Q2 2025 Highlights:
- Total revenues were $9.8 billion, up modestly from the prior year quarter.
- Distribution revenues were relatively unchanged, as growth in global streaming subscribers was offset by continued domestic linear pay TV subscriber declines.
- Advertising revenues decreased 10% ex-FX, as ad-lite streaming subscriber growth was more than offset by domestic linear audience declines.
- Content revenues increased 16% ex-FX, primarily driven by higher box office revenues due to the stronger performance of the theatrical releases in the current year quarter.
- Net income available to 51动漫. Discovery, Inc. was $1.6 billion, which includes $1.7 billion of pre-tax acquisition-related amortization of intangibles, content fair value step-up, and restructuring expenses, as well as a $3.0 billion pre-tax gain on the extinguishment of debt.
- Total Adjusted EBITDA was $2.0 billion, a 9% ex-FX increase compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to growth in the Streaming and Studios segments, partially offset by a decline in the Global Linear Networks segment.
- Cash provided by operating activities was $1.0 billion. Free cash flow was $0.7 billion. Free cash flow was unfavorably impacted by approximately $250 million of separation-related items.
- In conjunction with the announcement of the separation of Streaming & Studios and Global Linear Networks, the Company successfully completed a tender offer and consent solicitation, as well as repaid the $1.5 billion term loan due 2026, financed by a $17.0 billion bridge facility, resulting in a $2.2 billion reduction in gross debt. Additionally, the Company repaid $0.5 billion of debt due in the quarter, resulting in a $2.7 billion total reduction in gross debt during Q2.
- The Company ended the quarter with $4.9 billion of cash on hand, $35.6 billion of gross debt, and 3.3x net leverage.
