Discovery Earnings, Revenue Grow Despite U.S. Ratings, Subscriber Drops

The company, which last year closed its $14.6 billionNetworks Interactive, reported earnings of $262 million, or 35 cents per share, or adjusted earnings per share of 87 cents. The result compared with a year-ago profit of $117 million, or 16 cents a share, or adjusted earnings of 79 cents per share.

Third-quarter revenue rose 3 percent to $2.68 billion and was driven by an increase in the U.S., including a gain of 3 percent in U.S. advertising revenue. Distribution revenue in the U.S. rose 6 percent. International advertising revenue jumped 10 percent and distribution revenue increased 8 percent, excluding foreign-exchange impacts.

In the U.S., growth in advertising was "primarily driven by increases in pricing and to a lesser extent, the continued monetization of digital content offerings and inventory, and partially offset by lower overall ratings and the impact of audience declines on the linear networks.

Discovery said its total portfolio subscribers for September were 4 percent lower than in September 2018, while subscribers to its fully distributed networks were down 1 percent.
