Netflix is also going through growing pains, reporting sluggish first-quarter growth in subscribers by adding just 1.75 million customers versus an expected 2.4 million . In April, the company said it would generate lower profit in the current quarter and postponed its crackdown on password sharing that would have potentially added more subscribers. Zaslav acknowledged that the business environment for streaming services is “challenged, challenged, challenged”—a nod to the big budgets required to produce shows and attract subscribers. To save money, his company has cut production costs by shelving some shows. In the latest quarter, Warner Bros. Discovery added 1.6 million streaming subscribers across its platforms for a total of 97.6 million worldwide. While streaming has helped Warner Bros. Discovery grow over the past few months, it hasn’t been enough to make up for the losses in its legacy cable TV segment. Over the first three months of 2023, Warner Bros. Discovery piled up a net loss of $1.1 billion on $10.7 billion in revenue, a decline of 5% from the same period a year earlier. Its cable networks alone brought in $5.6 billion for the first quarter, down 12% from the same time in 2022. One of the biggest projects for Warner Bros. Discovery over the past year has been to combine the offerings on Discovery+ with content from HBO and Warner Bros’ existing offerings, and relaunch it as simply “Max ” later this month. The goal is to offer a bigger platform that would stand out amid an increasingly competitive streaming landscape and appeal to customers who are trying to cut spending amid high inflation. “We’re adding a lot of artillery here to the offering in order to get more viewers in the family engaged and excited about the amazing quality content that we have,” Zaslav said. He also emphasized the opportunity for international growth. “HBO Max and Discovery+ are still only available to “less than half of the global streaming market,” he said. “So there is a significant runway ahead of us and we are attacking this opportunity,” Zaslav said.
