When will Netflix report its latest earnings?
Netflix is scheduled to report its first quarter (Q1) 2024 earnings after the market closes on Tuesday, 18 April 2024.
Subscriber surge shocks Wall Street
During its Q4 2023 earnings report, Netflix surprised investors by adding 13.1 million new subscribers, surpassing the 8.76 million additions it reported in Q3 and easily beating Wall Street’s expectations of 8 million to 9 million.
The company reported revenues of $8.83 billion during the quarter, up 12% year over year. Reported EPS of $2.11 was lower than the $2.22 expected, largely due to a $239 million non-cash unrealised loss from FX measurement on Euro-denominated debt.
A letter to shareholders
In a letter to shareholders, Netflix noted, “We believe there is plenty of room for growth ahead as streaming expands, and our north star remains the same: to thrill members with our entertainment. If we can continue to improve Netflix faster than the competition, we’ll have an increasingly valuable business – for consumers, creators and shareholders.”
Expectations for Q1 earnings
Netflix operates within a lucrative market, with potential revenue opportunities in pay TV, film, games, and branded advertising amounting to over $600 billion. Despite its success, Netflix currently captures only 5% of this vast market. Moreover, its share of TV viewing is “still less than 10% in every country,” highlighting the significant room for growth.
