Guidance and outlook
Forward-looking statements, 10-Q filed Oct 21, 2026
- Our core strategy is to grow our business globally within the parameters of our operating margin target.
- We aim to offer a range of streaming plans, including our ad-supported subscription, to meet a variety of consumer needs.
- We expect that from time to time the prices of our streaming plans in each country may change and we may test other plan and price variations.
- We expect to continue to significantly invest in global content, particularly in original content, which will impact our liquidity.
- We anticipate that we may periodically raise additional debt capital.
- Stock repurchases may be effected through open market repurchases in compliance with Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act, including through the use of trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, privately-negotiated transactions, accelerated stock repurchase plans, block purchases, or other similar purchase techniques and in such amounts as management deems appropriate.
- However, these unknown obligations are expected to be significant and we believe could include approximately $1 billion to $4 billion over the next three years, with the payments for the vast majority of such amounts expected to occur after the next twelve months.
- Once we know the title that we will receive and the license fees, we include the amount in the contractual obligations table above.
- The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and the Company’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and operating results require the Company’s management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported.
