The group reported a revenue increase of 2% to US$ 8.1 billion, fueled by growth in its DTC segment.
Paramount Skydance announced its financial results for the last quarter of 2025, reporting revenue increase of 2% to US$ 8.1 billion.
The group stated the growth was fueled mainly by its DTC segment, which saw revenue grow 10% to US$ 2.1 billion.
Moreover, Paramount+ has grown its subscriber base to reach 79 million paid subs worldwide.
On the down side, the group saw losses in revenue for Pluto TV (-16%) and its TV media segment (-5%), due to declines in advertising and affiliate businesses.
The results come in the week of Paramount’s revised offer to buy WBD in an attempt to beat Netflix to the end result.
Paramount Skydance CEO, David Ellison said “WBD’s Board of Directors has determined that Paramount’s revised US$31 per share, all-cash offer to acquire WBD could reasonably be expected to lead to a “Company Superior Proposal” under the terms of WBD’s merger agreement with Netflix”, and that “Paramount welcomes the WBD Board’s determination and looks forward to continuing to engage constructively with WBD to deliver the benefits of Paramount’s proposal to WBD shareholders, the creative community and consumers”.
In its new offer, Paramount increased the purchase price to US$31.00 per WBD share in cash for 100% of the company, and increased the regulatory termination fee to US$7 billion in the event the transaction does not close due to regulatory matters; while it also reaffirmed it will pay the US$2.8 billion termination fee which WBD would be required to pay to Netflix to terminate its existing Netflix merger agreement.
