On Wednesday the club announced a $999,464 operating surplus and a statutory profit of $28,61. Total revenue grew 10 per cent on 2017 to $57.9m.<\/p>\n
\u201cOnce again our members stayed supremely loyal to the club,\u201d chairman David Koch said, \u201censuring we were once again able to sign up in excess of 60,000 true believers, who not only continue to support us with great passion at Adelaide Oval, but also followed us to Shanghai by the plane load and ensured we sold out the stadium in China.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOur existing corporate partners, in particular joint Major Partner OAK embraced our vision for growth and we welcomed some new and exciting companies to Port Adelaide such as Ausgold Mining, Cathay Pacific and Haneco Lighting, who have all joined on the back of our China expansion.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut no matter where we take the game or our club, we will always remain Port Adelaide, the club for our community. Our commitment to local issues has remained as strong as ever. In 2017, for example, we continued to grow the scope and reach of our market leading Aboriginal programs engaging 30% of the State\u2019s Year 12 Aboriginal graduates.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
We've announced an operating profit for the third consecutive year.
