Small income surplus for the Lakers, budget increased

An income surplus of CHF 8,035.- was generated by the SC Rapperswil-Jona Lakers' parent company, the Lakers Sport AG, throughout the past season.  In light of a challenging season, the General Assembly was satisfied with the financial year, the annual account was approved.

Thanks to being able to repay the last bit of their Covid-loan, there are no longer any obligations to the Confederation.

Income and spending were slightly higher than planned. The spending side was mainly caused by higher personnel expenses due to injury-related reinforcements, plus increased travel costs resulting from reaching the Champions Hockey League quarter-finals.

The new budget accounts for an increase in earnings to 14.2 million francs, as well as an increase in expenses to 14.7 million francs.
