Warner Bros. Discovery is a global media and entertainment company that provides content across television, film, streaming, and gaming. The company's core business model revolves around producing and distributing content, generating revenue through advertising, distribution fees, and direct-to-consumer subscriptions. With a vast portfolio of brands and franchises, WBD operates in numerous markets and has a significant geographic presence.
Total revenue decreased from $9.958 billion to $8.979 billion, a 10% decline. This was primarily driven by a 27% decrease in content revenue and an 8% decrease in advertising revenue. Distribution revenue also saw a slight decrease of 2%.
Net loss improved from $(955) million to $(449) million year-over-year. This improvement is attributed to decreases in costs of revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses, and depreciation and amortization. However, the company remains unprofitable.
Operating loss improved from $(267) million to $(37) million. This improvement is largely due to cost-cutting measures, but the continued operating loss signals ongoing challenges in achieving profitability.
