Details
Netflix announced impressive results for the third quarter of 2024, which exceeded analysts' expectations. The company predicts that its revenues in 2025 will grow to $43-44 billion, up 11-13% from the expected $38.9 billion in 2024.
According to the company, the main growth drivers will be an increase in paid membership and average revenue per member. In addition, Netflix plans to achieve an operating margin of 28% in 2025, which is higher than the projected 27% in 2024.
In the third quarter, Netflix recorded free cash flow of $2.2 billion, an improvement from $1.9 billion last year. For the full year 2024, the company expects free cash flow in the range of $6.0-6.5 billion.
Netflix also announced plans not to regularly report on the number of subscribers, believing that other metrics, such as engagement and profitability, better reflect the overall health of the business.
During the third quarter, the company repurchased 2.6 million shares for $1.7 billion and raised $1.8 billion in its first investment-grade bond transaction. This demonstrates Netflix's confidence in its future development and willingness to invest in growth.
