Braves’ financial results improve, thanks to schedule variation

Braves owner Liberty Media said Friday the team’s financial performance improved in the second quarter this year, principally as a result of having nine more home games in the April-through-June period than last year.

The Braves generated revenue of $131 million in the quarter, an increase of $28 million from the same period last year, Liberty disclosed. The team made an operating profit of $12 million in the quarter before depreciation and amortization, up $7 million from the second quarter last year.

The gains “were primarily due to an increase in overall ticket sales and broadcast revenue as a result of having … 44 home games in 2016 versus 35 home games during the same period in 2015,” Liberty reported in its quarterly earnings release.
