Netflix Q1 2024 Earnings Beat, Subscribers Jump 16%, To Change Reporting Style

Netflix is changing the way it reports its numbers, announcing that it will no longer report quarterly membership figures or average revenue per user starting next year. This revelation came alongside the company’s latest earnings report, which surpassed expectations on both top and bottom lines. To be clear, they will keep reporting earnings figures because they have an obligation as a public company but subscriber numbers won’t be coming out so frequently again. 

While total memberships surged by 16% in the first quarter, reaching 269.6 million, well above Wall Street’s projections, investors will soon bid farewell to these regular insights into the streaming giant’s subscriber base.

“In our early days, membership growth was a strong indicator of our future potential,” Netflix explained in its quarterly shareholder letter. “However, now that we are generating substantial profit and free cash flow, our focus has shifted to revenue and operating margin, with engagement serving as our best proxy for customer satisfaction.”

With new revenue streams like advertising and a crackdown on password sharing in the pipeline, Netflix emphasizes that membership numbers have lost significance in measuring growth, especially with the introduction of multiple price points for subscriptions.

Although the company will no longer disclose quarterly sub counts, it assures investors that it will still announce “major subscriber milestones as we cross them.”

Netflix also anticipates a dip in paid net additions for the second quarter, attributing it to seasonal trends. Despite falling just shy of Wall Street’s revenue forecast for Q2, the company reported impressive first-quarter results, including earnings per share of $5.28 and revenue of $9.37 billion.

As Netflix transitions from prioritizing subscriber growth to profit, it’s exploring various strategies, including price hikes and an ad-supported tier, to boost revenue. Additionally, the streaming giant is venturing into video games and live programming, recently partnering with TKO Group Holdings to bring WWE content to the platform.

Co-CEO Ted Sarandos expressed excitement about expanding Netflix’s content offerings to include live events like sports, highlighting the company’s ambition to capture cultural moments and engage members in new ways.

Despite challenges and uncertainties, Netflix’s stock has been on an upward trajectory, reflecting investors’ confidence in the company’s long-term vision and growth potential. As Netflix continues to evolve and diversify its content portfolio, all eyes will be on how these strategic shifts shape its future performance and market position.
