WBD 10-Q Quarterly Reports

Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. (WBD) reported a net loss of $143 million, or $0.06 per share, for the third quarter of 2025, a significant shift from the $141 million net income reported in the same period last year. For the first nine months of 2025, WBD reported a net income of $996 million, a substantial improvement from the $10.84 billion net loss in the prior year, largely driven by a significant gain on extinguishment of debt. Total revenues for the quarter decreased by 6% to $9.045 billion, impacted by declines in advertising and distribution revenues, though content revenue saw a slight decrease. The company is actively evaluating strategic alternatives, including the previously announced separation into two companies, which adds a layer of uncertainty regarding its future structure. Despite the quarterly net loss, the company's operating income improved significantly to $611 million from $281 million in the prior year's quarter. The Studios segment showed strong revenue growth of 24%, driven by theatrical releases, while the Global Linear Networks segment saw a significant revenue decline of 22%, reflecting ongoing industry shifts. The Streaming segment revenue remained flat year-over-year. Management's focus on strategic review and potential separation introduces complexity, but the company continues to manage its operational performance, with notable debt management activities including a substantial gain from debt extinguishment.

Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. (WBD) reported a significant turnaround in its financial performance for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, moving from substantial net losses in the prior year to net income available to WBD shareholders of $1.58 billion and $1.13 billion, respectively. This shift was largely driven by a substantial gain on extinguishment of debt totaling approximately $3.0 billion during the quarter, stemming from tender offers that retired $17.7 billion in aggregate principal amount of senior notes. Total revenues remained relatively flat year-over-year for the quarter but decreased by 4% for the six-month period, impacted by declines in advertising and other revenue segments, though partially offset by growth in distribution and content revenues. The company is actively managing its debt obligations, evidenced by significant debt repayments and the refinancing of its bridge loan facility, while preparing for a planned separation into two publicly traded companies expected by mid-2026. Operationally, the Global Linear Networks segment saw a notable decline in Adjusted EBITDA, down 24% and 20% for the quarter and six months, respectively, due to decreased distribution and advertising revenues, a trend that is expected to continue. Conversely, the Streaming segment demonstrated strong growth, with a 22% increase in total subscribers and an 8-9% rise in distribution revenue, though advertising revenue also saw increases driven by ad-lite subscribers. The Studios segment showed robust performance with a 55% revenue increase in the quarter, driven by strong theatrical and television product performance. Investors should closely monitor the execution of the separation plan, ongoing debt management, and the continued performance trends across the distinct segments.

Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. (WBD) reported a net loss of $453 million for the first quarter of 2025, a significant improvement from the $966 million net loss in the prior year period.

The company's streaming segment showed robust growth, with subscribers increasing by 23% year-over-year to 112.3 million, and Adjusted EBITDA more than tripling to $339 million. Conversely, the Global Linear Networks segment experienced a 7% revenue decline and a 15% drop in Adjusted EBITDA, reflecting ongoing pressures in traditional media.

Total revenues for the quarter declined by 4% year-over-year to $9.62 billion, and by 6% for the nine-month period to $29.29 billion. This decline was primarily driven by reduced advertising and content revenues, although distribution revenue showed slight resilience. The company reported an operating income of $281 million for the quarter, a significant improvement from $97 million in the prior year, but a substantial operating loss of $10.19 billion for the nine-month period, largely influenced by a $9.1 billion goodwill impairment charge recognized in the second quarter. Net income available to Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. shareholders was $135 million for the quarter, a turnaround from a net loss of $417 million in the prior year.

Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. (WBD) reported a net loss of $9.99 billion for the second quarter of 2024, significantly impacted by a $9.1 billion non-cash goodwill impairment charge related to its Networks reporting unit. This charge, driven by factors including continued softness in the U.S. linear advertising market and uncertainty around sports rights renewals, overshadowed otherwise steady revenue performance. Total revenues for the quarter were $9.71 billion, a 6% decrease year-over-year, with declines observed across Distribution, Advertising, and Content segments, partially offset by growth in Other revenue. The company continues to manage its debt, completing a tender offer for $3.399 billion in senior notes during the quarter and recording a gain on extinguishment. Operating cash flow improved year-over-year to $1.81 billion for the first six months of 2024, providing liquidity. Despite the significant impairment, WBD is focused on its streaming services, evidenced by increased advertising revenue in the DTC segment due to Max's performance and ad-lite tier growth. However, the company faces ongoing challenges in its linear businesses, with declining subscribers and advertising revenue, and the material event of the NBA not renewing its license agreement, leading to a legal dispute.

Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. (WBD) reported a net loss of $966 million for the first quarter of 2024, a slight improvement from the $1,069 million loss in the same period last year, with diluted EPS of $(0.40). Total revenues declined by 7% to $9,958 million, impacted by decreased advertising and content revenues.

Key strategic initiatives include continued focus on content optimization and cost synergies.

While total costs and expenses significantly decreased by 18% to $9.88 billion, largely due to a substantial reduction in restructuring and other charges, the company still posted an operating loss of $97 million for the quarter, albeit a significant improvement from the $2.19 billion operating loss in Q3 2022. Net loss available to common stockholders narrowed to $417 million ($0.17 per share) from $2.31 billion ($0.95 per share) in the year-ago period. The company's DTC segment showed promising signs with a 5% revenue increase to $2.44 billion and a significant improvement in Adjusted EBITDA, which moved from a loss of $634 million to a profit of $111 million, largely driven by more efficient marketing spend and content cost management. The ongoing strikes by the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) have impacted production schedules and content delivery, though management noted a positive impact on cash flow from delayed production spending. The company continues to focus on cost synergies and operational efficiency as it navigates the evolving media landscape.

The company continues to navigate the challenging media landscape, with the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes posing potential future disruptions.

Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. (WBD) reported a net loss of $1.06 billion for the first quarter of 2023, a significant shift from the $475 million net income in the prior year period. This decline is largely attributable to increased costs, including content amortization and interest expense, stemming from the integration of the WarnerMedia business. Total revenues saw a substantial increase to $10.7 billion from $3.16 billion in Q1 2022, primarily driven by the inclusion of WarnerMedia's revenue streams, though pro forma combined revenues show a slight decrease.

Despite the net loss, Adjusted EBITDA showed robust growth, increasing to $2.61 billion from $1.03 billion in the prior year, indicating operational improvements in segment performance, particularly in Networks and Studios. Management is focused on cost synergies and integration efforts, with a significant portion of the estimated $4.1-$5.3 billion in pre-tax restructuring charges already incurred.

Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. (WBD) reported a significant net loss of $2.31 billion for the third quarter of 2022, a stark contrast to a net income of $156 million in the prior year period.

Total revenues surged to $9.82 billion from $3.15 billion year-over-year, reflecting the inclusion of WarnerMedia's operations. Despite the net loss, the company's pro forma combined revenue shows resilience, with Advertising and Content segments experiencing growth in specific sub-segments.

The period ending March 31, 2022, reflects the standalone Discovery, Inc. operations prior to the merger's full integration. Total revenues for the quarter increased to $3.16 billion, up from $2.79 billion in the prior year, driven by growth in both advertising and distribution revenues. Net income available to common stockholders was $456 million, a substantial increase from $140 million in the prior year, with diluted EPS at $0.69 compared to $0.21. Despite the positive top-line and bottom-line growth as a standalone entity, investors should note that these results are not directly comparable to future periods due to the transformative merger.

Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. (WBD) reported its third-quarter 2021 financial results, showing an increase in total revenues to $3.15 billion, up from $2.56 billion in the prior year's comparable period. This growth was driven by strong performance in both Advertising and Distribution revenues across its U.S. and International Networks segments. The launch and expansion of its direct-to-consumer (DTC) product, discovery+, played a significant role in bolstering distribution revenue. Despite revenue growth, operating income saw a decline to $329 million from $531 million year-over-year. This was primarily due to a substantial increase in costs of revenue and selling, general, and administrative expenses, reflecting investments in content and marketing, particularly to support the discovery+ launch and the broadcasting of the Olympics. The company also highlighted its pending merger with WarnerMedia, which is progressing with expected closure in mid-2022, and outlined the significant financial and operational considerations related to this transformative transaction.

Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. (WBD), previously operating as Discovery, Inc. for this filing, reported solid financial performance for the period ending June 30, 2021. Total revenues increased by 21% year-over-year to $3.06 billion for the quarter, driven by a significant 29% jump in advertising revenue and a 12% increase in distribution revenue. This growth was primarily fueled by a recovery in advertising markets post-COVID-19 and the successful launch and expansion of its direct-to-consumer (DTC) product, discovery+. The company saw net income available to Discovery, Inc. rise substantially to $672 million from $271 million in the prior year's quarter, reflecting strong operational execution and a favorable tax benefit.

Discovery, Inc. (WBD) reported its first quarter 2021 results, showing a mixed financial performance. Total revenues increased by 4% year-over-year to $2.79 billion, driven by a 7% rise in Distribution revenue, which benefited from the launch of the discovery+ streaming service and increased affiliate rates. Advertising revenue saw a modest 1% increase, though it declined 1% excluding foreign currency impacts, reflecting varied performance across segments. However, the company experienced a significant 53% drop in Net Income to $191 million ($0.21 per diluted share), and Net Income available to Discovery, Inc. fell by 63% to $140 million ($0.21 per diluted share) compared to the prior year quarter. The surge in Selling, General, and Administrative expenses (up 63% year-over-year) was a primary driver of the decline in profitability, largely due to increased marketing costs associated with the discovery+ launch. The company is actively investing in its direct-to-consumer (DTC) offering, discovery+, which is seeing early traction with growing subscriber numbers and international rollout. Despite the near-term profit dip, the strategic shift towards DTC suggests a long-term focus on subscriber growth and evolving media consumption habits.

Discovery, Inc. (WBD) reported a slight year-over-year decline in total revenues for the first quarter of 2020, down 1% to $2.68 billion.

Key financial highlights include a substantial increase in operating income to $2.30 billion, up from $1.22 billion in the prior year. The company also managed its debt effectively, reducing its total debt outstanding. While the company incurred a goodwill impairment charge of $155 million related to its Asia-Pacific reporting unit, this did not impact its financial covenants.

This improvement was largely driven by the successful integration and performance of the acquired Scripps Networks, which contributed significantly to revenue growth. Total revenues increased by 17% to $2.7 billion. The company saw robust growth in its U.S. Networks segment, with revenues up 49% to $1.8 billion, and International Networks revenue slightly decreased by 13% to $952 million, though on a pro forma, constant currency basis, both segments showed growth.

Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. (WBD) reported its quarterly results for the period ending September 30, 2018. The company's financial performance was significantly impacted by the acquisition of Scripps Networks Interactive, Inc. (Scripps Networks) which closed on March 6, 2018. This acquisition led to a substantial increase in both revenues and expenses, particularly in depreciation and amortization, as well as restructuring and integration costs. Despite a notable increase in total revenues to $2.59 billion for the quarter and $7.74 billion for the nine months, the company experienced a decrease in net income available to Discovery, Inc. stockholders, falling to $117 million for the quarter and $325 million for the nine months, compared to $218 million and $807 million in the prior year, respectively. This decline in profitability was largely due to higher interest expenses, restructuring charges, and increased operating costs stemming from the Scripps acquisition.

Discovery, Inc.) filed its 10-Q for the period ending June 29, 2018, reporting a significant increase in total assets to $33.5 billion from $22.6 billion at the end of the previous year. This growth is primarily driven by the transformative acquisition of Scripps Networks Interactive, Inc. for approximately $12 billion, completed in March 2018. This strategic move has substantially expanded Discovery's brand portfolio and content library, aiming for significant cost synergies and enhanced market competitiveness. Financially, the company saw a notable increase in revenues, with total revenues reaching $2.85 billion for the quarter, a 63% increase year-over-year, largely attributed to the inclusion of Scripps Networks' operations. However, this revenue growth was accompanied by a significant increase in costs and expenses, including higher interest expense from debt taken on to finance the acquisition and increased depreciation and amortization due to acquired assets. The company's net income available to Discovery, Inc. stockholders decreased to $216 million from $374 million in the prior year's comparable quarter, reflecting the substantial costs associated with the acquisition and integration.

Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. (WBD), filed as Discovery, Inc. for this period, reported a net income of $3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. This represents a significant decrease from the $221 million net income reported in the same period of the prior year. The primary driver for this substantial decline was the significant increase in costs and expenses, notably driven by the recent acquisition of Scripps Networks Interactive, Inc. This acquisition, completed in early March 2018, led to a considerable increase in goodwill and intangible assets on the balance sheet, alongside substantial transaction and integration costs impacting the income statement. The company's total revenues saw a healthy increase of 43% to $2,307 million, largely propelled by the inclusion of Scripps Networks' revenues. Distribution and advertising revenues both showed strong year-over-year growth. However, this revenue growth was outpaced by a 87% increase in total costs and expenses, which surged to $2,103 million, primarily due to content rights expenses, restructuring charges, and the depreciation and amortization associated with the acquired assets.

Despite revenue growth, net income available to Discovery Communications, Inc. stockholders decreased to $807 million from $890 million in the comparable period of 2016, reflecting increased interest expenses and other costs associated with the pending Scripps acquisition. The company announced its agreement to acquire Scripps Networks Interactive for an estimated $11.5 billion in a cash-and-stock transaction, expected to close in early 2018. This strategic move signals a significant expansion of WBD's media portfolio.

The company saw a decrease in net income available to Discovery Communications, Inc. stockholders, falling 8% to $374 million for the quarter, attributed to higher costs, particularly in content spending, and a loss on debt extinguishment.

Discovery Communications, Inc. reported its first-quarter 2017 financial results, showing a slight increase in total revenues to $1.613 billion, up 3% year-over-year.

Advertising revenue remained flat overall, but saw a modest increase of 2% on a constant currency basis, supported by pricing adjustments and recovery from a distributor blackout in the prior year. Profitability, however, saw a notable decline, with net income falling 18% to $221 million. This was significantly impacted by a $54 million loss on debt extinguishment and increased losses from equity investments, particularly in renewable energy projects.

Despite the slight dip in operating income, net income available to Discovery Communications, Inc. stockholders showed a positive trend, increasing by 9% to $890 million. This was driven by a lower effective income tax rate and a decrease in "Other expense, net," partly due to the resolution of uncertain tax positions.
