Paramount posts another quarter of streaming profit, but linear TV and studio struggles pressure revenue
Paramount Global (PARA) reported third quarter earnings before the bell on Friday that showed further strength in streaming as it gets ready to combine with Skydance Media.
The media giant posted its second quarter of profit in a row for the segment, meaning profitability has improved by $1 billion over the past year.
But Q3 revenue missed expectations as the company booked continued declines in its linear TV business and pullbacks in its studios segment.
The financial update comes as the entertainment giant focuses on cleaning up its balance sheet ahead of its merger with Skydance Media, which is expected to close in the first half of 2025.
Shares moved more than 1% higher in premarket trading immediately following the results.
Revenue came in at $6.73 billion, missing Bloomberg consensus expectations of $6.95 billion and was a 6% drop compared to the $7.13 billion seen in Q3 2023
Paramount reported adjusted earnings per share of $0.49, versus $0.30 in the year-earlier period. Consensus expectations were for earnings to come in closer to $0.23 a share.
Streaming was a bright spot in the quarter. Paramount reported operating income for its direct-to-consumer (DTC) segment of $49 million, a $287 million improvement from the prior-year period.
Analysts had expected a loss for this segment of $161.5 million after the company reported operating income of $26 million in the second quarter, following a loss of $286 million in the first quarter.
For the nine months ending Sept. 30, the streaming division was still operating at a loss of $211 million. But the company has maintained previous guidance that it remains on track to reach domestic profitability for Paramount+ in 2025.
The streamer currently boasts 72 million total subscribers after gaining 3.5 million net additions in the third quarter. The gains are mostly due to the return of NFL and college football, in addition to original series like “Tulsa King” and post-theatrical releases like “A Quiet Place: Day One” and “If.”
Analysts had expected subscriber gains of 2.4 million, compared to the 2.7 million net additions the company reported a year ago.
Outside of subscriber strength, Paramount saw an 18% year-over-year jump in streaming advertising revenue.
On the flip side, linear advertising revenue once again declined though it did improve on a sequential basis. The segment dropped 2% year over year, compared to the 11% drop in Q2. Consensus estimates had pegged the segment revenue to fall 5%.
Linear profits also fell 19%, continuing their plunge amid greater cord-cutting trends that have slowed carriage-free growth and pressured distribution rates.
Spot Bitcoin ETF recorded a new all-time high of over $1.37 billion in net inflows a day after Trump’s victory.
