Warner Bros. Discovery Shares Drop Following Q2 Earnings Report
Warner Bros. Discovery Shares Drop Following Q2 Earnings Report
Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. (NASDAQ:WBD) shares are trading lower after the company released its second-quarter financial results. Here's what you need to know.
Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. (納斯達克：WBD)股票在公司發佈第二季度業績後下跌，以下是需要了解的內容。
What To Know: The company reported revenue of $9.713 billion for the quarter, missing the analyst consensus estimate of $10.071 billion by 3.55%. The company reported an EPS loss of $4.07 per share, a significant miss compared to the analyst estimate of a 19 cents loss per share.
需要了解的內容：本季度公司營收爲97.13億美元，較分析師預期的100.71億美元低3.55％。每股收益虧損4.07美元，與分析師預期的每股虧損19美分相比，差距顯著。
Revenue from the Networks segment, which includes traditional TV channels, dropped 8% to $5.272 billion. Advertising revenue within this segment declined by 9%, primarily due to a 13% decrease in U.S. network audiences and a generally soft advertising market. On a brighter note, content revenue saw a 5% increase, driven by the timing of third-party licensing deals, though this was partially offset by reduced inter-segment content licensing to the company's Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) platforms.
網絡業務營收下降8％至52.72億美元，包括傳統電視頻道。該業務中的廣告收入下降9％，主要由於美國網絡觀衆下降13％和廣告市場普遍疲軟。好消息是，內容收入增長了5％，因爲第三方授權交易的時機，儘管這一增長部分被公司向直接消費者（DTC）平台減少的內部內容許可所抵消。
What Else: Despite adding 3.6 million new global subscribers in the quarter, bringing the total DTC subscriber count to 103.3 million, DTC revenues fell 5% year-over-year to $2.568 billion. The growth in international subscribers, spurred by the launch of the Max streaming service in Latin America and Europe, was not enough to offset declines in the U.S. market.
還有：本季度雖然新增了360萬全球訂閱用戶，使DTC訂閱用戶總數達到10330萬，但DTC收入同比下降5％至25.68億美元。國際訂閱用戶的增長受到了LatAm和歐洲流媒體服務Max的推出的刺激，但這並不足以抵消美國市場的下滑。
