Paramount stock is down 14 percent in pre-market trading after quarterly results miss Wall Street expectations, company cuts dividend.

Paramount’s advertising-supported streamer Pluto TV grew its monthly active users to 80 million as of March 31 from 78.5 million as of the end of the fourth quarter. The company didn’t immediately detail its total global streaming subscriber count, which had stood at more than 77 million as of the end of December.

However, higher streaming investments were again a drag on the entertainment company’s bottom line, as the quarterly adjusted operating loss before depreciation and amortization in its streaming unit widened to $511 million, compared with $456 million in the first quarter of 2022. The company cited “higher costs to support growth of Paramount+” as the key driver.

Paramount, led by CEO Bob Bakish, also took impairment charges of $1.67 billion in the first quarter, driven by its upcoming combination of Paramount+ with Showtime into a single U.S. streaming platform later this year. Earlier this year, it had said the integration would lead to a content impairment charge of between $1.3 billion and $1.5 billion in the first quarter, while forecasting $700 million in annual expense savings.
