Walt Disney Co. Chief Executive Bob Iger returned to the earnings stage Wednesday and delivered a big beat, largely thanks to improving financial results at Disney’s theme parks, but Disney+ subscribers declined more than expected.
“After a solid first quarter, we are embarking on a significant transformation, one that will maximize the potential of our world-class creative teams and our unparalleled brands and franchises,” Iger, who returned as CEO in November to replace Bob Chapek, said in a statement announcing the results.
Disney+ ended the quarter with 161.8 million subscribers, a decline from three months ago, when the streaming service had 164.2 million subscribers. Analysts expected the subscriber count to decline after Disney increased costs for ad-free streaming while adding an ad-supported option, but not that much — the average analyst estimate called for 162.68 million subscribers, according to FactSet.
