The Walt Disney Co. faced a mixed bag of results in its second quarter, swinging to a loss due to restructuring and impairment charges, but seeing its streaming business turn a profit. The company’s adjusted profit exceeded expectations, and its theme parks continued to perform well, leading to an optimistic outlook for the year ahead.
Despite a loss in the second quarter, Disney’s streaming business showed promising signs of profitability. The direct-to-consumer business, which includes Disney+ and Hulu, posted a quarterly operating income of $47 million, a significant improvement from a loss of $587 million the previous year. The combined streaming businesses, including Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+, also saw a reduction in operating loss and an increase in revenue.
CEO Bob Iger expressed confidence in the company’s growth initiatives, highlighting the positive results they have yielded. Disney plans to further enhance its streaming offerings by adding an ESPN tab to Disney+ and cracking down on password sharing to improve profitability.
While Disney’s streaming business thrived, its cable segment experienced a decline in revenue. The company is adapting to post-pandemic travel trends at its theme parks, with domestic and overseas locations reporting revenue increases despite higher costs.
Investors may have been expecting more from Disney’s quarterly report, but the company’s focus on turning its streaming division profitable has been well-received. With a full-year adjusted earnings per share growth target of 25%, Disney is aiming for continued success in the streaming market and beyond.
