Disney announced that in his quarterly financial reports in the footsteps of Netflix, it will no longer report on the number of subscribers for his streaming services. The decision is made after a quarter in which 2.6 million new subscribers from Disney Plus and Hulu were reported and a total of 183 million were brought.
The decision was announced in Quarterly winning commentary By Disney CEO Bob Iger and CFO Hugh Johnston. The couple said that paid subscribers “are less meaningful for the evaluation of the performance of our business” and that non -reporting “does not correspond to changes in the media landscape”.
It reflects a similar change that Netflix announced in April last April. At that time, the company described the subscribers as “only one component” of its growth and pointed out “new” revenue flows, including the ad-supported plan and the paid approval.
Disney is not yet finished to announce subscribers. The report of the number of membership and the average income per user for ESPN Plus will be hired with the results of the next quarter, the fourth quarter of 2025 of the financial year, and three months later. From then on, it will focus on reporting general profitability for streaming instead.
For the quarter, which ended until June 2025, Disney recorded an increase in streaming sales a year compared to the previous year and a profit of $ 346 million. Disney Plus and Hulu Combined now have 183 million subscribers, 128 million of them for Disney Plus. ESPN Plus has 24.1 million subscribers without growth in the past three months. It will soon be accompanied by a new “unlimited” ESPN streaming service, which also includes access to the linear channels of the network.
