The FIA records its strongest financial performance in a decade, posting a €6.7 million operating profit for 2025. That represents a 43% year-on-year increase and consolidates its post-2021 recovery.
Operating revenue rises to €191.7 million, up 75% since 2021. Profitability returned in 2024, and the 2025 result confirms a durable turnaround rather than a one-off rebound.
Operating profit reaches €6.7 million in 2025 after a €24 million loss in 2021.
This momentum reflects reforms under president Mohammed Ben Sulayem, now four years into his tenure. The focus has been commercial discipline, tighter cost control, and clearer financial governance.
An extended deal with Formula E delivers a €20 million exceptional gain, providing a clear uplift. Stronger contributions from WRC and WEC diversify income beyond Formula 1 exposure.
€20 million exceptional gain comes from the long-term Formula E extension.
The FIA’s commercial department, created in 2023, secures partnerships with DHL, Rolex, Hankook, AlphaTauri, Siemens, and Tomorrow.io. More than €20 million is reinvested in officials, and Safe Mobility initiatives.
Credibility also depends on regulatory clarity. Recent technical clarifications and ongoing F1 rule changes reinforce confidence among teams, promoters, and partners.
Headcount grows 14% to 308, supported by a new London office for expanded reach. The Concorde Agreement formalises F1’s governance framework, while debate around presidential term limits underscores the push for stable oversight.
Grassroots development remains a priority. The first Karting Arrive and Drive World Cup in Malaysia attracts over 100 drivers from 50 countries, with a record female participation share.
Karting World Cup in Malaysia records the highest female participation in FIA karting history.
Mobility programs advance through data-led initiatives. The Smart Driving Challenge applies AI to improve safety and reaches nearly 100 countries, aligning with scrutiny on conditions like the Austrian GP heat.
The FIA reports no debt and a balance sheet with 73% held in cash or equivalents. That liquidity underpins resilience and supports targeted investment without compromising day-to-day operations.
Balance sheet remains conservative: 73% cash or equivalents and no reported debt.
Ben Sulayem commits to sustainable growth in his second term, targeting value for member clubs, championships, and employees. The key test is maintaining discipline as calendar, costs, and regulations evolve.
