'Avengers: Endgame' helps Disney (DIS, $133.76) post an estimate beating second quarter results
Walt Disney posted an estimate-beating second quarter with earnings per share of $1.61 versus an estimated $1.58, and sales of $14.92 billion versus an estimated $14.34 billion.
Since Disney’s acquisition of Twenty-First Century Fox, this is the first quarter documenting the contributions of Fox with a reported business total of $373 million and operating income of $25 million.
The success is all the more conspicuous with the record-breaking achievement of ‘Avengers: Endgame,’ which will start streaming when Disney launches its own streaming service, Disney+, later this year.
Disney’s acquisition of Fox also includes a 30% stake in the streaming service Hulu, for a total interest of 60%. Disney said it recorded a one-time gain of $4.9 billion as a result of re-measuring its initial 30% stake to fair value.
Other key highlights of the quarter include a 15% increase in direct-to-consumer and international segment revenue to $955 million, but the quarter also saw its segment operating loss jump from $188 million to $393 million. The latter was due to Disney’s ongoing investment in ESPN+, launching expenses of Disney+ coupled with loss from the consolidation of Hulu and higher losses from streaming technology services.
According to Disney's chairman and CEO, Robert Iger, the company is thrilled with the record-breaking success of ‘Avengers: Endgame’ and the film will be streamed exclusively on Disney+ starting December 11th.
