Disney+ hits 95 million subscribers as earnings beat expectations

Walt Disney Co. said Thursday its marquee streaming service Disney+ grew to nearly 95 million subscribers during the first quarter of its fiscal year, while the pandemic continued to weigh on the entertainment giant’s finances.

Net income fell 99% to $29 million during the three months that ended Jan. 2. In the previous first quarter, Disney had a profit of $2.13 billion. The company’s earnings of 32 cents a share, excluding certain items, were much better than the loss of 34 cents Wall Street analysts expected, according to data firm FactSet. Quarterly revenue fell 22% to $16.2 billion, but that also topped analyst expectations of $15.9 billion.

Disney+ numbers were boosted by high-profile releases, including the second season of “The Mandalorian” and the Pixar film “Soul,” which hit the service on Christmas. The service also recently put out the quirky Marvel series “WandaVision” to strong reviews and is set to follow up later this year with “Falcon and the Winter Soldier.” About 30% of Disney+'s global subscriber base comes through its Hotstar offering in India and Indonesia.
