Paramount's Q4 2022 earnings report revealed a mixed performance. While the company saw revenue growth and a significant increase in Paramount+ subscribers, operating income decreased substantially due to increased costs and expenses. The company's multiplatform strategy showed success, but investments in content and international expansion impacted adjusted OIBDA.
Paramount+ added a record 9.9M subscribers in Q4, reaching nearly 56M subscribers.
Global Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) subscribers rose to more than 77M.
TV Media adjusted OIBDA grew 5% year-over-year despite macro headwinds.
Paramount Pictures had six films open at #1 in the U.S. box office in 2022.
Paramount expects to return to earnings growth in 2024, driven by its content and platform strategy.
