Walt Disney exceeded Wall Street's earnings expectations Wednesday as higher attendance at its Shanghai and Hong Kong theme parks offset a decline in advertising revenue at television network ABC.

The company reported per-share earnings, excluding certain items, of 82 cents in its fiscal fourth quarter ended Sept. 30, topping an average forecast of 70 cents a share, according to LSEG data. Quarterly revenue of $21.2 billion was largely in line with consensus estimates.

Disney now says it is on track to achieve $7.5 billion in annualized savings, as it aggressively manages costs. Disney's newly named Experiences group, which includes its theme parks and resorts, and cruise lines and consumer products, reported nearly $1.8 billion in operating income in the quarter, up 31% from a year ago. Higher attendance at Shanghai Disney, Hong Kong Disneyland and Disneyland resorts, and growth of the cruise businesses, helped offset lower results at Walt Disney World in Florida.
