Disney generates substantial quarterly earnings of €3.4 billion
Title: Booming Q2 Results for Disney as they rake in a whopping 3.4 Billion Euros
Disney's recent financial performance dropped a surprise bombshell with a staggering 3.4 billion dollar profit in Q2 of their fiscal year. This impressive figure nearly equates to a cool three billion euros.
On a hump day back in April, the entertainment giant gleefully announced their earnings, with revenue skyrocketing seven percent year-over-year to an impressive 23.6 billion dollars. Profit soared in comparison to the previous year, having dipped to just 216 million due to a write-off.
Disney+ catapulted its subscriber count by 1.4 million, ballooning its user base to a whopping 126 million paying customers. Analysts and media had anticipated a further decline in subscribers after the slight decrease in the previous quarter. Disney+ has been in the black since last summer, just five years after its captivating launch.
Streaming services Disney+ and Hulu together boast a colossal subscriber count of 180.7 million – an increase of 2.5 million from the previous quarter. The allure of engaging new content like the highly popular "Moana 2" and hit franchises such as the original "Moana" (with over 1.4 billion hours streamed) helped drive up subscriber retention and acquisition.
Disney's lucrative entertainment segment, which includes film studios and cable channels, raked in a revenue hike of nine percent, surging to nearly eleven billion dollars. Other key components of Disney's business empire encompass the sports streaming service ESPN+ and theme parks. In an unsurprising move, Disney announced ambitious plans to build another swanky Disneyland in Abu Dhabi – their seventh worldwide.
