champs Ajax. It was 22 May 1996, it ended 1-1. Then the penalties: the Bianconeri did not miss one, while Peruzzi
saved two. Jugovic approached the penalty spot wearing a smile for the last kick. His smile turned into a cry of
joy after a few seconds. Juventus became Champions of Europe.
The team underwent drastic changes the following year: offensive players Vialli and Ravanelli left, and Boksic,
Vieri and Amoruso arrived. Montero and Zidane also joined the team to bolster the defence and midfield. The
After two unsuccessful seasons, Lippi returned home in 2001: the manager from Viareggio took over the
team who, without Inzaghi and Zidane, could count on the vital signings of Buffon, Thuram and Nedved. The
championship went right down to the wire: Inter were at home and played against Lazio in Rome. Juventus, in
Udine, started out very strong and went ahead in the first fifteen minutes. Inter, instead, floundered, made a
recovery, fought and then sunk.
The immense joy of Del Piero and Trezeguet, along with Ronaldo’s tears: these are the images which mark
the history of Italian Championship number 26. The tricoloured shield remained on the Juve’s jersey for the
following season, but it was a sad year. Giovanni Agnelli died on 24 January 2003 and the club and its fans
were in mourning. In May, the team suffered another setback, losing the Champions League final on penalties in
Manchester against Milan.
15 July proved to be an important date for the club: Juventus signed an agreement with the Municipality of Turin
for the acquisition of a 99 year lease for the Delle Alpi Stadium, where the new stadium would be built. In the
meantime, in August the team played the Italian Super Cup in the USA and got its revenge by beating Milan.
However, the celebration was short-lived as the death of President Vittorio Caissotti di Chiusano was announced.
Franzo Grande Stevens, deputy chairman of FIAT took his place. Following the Super Cup victory, the remainder of
the season was unfulfilling for Juventus, and the club was again in deep mourning the next spring when Umberto
Agnelli passed away on 27 May 2004.
Towards the end of the 2005/2006 season, the club was involved in a judicial enquiry, originating from recorded
telephone calls. The matter, known as “Calciopoli” brought about major changes within the club, with the
election of a new Chairman, Giovanni Cobolli Gigli and CEO, Jean-Claude Blanc. Juventus was sentenced by the
sporting body to play a season in Serie B and penalised nine points and the two previous Championship victories
were revoked. Didier Deschamps was the new manager who began his mission with a core of champions: Del
Piero, Buffon and Camoranesi, coming from Italy’s World Cup victory in Berlin as well as Trezeguet and Nedved.
15 December 2006 was a sad date in Juventus’ history, two boys from the Beretti team, Alessio Ferramosca and
Riccardo Neri, died in a tragic accident at the Juventus Training Center in Vinovo. With a deep sadness engulfing
the club, the team returned to the field the following week and beat Bologna, a decisive victory for returning to
39
Serie A, and one that was dedicated to the memory of the two boys. Alex del Piero finished the season as the top
scorer in Serie B and broke the all-time Juventus record for scored goals.
The following season, under Claudio Ranieri’s guidance, the Bianconeri came in third thus qualifying for the
Champions League preliminary round. Captain Del Piero, the key man in a great season was top scorer with 21
goals, one more than his team mate Trezeguet. In the 2008/2009 season, Juventus had a difficult second part of
the season and suffered negative results which could have affected their qualification for the Champions League.
Ciro Ferrara replaced Ranieri for the last two days of the championship and Juventus finished in second place.
Ferrara was confirmed for the following season, which witnessed the return of Fabio Cannavaro and new team
additions Fabio Grosso, Felipe Melo and Diego. In October Giovanni Cobolli Gigli resigned as Chairman and
Jean-Claude Blanc took full control. The team, which had started out well, encountered a series of injuries which
compromised their overall performance. Management changed again in late January with Zaccheroni taking over
from Ferrara. The season ended with a seventh place finish and qualification for the Europa League.
The turning point arrived on 19 May 2010 when Andrea Agnelli became chairman of the club and Giuseppe
Marotta General Manager for the Sports Area, opening a new chapter in the team’s history. On 27 October 2010
Giuseppe Marotta was also nominated Chief Executive Officer.
The 2010/2011 season was marked by a complete overhaul of the First Team and top company management and
ended with a seventh place, not enough for Juventus to qualify for the 2011/2012 European competitions, and
the dismissal of manager Luigi Del Neri. In May 2011 Jean-Claude Blanc left his position and obtained a special
appointment to complete the new stadium project and its inauguration. Aldo Mazzia was nominated as Chief
Executive Officer.
During the Transfer Campaign in summer 2011 the First Team continued its renewal, a job entrusted to Antonio
Conte, the captain of many victorious battles.
Juventus returned home on 8 September 2011: in two years the old Delle Alpi Stadium had been dismantled and
a new club-owned stadium stood in its place, the first of its kind in Italy.
The splendid inauguration ceremony included a friendly game with football’s second oldest team, Notts County,
who had given its black and white jerseys to Juventus in 1903.
The Juventus Stadium is a symbol of pride for the Club, its supporters and the City of Turin. The investments made
by Juventus, for around 150 million Euro, and its partners who developed the adjacent shopping centre, totalling
approximately 90 million Euro, helped keep hundreds of jobs from being lost during the two years needed for
its construction and continue to create new employment opportunities for running the stadium and shopping
centre, also contributing to redeveloping and revitalising an entire area of the city. A further step in this direction
was taken on 14 June 2013 with the signing of the final 99-year lease agreement for a portion of the Continassa
Area of approximately 176 thousand square metres next to the Juventus Stadium. The Area will be the venue of
the new Training and Media Center of the First Team and will house the new registered office of the company, as
well as provide services to the public, to businesses and to individuals.
The 2011/2012 season will remain unforgettable: the team under the guidance of Antonio Conte and driven by
the magical atmosphere of the Juventus Stadium combined performance with results ending the championship
The J Museum was inaugurated on 16 May 2012, an ideal spot for Juventus fans to meet and retrace this
unforgettable story of successes every day.
The J College was inaugurated at the Vinovo Training Centre on 5 September 2012. This is an innovative project
for the Youth Sector, to help young players reconcile their sporting and school commitments in the best way
possible.
In the 2012/2013 season, Juventus returned to the European stage, reaching the quarter finals in the Champions
League, and winning its second league title in a row, three matches ahead of the last game, at the end of a season
in which it was in the lead from day one.
The following season was triumphant: in August, another Italian Super Cup was won, and at the end of the
championship Juventus was still in the lead. This is the third consecutive national championship, which has not
happened since the time of the “Golden five-year period”. This success was even more exciting as a result of the
amazing figures achieved by the Team, starting with the 102 points obtained. This was a record-breaking football
season.

Main risks and uncertainties to which Juventus is exposed
Juventus’ Risk Model, based on benchmark standards adapted to the Company’s specific risk categories, includes
three main risk categories: industry risk, process risk (divided in turn into strategic, operational and financial risk)
and compliance risk.
A brief description of the main risks the Company is exposed to is given below.
Risks connected with the ability to attract “human capital” (context risk)
Achieving sports and economic results depends on the ability to attract and keep top quality managers, players
and technical staff and, therefore, requires payment of salaries in line with those of the main competitors in Italy
and Europe. The inability to keep “key people” may have a negative impact on the actual ability to manage and
on the Club’s growth prospects.
In addition, given that the business also focuses on the commercial exploitation of the trademark, trademark
infringement by third parties is another risk the Company faces. The arrival on the market of a large number of
imitation goods bearing the Juventus trademark or the occurrence of events that may impair the market value of
the trademark would potentially have an adverse impact on the Company’s financial position, income statement
and cash flows.
Finally, the Company is exposed to risks connected with supporter behaviour, which may result in fines, sanctions
or other punishments being levied on Juventus, and indirectly damage the Club’s image, which may lead to a
lower stadium turnout and lower merchandising sales.
It cannot be excluded that these trends may continue in future years, affecting the Company’s strategy and the
dynamic management of its playing assets, and may have negative effects on the Company’s financial position,
income statement and cash flows, as well as on its activities, strategies and prospects.

Risks connected to radio and television rights (strategic process risks)
The Company’s revenues are closely tied to proceeds from the sale of radio and television rights, the terms
and conditions of those rights, and how such rights are sold. Rules governing the ownership of broadcasting
rights to sports events and the distribution of proceeds, do not allow for direct management by the Company
and may have a significant impact on the financial position, income statement and cash flows of Juventus. A
possible decrease in the rights market or a different application of the new criteria adopted by the Lega for
the distribution of proceeds from the centralised and collective sale of radio and television rights may lead to a
significant reduction of revenues in the future with a negative impact on the financial position, income statement
and cash flows of the Company.
Moreover, for several years now, live streaming and piracy on Internet have caused the loss of income for TV
broadcasters which could lead them to change the investments in the sector with a negative impact on the
financial position, income statement and cash flow of the Company.
This means that the Company is now responsible for the stadium, with the consequent risks related to the
structure of the stadium and management of the surrounding public areas used for parking. This may also lead
to unexpected costs, including due to damage or vandalism which is beyond Juventus’ control. Activities at the
Juventus Stadium could also be suspended following natural disasters and other events beyond the Company’s
control with consequent negative impacts on Juventus’ financial position, income statement and cash flows.
Lastly, a reduction of supporters and played matches would have a negative effect on Juventus’s financial position,
income statement and cash flows.
Risks connected to the no-fault liability of football clubs (strategic process risks)
Under current regulations, football clubs have a no-fault liability in relation to certain acts of their registered
players and fans, that may result in sports sanctions and/or monetary fines for the clubs and players. In this regard,
despite adopting procedures considered necessary to avoid the infringement of these regulations, the Company
cannot rule out the possibility that facts may occur beyond its control that result in sanctions (including suspension
from the field, fines, and bans from competitions), and that cause concern among fans at the stadium, reducing
Risks connected to fluctuations in interest rates and exchange rates (financial process
risk)
Juventus uses various forms of funding to assure the cash flow needed for its business. These include credit lines
for cash advances and credit commitments, factoring, financial leases, and special purpose loans for mid/long-
term investments. Changes in interest rates can raise or lower the cost of servicing these loans. The Company has
decided to make use of financial instruments to hedge the risk of fluctuations in interest rates to finance medium-
long term investments. Despite this, sudden changes in interest rates could potentially have an adverse impact on
the Company’s financial position and income due to higher financial expenses on short-term borrowing.
Juventus conducts almost all its purchase and sale transactions in euro. As a result, the Company is not exposed
in any significant way to the risk of exchange rate fluctuations.
Risks connected to the missed qualification for sports tournaments (strategic process
risk)
The Company’s financial performance is significantly affected, both directly and indirectly, by the results achieved
by the team in the various tournaments it takes part in, especially the UEFA Champions League. Direct entry to the
tournament is currently assured to the top two ranking teams in the Serie A Championship, while the third-placed
team has the opportunity of qualifying through a preliminary qualifying round. Failure to qualify, even where due
to a reduction in the number of participating sides, as well as failure to obtain the UEFA licence, including in light
of the “Financial Fair Play” rules, could potentially have an adverse impact on the Company’s financial position
and performance.
Financial Fair Play is based on the break-even result, according to which clubs can participate in European
competitions only if they can demonstrate a balance between generated revenues and incurred costs. A short
description is given below of the man financial-economic and equity parameters applied by UEFA for admission
to its competitions. As of the 2013/2014 Football Season, each club will be required to show it has:
• financial statements certified by an independent auditor demonstrating that the club is a going concern;
• non-negative equity;
49
• no outstanding amounts due to football clubs, employees and/or social/tax authorities;
• compliance with the Break-Even Rule” i.e., a positive “break-even result” for three consecutive years prior to
that in which the UEFA Licence is applied for.
The Company has obtained a UEFA licence to play in European championships for the 2014/2015 Football Season,
however it is not possible to predict if in the future these requirements (or any new requirements approved in the
meantime) will be complied with, nor can it be excluded that clubs may be required to have additional funding to
meet the requirements needed for the UEFA License. If the Company is not able to meet the above requirements,
it may be excluded from participation in European competitions, bearing an adverse impact on its financial
position and income statement.
Future negative effects, both minor and major, on Juventus’ financial position, income statement and cash flows
cannot be excluded on the basis of the current disputes.
As regards other competitions, the First Team won the Italian Super Cup (for the 6th time in its history) and was
eliminated from the semi-finals of the UEFA Europa League, and the quarter finals of the Italian Cup.
In September, the Primavera Team won the Italian Super Cup for its category.
On 12 May 2014 the UEFA first instance licensing committee at FIGC, once examined the submitted documentation
and verified its compliance to the criteria and parameters required by the regulations, issued Juventus a UEFA license
for the 2014/2015 football season.
Transactions concluded in the first phase of the 2013/2014 Transfer Campaign, run as usual in a summer phase (from
1 July to 2 September 2013) and winter phase (from 3 to 31 January 2014), as well as in June 2014, only for the
termination of some player-sharing agreements, raised total invested capital by E 51.5 million, as a result of acquisitions
and increases totalling E 83 million and disposals totalling E 31.5 million (net book value of rights disposed).
The disposals and terminations of player-sharing agreements generated net capital gains of E 35.3 million.
The total net financial commitment of E 12.2 million is spread over five years, and includes auxiliary expenses and
financial income and expenses implicit in deferred receipts and payments.
For additional details see the notes, Note 8, of the financial statements.
This resulted in lower amortisation for the financial year 2013/2014 by approximately E 2.9 million.
Furthermore, in June 2014, the players’ registration rights contracts of the following players were renewed,
starting on 1 July 2014:

2013/2014 Season Ticket Campaign
The Season Ticket Campaign for the 2013/2014 football season closed with the sale of all the 28,000 available
season passes, for net revenues of E 20.2 million (E 19.8 million the previous season), including Premium Seats
and additional services.
At the beginning of the 2013/2014 football season the new Juventus Stadium stand was inaugurated, with
around 320 seats, called Legends Club, that offers fans extremely comfortable chairs, a restaurant with table
service and view over the playing field. The Legends Club is sold per single match and expands the range of
premium services offered at Juventus Stadium.
Juventus College
Juventus College saw its second year of operation at the Training Center in Vinovo. There were four classes,
one more than last year, and a new refectory began operation. The work to expand the facility was also
completed, which, from 15 September 2014, will host a new class and new workshops.
In September 2013, the European Club Association (ECA) acknowledged Juventus College as the best youth
education and development project out of all those implemented by European clubs and targeted at the Youth
Sector, and awarded the Company the “ECA Best Achievement Award” in the “Youth Development” section.
Adidas will become the technical sponsor of all the Juventus teams for a total fixed payment of € 139.5 million
for the six years of the sponsorship. This amount does not include the annual supplies of technical material,
variable bonuses linked to Juventus’ sports results or additional royalties that could accrue if certain sales
volumes are exceeded.
Juventus will continue its arrangement with Nike as technical sponsor and licensee until 30 June 2015.
Fiat Group Automobiles will continue to be the sole jersey sponsor of Juventus in all competitions, for an annual
fee of E 17 million, starting from the 2015/2016 football season, in addition to the supply of Fiat Group vehicles
for promotional purposes and variable premiums based on the sporting results achieved by Juventus in national
and international competitions. Because of the exceptional nature of the results already achieved, Fiat Group
The terms and conditions of the existing agreement will continue to apply for the 2014/2015 football season,
providing for a fixed fee of E 13 million.
On 12 September 2013, the preliminary works were initiated for fencing off and securing the area, as well as the
initial preparatory and introductory activities for the start of the works envisaged in the PEC and the associated
Environmental Plan.
As provided for in the agreement signed with the City of Turin on 14 June 2013, at the end of December Juventus
paid the balance of the amount for the acquisition of long-term lease on the area, totalling E 3.3 million.
At the beginning of January 2014 Juventus granted Beni Stabili Gestioni S.p.A. – Società di Gestione del Risparmio
(“BSG”) the exclusive assignment to set up a real estate investment fund for the purpose of developing the
Continassa Project (“Fund”).
BSG, with assistance and cooperation from Juventus, is working to obtain the financial resources needed by
the Fund to complete the Continassa Project, both using equity from third party investors and through financial
borrowing.
Over a time frame of four years, the Continassa Project provides for the urban development and revitalisation of
an area of around 180,000 square meters, adjacent to the Juventus Stadium, on which Juventus has acquired a
99-year, renewable long-term lease, which will be contributed and/or transferred to the Fund.
Using a total Gross Floor Area of 38,000 square meters, the new Training and Media Centre for the First Team
is planned to be developed, as well as the new registered office of Juventus, a hotel and services for people and
businesses.
The land in question, with a buildable area of approximately 22,900 square metres and a gross floor area for
tertiary companies totalling 11,830 square metres, will allow the Company to have new areas in the future to
use for expansion of the JTC and/or other connected activities.
Payment for the purchase of the land (which will be delivered completely urbanised and including the relative
53
building permits) has been set at E 10.8 million. This investment will not involve any cash outlays since the
payments due to Campi di Vinovo are aligned with the collection of the receivables still owed to Juventus by
the company.
In addition the purchase from the Municipality of Vinovo was finalised for E 0.1 million of the building permits,
necessary for maintaining the air dome of one of the training fields or to convert it into a permanent structure.
Receivables due from Finanziaria Gilardi S.p.A. and Campi di Vinovo S.p.A.
With regard to the receivables due from Finanziaria Gilardi S.p.A. and Campi di Vinovo S.p.A. deriving from
the sale to Finanziaria Gilardi S.p.A. (originally Costruzioni Generali Gilardi S.p.A.) of the shareholding in Campi
di Vinovo S.p.A. and the sale to the same of the company related to the “Mondo Juve – Parco Commerciale”
project to be built on the land of Campi di Vinovo S.p.A., Finanziaria Gilardi S.p.A. proposed to Juventus a
payment extension, given the extreme crisis that has impacted all economic and financial sectors, as well as the
delays accrued in development of the project in relation to the planned schedule.
Therefore, in February 2014 Juventus, based on the above arguments and against payment by Finanziaria
Gilardi S.p.A. of E 2 million on 31 December 2013, granted the counterparties deferral of payment of the total
remaining receivable of E 14.4 million according to the following due dates: E 2 million by 30 September 2014,
E 4 million by 31 December 2015 and E 8.4 million by 31 July 2016.
In April, following a preliminary agreement for purchase of the land described in the previous paragraph, these
due dates were changed as follows: E 2.1 million by 30 April 2014 (already received), E 2 million by 30
September 2014, E 8.7 million by 31 December 2014 and E 1.6 million by 31 July 2016. The first three payment
due dates were aligned with the outlays for the purchase of the land by Juventus and the collection of the
remaining receivable of E 1.6 million is secured by a guarantee from a leading bank. Therefore, the pledge on
the Campi di Vinovo S.p.A. was extinguished.
Mutu/Chelsea FC proceeding
On 7 October 2013 the Company was served the ruling of FIFA’s Dispute Resolution Chamber, following the
hearing of 25 April 2013 which cited Juventus as jointly liable, with player Adrian Mutu, for the payment to
Chelsea FC plc for damages resulting from dismissal of the player for severe breach of contract, amounting to
E 17 million plus any interest.
This decision was based on previous proceedings resulting from the dismissal of Mutu in 2005 by Chelsea
following drug use by the player. These events had only involved Chelsea and Mutu, since Juventus had not
in any way contributed to the player’s breach with Chelsea which led to the termination of his employment
contract.
On 29 October 2013 the Company submitted an appeal to the FIFA ruling before the Tribunal Arbitral du Sport
(TAS), which suspended the enforcement of the ruling. The hearing set by the Arbitration Board will be held on
1 October 2014.
The Company believes it has valid arguments supporting its position to obtain cancellation of the ruling and,
therefore has not made any allocation to the provision for risks and charges. If an unfavourable ruling is handed
The Company, which was the injured party in the proceedings and the person damaged by the offences
attributed to the investigated parties, also demonstrated, by periodically filing suitable documentation with the
competent officials (prosecuting Attorney General’s Office, Mayor and the Prefecture), the safety and security of
the stadium, which has continued to regularly operate.

Review of the results for the 2013/2014 financial year
Net result for year
Continuing the trend of marked improvement in economic performance, the financial year 2013/2014 closed
with a loss of € 6.7 million, € 9.2 million less than the loss of € 15.9 million for the previous financial year. This
improvement derives from the increase in revenues of € 32 million (+11.3% compared to the previous year),
comprising € 25 million in higher income from the management of players’ registration rights, partially offset
by an increase in players’ wages and technical staff cost of € 18.9 million (+12.7% compared to the 2012/2013
financial year), as well as other net negative changes of € 3.9 million. These changes mainly included higher
provisions (€ 0.5 million), higher income taxes (€ 1.8 million), higher net financial expenses (€ 1.6 million)
and higher other operating costs (€ 0.6 million) partly offset by lower provisions and write-downs on players’
registration rights (€ 0.6 million).
Income before taxes also improved, increasing from a loss of € 10.9 million to a profit of € 0.1 million in the
2013/2014 financial year (€ +11 million). IRAP tax had a harsh negative effect (€ 7.2 million in the 2013/2014
financial year and € 5.9 million in the previous year), sharply penalising companies with high personnel costs
(which cannot be deducted for the purposes of this tax), giving rise to taxation not correlated with the actual
overall income performance of such companies. For the financial year in question, which closed with pre-tax
profit of € 0.1 million, IRAP actually resulted in a loss at the level of net income/(loss).
Revenues
Revenues for 2013/2014 totalled € 315.8 million, with an increase of 11.3% compared to the € 283.8 million in
the previous year, and are represented by:
Television and radio rights and media revenues 151.0 47.8% 163.5 57.6% (12.5)
Revenues from sponsorship and advertising 60.3 19.1% 52.6 18.5% 7.7

Television and radio rights and media revenues amounted to € 151 million in the 2013/2014 financial year

Champions League and, subsequently, the direct elimination rounds of the UEFA Europa League up to the semi-
This item amounts to € 60.3 million, up € 7.7 million compared to the figure of € 52.6 million of the previous year,
mainly due to higher revenues from sponsorships as a result of sporting results achieved (€ +6 million), as well as
the general increase in sponsorship agreements (€ +2.9 million), partly offset by lower revenues from advertising
(€ -1 million).
Ticket sales
These totalled € 41 million (€ 38 million the previous year), an increase of € 3 million due to the effect of higher ticket
sales revenues for UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League home matches (€ +1.7 million), higher fees and
income for friendly matches (€ +1.3 million), income from additional match services (€ +0.9 million), revenues from
57
ticket sales for Championship home matches (€ +0.7 million) and season passes (€ +0.3 million) and other services
(€ +0.1 million). These increases were partly offset by lower revenues from playing in Italian Super Cup (€ -1.2 million)
and the Italian Cup (€ -0.8 million).
Revenues from players’ registration rights amounted to € 36.4 million, up by € 25 million compared to the figure
of € 11.4 million in the same period of the previous year. This was mainly due to higher gains from definitive
disposals of players’ registration rights (€ +26.4 million), net of lower revenues from temporary disposal of players
(€ -1.5 million).
Other revenues
This item amounted to € 27.1 million (€ 18.3 million at 30 June 2013) and mainly included income from the
Juventus Museum and the “Membership” and “Stadium Tour” initiatives, as well as income from the television
production of matches, from non-sporting activities carried out at the Juventus Stadium, and insurance payments
and contributions of the Lega Nazionale Professionisti Serie A.
In the financial year 2013/2014 that item also includes the fee received from UEFA for hosting the UEFA Europa
League final at Juventus Stadium.
Operating costs
Operating costs for 2013/2014 totalled € 246.6 million, showing an increase of 8.6% compared to the € 227.1
million of the previous year, and are composed of:
Players’ wages and technical staff costs 167.9 68.1% 149.0 65.6% 18.9
External services 48.0 19.5% 45.1 19.9% 2.9

Players’ wages and technical staff costs amount to € 167.9 million; compared to the figure of € 149 million of the
previous year, this item increased by € 18.9 million, essentially due to higher remuneration relative to new contracts
stipulated with the players acquired in the course of the 2013/2014 Transfer Campaign (€ +14.3 million) and higher
variable bonuses paid to players (€ +3.5 million) due to the achievement of individual goals, as well as the victory in
the Championship and the direct qualification in the UEFA Champions League 2014/2015.
Expenses from players’ registration rights amount to € 3.8 million (€ 5.6 million for the same period of the
previous year). The net decrease of € 1.8 million was mainly due to lower losses on disposals (€ -0.7 million) and
lower expenses for temporary acquisitions (€ -0.6 million).
Shareholders’ Equity
Shareholders’ equity at 30 June 2014 amounted to € 42.6 million, down compared to the balance of € 48.6
million at 30 June 2013 due to the effect of the loss for the year (€ -6.7 million), net of changes in cash flow
hedge reserves (€ +0.2 million) and actuarial gains/losses reserves (€ +0.6 million), as well as other minor changes
(€ -0.1 million).
At 30 June 2014, the fully paid-up share capital of Juventus amounted to € 8,182,133.28 and was made up of
1,007,766,660 no par value ordinary shares.
59
Net financial debt
At 30 June 2014, net financial debt totalled € 206 million, an increase of € 45.7 million on the negative balance
of € 160.3 million recorded at 30 June 2013. That increase was driven by Transfer Campaign payments (net
€ -46.1 million), advances paid to the City of Turin and various suppliers in relation to the Continassa Project
(€ -5.5 million), investments in other fixed assets (€ -6.7 million) and cash flow from financing activities (€ -7.5
million), partially offset by positive cash flow from operations (€ +20.1 million).
At 30 June 2014 the Company had revocable lines of credit for € 309.8 million, used for a total of € 186.3
million, of which € 35.8 thousand for guarantees issued in favour of third parties, € 106.3 million for overdrafts
and € 44.2 million for advances on contracts and trade receivables (for additional information see Note 51).

Business outlook
Also in the 2014/2015 financial year, the Company allocated significant resources to further strengthen the
First Team bench, keep talents on its staff and lay the foundation for the future inclusion of young players with
excellent prospects.
As a consequence, the result, currently still expected to be a loss, will be influenced by increases in costs relating
to sports management and the changes, also with respect to future revenues, that will derive from the sporting
results actually achieved in Italy and Europe.
The Company’s objective is built on the improvement in financial performance achieved during the previous three
financial years.
65
Human resources and organisation
The main results achieved in the year ended at 30 June 2014 by the men and women working for Juventus
include: record turnover, decrease in the net loss compared to the previous year and the return to earning pre-
tax profits, the development of the brand with the resulting improvement in the commercial appeal of Juventus
and its performance on social media, the record number of matches (thirty) held at Juventus Stadium, including
the prestigious UEFA Europa League final, the consolidation of the number of visitors to the Juventus Museum
(among the 50 most visited museums in Italy) and the launch of the Continassa Project.
The further consolidation in sports performance, winning the third consecutive league title and the record of 102
points in Serie A, make the 2013/2014 season an important, historical season in the Company’s growth process.
These wins, both on the field and off, are the fruit of skill, professionalism, planning, the unending pursuit of
excellence, teamwork and widespread commitment throughout the entire organisation.
In the 2013/2014 football season, the total staff grew further, from 598 to 668. The most significant portion of
the increase is concentrated in the Youth Sector, due to the boost to the basic activities.

as a result of the inclusion in the staff of some personnel previously under employee lease agreements.
There were no significant changes to organisational structures, except for the full operation of the functions set
up in previous years (Stadium, Digital, Public Affairs and Legal).
In terms of training, the Company continues to focus on ongoing training for new-hires and managers on the
specific areas of safety in the workplace and environmental safety, privacy and administrative liability of the
company.
At the end of the year, training was launched to improve English skills using e-learning, with a leading company in
e-education. More than 50% of the personnel was involved, with the goal of supporting the internationalisation
strategy of Juventus, a fundamental element in developing the Company over the medium term.

In the 2013/2014 financial year, an important training initiative was implemented for the technical staff of the Youth
Sector, aimed at improving management skills of the Technical Staff, specifically of the Team Managers, which now
must take on an increasingly central role in developing young athletes.
The course, about 50 classroom hours over the entire football season, with speakers including experts also from outside
of Italy, had a high level of participation and was highly appreciated by participants. It will certainly be repeated in the
next few years.

Juventus College
The school year 2013/2014 for the young people enrolled in Juventus College began on 4 September and ended
on 6 June 2014. The high school was attended by 89 students, all registered with the Company’s Youth Sector,
divided into the first four classes. 52% of students passed the year in June, which rose to 79% after passing the
makeup exams in September.
Starting from the 2014/2015 football season, the management of educational activities was assigned to the
International School of Europe, a company that has operated in the education field for over fifty years.
• development and implementation of the Training Check method, by acquiring, combining and using technical-
sports, scientific, medical and technological know-how and abilities for the constant improvement of sports
performance;
• the study, definition and implementation of new IT solutions to increase the efficiency and competitive edge of
the company, in particular in managing the assets comprising players, human resources and relations with fans.
To develop these projects, the Company incurred total costs of approximately € 2.5 million in the financial year
2013/2014.

Management and co-ordination activity
Juventus is not subject to management and coordination activity pursuant to article 2497 of the Civil Code by
the majority shareholder EXOR S.p.A. since it does not intervene in the running of the Company and performs
the role of shareholder by holding and managing its controlling equity investment in the Company. There are
no elements which indicate a de facto management and coordination activity since, among other things, the
Company has full and autonomous negotiating powers in relations with others and their is not centralised cash
pool scheme. In addition, the number and expertise of the Independent Directors are adequate in relation to the
dimensions of the Board of Directors and the activity performed by the Company and guarantee the managerial
independence of the Board in defining the general and operating strategic guidelines of Juventus.
Juventus does not exercise management and co-ordination activities for other companies.
The financial statements at 30 June 2014, which we submit for your approval, show a loss of € 6,674,430, which
we propose to cover by drawing the amount from the share premium reserve.

Notes
1. General information on the Company
Juventus Football Club S.p.A. (hereafter Juventus) is a legal entity organised according to the law of the Italian
Republic.
The Company’s headquarters are in Corso Galileo Ferraris no. 32, Turin, Italy.
Juventus is a professional football club which, thanks to its more than century-long history, has become one of
the most representative and popular teams at a national and international level. The Company’s core business
is participation in national and international competitions and the organisation of matches. Its main sources of
income come from the economic exploitation of sports events, the Juventus brand and the first team image, the
most significant of these include licensing of television and media rights, sponsorship and selling of advertising
space.
Juventus shares are listed on the electronic equity market of Borsa Italiana.
Juventus is controlled by EXOR S.p.A., an Italian company listed on the Italian Stock Exchange, which holds
63.8% of the share capital. EXOR S.p.A. is one of the main European investment firms and is controlled by
Giovanni Agnelli e C. S.a.p.a.z.
2.2% of Juventus’ share capital is held by Lindsell Train Ltd. and the remaining 34% is a free float on the Stock
Exchange.
The Company does not hold equity investments in subsidiaries and/or associates. Therefore, these financial
statements refer to the single entity Juventus Football Club S.p.A.
Additional information is reported in the “Company Profile” section of the Report on Operations.
2. Standards used for preparing the financial statements and measurement policies
These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with the international financial reporting standards
(IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and endorsed by the European Union. IFRS
are understood to include international accounting standards (IAS) still in force, as well as all the interpretative
documents issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC), formerly known as
the Standing Interpretations Committee (SIC).
These financial statements at 30 June 2014 have also been prepared in accordance with CONSOB instructions,
issued in Resolution no. 15519, Resolution no. 15520 and Notification no. 6064293 of 28 July 2006, in
implementation of Article 9, section 3, of Legislative Decree no. 38 of 28 February 2005, and Recommendation
no. 10081191 of 1 October 2010 as regards the information to report in the financial statements of football clubs
listed on the stock markets.
In the income statement the classification of revenues and costs by type has been used, giving priority to reporting
information related to economic effects connected to players’ registration rights, characteristic items of Juventus’
business. In addition to the profit or loss for the year the statement of comprehensive income shows profit and
loss recognised directly on this statement, and not on the income statement.
The statement of changes in shareholders’ equity shows the amount of transactions with shareholders.
The statement of cash flows is prepared with the indirect method reconciling the balances of overdrawn bank
accounts, net of cash and cash equivalents (short term borrowing) at the beginning and end of the year. In order
to determine cash flows from operating activities, the income before taxes for the year are adjusted by the effects
of non-monetary transactions, any deferral or allocation of previous or future operating activity collection or
payments and elements from investment or financing activities.
The date of closure of the financial year, which lasts 12 months, is 30 June of every year.
Unless otherwise indicated the figures in the Notes are shown in thousands of euro.
Where necessary, figures for the previous financial year have been reclassified so as to facilitate comparability with
the year in question.
The significant events for 2013/2014 and significant events after 30 June 2014, as well as the business outlook
are described in specific paragraphs of the “Report on Operations”.
4. Transactions with related parties, atypical and/or unusual transactions and non-
recurring significant events and transactions
The balances of the statement of financial position and income statement from transactions with related parties
There are no significant non-recurring events or transactions. Furthermore, no atypical or unusual dealings were
conducted in 2013/2014, requiring disclosure pursuant to CONSOB Notification No. 6064293 of 28 July 2006.
Juventus’ financial statements are prepared based on the principle of historical cost, except in cases, specifically
described in the following notes, where fair value has been applied as well as the assumption of a going concern.
Going concern
It is the assessment of the directors that, despite the difficult economic and financial context and the significant
loss recorded, there are no material uncertainties (as defined in paragraph 25 of IAS 1) that cast doubt on the
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, considering the profit and financial forecasts of the 2014/2015
budget and Medium-Term Development Plan, and bank credit facilities available (see Note 51).
83
Net financial debt increased further in 2013/2014, in particular as a result of investments made for the last
Transfer Campaigns, the effects of which on the cash flow statement are spread over several financial years. The
Company will be able to cover these greater cash needs by drawing on the bank credit facilities already available
to it. If, hypothetically, a part of those facilities were to be withdrawn, Juventus would nevertheless be able to
raise funding through the disposal of players’ registration rights, without jeopardizing its continuation as a going
concern.
The Company’s objective is to build on the improvement in financial performance achieved during the previous
two financial years.
These are intangible assets with a defined useful life with duration equal to the players’ registrations rights contracts
signed with the players. Players’ registration rights are recognised at cost, including any auxiliary expenses and
possibly discounted to take into account payments spread over more than one year. In reference to the method
of accounting for remuneration for services performed for the Company by licensed third parties (FIFA agents), in
keeping with sector regulations, for players’ registration rights acquisition transactions, it should be noted that: in
the absence of suspending conditions (for example the player remaining registered with the Club) are capitalised
since they are auxiliary expenses for the definitive acquisition of the registration rights; they are instead accounted
for on a time to time basis in the income statement if conditional on the player remaining registered with the
Club or refer to services performed for the temporary acquisition or disposal (definitive or temporary) of the right.
Remuneration for services performed at the time of the renewal of the players’ registration rights contract are
capitalised when not conditional on the player remaining registered with the Club.
In terms of the assessments related to a going concern, the Directors in part taking into account any future
financial effects which may result from the occurrence of the conditions to which this remuneration is subject.
Players’ registration rights are amortised on a straight-line basis based on the duration of the contracts the
Company has signed with the individual football players. The original amortisation plan may be lengthened
following an early renewal of the contract, starting from the season when the renewal starts. For “registered
young players” the amortisation of the cost is in five years on a straight-line basis.
Players’ registration rights are recognised as of the enforceability date stamped on the contracts by the Lega
Nazionale Professionisti Serie A, for national transfers, or the date of the International Transfer Certificate (ITC)
issued by the Italian Football Federation, for international transfers, which normally coincide with the beginning
of the season.
Asset and liability player-sharing agreements are also recognised in players’ registration rights (these are receivables
and payables for player-share agreements as per article 102 bis of the Internal Federal Organisation Regulations
issued by the Italian Football Federation). This instrument was repealed on 27 May 2014 thus, since that date,
it is no longer possible to acquire or dispose of players under player-sharing agreements, and any player-sharing
agreements renewed in the last Transfer Campaign must necessarily be concluded by 30 June 2015.
Liabilities from player-sharing agreements, which represent the value at which the 50% right to player-sharing
was disposed, are recognised at nominal value, but reduce the value of the players’ registration rights whose
player-sharing has been disposed, in order to represent the real acquisition. Based on this, the amortisation
of registration rights subject to disposal of the player-sharing agreement is calculated on the consequently
determined lower cost.
In the presence of indicators of impairment of the value of players’ registration rights (for example, particularly
bad injuries, significant capital losses resulting from disposals made after closing of the financial statements, as
well as market and contractual conditions which actually prevent the disposal of players no longer compatible
with the technical programme), the remaining book value is written down as an impairment loss.
Other intangible assets, acquired or internally produced, are recognised as assets, as per IAS 38 (“Intangible
assets”) if they can be controlled by the enterprise, it is likely that they will general future economic benefits and
when their cost can be reliably determined.
These assets are measured at purchase and/or production cost and, if they have a defined useful life, are amortised
on a straight-line basis for their entire estimated useful life and taking into account their estimated realisation
value. They are written down if impaired. Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life are not amortised, but
they are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if there is an indication that the asset may be impaired.
If the impairment later reverses or reduces, the carrying amount of the asset is written-back (with the exception
Tangible assets, including the real estate investment represented by the company-owned stadium, are recognised
at purchase and/or production cost adjusted by accumulated depreciation and any impairment. The cost includes
all expenses directly incurred to prepare the assets for use.
Costs incurred for routine maintenance and repairs are recognised in the income statement of the year they
are incurred, or capitalised if of an incremental nature. The capitalisation of costs related to the expansion,
modernisation or improvement of company-owned or leased structural elements is performed only to the limits
that such elements meet the requirements for being separately classified as assets or part of an asset.
85
The depreciation of tangible assets is calculated on a straight-line basis from the time the asset is available and
ready for use and based on its estimated useful life which, for the various assets categories, may be represented
by the following rates:
Stadium 2%
Buildings 3%
Lightweight constructions 10%
Firefighting, heat and electrical systems 10%
Furniture and ordinary office machines 12%
Plumbing fixtures 12.5%
Sports equipment 15.5%
Specific technical systems 19%
Telephone switchboard 20%
Electromechanical and electronic office machines 20%
Vehicles 25%
The remaining value and useful life of tangible assets is reviewed annually and updated, where necessary at the
end of each financial year. The recognised values are periodically subject to impairment testing. If the impairment
later reverses or reduces, the carrying amount of the asset is reinstated to the new estimate of the recoverable
value, but this value cannot exceed what the value would have been without impairment. Reinstatement of
impairment is recognised in the income statement when considered stable.
Capital gains and losses arising from the disposal of tangible assets are recognised in the income statement and
determined by comparing their net book value with their sales price.
Leased assets
Assets held through finance lease contracts where the risks and benefits related to ownership are substantially
transferred to the Company, are recognised as Company assets at their current value, or, if less, at the current
value of the minimum payments due for the lease, from the time they are available and ready for use. The
corresponding liability due to the lessor is represented in the financial statements under financial payables. The
assets are depreciated applying the same policies and rates indicated for tangible assets.
Leases where the lessor substantially maintains the risks and benefits related to ownership of the assets are
classified as operating leases. Costs for operating leases are recognised on a line-by-line basis in the income
statement for the duration of the lease contract.
The costs related to the long-term lease for the area of the stadium and the Continassa area were treated as
similar to the concept of “Long term operating lease” as envisaged in IAS 17, in its broadest sense, since the
ownership of the asset will not be transferred at the end of the lease contract and the duration of the contract
does not cover most of the useful life of the land, which due to its nature has an indefinite useful life. Based
on this, the lease payment was recognised, determined on an accrual basis based on a long-term lease contract
totalling 99 years.
Non-current financial assets may refer to loans and receivables which the Company does not hold for trading,
securities held to maturity and all other financial assets for which there is no available quotation in an active
market and whose fair value cannot be reliably determined.
Non-current financial assets are recognised initially at their fair value. Subsequently, assets with a set maturity
are measured at their amortised cost, determined using the effective interest rate method. Assets without a set
maturity are measured at their purchase cost. Receivables falling due beyond one year which are non-interest
bearing or which accrue interest at a rate lower than the market rate are discounted at market interest rates.
Where objective evidence of impairment exists, financial assets are written down to the discounted value of their
estimated future cash flows, and the impairment loss is recognised as a cost in the income statement for the year.
If in future years the impairment loss is found no longer to exist, the book value of the asset is written back to the
amortised cost that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised.
Trade and other receivables are initially recognised at their fair value. Subsequently, they are measured at their
amortised cost, determined using the effective interest rate method. Where objective evidence of impairment
exists, the assets are written down to the discounted value of their estimated future cash flows. An impairment
loss is recognised in the income statement. If in future years the impairment loss is found no longer to exist,
the book value of the asset is written back to the amortised cost that would have been determined had no
impairment loss been recognised. Trade receivables are stated net of prepaid income arising from the advance
billing of revenues accruing entirely in future years.
Receivables due from football clubs are connected with the disposal of players’ registration rights. It is industry
practice to set the settlement terms for these transactions beyond one year. Based on this, the value of these
The Company eliminates financial assets from its financial statements when, and only when, contract rights to
financial flows arising from assets have expired and the Company transfers the financial asset. In the case financial
assets are transferred:
• if the organisation substantially transfers all risks and benefits of ownership of the financial asset, the Company
eliminates the financial asset from the financial statements and separately recognizes any rights and obligations
arising from or maintained with the transfer as assets or liabilities;
• if the Company substantially maintains all risks and benefits of ownership of the financial assets, it continues
to recognise the financial asset;
87
• if the Company does not substantially transfer or maintain all risks and benefits of ownership of the financial
asset, it determines whether or not it has retained control of the financial asset. In this case:
- if the Company has maintained control, it eliminates the financial asset from its financial statements and
separately recognises any rights or obligations arising from or maintained with the transfer as assets or liabilities;
- if the Company has maintained control, it still recognises the financial asset as the remaining involvement in the
financial asset.
When the financial asset is eliminated from the financial statements, the difference in the carrying amount of the
assets and amounts received or to receive for the transfer of the assets is recognised in the income statement.
Cash and cash equivalents mainly include cash, demand deposits held at banks, and other short-term investments
that can be liquidated on demand with only negligible risk of affecting their value. Cash and cash equivalents are
stated at their fair value, with any changes in fair value recorded in the income statement.
Provisions for risks and charges are allocated to cover losses and liabilities of a determinate nature, whose existence
is certain or probable, but whose amount or timing is uncertain.
Provisions are recognised only when a present obligation (legal or implicit) exists as a result of a past event, and
it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation.
Provisions represent the most reliable discounted estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation. The
discount rate used to determine the present value of a liability reflects current market rates and assessment of the
risk specific to each liability.
Based on application of IAS 37, paragraph 66, allocations to the provision for risks include expenses for
remuneration contractually due to players and technical staff no longer used on the technical programme or
company organisation. This also includes dismissed trainers and football players who are not part of the technical
programme.
Risks which give rise to contingent liabilities are identified in a specific section in the Notes on commitments and
risks. Provisions are not allocated for such risks.
Employee benefits
The Long Term Incentive Plan falls within the definition of other long-term employee benefits provided in
paragraph 126 of IAS 19. Accordingly, the liability for these other long-term benefits is measured, as required, by:
• the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the reporting date;
• less the fair value, at the reporting date, of plan assets (if any), beyond which obligations will have to be settled
directly.
An actuarial technique, the projected unit credit method, was used to measure the value of the Plan. This method
involves calculating the present value of the defined benefit obligations and the related current service cost. It also
The Company engaged the services of an accredited actuary for the purpose.
In 2007/2008 financial year, termination benefits payable to employees under Article 2120 of the Civil Code, and
accounted for under IAS 19, were adjusted to their statutory purchase value and paid to employees or, at their
request, transferred to a pension fund on the basis of a specific company agreement.
Bonds and other financial liabilities, current account overdrafts, trade payables and other payables are initially
recognised at their fair value. Subsequently, they are measured at their amortised cost, determined using the
effective interest rate method.
Payables due to football clubs are connected with acquisitions of players’ registration rights or the repurchase of
50% of the registration rights of players transferred under the player-sharing agreements (balancing assets from
player-sharing agreements made under Article 102-bis of NOIF). It is industry practice in the sector to set the
settlement term for these transactions beyond one year. As such, the value of these payables is discounted to the
future amount that will be paid beyond the current year, on the assumption that the discounting of instalments
paid during the current year would be negligible.
Derivative instruments
Derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at their fair value at the date the relative contract is
made and executed. Subsequently, they are measured at their fair value at the end of the reporting period. Any
resulting gains or losses are recognised immediately in the income statement, unless the derivative instrument is
a designated and effective hedging instrument (cash flow hedge).
Derivatives are classified as non-current assets or liabilities when they mature more than twelve months beyond
Hedge accounting is used for financial instruments only where the hedged item is formally documented and in
line with Company risk management objectives and strategies, and only where hedge effectiveness, measured
periodically, is high. Where derivative financial instruments qualify for hedge accounting, the following criteria is
used:
• Fair value hedge: if a derivative financial instrument is designated as a hedge of the exposure to changes in
fair value of a recognised asset or liability that is attributable to a particular risk and could affect the income
statement, the gain or loss from remeasuring the hedging instrument at fair value is recognised in the income
statement together with changes in the fair value of the hedged item. Gains or losses form changes in the fair
value of the hedging instrument are recognised in the income statement line by line with the hedged item.
• Cash flow hedge: if a derivative financial instrument is designated as a hedge of the exposure to variability in
cash flows of a recognised asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction that could affect the income
89
statement, the portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument that is determined to be an effective
hedge is recognised in shareholders’ equity. The accumulated gain or loss is ten reversed from shareholders’
equity and recognised in the income statement at the same time that the hedged transaction is recognised. If a
hedging instrument or a hedging relationship is discontinued though the hedge transaction has yet to be realised,
the accumulated gains and losses recognised up till that moment in shareholders’ equity are reclassified to the
income statement when the effects of the hedged transaction on the income statement are recognised. If the
hedged transaction is no longer considered probable, the unrealised gain or loss pending in shareholders’ equity
is immediately recognised in the income statement.
Where the requirements of IAS 39 for hedge accounting are not satisfied, transactions, including those intended
to hedge exposure to risk, are classified and measured as held for trading. In this case, changes in fair value for
the reporting period are recognised in the income statement.
Ticket sales, radio and television rights and media revenues are recognised when the relative match is played;
season pass sales, if collected at the end of the previous football season, are deferred and recognised in the
income statement on an accrual basis when each match is played.
Revenues from services (including sponsorships) are recognised progressively or upon full delivery of the service.
Capital gains and losses arising from the disposal of players’ registration rights are recognised as of the
enforceability date stamped on the contracts by the Lega Nazionale Professionisti Serie A, for national transfers,
or as of the date stamped on the International Transfer Certificate (ITC) issued by the Italian Football Federation,
for international transfers.
Capital gains arising from the disposal of players’ registration rights that are repurchased at 50% under player-
sharing agreements are adjusted by 50% in the income statement so as to reflect the income received on the
registration rights effectively sold and transferred. The remaining part of the capital gain can only be realised
upon termination of the player-sharing agreement and the release of the football player from the club. In
contrast, if the disposal of a players’ registration rights before the signing of a player-sharing agreement gives
rise to a loss, no adjustment is recorded. This is because the loss is treated as evidence of impairment of the
players’ registration rights, on the assumption that the loss is realised at the time the players’ registration rights
are transferred.
Likewise, capital gains and losses arising from the termination of player-sharing agreements made under Art.
102-bis of the NOIF are similarly recognised as of the enforceability date stamped on contracts by Lega Nazionale
Professionisti Serie A, if they involve a change in registration or, otherwise, on termination.
Financial income and expenses are recognised in the income statement on an accrual basis. With regard to national
transfers, supervised by Lega Nazionale Professionisti Serie A the current portion of financial income and expenses
implicit in receivables and payables due beyond twelve months is calculated by convention with reference to 30
November, a date considered sufficiently representative of the payment extension granted/obtained.
Sports performance bonuses tied to team performance (such as qualification for European competitions) or to
Transactions in foreign currency are translated into euro at the exchange rate in force on the transaction date.
Foreign exchange gains and losses arising from differences between the cash settlement of transactions and
the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities expressed in foreign currency are
recognised in the income statement.
(i) Basic
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the Company’s net income by the weighted average number
of ordinary shares outstanding during the year, thus excluding treasure shares.
(ii) Diluted
Diluted earnings per share are calculated in the same way as basic earnings per share; except that the weighted
average number of outstanding shares is diluted by assuming that all potential shares will be converted, and
the Company’s net income is adjusted to take into account the effect of such a conversion, net of taxes.
Taxes
Taxes for the financial year are determined on the basis of tax laws and regulations in force.
Income taxes are recognised in the income statement, with the exception of taxes levied on items directly charged
to shareholders’ equity, which are also recognised directly in shareholders’ equity.
Where temporary differences arise between the book values of balance sheet items and taxable income, provisions
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined using the tax rates that will be in force in the future years when
the temporary differences will be realised or settled. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are only offset where
permitted by law.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are shown separately from other receivables and payables due from/to tax
authorities, as specific items classified respectively as non-current assets and non-current liabilities.
Other taxes, that are not income taxes, such as property taxes, are shown as other operating expenses.
The preparation of financial statements and the Notes based on application of the IFRS requires that Directors use
estimates and assumptions that have an effect on assets and liabilities and on the disclosure of potential assets
91
and liabilities at the reporting date. The estimates and assumptions used are based on experience and other
factors considered material. The final results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and assumptions
are reviewed periodically and the effects of every variation are reflected immediately in the income statement or
shareholders’ equity for the reporting period when the estimate was made.
The most significant financial statement items affected by uncertainty are players’ registration rights, deferred
taxes, provisions for risks and charges and the valuation of the Library Juventus (an intangible asset of indefinite
life).
In accordance with IFRS 8, we report that the Company’s primary business consists of participating in national and
international football competitions; as a consequence, the economic and financial components of the financial
statements can be attributed essentially to this type of activity. Furthermore, the Company’s predominant business
is conducted in Italy.
Credit risk
Juventus has adopted suitable procedures to minimise its exposure to credit risk. Specifically, receivables due from
Italian football clubs are secured through the clearing house system organised by Lega Nazionale Professionisti
Serie A; Receivables due from foreign football clubs are generally secured by bank guarantees or other guarantees
issued by the counterparty clubs; Fees receivable under contracts for television rights are indirectly secured by
Lega Nazionale Professionisti Serie A through a minimum guarantee agreement with the advisor Infront Italy S.r.l..
Unsecured trade receivables are monitored regularly and the Company also sets aside an allowance for doubtful
accounts to manage the risk of uncollectability.
The financial payables making up the Company’s net financial position at 30 June 2014 consist of current account
overdrafts, including payables to factoring companies for advances on business agreements, a finance lease held
with UniCredit Leasing S.p.A. on the “Juventus Training Center” (see Note 50) and loans taken out with Istituto
per il Credito Sportivo to finance part of the construction of the Juventus stadium.
A sensitivity analysis as per IFRS 7 to determine the effects of an unexpected and unfavourable change in interest
rates on the Company’s income statement and shareholders’ equity, is reported in the note related to “Loans and
other financial payables” (see Note 22).
To hedge against the risk of fluctuations in interest rate, the Company has adopted a specific policy and
undertaken hedging transactions on the medium-long term loan by purchasing derivative financial instruments
(see Note 23). These derivative instruments are classed as Level 2 instruments under the hierarchy of IFRS 7. No
transfers between hierarchy levels took place during the financial year ended 30 June 2014. In accordance with
Juventus conducts almost all its purchase and sales transactions in euro. As a result, it is not exposed in any
significant way to the risk of exchange rate fluctuations.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that available cash flow may fall short of the obligations and liabilities falling due. The
Company manages liquidity risk by keeping the total amount of credit facilities in place with a number of premier
banking institutions at a level sufficient to prevent cash flow shortages from arising and ensure that operating and
investment requirements are satisfied. For additional information on bank credit facilities, see Note 51.
If unfavourable financial market conditions were to restrict the credit facilities available to Juventus and force the
company to overdraw its credit limits, the Company could find itself with cash flow shortages.
The following accounting standards were applied for the first time by Juventus starting from 1 July 2013.
On 16 December 2011, the IASB issued some amendments to IAS 7 - Financial Instruments: disclosures. The
amendments require disclosure on the effects or potential effects arising from rights to offset financial assets
and liabilities in the statement of financial position. The Company adopted this amendment starting 1 July 2013.
Adoption of the amendment did not have any effects on the disclosures contained in this Annual Financial Report.
On 12 May 2011, the IASB issued the standard IFRS 13 - Fair value measurement, which clarifies how fair value
is determined for the financial statements, and applies to all IFRSs that require or permit fair value measurement
On 16 June 2011, the IASB issued an amendment to IAS 19 – Employee benefits, applicable retroactively from
the year starting after 1 January 2013, which eliminates the option of deferring the recognition of actuarial gains
and losses using the corridor method, requiring presentation of the provision deficit or surplus in the statement of
financial position, the recognition of cost components related to employment services provided and net financial
expenses in the income statement, and the recognition of actuarial gains and losses resulting from liability and
asset re-measurements in “Other comprehensive income/(loss)”. In addition, the return on assets included in
net financial expenses must be calculated based on the discount rate of the liability and no longer the expected
return on the asset. The amendment also introduces additional disclosures to provide in the notes to the financial
statements. The Company adopted this amendment starting 1 July 2013. Its adoption did not result in effects on
the Company’s financial statements.
93
On 16 December 2011, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 32 - Financial Instruments: Presentation, which
clarify the application of some criteria for offsetting financial assets and liabilities set out in IAS 32. The Company
adopted this amendment starting 1 July 2013. Its adoption did not result in effects on the Company’s financial
statements.
On 17 May 2012, the IASB issued a group of amendments to the IFRSs (“Improvement to IFRS’s – 2009-2011”)
which will be retrospectively applicable starting from 1 January 2013. The ones applicable to the company are listed
below, those which only resulted in changes in terminology with minimal reporting effects have been left out:
• IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements: this amendment clarifies requirements for presenting comparative
information in the case where an enterprise changes accounting standards, carries out retrospective re-exposure
or a reclassification, or provides financial disclosure in addition to that requested by the standard;
• IAS 16 – Property, plant and equipment: this amendment clarifies that servicing equipment shall be capitalised
only if it meets the definition of Property, Plant and Equipment, otherwise it must be classified as Inventory.
• IAS 32 – Financial instruments: Presentation: this amendment eliminates an inconsistency between IAS 12 –
Income Taxes and IAS 32 concerning the recognition of taxes arising from the distribution of equity instruments
to holders that must be recognised in profit or loss to the extent to which the distribution refers to income
generated from operations originally recognised in profit or loss;
• IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting: this amendment clarifies that disclosure of all assets and liabilities for a
given segment must be provided if:
a) a measurement of total assets or total liabilities, or both, is regularly provided at the highest operational
decision-making level, and
b) a material change in these measurements has taken place in relation to the measurements provided in the
last Annual Financial Report for the segment.
The Company adopted these amendments retrospectively from 1 July 2013. These did not have any effects on
the Company’s financial statements.
Accounting standard and amendments not yet applicable and not adopted in advance by Juventus
On 20 December 2013 the European Union adopted the amendment to IAS 36 “Impairment of assets - Recoverable
amount disclosures for non-financial assets” which governs disclosures to provide on the recoverable amount of
assets which have undergone impairment, if this amount is based on the fair value less costs of disposal. The
changes must be applied retroactively starting from financial years beginning 1 January 2014.
On 20 December 2013 the European Union adopted the amendment to IAS 39 “Financial instruments: Recognition
and measurement – Novation of derivatives and continuation of hedge accounting”. The changes regard the
introduction of some exemptions to the hedge accounting requirements defined by IAS 39 in circumstances
where an existing derivative must be replaced with a new derivative which has by law or regulation directly (or
even indirectly) a central counterparty (CCP). The changes must be applied retroactively starting from financial
years beginning 1 January 2014.
On 12 December 2013, the IASB issued a group of amendments to the IFRSs (“Improvement to IFRS’s 2010-2012
cycle” - “Improvement to IFRS’s 2011-2013 cycle”) which will be retrospectively applicable for annual periods
starting on or after 1 July 2015; The ones applicable to the company are listed below, those which only resulted
in changes in terminology with minimal reporting effects have been left out:
• IFRS 2 Share Based Payments - changes have been made to the definitions of “vesting condition” and “market
condition” and the definitions “performance condition” and “service condition” (previously included in the
“vesting condition” definition) have been added;
• IFRS 3 Business Combination - The changes clarify that a contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability
must be measured at fair value on each reporting date, regardless of whether the contingent consideration is a
financial instrument where IFRS 9 or IAS 39 apply to a non-financial asset or liability. The changes in fair value
(different than period measurement adjustments) need to be reported in the income statement. In addition the
changes are aimed at clarifying the exclusion of all types of joint arrangements from the application framework
of IFRS 3.
• IFRS 8 Operating segments - The modifications require entities to disclose judgements made by management
in applying the aggregation criteria to operating segments, including a description of aggregated operating
segments and economic indicators considered in determining if such operating segments have “similar
economic characteristics”. In addition, it clarifies that an entity shall only provide reconciliations of the total of
the reportable segments’ assets to the entity’s assets if the segment assets are reported regularly to the chief
• IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement - The Basis for Conclusions have been changed to clarify that with the
issue of IFRS 13, and subsequent amendments to IAS 39 and IFRS 9, the possibility of reporting short-term
trade receivables and payables remains possible without recognising discounting effects, if such effects are
immaterial. In addition IFRS 13:52 (portfolio exception), in its current wording, limits the possibility of fair
value measurement based on net value only to financial assets and liabilities within the scope of IAS 39.
The change clarifies that the possibility of fair value measurement based on their net value also refers to
contracts within the scope of IAS 39 (or IFRS 9) but which do not meet the definition of financial asset or
liability in IAS 32, such as contracts to buy and sell commodities which can be settled in cash for their net
value.
95
• IAS 16 Property, plant and equipment and IAS 38 Intangible Assets - Le modifiche hanno eliminato le incoerenze
nella rilevazione dei fondi ammortamento quando un’attività materiale o intangibile è oggetto di rivalutazione.
I nuovi requisiti chiariscono che il gross carrying amount sia adeguato in misura consistente con la rivalutazione
del carrying amount dell’attività e che il fondo ammortamento risulti pari alla differenza tra il gross carrying
amount e il carrying amount al netto delle perdite di valore contabilizzate.
• IAS 24 Related Parties Disclosures – Key management personnel - The provisions applicable to the identification
of related parties were clarified and the disclosures to provide when the key management activities are supplied
by a management entity (and not by natural persons). In this case the management entity is considered a
related party and must be separately disclosed in terms of the supply of management entity services; for
the disclosure requirements for key management services, it is not necessary to indicate the remuneration
components paid to the management entity.
In May 2014 the IASB issued several amendments to IFRS 11 – Joint Arrangements: Recognition of acquisition of
an interest in a joint operation, providing clarifications on the accounting recognition of acquisitions of interest
in joint arrangements which constitute a business. The amendments are retrospectively applicable for annual
periods starting as of 1 January 2016. They may be applied in advance.
In May 2014, the IASB issued an amendment to IAS 16 – Property, plant and equipment and to IAS 38 - Intangible
assets. The IASB clarified that the use of methods based on revenues to calculate the depreciation of an asset
is not appropriate, as the revenues generated by an activity that includes the use of an asset generally reflects
factors other than the consumption of the asset’s expected economic benefits. The IASB also clarified that it is
assumed that revenues generally are not a suitable basis for measuring the consumption of economic benefits
generated by property, plant and equipment. Nonetheless, this assumption may be overcome in specific, limited
circumstances. These amendments are effective for annual periods starting as of 1 July 2016. They may be applied
in advance.
In May 2014, the IASB issued IFRS 15 - Revenue from contracts with customers, which requires that revenues be
recognised to represent the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount which reflects the expected
consideration in exchange for said products or services. To achieve this purpose, the new revenue recognition
model defines a five-step process, and requires significant use of estimates and judgements as compared to that
required by the current IFRS in force. This is especially true for several processes such as the identification of the
various obligations in the contract, the estimate of the variable consideration to be included in the transaction
price and the allocation of the transaction price, separately, to the various obligations identified. Furthermore,
this new standard applies to certain repurchase contracts, depending on whether the customer obtains the
control of the asset covered by the contract. The new standard also requires additional disclosures on the nature,
amount, timing and uncertainty of the revenues and the cash flows arising from a contract with a customer.
The new standard must be applied for annual periods starting as of 1 July 2017, using one of the two methods:
retroactively, with separate reporting for each period presented, or retroactively with the cumulative effect deriving
from the first-time application of the standard, recognised at the date of first-time application. Early adoption of
the standard is permitted.
In August 2014 the IASB published the amendment to IAS 28, which allows measurement of investments in
subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures to be made, for the purpose of the separate financial statements, also
using the equity method.

(a) The disposal transaction, which took place on 20 July 2013 for a price of € 3,750 thousand (wholly payable in the 2013/2014 financial year)
led to the need to adjust the remaining book value of the right to the disposal price, with a consequent write-down of € 3,226 thousand
recognised in the 2012/2013 financial year. The payment to Juventus could increase by a maximum of € 500 thousand, if Galatasaray
achieves certain sports goals in the coming football seasons, of which € 500 thousand already matured following the qualification of
Galatasaray in the UEFA Champions League 2013/2014 round of sixteen and the qualification of Galatasaray in the UEFA Champions
League 2014-2015.
(b) The gain was temporarily suspended pending the definition of the player-sharing agreement.
The balance of players’ registration rights, totalling € 119,899 thousand, includes capitalisation of compensation
to FIFA agents, related to services provided for the Transfer Campaigns, for an outstanding amount of € 7,593
thousand (€ 8,499 thousand capitalised during the year). The breakdown is shown below.

For additional details on players’ registration rights see the table required by FIGC regulations attached to these
notes.
At 30 June 2014, the value of the Juventus Library was equal to € 29,850 thousand. This amount is significantly
lower than the current value of expected cash flows from commercial contracts that have been signed or are at an
advanced stage of negotiations, most of which have a term ending 30 June 2018, net of auxiliary costs expected
to be incurred as a consequence of the contracts and terminal value of the Juventus Library (discounted cash
flow method). To discount expected cash flows, the Company uses the weighted average cost of capital (WACC),
net of the tax effect, annually updated based on the composition of financing sources and market interest rates.
Given the criteria used, it is believed that the Juventus Library value is recoverable by economically exploiting its
rights. A WACC of 5% was used, calculated considering an average medium-term borrowing cost of 5.5%, a free
risk rate of 3.5%, a risk premium of 5.5% and a beta of 0.91.
The Company conducted sensitivity analysis of the estimated recoverable value considering the WACC as the
core parameter in estimating fair value. This analysis showed that a 100 basis point increase in the discount rate
would not cause an excess book value of the Juventus Library in relation to its recoverable value, which is always
significantly higher.
In relation to the Juventus Library, the Company had also stipulated some commercial contracts in the past against
which it has already received advances for € 9,814 thousand, recognised under “Received advances”.
“Other intangible assets” mainly refer to trademarks, software and the photography archive.
• the Vinovo Training Centre (Juventus Training Centre), currently the property of UniCredit Leasing S.p.A. and
the object of a finance lease. The related payable to the leasing company is reported under “Loans and other
financial payables”;
• the new Juventus Stadium, which opened on 8 September 2011;
• the Juventus Museum, which opened on 16 May 2012.
Changes in the item are shown in the table below:

The increase in the value of buildings refers to the new stand at Juventus Stadium called Legends Club which

11. Other tangible assets
The breakdown and changes in this item are shown in the table below:
The increase in the value of other tangible assets arises from investments made in the period, mainly for general
plant and furniture and common office machines.
The investment regarding the land adjacent to the training centre in Vinovo (JTC) refers to the advance paid to
Campi di Vinovo S.p.A. following the signing of the preliminary sales agreement for the land on 14 April 2014
(for more information, refer to significant events of 2013/2014 in the Report on Operations).
The costs relating to the Juventus Training Center regard the expansion of J College, which was completed in
April 2014, as well as the investments under way for the larger project to reorganise the training centre, which
will continue after the First Team is moved to the new training centre which will be built in the Continassa area.
Based on the forecasts by the management, no problems are expected in recovering deferred tax assets.
Furthermore, they amount to € 38 thousand less than deferred tax liabilities. Deferred tax assets allocated to
tax losses carried forward account for 80% of the amount of deferred tax liabilities allocated for the temporary
difference in value for Juventus Library tax purposes. These taxes may annul each other if statutory and fiscal
values are realigned following disposal or impairment of the asset.
These total € 97,765 thousand and show an increase of € 33,982 thousand compared to the balance of
€ 63,783 thousand at 30 June 2013 as a result of new receivables arising from the Transfer Campaigns and
107
The balance at 30 June 2014 is composed as follows based on due dates and counterparties:
Current Non-current Balance at
Amounts in thousands of euro share share 30/06/2014
Receivables due from football clubs for transfer campaigns 68,042 29,723 97,765
The receivables due from Campi di Vinovo S.p.A. and Finanziaria Gilardi S.p.A., respectively equal to € 4,872
thousand and € 7,407 thousand, refer to the sale and transfer of the Campi di Vinovo S.p.A. (“CdV”) shareholding
and the branch of business related to the “Mondo Juve – Parco Commerciale” project to be built on the land of
Campi di Vinovo S.p.A. to Finanziaria Gilardi S.p.A. (originally Costruzioni Generali Gilardi S.p.A.).
Therefore, in February 2014 Juventus, based on the above arguments and against payment by Finanziaria Gilardi
S.p.A. of € 2,000 thousand on 31 December 2013, granted the counterparties deferral of payment of the total
remaining receivable of € 14,379 thousand according to the following due dates: € 2,000 thousand by 30
September 2014, € 4,000 thousand by 31 December 2015 and € 8,379 thousand by 31 July 2016.
Following a preliminary agreement for the purchase of some land adjacent to the training centre, signed on 14
April 2014 (for details, see Note 12) these due dates were changed once again, as follows: € 2,100 thousand by
30 April 2014 (already received), € 2,000 thousand by 30 September 2014, € 8,700 thousand by 31 December
2014 and € 1,579 thousand by 31 July 2016. The first three payment due dates were aligned with the outlays for
the purchase of the land by Juventus and the collection of the remaining receivable of € 1,579 million is secured
by a guarantee from a leading bank. Therefore, the pledge on the Campi di Vinovo S.p.A. was extinguished.
109
The discounted receivable due from Istituto per il Credito Sportivo refers to an interest rate subsidy granted by
the same Institute, in accordance with current laws, related to a loan for the construction of the new stadium.
Prepaid expenses mainly refer to insurance premiums of € 814 thousand (of which € 369 thousand non-current),
prepaid interest on the Training Centre lease of € 164 thousand (of which € 82 thousand non-current) and
commissions on guarantees.
The increase in trade receivables not yet due mainly refers to revenues from sponsorships as a result of sporting
results achieved. Trade receivables due from less than 60 days refer to receivables falling due in June and collected
almost in full during July and August.
To optimise financial management, expand the level of loans and keep borrowing costs down, the Company sells
part of its contracts and future trade receivables to factoring companies.
The provisions set aside to the allowance for doubtful accounts in the period amounted to V 386 thousand, with
use of € 430 thousand.
Shareholders’ equity at 30 June 2014 amounted to € 42,627 thousand, down compared to the balance of
€ 48,631 thousand at 30 June 2013 due to the effect of the loss for the year (€ -6,674 thousand), net of changes
in cash flow hedge reserves (€ +179 thousand) and actuarial gains/losses reserves (€ +564 thousand), as well as
other minor changes (€ -73 thousand).

distribution of reserves is illustrated below:

* The “Share premium reserve” was re-established following the share capital increase in January 2012, and during the 2012/2013 and
2013/2014 financial years was adjusted for deferred taxes relating to the costs of the share capital increase recorded directly in Shareholders’
equity (for a total of € 73 thousand per year). For further details, see the Statement of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity.
The Long Term Incentive Plan is part of long-term employee benefits pursuant to IAS 19, section 126. Measurement
of relative liabilities (€ 5,895 thousand) represents the current value of the defined benefits obligation at 30 June
2014 (€ 4,277 at 30 June 2013).
Provisions set aside during the period amounted to € 2,181 thousand, (€ 2,111 thousand at 30 June 2013).
Actuarial gains for the 2013/2014 financial year on said Plan, amounting to € 564 thousand (compared to a
loss of € 122 thousand at 30 June 2013), were immediately recorded and recognised in the shareholders’ equity
reserve “Statement of Other Comprehensive Income (OCI)”.

Bonds and other financial liabilities at 30 June 2014 mainly concern loans granted by the Istituto per il Credito
Sportivo for construction of the Juventus Stadium, the balances in bank accounts, payables due to factoring
companies for advances on contracts and trade receivables, as well as the payable due to UniCredit Leasing S.p.A.
for the finance lease of the Training Centre in Vinovo. On 26 May 2014 an addendum was signed for € 1,342
thousand to finance the expansion works of the classrooms of J College and the construction of the refectory (for
details, see Note 50). Payables due to factoring companies at 30 June 2014 mainly refer to advance transactions
on business contracts and are therefore equivalent to short-term bank loans.
As regards loans taken out for construction of the Juventus Stadium, real estate acquired under the long-term
lease was mortgaged to the lender for a maximum value of € 120 million.

Medium-long term financial liabilities due to the Istituto per il Credito Sportivo and UniCredit Leasing S.p.A. are
not exposed to interest rate risk since they are respectively at a fixed rate or hedged by derivative instruments
(see Note 23).
In compliance with IAS 39, the positive change in fair value reported at 30 June 2014 (€ +179 thousand) was
recognised as an increase in the shareholders’ equity reserve (cash flow hedge reserve). This reserve (€ -452
thousand at 30 June 2014) will be released when the interest payable on the loans, representing expected cash
These total € 103,826 thousand and show an increase of € 5,380 thousand compared to the balance of
€ 98,446 thousand at 30 June 2013 as a result of new payables arising from the Transfer Campaigns and
payments made in the period.

* Use in the period refers only to the amount of deferred tax liabilities used for the purpose of regional production tax (IRAP).
Deferred tax liabilities refer mainly to temporary differences in the value of the Juventus Library due to the tax
depreciation of the asset.
As regards the gains realised in the 2013/2014 financial year from the sale of the registration rights of players held
for at least one year, the Company reserves the right to recalculate the amount of profit to be deferred and the
period of deferment when filing its income tax return (March 2015).
Payables to employees and similar mainly refer to the remuneration for June 2014 and the variable bonuses
accrued by players and technical staff as a result of the Championship victor and the individual performances
achieved. These amounts were paid in July 2014 as envisaged by contract.
Tax payables totalling € 11,619 thousand, primarily regard payables due for withholding taxes to pay (€ 6,452
thousand), VAT resulting from the payment for June 2014 (€ 3,909 thousand) and for IRAP (€ 1,201 thousand).
Also note that on 15 January 2013, the Regional Tax Authorities - Major Taxpayer Office sent a questionnaire
115
requesting accounting documents for the tax treatment of IRES, IRAP, VAT and withholdings of invoices for
services “provided by sports agents and/or companies they represent in favour of professional athletes employed
by the sports company” for the period from 1 July 2008 to 31 December 2012. This request regarded the players
Grygera, Marchionni, Trezeguet, Cardoso Tiago Mendes, Sissoko, Salihamidzic and Buffon in reference to the
tax audit which resulted in the Audit Report of 23 July 2009 and already the subject matter of a settlement in
accordance with article 5, paragraph 1-bis of the Legislative Decree 218/1997 up to the tax period closed on 30
June 2008 for IRES and IRAP and the 2008 calendar year for withholding tax and VAT. The proceedings concluded
with a total outlay for Juventus of € 222,209.48, including sanctions and interest, of which € 56,700.19 was still
recorded under tax payables at 30 June 2014, as it was paid on 25 July 2014.
Uses of the Provision for other risks and charges, amounting to € 143 thousand, mainly referred to fines relating
to sports events, as well as other expenses.
• higher ticket sales revenues for UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League home matches (€ +1,732
thousand);
• higher revenues for additional match services (€ +932 thousand);
• higher income for friendly matches (€ +907 thousand);
• higher ticket sales revenues for Championship home matches (€ +696 thousand);
• revenues from the J/Real Madrid Legends match (€ +352 thousand);
• higher revenues from season passes (€ +325 thousand);
• higher revenues for Italian Cup away matches (€ +207 thousand);
• revenues from other services (€ +40 thousand);
these were partially offset by lower revenues from Italian Cup matches (€ -1,049 thousand) and lower revenues
from the Italian Super Cup (€ -1,197 thousand).
The following table compares the number of matches played in various competitions during 2013/2014 and in
the previous year:
Championship 19 19 38 19 19 38
UEFA matches 7 7 14 5 5 10
Italian Super Cup - 1 1 - 1 1
Italian Cup 1 1 2 3 1 4
Total 27 28 55 27 26 53
Revenues from media rights for the year increased by € 2,679 thousand compared to the previous period, mainly
due to higher revenues from the distribution of audiovisual rights of the Championship for the 2013/2014 season.
Revenues from UEFA competitions (€ 50,123 thousand) deriving from participation in the Group Stage of the UEFA
Champions League 2013/2014 and, subsequently, the direct elimination rounds of the UEFA Europa League.
117
The negative change of € 15,192 thousand compared to the previous year was mainly due to the different number of
Italian teams participating in the UEFA Champions League (3 instead of 2) in the football season in question, as well
as the fact that the team reached the quarter finals in that competition in the 2012/2013 football season.

34. Other revenues
This item totals € 27,091 thousand, showing an increase of € 8,814 thousand compared to € 18,277 thousand
at 30 June 2013. The breakdown is shown below:

Contingent assets include additional bonuses distributed on conclusion by UEFA for participating in the UEFA
Champions League 2012/2013.
This item increased by € 18,877 thousand, mainly due to fees paid to players acquired during the 2013/2014
Transfer Campaign and renewed contracts of some players (€ +14,259 thousand), higher variable bonuses paid
to players (€ +3,450 thousand), higher remuneration paid to players on temporary transfer (€ +2,401 thousand),
partially offset by lower fees for leaving incentives paid to players permanently disposed of (€ -1,028 thousand)
and lower other expenses (€ -714 thousand).

Auxiliary expenses for players’ registration rights that are not capitalised are mainly related to fees paid to FIFA
agents for services concerning the acquisition or the disposal of players’ registration rights and the renewal of
players’ rights, if fees are tied to conditions requiring that players remain registered with the Company.
Expenses for the temporary purchase of players’ registration rights mainly refer to:
• Cevallos Enriquez Jose Francisco (Club Liga Deportiva de Quito) € 119 thousand;
• Soumah Alhassane (Santarcangelo Calcio S.r.l.) € 100 thousand;
• Macek Roman (Fastav Zlin) € 70 thousand;
• Melani Andrea (A.C. Prato S.p.A.) € 70 thousand;
• Favero Mattia (A.C. Prato S.p.A.) € 50 thousand.

41. Amortisation and write-downs of players’ registration rights
Details are as follows:
2013/2014 2012/2013 Change
Amounts in thousands of euro financial year financial year
Amortisation and write-downs of players’ registration rights decreased by € 569 thousand compared to the
previous period, mainly due to lower write-downs of players’ registration rights (€ -3,163 thousand), which was
offset by higher amortisation relative to investments made during Transfer Campaigns (€ +2,594 thousand).
They mainly refer to depreciation of the Vinovo Training Centre, the Juventus Stadium, Juventus Museum and
other tangible assets, and amortisation of intangible assets.
The allocation to the provision for other risks and charges of € 1,263 thousand refers mainly to the provision
for bad debts (€ 386 thousand) and the estimate of charges to incur for ongoing risks and disputes (€ 877
thousand).
Interest expenses increased by € 1,464 thousand primarily due to a greater use of bank credit facilities.

In order to render the tax reconciliation table easier to understand, IRAP (business tax) has been excluded, as it
does not take income before taxes as it basis for taxation, and would therefore distort any comparison between
one year and the next. Accordingly, the theoretical tax burden was calculated by applying the IRES tax rate
(27.5%) to income before taxes.
The total value of deductible temporary differences and tax losses at 30 June 2014, and amounts for which
deferred tax assets were not recorded for IRES and IRAP purposes, are shown in the table below, broken down
by year of maturity:

June 2014
At 30 June 2014, net financial debt totalled € 206,031 thousand, with an increase of € 45,771 thousand compared
to the negative balance of € 160,260 thousand at 30 June 2013. That increase was driven by Transfer Campaign
payments (net € -46,079 thousand, net), advances paid to the City of Turin and various suppliers in relation to the
Continassa Project (€ -5,519 thousand), investments in other fixed assets (€ -6,760 thousand) and cash flow from
financing activities (€ -7,551 thousand), partially offset by positive cash flow from operations (€ +20,138 thousand).
At 30 June 2014, this item did not include any payable or receivable positions with respect to related parties, except
for the balances of current accounts held at Banca del Piemonte S.p.A. (see Note 53).
The change in cash and cash equivalents is recorded in the Statement of cash flows.
At 30 June 2014 the Company had revocable lines of credit for € 309,750 thousand, used for a total of € 186,318
127
thousand, of which € 35,835 thousand for guarantees issued in favour of third parties, € 106,265 thousand for
overdrafts and € 44,218 thousand for advances on contracts and trade receivables (for additional information see
Note 51).
Costs incurred in 2013/2014 total € 41 thousand and regard the following auditing services:
• statutory auditing of the financial statements, including partial auditing of the half-yearly report (€ 31 thousand);
• financial auditing of accounting statements for the calendar year, prepared for the purposes of EXOR
consolidation (€ 2 thousand);
• review of accounting procedures and the correct recording of operations in accounts (€ 4 thousand);

At 30 June 2014, a finance lease was in effect with Unicredit Leasing S.p.A. concerning the Juventus Training
Centre in Vinovo (JTC). During the 2013-2014 financial year, an addendum was signed for € 1,342 thousand to
finance the expansion works of the classrooms of J College and the construction of the refectory.
The residual financial debt amounts to € 12,983 thousand and is divided as follows:
The contractual interest rate applicable is Euribor 3 months + spread of 1.2%. The acquisition of a hedging
instrument, described in Note 23, has fixed the interest rate applicable at 3.86% for the remaining term of the
lease.

Pledges of shares
The item, present at 30 June 2013, referred to the pledge of the shareholder certificate no. 37 of Campi di
Vinovo S.p.A. as a guarantee of the receivables due by Campi di Vinovo S.p.A. and Finanziaria Gilardi S.p.A.
That guarantee was extinguished following the signing of the agreement to purchase some land adjacent to the
training centre in Vinovo on 14 April 2014 (for more information refer to the significant events of 2013/2014 in
the Report on Operations).

As concerns variable compensation to players, the possible future financial effects were not given in detail in

financial statement readers.
With reference to the criminal proceedings pending before the Court of Naples against the former director and
general manager Luciano Moggi, the Company, following the order issued on 20 October 2009, was deemed
liable and civil claimants had the right to make claims for compensation for damages.
On 8 November 2011 the Court of Naples sentenced Luciano Moggi to 5 years and 4 months and rejected the
claims for damages against Juventus and confirming the complete lack of any liability for the Company. This
ruling was held up on appeals on 17 December 2013.
With reference to the abbreviated procedure requested by some defendants, on 14 December 2009, the Court
of Naples sentenced in the first instance the former Chief Executive Officer of the Company Antonio Giraudo for
sporting fraud and criminal association. The sentence was partially changed by the Court of Appeals of Naples
Former Chief Executive Officer Antonio Giraudo has appealed against this sentence at the Court of Cassation,
however a date for the relative hearing has not yet been set. If the ruling concerning the alleged harm of the
conduct of the former Chief Executive Officer were to become final, the Company would be exposed to the risk
of any direct action for compensation. At present, negative effects on or potential risks for the Company cannot
be estimated.
In terms of the dispute with the Agenzia delle Entrate, regarding the refusal to refund the VAT receivable of
€ 1.4 million in relation to the UEFA tournaments played in the 2000/2001 football season, a date still needs to
be set for a hearing before the Supreme Court of Cassation, which should make a ruling on the appeal against
the second instance ruling in favour of Juventus.
On 11 August 2011 at the National Sports Arbitration Court (“TNAS”) at the Italian Olympic Games Committee
the Company filed a request for arbitration against the Italian Football Federation and F.C. Internazionale to
repeal the decision made by the Italian Football Federation on 18 July 2011 in relation to the complaint submitted
by Juventus on 10 May 2010.
At the hearing on 9 September 2011 the President of TNAS declared its competence in sports matters and
referred the parties to the Regional Administrative Court for damages. A hearing was held on 4 November 2011
to discuss the competence, upon which TNAS reserves the right to make the final decision. Subsequently TNAS
declared its incompetence with arbitration which was duly challenged by the Company, for the purposes of a
null judgement, with appeal submitted to the Appeal Court of Rome, served on the FIGC and Football Club
Internazionale Milan S.p.A. on 10 February 2012.
The Company has also submitted an appeal, served on 15 November 2011, to the competent Regional
Administration Court for Lazio asking for a sentence of unjust damages resulting from the illegal exercise of
administration activity and failure to exercise obligatory activity in relation to the following administrative acts:
• failure of the Federal Council to adopt an express non-judicial revocation of the FIGC Extraordinary Commission
act on 26 July 2006 assigning the Italian Championship to Football Club Internazionale Milano for the
2005/2006 championship;
• provision of the FIGC Extraordinary Commission on 26 July 2006 assigning the Italian Championship to Football
Club Internazionale Milano for the 2005/2006 championship.
131
Mutu/Chelsea FC proceeding
On 7 October 2013 the Company was served the ruling of FIFA’s Dispute Resolution Chamber, following the
hearing of 25 April 2013 which cited Juventus as jointly liable, with player Adrian Mutu, for the payment to
Chelsea FC plc for damages resulting from dismissal of the player for severe breach of contract, amounting to €
17 million plus any interest.
This decision was based on previous proceedings resulting from the dismissal of Mutu in 2005 by Chelsea
following drug use by the player. These events had only involved Chelsea and Mutu, since Juventus had not in
any way contributed to the player’s breach with Chelsea which led to the termination of his employment contract.
On 29 October the Company submitted an appeal to the FIFA ruling before the Tribunal Arbitral du Sport (TAS),
which suspended the enforcement of the ruling. The hearing set by the Arbitration Board will be held on 1
October 2014.
The Company believes it has valid arguments supporting its position to obtain cancellation of the ruling and,
therefore Juventus has not made any allocation to the provision for risks and charges. If an unfavourable ruling
is handed down by TAS, it will still be possible to submit an appeal to the Federal Supreme Court of Switzerland.
In terms of the 2013-2014 financial year, it should be noted that transactions between Juventus Football Club S.p.A.
and related parties identified according to IAS 24 were performed at arm’s length, i.e. at market-equivalent conditions
as usually practised with non-related parties for transactions of the same type, amount and risk, and in compliance
with current laws.
