Disney Releases Q2 Earnings As Streaming Subscribers Grow – $DIS $DIA

By John F. Heerdink, Jr.

As per reports, the Walt Disney Company (DID) reported stronger-than-expected growth in streaming subscribers across all of its media platforms, but raised concerns over the impact of Covid on its theme parks in Asia. Total Disney+ subscriptions increased to 137.7 million during the fiscal second quarter, higher than the 135 million analysts had forecast.

Earning Highlights:

  • Adjusted Earnings per share of $1.08 were reported.
  • Revenue of $19.25 billion was reported, including a $1 billion reduction resulting from the early termination of some licensing agreements.
  • Disney+ total subscriptions of 137.7 million were reported versus 135 million expected.
  •  Average revenue per user (ARPU) for domestic Disney+ subscribers was up 5% to $6.32.
  • Disney’s parks, experiences, and products segment witnessed revenues more than double to $6.7 billion during the quarter, compared to the prior-year period, fueled by increased attendance, hotel bookings, and cruise ship sailings, as well as higher ticket prices and higher, spend on food, beverage, and merchandise.
  • Disney said its domestic parks are beginning to see the return from international travelers, but not at pre-pandemic levels.
“Our strong results in the second quarter, including fantastic performance at our domestic parks and continued growth of our streaming services — with 7.9 million Disney+ subscribers added in the quarter and total subscriptions across all our DTC offerings exceeding 205 million once again proved that we are in a league of our own,” stated CEO Bob Chapek.
