In a time when streaming giants like Netflix are losing subscribers (Netflix announced a decrease in subscribers for the first time in a decade), Disney reported 8 million new subscribers to Disney+. That said, rising production and program costs for Disney+ and high sports programming costs at ESPN have contributed to the company’s losses.

The Verge reports that during an earnings call, the company lowered its subscriber forecast for 2024, expecting anywhere from 215 million to 245 million subscribers instead of its previous 230 to 260 million. However, CFO Christine McCarthy stated that the company does expect to achieve profitability in fiscal 2024.
