Quick Glance: Netflix to Cease Reporting Subscriber Numbers from 2025
- Netflix will no longer report subscriber numbers starting from the first quarter of 2025. The announcement came with the first quarter 2024 results where Netflix exceeded expectations.
- Despite the success in the first quarter, Netflix shares dropped over 4.5% after-hours upon revealing the decision to stop reporting quarterly subscriber totals.
- The choice to discontinue reporting quarterly membership numbers or average revenue per member is based on Netflix's belief that engagement time is the best indicator of customer satisfaction.
- Netflix plans to announce major subscriber milestones but will halt reporting quarterly subscriber numbers and shift investor focus towards time-spent-viewing metrics.
