Total revenues increased by 7% year-over-year to $23.6 billion, primarily driven by an 8% increase in service revenues. This growth was partially offset by the Star India transaction and unfavorable foreign exchange impacts, but was driven by higher subscription revenue and growth at parks and experiences.
Net income attributable to Disney increased significantly to $3.3 billion compared to a loss of $20 million in the prior-year quarter. This improvement is primarily due to the comparison against prior-year goodwill impairments and a non-cash tax benefit, indicating a one-time boost rather than sustainable operational gains.
Total costs and expenses increased by 5% year-over-year, driven by higher programming and production costs, and increased marketing costs. This increase in expenses partially offset the revenue growth, impacting overall profitability.
