Third Quarter Results

• Domestic Operations revenue increased 2% from the prior year to $495 million.
  • Subscription revenue decreased 2% to $308 million primarily due to a decline in affiliate revenue, partially offset by streaming revenue growth.
    • Streaming revenue increased 4% to $181 million primarily due to the impact of price increases across our services. Excluding revenue from ALLBLK in the current and prior third quarter periods, streaming revenue increased 7%.
    • Affiliate revenue declined 11% to $127 million primarily due to basic subscriber declines.
  • Advertising revenue decreased 7% to $102 million primarily due to lower marketplace pricing, partially offset by digital advertising growth.
  • Content licensing revenue increased 42% to $84 million primarily due to the timing and availability of deliveries in the period.
• Segment Adjusted Operating Income decreased 21% to $89 million. The decrease in segment Adjusted Operating Income was primarily driven by increased technical and operating expenses.

Third Quarter Results

• International revenue decreased 5% from the prior year to $73 million. Excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, International revenue decreased 4%.

Excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, subscription revenue decreased 3%.
  • Advertising revenue decreased 6% to $24 million primarily due to a decline in the U.K. advertising market, partially offset by digital advertising growth.
• Segment Adjusted Operating Income decreased 12% to $11 million. Segment adjusted operating income decreased primarily due to lower subscription and advertising revenues, partially offset by lower selling, general and administrative expenses.

Other Matters:

Legal Settlement

On September 4, 2026, the Company entered into a settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with Robert Kirkman, Robert Kirkman, LLC, Glen Mazzara, 44 Strong Productions, Inc., David Alpert, Circle of Confusion Productions, LLC, New Circle of Confusion Productions, Inc., Charles Eglee, United Bongo Drum, Inc.; Gale Anne Hurd, and Valhalla Entertainment, Inc. f/k/a Valhalla Motion Pictures, Inc. (together, the "Plaintiffs") resolving breach of contract claims. The complaint was initially filed in 2022 and a jury trial was scheduled to commence on October 27, 2026.

The Settlement Agreement provides for total consideration of $120 million (the “Settlement Payment”) to the Plaintiffs consisting of (i) a cash payment of $85 million, paid on September 16, 2026 and (ii) $35 million to be paid no later than January 31, 2027, which $35 million payment will be treated as an advance against Modified Adjusted Gross Receipts participation amounts that will accrue in the normal course on a go-forward basis to the Plaintiffs under contractual arrangements relating to the television series The Walking Dead and Fear the Walking Dead.

With regard to the Settlement Payment, the Company recorded a charge of $85 million during the three months ended September 30, 2026, included in Impairment and other charges, in consideration for the dismissal of the action with prejudice.

Sale of a Business

On August 26, 2026, the Company divested its ALLBLK streaming business in a cash sale transaction. The transaction resulted in a pre-tax gain of $3.7 million recorded in Impairment and other charges for the three months ended September 30, 2026. Subsequent to the divestiture, the Company entered into a long-term content licensing agreement with the buyer of the ALLBLK streaming business.

Restructuring and Other Related Charges

Third quarter restructuring and other related charges were $2.2 million and included $2.1 million related to the sale of ALLBLK and $0.1 million related to the Company's restructuring plan in its International segment.

Stock Repurchase Program

On May 8, 2026, the Company entered into an accelerated share repurchase ("ASR") agreement with Citibank, N.A. (“Citibank”) to repurchase $30 million of its outstanding Class A Common Stock as part of its existing Stock Repurchase Program. Under the ASR agreement, which concluded in October, the Company repurchased 2,817,888 shares of Class A Common Stock.

Please see the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2026, which will be filed later today, for further details regarding the above matters.

Description of Non-GAAP Measures

Internally, the Company uses Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) and Free Cash Flow measures as the most important indicators of its business performance and evaluates management’s effectiveness with specific reference to these indicators.

The Company defines Adjusted Operating Income (Loss), which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as operating income (loss) before share-based compensation expense or benefit (including equity-classified share-based compensation expenses or benefit and liability-classified share-based compensation expenses or benefit for non-employee director stock units), depreciation and amortization, impairment and other charges (including gains or losses on sales or dispositions of businesses), restructuring and other related charges, cloud computing amortization, and including the Company’s proportionate share of adjusted operating income (loss) from majority-owned equity method investees. From time to time, the Company may exclude the impact of certain events, gains, losses, or other charges (such as significant legal settlements) from Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) that affect the Company's operating performance. Because it is based upon operating income (loss), Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) also excludes interest expense (including cash interest expense) and other non-operating income and expense items. The Company believes that the exclusion of share-based compensation expenses or benefit (including equity-classified share-based compensation expenses or benefit and liability-classified share-based compensation expenses or benefit for non-employee director stock units) allows management and investors to better track the performance of the various operating units of the business without regard to the period-to-period effects of share-based compensation awards, including the changes in fair value of liability-classified share-based compensation awards to non-employee directors that will be cash settled. Beginning in June 2026, non-employee directors receive a portion of their compensation in director stock units that will be settled in cash. These liability-classified share-based compensation awards to non-employee directors are included in the share-based compensation adjustment to operating income (loss) to allow for comparability between periods without regard to the period-to-period effects of share-based compensation awards (including the changes in fair value of those awards from period to period). Liability-classified share-based compensation awards to employees are included in Adjusted Operating Income (Loss).

The Company believes that Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) is an appropriate measure for evaluating the operating performance of the business segments and the Company on a consolidated basis. Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) and similar measures with similar titles are common performance measures used by investors, analysts, and peers to compare performance in the industry.

Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) should be viewed as a supplement to and not a substitute for operating income (loss), net income (loss), and other measures of performance presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Since Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, this measure may not be comparable to similar measures with similar titles used by other companies. For a reconciliation of operating income (loss) to Adjusted Operating Income (Loss), please see page 10 of this release.

The Company defines Free Cash Flow, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures, all of which are reported in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The Company believes the most comparable GAAP financial measure of its liquidity is net cash provided by operating activities. The Company believes that Free Cash Flow is useful as an indicator of its overall liquidity, as the amount of Free Cash Flow generated in any period is representative of cash that is available for debt repayment, investment, and other discretionary and non-discretionary cash uses. The Company also believes that Free Cash Flow is one of several benchmarks used by analysts and investors who follow the industry for comparison of its liquidity with other companies in the industry, although the Company’s measure of Free Cash Flow may not be directly comparable to similar measures reported by other companies. For a reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities to Free Cash Flow, please see page 10 of this release.

The Company defines Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share (“Adjusted EPS”), which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as earnings per diluted share excluding the following items: amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets; impairment and other charges (including gains or losses on sales or dispositions of businesses); non-cash impairments of goodwill, intangible and fixed assets; restructuring and other related charges; and the impact associated with the modification of debt arrangements, including gains and losses related to the extinguishment of debt; as well as the impact of taxes on the aforementioned items and other one-time tax charges/benefits. The Company believes the most comparable GAAP financial measure is earnings per diluted share. The Company believes that Adjusted EPS is one of several benchmarks used by analysts and investors who follow the industry for comparison of its performance with other companies in the industry, although the Company’s measure of Adjusted EPS may not be directly comparable to similar measures reported by other companies. For a reconciliation of earnings per diluted share to Adjusted EPS, please see pages 11-12 of this release.
