Disney's streaming business turns a profit in first financial report since challenge to Iger

Theme parks also continued to do well and the company boosted its outlook for the year.

“Looking at our company as a whole, it’s clear that the turnaround and growth initiatives we set in motion last year have continued to yield positive results,” Iger said in a prepared statement. While Disney has quality streaming content, Iger said that the company must now focus on building out its technology, similar to what rivals like Netflix have been doing. Those actions, including the password crackdown, are expected to improve profits.

But Disney acknowledged wrestling with higher costs at its theme parks during the quarter due to inflation. Restructuring and impairment charges surged to $2.05 billion from $152 million in the prior-year period.
