How this balance works

Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.

It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.

Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

Key Terms

4 terms

constant currency revenue financial

"constant currency revenue is useful in analyzing period-to-period comparisons"

Revenue reported after removing the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates, so sales from overseas operations are measured using the same exchange rates as in a prior period. It matters to investors because it isolates a company's underlying sales performance from currency swings—like comparing two years using the same ruler—making it easier to see whether growth comes from business momentum or simply from favorable exchange-rate moves.

content obligations financial

"The expected timing of payments for these content obligations is as follows"

treasury-stock method financial

"calculated using the treasury-stock method"

master netting agreements financial

"enters into master netting agreements with its counterparties"

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements of Netflix, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (the “Company”) have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S.”) and are consistent in all material respects with those applied in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on January 23, 2026. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the amortization of content assets and the recognition and measurement of income tax assets and liabilities. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. On a regular basis, the Company evaluates the assumptions, judgments and estimates. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The interim financial information is unaudited, but reflects all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the information set forth herein. The interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year.

Stock Split

On November 14, 2025, the Company completed a ten-for-one forward stock split of the Company’s issued common stock (the “Stock Split”). Each shareholder as of the record date of November 10, 2025 received nine additional shares of common stock for every share held. References made to share or per share amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and applicable disclosures have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the Stock Split.

Significant Accounting Policies

The following is provided to update the Company’s significant accounting policies previously described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company uses derivative and non-derivative instruments to manage foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk related to its ongoing business operations.

Interest Rate Risk

Fair value hedges

The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements to manage its exposure to changes in the fair value of its fixed-rate debt attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate. These hedges may reduce, but do not entirely eliminate, the effect of interest rate movements, and the Company may choose not to hedge the full amount of its exposure. The Company designates these agreements as fair value hedges of specifically identified tranches of its fixed-rate debt. Changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap instruments are recognized in “Interest expense” on the Consolidated Statements of Operations, net with the offsetting changes in the fair value of the designated hedged debt attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate. Net periodic settlements between the Company and its swap counterparties are recognized as adjustments to “Interest expense” in the period in which they accrue. Cash flows from hedging activities are classified within “Net cash provided by operating activities” on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, consistent with the classification of interest payments on the hedged debt.

See Note 8 Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities to the consolidated financial statements for further information regarding the Company’s derivative and non-derivative financial instruments.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, requiring public entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements on an interim and annual basis. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2024-03.

Table of Contents

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10, Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities, which establishes authoritative guidance on the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of government grants. Under ASU 2025-10, government grants are recognized when it is probable that the entity will both comply with the conditions of the grant and the grant will be received. The ASU provides specific accounting models for grants related to assets and grants related to income, including options to recognize government grants as deferred income or as a reduction of the asset’s cost basis. The ASU also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature of government grants, significant terms and conditions, accounting policies applied, and amounts recognized in the financial statements. ASU 2025-10 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2028, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2025-10.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements, which clarifies the guidance in Topic 270 to improve the consistency of interim financial reporting. The ASU provides a comprehensive list of required interim disclosures and introduces a disclosure principle requiring entities to disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. ASU 2025-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2025-11.

2. Revenue Recognition

The following table summarizes revenues by region for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and September 30, 2025. Total revenues are inclusive of hedging losses of $(1) million and $(181) million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, and $(129) million and $(2) million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. See Note 8 Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities for further information.

Total Revenues			$	12,874,176					$	11,510,307					$	37,683,871					$	33,132,274

Deferred revenue consists primarily of prepaid subscription fees for streaming plans that have been billed and not yet recognized as revenue, as well as gift cards that have not been fully redeemed. As of September 30, 2026, total deferred revenue was $1,780 million, the vast majority of which was related to prepaid subscription fees billed that are expected to be recognized as revenue within the next month. Deferred revenue balances relating to gift cards will be recognized over the service period following redemption, which is expected to occur over the next 12 months. Deferred revenue increased $4 million from $1,776 million as of December 31, 2025 to $1,780 million as of September 30, 2026. Deferred revenue balances may fluctuate due to the number of paid memberships and the price of our streaming plans.

3. Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of outstanding shares of common stock during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of outstanding shares of common stock and, when dilutive, potential outstanding shares of common stock during the period. Potential outstanding shares of common stock are calculated using the treasury-stock method and consist of incremental shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of stock options and vesting of time-based and performance-based restricted stock units. The computation of earnings per share is as follows:

4. Cash, Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, and Short-term Investments

The Company classifies short-term investments, which consist of marketable securities with original maturities in excess of 90 days as available-for-sale (“AFS”). The Company does not buy and hold securities principally for the purpose of selling them in the near future. The Company’s policy is focused on the preservation of capital, liquidity and return. From time to time, the Company may sell certain securities but the objectives are generally not to generate profits on short-term differences in price.

The following tables summarize the Company’s cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

			As of September 30, 2026

(2) As of September 30, 2026, the Company designated a portion of its 4.900% Senior Notes, 5.250% Senior Notes, and 5.400% Senior Notes as the hedged items in fair value hedging relationships for interest rate risk, using interest rate swap agreements as the hedging instruments. Under these agreements, the Company pays a floating interest rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), effectively converting the fixed-rate debt to floating-rate debt. The floating interest rate on the hedged tranches will vary with changes in SOFR. See Note 8 Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities for further details.

The Company may redeem the Notes prior to maturity in whole or in part at an amount equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and an applicable premium (if any). The Notes include, among other terms and conditions, limitations on the Company’s ability to consolidate or merge with, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of the Company’s and its subsidiaries assets, to another person. Certain of the Notes additionally require the Company to offer to repurchase the Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal plus accrued interest in the event of a change of control accompanied by a decline in the ratings of the Notes and limit the ability of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to create, incur or allow certain liens, enter into sale and lease-back transactions and create, assume, incur or guarantee additional indebtedness of certain of the Company’s subsidiaries. As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all related covenants.

Revolving Credit Facility

On April 12, 2024, the Company entered into a five-year, $3 billion unsecured revolving credit facility that matures on April 12, 2029 (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”), to replace its previous $1 billion unsecured revolving credit facility. As of September 30, 2026, no amounts have been borrowed under the Revolving Credit Agreement.

The borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement bear interest, at the Company’s option, of either (i) a floating rate per annum equal to a base rate (the “Alternate Base Rate”) plus an applicable margin or (ii) a per annum rate equal to an adjusted term SOFR rate (the “Adjusted Term SOFR Rate”) plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for Alternate Base Rate loans will range from 0.00% to 0.25%, and the applicable margin for Adjusted Term SOFR Rate loans will range from 0.75% to 1.25%, each based on the Company’s credit ratings.

The Revolving Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative covenants and negative covenants (and customary baskets and exceptions with respect thereto) for a credit facility of this size and type and requires the Company to maintain a minimum ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense of 3.0 to 1.0 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter. As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all related covenants and ratios.

Commercial Paper Program

In May 2025, the Company established a $3 billion commercial paper program (the “Commercial Paper Program”) under which it may issue short-term unsecured commercial paper notes. Net proceeds from this program may be used for general corporate purposes. There were no borrowings outstanding under the Commercial Paper Program as of September 30, 2026.

WBD Financing

On February 27, 2026, upon the termination of the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement, all related financing arrangements to fund the previously proposed WBD transaction were terminated in accordance with their respective terms. No amounts had been borrowed under any of the financing arrangements and the related expenses were not material.

Master Netting Agreements

In order to mitigate counterparty credit risk, the Company enters into master netting agreements with its counterparties for its foreign currency exchange contracts and interest rate contracts, which permit the parties to settle amounts on a net basis under certain conditions. The Company has elected to present its derivative assets and liabilities on a gross basis on its Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company also enters into collateral security arrangements with its counterparties that require the parties to post cash collateral when certain contractual thresholds are met. Cash collateral received is presented in “Accrued expenses and other liabilities” representing the Company’s obligation to return counterparty cash collateral. Cash collateral posted is presented in “Other current assets,” representing the Company’s right to reclaim the cash collateral. The Company does not offset the fair value of its derivative instruments against the fair value of cash collateral posted or received.

The potential offsetting effect to the Company’s derivative assets and liabilities under its master netting agreements and collateral security agreements were as follows:

			As of September 30, 2026

9. Commitments and Contingencies

Content

As of September 30, 2026, the Company had $25.2 billion of obligations comprised of $3.9 billion included in “Current content liabilities” and $1.7 billion of “Non-current content liabilities” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and $19.6 billion of obligations that are not reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as they did not yet meet the criteria for recognition.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $24.0 billion of obligations comprised of $4.1 billion included in “Current content liabilities” and $1.6 billion of “Non-current content liabilities” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and $18.4 billion of obligations that are not reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as they did not yet meet the criteria for recognition.

The expected timing of payments for these content obligations is as follows:

			As of
			September 30, 2026						December 31, 2025
			(in thousands)
Less than one year			$	11,776,580					$	11,528,030
Due after one year and through three years			9,895,575						8,376,160
Due after three years and through five years			3,027,909						3,041,538
Due after five years			522,736						1,093,500
Total content obligations			$	25,222,800					$	24,039,228

Content obligations include amounts related to the acquisition, licensing and production of content. Obligations that are in non-U.S. dollar currencies are translated to the U.S. dollar at period end rates. An obligation for the production of content includes non-cancelable commitments under creative talent and employment agreements as well as other production related commitments. An obligation for the acquisition and licensing of content is incurred at the time the Company enters into an agreement to obtain future titles. Once a title becomes available, a content liability is recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Certain agreements include the obligation to license rights for unknown future titles, the ultimate quantity and/or fees for which are not yet determinable as of the reporting date. Traditional film output deals, or certain TV series license agreements where the number of seasons to be aired is unknown, are examples of such license agreements. The Company does not include any estimated obligation for these future titles beyond the known minimum amount. However, the unknown obligations are expected to be significant.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, in the normal course of its operations, the Company is subject to litigation matters and claims, including claims relating to employee relations, business practices and patent infringement. Litigation can be expensive and disruptive to normal business operations. Moreover, the results of complex legal proceedings are difficult to predict and the Company’s view of these matters may change in the future as the litigation and events related thereto unfold. The Company expenses legal fees as incurred. The Company records a provision for contingent losses when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. An unfavorable outcome to any legal matter, if material, could have an adverse effect on the Company’s operations or its financial position, liquidity or results of operations.

The Company is involved in litigation matters not listed herein but does not consider the matters to be material either individually or in the aggregate at this time. The Company’s view of the matters not listed may change in the future as the litigation and events related thereto unfold.

Non-Income Taxes

The Company is routinely under audit by various tax authorities with regard to non-income tax matters. The subject matter of non-income tax audits primarily arises from disputes on the tax treatment and tax rate applied to our revenue in certain jurisdictions. We accrue, as operating expenses, non-income taxes that may result from examinations by, or any negotiated agreements with, these tax authorities when a loss is probable and reasonably estimable.

Guarantees— Indemnification Obligations

In the ordinary course of business, the Company has entered into contractual arrangements under which it has agreed to provide indemnification of varying scope and terms to business partners and other parties with respect to certain matters, including, but not limited to, losses arising out of the Company’s breach of such agreements and out of intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties. In these circumstances, payment may be conditional on the other party making a claim pursuant to the procedures specified in the particular contract.

20

Table of Contents

The Company’s obligations under these agreements may be limited in terms of time or amount, and in some instances, the Company may have recourse against third parties for certain payments. In addition, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and certain of its officers that will require it, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers. The terms of such obligations vary.

It is not possible to make a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential amount of future payments under these or similar agreements due to the conditional nature of the Company’s obligations and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. No amount has been accrued in the accompanying consolidated financial statements with respect to these indemnification obligations.

10. Stockholders’ Equity

Equity Incentive Plans

The Netflix, Inc. 2020 Stock Plan is a stockholder-approved plan that provides for the grant of incentive stock options to employees and for the grant of non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and restricted stock units to employees, directors and consultants.

Stock Option Activity

Stock options are generally vested in full upon the grant date and are exercisable for the full ten-year contractual term regardless of employment status.

The following table summarizes the activities related to the Company’s stock options:

			Options Outstanding
			Number of Shares						Weighted- Average Exercise Price (per share)

Vested and exercisable as of September 30, 2026			120,175,117						$	41.24

Restricted Stock Unit Activity

The Company grants time-based restricted stock unit (“RSU”) awards and performance-based restricted stock unit (“PSU”) awards to certain executive officers. RSU awards vest quarterly over a three-year period subject to the executive’s continued employment or service with the Company through the vesting date. PSU awards have performance periods ranging from one to three years and vest depending on the Company’s achievement of predetermined market-based performance targets.

The following table summarizes the activities related to the Company’s unvested RSUs and PSUs:

			Unvested Restricted Stock Units
			Number of Shares						Weighted- Average Grant-Date Fair Value (per share)
Balances as of December 31, 2025			1,585,260						$	98.68

Forfeited			—						—
Balances as of September 30, 2026			1,867,761						$	98.66

(1) Amounts include 264,300 PSU awards that were granted and 528,600 PSU awards that vested based on the achievement of market-based performance targets during the performance period ended December 31, 2025, but were settled in the first quarter of 2026.

Stock-Based Compensation

Total stock-based compensation expense was $134 million and $405 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, and $81 million and $234 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively.

Stock Repurchases

In March 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program for the Company’s common stock with no expiration date. The Board subsequently approved additional repurchase authorizations in September 2023 and December 2024, and most recently in April 2026, authorized the repurchase of an additional $25 billion of the Company’s common stock. Stock repurchases may be effected through open market repurchases in compliance with Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act, including through the use of trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, privately-negotiated transactions, accelerated stock repurchase plans, block purchases, or other similar purchase techniques and in such amounts as management deems appropriate. The Company is not obligated to repurchase any specific number of shares, and the timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including the Company’s stock price, general economic, business and market conditions, and alternative investment opportunities. The Company may discontinue any repurchases of its common stock at any time without prior notice. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company repurchased 63,917,979 and 130,349,765 shares of common stock, respectively, for an aggregate amount of $4.8 billion and $10.7 billion, respectively (excluding the 1% excise tax on stock repurchases as a result of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022). As of September 30, 2026, $22.3 billion remains available for repurchases. Shares repurchased by the Company are accounted for when the transaction is settled. As of September 30, 2026, there were no unsettled share repurchases. Direct costs incurred to acquire the shares are included in the total cost of the shares.

12. Segment and Geographic Information

The Company operates as one operating segment. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is its co-chief executive officers, who review financial information presented on a consolidated basis. The CODM uses consolidated operating margin and net income to assess financial performance and allocate resources. These financial metrics are used by the CODM to make key operating decisions, such as the determination of the rate at which the Company seeks to grow global operating margin and the allocation of budget between cost of revenues, sales and marketing, technology and development, and general and administrative expenses.

The following table presents selected financial information with respect to the Company’s single operating segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025:

Operating margin for the three months ended September 30, 2026 increased by over six percentage points as compared to the prior comparative period. The increase in operating margin was driven by a decrease in cost of revenues and revenue growth outpacing the growth in sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses, partially offset by technology and development expenses growing at a faster rate than revenues.

Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2026 increased by $1,117 million as compared to the prior comparative period, primarily due to a $1,210 million increase in operating income, driven by a $1,364 million increase in revenues and an $85 million decrease in cost of revenues. The impact of higher operating income was partially offset by a $90 million increase in the provision for income taxes.

Revenues

We primarily derive revenues from monthly subscription fees for services related to streaming content to our members. We offer a variety of streaming plans, including our ad-supported subscription, with multiple pricing tiers that vary by country and the features of the plan. As of September 30, 2026, pricing on our streaming plans ranged from the U.S. dollar equivalent of $1 to $37 per month, and pricing on our extra member accounts ranged from the U.S. dollar equivalent of $2 to $10 per month. We expect that from time to time the prices of our streaming plans in each country may change and we may test other plan and price variations. The prices of our streaming plans, and periodic changes to these prices, may impact growth in memberships and the plans that both new and existing members choose, including the number of members that select our ad-supported subscription.

We also earn revenues from advertisements presented on our streaming service, consumer products and experiences, and various other sources.

Non-GAAP Constant Currency Information

We believe the non-GAAP financial measure of constant currency revenue is useful in analyzing period-to-period comparisons in revenues absent foreign currency fluctuations. However, this non-GAAP financial measure should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to other financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

In order to exclude the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations on revenue, we calculate current period revenue assuming foreign exchange rates had remained constant with foreign exchange rates from each of the corresponding months of the prior-year period and exclude the impact of hedging gains or losses realized as revenues. Constant currency percentage change in revenues is calculated as the percentage change between current period constant currency revenue and the prior comparative period revenue. The impact of hedging gains or losses is excluded from both the current and prior periods.

The tables below summarize constant currency revenues by region for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and the constant currency percentage change in revenues by region for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025:

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues primarily consists of the amortization of content assets. Other costs of revenues include expenses associated with the acquisition, licensing and production of content, streaming delivery costs, and other operating costs.

Expenses related to the acquisition, licensing and production of content not included in content amortization may include payroll, stock-based compensation, facilities, and other personnel-related expenses, costs associated with obtaining rights to music included in our content, overall deals with talent, miscellaneous production-related costs and participations and residuals. Streaming delivery costs are primarily related to our global content delivery network (“Open Connect”). We have built our own Open Connect network to help us efficiently stream a high volume of content to our members over the internet. Delivery expenses, therefore, include equipment costs related to Open Connect, payroll and related personnel expenses and all third-party costs, such as cloud computing costs, associated with delivering content over the internet. Other operating costs include customer service and payment processing fees, including those we pay to our integrated payment partners, as well as other costs incurred in making our content available to members.

As a percentage of revenues			47		%				54		%

The decrease in cost of revenues was primarily due to a decrease in other cost of revenues, driven by lower non-income tax expenses as the prior year period includes a $619 million expense related to non-income tax assessments in Brazil. The decrease in other cost of revenues was partially offset by a $233 million increase in content amortization relating to our existing and new content. No individual component of the remaining change in cost of revenues was material.

The increase in cost of revenues was primarily due to a $1,107 million increase in content amortization relating to our existing and new content. No individual component of the remaining increase in cost of revenues was material.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of expenses for promotional activities such as digital and television advertising, and certain payments made to marketing and advertising sales partners. Our marketing partners include consumer electronics manufacturers, multichannel video programming distributors, mobile operators, and internet service providers. Our advertising sales partners include advertising technology providers and advertising agencies. Sales and marketing expenses also include payroll, stock-based compensation, facilities, and other related expenses for personnel that support advertising sales and marketing activities.

Interest Expense

Interest expense consists primarily of the interest associated with our outstanding debt obligations and the amortization of debt issuance costs. See Note 7 Debt in the accompanying notes to our consolidated financial statements for further detail on our debt obligations.

Interest expense, net of hedging impacts, primarily consisted of interest on our Notes of $184 million and $535 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively. The increase in interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2025 was due to the increase in debt. The increase in interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was primarily driven by higher amortization of debt issuance costs, including approximately $85 million recognized in connection with the termination of financing arrangements associated with the WBD transaction in the first quarter of 2026. See Note 7 Debt for additional details regarding the termination of financing arrangements associated with the WBD transaction.

Interest and Other Income (Expense)

Interest and other income (expense) consists primarily of foreign exchange gains and losses on foreign currency denominated balances, gains and losses on certain derivative instruments, interest earned on cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, and miscellaneous other income and expenses.

Effective tax rate			17		%				14		%

The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to the same period in 2025, was primarily due to an increase in U.S. federal research and development tax credit benefits. The increase in the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to the same period in 2025, was primarily due to a decrease in tax benefits associated with lower excess tax benefits on stock-based compensation as well as lower foreign-derived income deduction relative to the growth in income before income taxes.

Short-term and long-term debt			15,132,394						14,462,836						669,558						5		%

Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments decreased $841 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2026, primarily due to the repurchases of stock, purchases of property and equipment and cash paid for acquisitions, partially offset by cash provided by operations and proceeds from the issuance of debt. Cash provided by operations in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 includes the receipt of a $2.8 billion termination fee in connection with the termination of the WBD transaction in the first quarter of 2026. See Note 6 Acquisitions for further information.

Debt, net of debt issuance costs, discounts and hedging impacts, increased $670 million primarily due to the issuance of debt, partially offset by the remeasurement of our Euro-denominated notes in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and fair value hedging adjustments. The amount of principal and interest on our outstanding notes due in the next twelve months is $3,194 million. See Note 7 Debt in the accompanying notes to our consolidated financial statements.

Uses of Cash

Our primary uses of cash include the acquisition, licensing and production of content, marketing programs, streaming delivery, and personnel-related costs. Cash payment terms for non-original content have historically been in line with the amortization period. Investments in original content, and in particular content that we produce and own, require more cash upfront relative to licensed content. For example, production costs are paid as the content is created, well in advance of when the content is available on the service and amortized. We expect to continue to significantly invest in global content, particularly in original content, which will impact our liquidity. Our other uses of cash include strategic acquisitions and investments, as well as share repurchases.

Financing Arrangements

On April 12, 2024, we entered into a five-year, $3 billion unsecured revolving credit facility that matures on April 12, 2029 (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”). In May 2025, we established a $3 billion commercial paper program (the “Commercial Paper Program”) under which we may issue short-term unsecured commercial paper notes. As of September 30, 2026, no amounts have been borrowed under the Revolving Credit Agreement or the Commercial Paper Program.

On February 27, 2026, upon the termination of the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement, all related financing arrangements to fund the previously proposed WBD transaction were terminated in accordance with their respective terms. No amounts had been borrowed under any of the financing arrangements and the related expenses were not material.

We anticipate that we may periodically raise additional debt capital. Our ability to obtain this or any additional financing that we may choose or need, including for the refinancing of upcoming maturities or potential strategic acquisitions and investments, will depend on, among other things, our development efforts, business plans, operating performance and the condition of the capital markets at the time we seek financing. We may not be able to obtain such financing on terms acceptable to us or at all. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or debt securities, those securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to the rights of our common stock, and our stockholders may experience dilution.

Share Repurchases

In March 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program for the Company’s common stock with no expiration date. The Board subsequently approved additional repurchase authorizations in September 2023 and December 2024, and most recently in April 2026, authorized the repurchase of an additional $25 billion of the Company’s common stock. Stock repurchases may be effected through open market repurchases in compliance with Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act, including through the use of trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, privately-negotiated transactions, accelerated stock repurchase plans, block purchases, or other similar purchase techniques and in such amounts as management deems appropriate. We are not obligated to repurchase any specific number of shares, and the timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including our stock price, general economic, business and market conditions, and alternative investment opportunities. We may discontinue any repurchases of our common stock at any time without prior notice. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company repurchased 130,349,765 shares of common stock for an aggregate amount of $10.7 billion (excluding the 1% excise tax on stock repurchases as a result of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022). As of September 30, 2026, $22.3 billion remains available for repurchases.

Material Cash Requirements

We currently anticipate that cash flows from operations, available funds and access to financing sources, including our Revolving Credit Facility and Commercial Paper Program, will continue to be sufficient to meet our cash needs for the next twelve months and beyond.

Our material cash requirements from known contractual and other obligations primarily relate to our content, debt and lease obligations. As of September 30, 2026, the expected timing of those payments are as follows:

						Payments due by Period
Contractual obligations (in thousands):						Total						Next 12 Months						Beyond 12 Months
Content obligations(1)						$	25,222,800					$	11,776,580					$	13,446,220
Debt(2)						19,026,875						3,193,514						15,833,361
Operating lease obligations(3)						2,618,583						504,573						2,114,010
Total						$	46,868,258					$	15,474,667					$	31,393,591

(1)As of September 30, 2026, content obligations were comprised of $3.9 billion included in “Current content liabilities” and $1.7 billion of “Non-current content liabilities” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and $19.6 billion of obligations that are not reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as they did not then meet the criteria for recognition.

The material cash requirements above do not include any estimated obligation for the unknown future titles, payment for which could range from less than one year to more than five years. However, these unknown obligations are expected to be significant and we believe could include approximately $1 billion to $4 billion over the next three years, with the payments for the vast majority of such amounts expected to occur after the next twelve months. The foregoing range is based on considerable management judgments and the actual amounts may differ. Once we know the title that we will receive and the license fees, we include the amount in the contractual obligations table above.

(2)Debt obligations include our Notes consisting of principal and interest payments. See Note 7 Debt to the consolidated financial statements for further details.

(3)Operating lease obligations are comprised of operating lease liabilities included in “Accrued expenses and other liabilities” and “Other non-current liabilities” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, inclusive of imputed interest. Operating lease obligations also include additional obligations that are not reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as they did not meet the criteria for recognition. See Note 5 Balance Sheet Components in the accompanying notes to our consolidated financial statements for further details regarding leases.

Cash Flows

The following tables summarize our cash flows:

Three months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2025

			Three Months Ended												Change
			September 30, 2026						September 30, 2025						Q3’26 vs. Q3’25

Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2026 increased $2,018 million as compared to the corresponding period in 2025, primarily due to a $2,940 million increase in repurchases of common stock, partially offset by $993 million of proceeds from the issuance of debt in the current period.

Nine months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2025

			Nine Months Ended												Change
			September 30, 2026						September 30, 2025						YTD’26 vs. YTD’25
			(in thousands, except percentages)

Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 increased $2,159 million as compared to the corresponding period in 2025, primarily driven by a $3,785 million increase in net income which includes a $2.8 billion termination fee received in connection with the termination of the WBD transaction in the first quarter of 2026 recorded in “Interest and other income (expense),” and a $1,910 million increase in adjustments for non-cash expenses, partially offset by a $2,337 million increase in payments for content assets and $1,200 million in unfavorable changes in working capital. Changes in working capital includes $729 million of non-routine payments made in connection with non-income tax assessments in Brazil for prior tax periods.

Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 increased $2,630 million as compared to the corresponding period in 2025, primarily driven by a net decrease of $1,800 million in cash flows from maturities, sales and purchases of investments, coupled with net cash outflows for acquisitions for an aggregate amount of $586 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to no acquisition-related cash flows in the corresponding period in 2025. In addition, purchases of property and equipment increased $245 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 increased $1,387 million as compared to the corresponding period in 2025, primarily driven by a $3,734 million increase in repurchases of common stock, partially offset by no repayments of debt in the nine months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to $1,833 million in repayments of debt in the corresponding period in 2025, as well as proceeds from the issuance of debt of $993 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2026.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and the Company’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and operating results require the Company’s management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported. Note 1, “Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the Notes to consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q and in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, describe the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. There have been no material changes to the Company’s critical accounting estimates included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risks related to interest rate changes, which affect the market values of our investments and debt, as well as foreign currency fluctuations.

Interest Rate Risk

As of September 30, 2026, our cash equivalents were generally invested in money market funds and time deposits. Interest earned on such funds fluctuates with the prevailing interest rate.

As of September 30, 2026, we had $15.3 billion of debt, consisting of fixed rate unsecured debt in thirteen tranches due between 2026 and 2054. Refer to Note 7 Debt to the consolidated financial statements for details about all issuances. The fair value of our debt will fluctuate with movements of interest rates, increasing in periods of declining rates of interest and declining in periods of increasing rates of interest. The fair value of our debt will also fluctuate based on changes in foreign currency rates, as discussed below.

As of September 30, 2026, we have entered into interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $2,400 million, which we designated as fair value hedges of specifically identified tranches of our fixed-rate Senior Notes. Under these agreements, we pay a floating rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) and receive a fixed rate equal to the contractual coupon of the designated hedged debt, effectively converting $2,400 million of fixed-rate debt to floating-rate debt. Refer to Note 8, Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities, for further information. As a result of these hedging activities, we are exposed to variability in interest expense from changes in SOFR on the hedged notional amount. A 1% increase in SOFR as of September 30, 2026, would increase our annual interest expense by approximately $24 million. For our remaining fixed-rate debt not subject to an interest rate swap, interest expense is contractually fixed and will not be affected by changes in market interest rates; however, the fair value of that debt will continue to fluctuate with changes in market interest rates as noted above.

Foreign Currency Risk

We operate our business globally and transact in multiple currencies. Currencies denominated in other than the U.S. dollar accounted for 57% of revenue and 30% of operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2026. We therefore have foreign currency risk related to these currencies, which are primarily the Euro, British pound, Brazilian real, Mexican peso, Canadian dollar, and Argentine peso.

Accordingly, volatility in exchange rates and, in particular, a weakening of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar may negatively affect our revenue and operating income as expressed in U.S. dollars. Our revenues, on a constant currency basis, would have been approximately $506 million lower for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 than our reported revenues of $37,684 million. See Part I, Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for further information regarding our non-GAAP financial measure of constant currency.

We enter into foreign exchange forward contracts to mitigate fluctuations in forecasted U.S. dollar-equivalent revenues from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. These contracts may reduce, but do not entirely eliminate, the effect of foreign currency exchange fluctuations, and we may choose not to hedge certain exposures. We designate these contracts as cash flow hedges of forecasted foreign currency revenue and initially record the gains or losses on these derivative instruments as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) and reclassify the amounts into “Revenues” on the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the same period the forecasted transaction affects earnings. If the U.S. dollar weakened by 10% as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the amount recorded in AOCI related to our foreign exchange contracts, before taxes, would have been approximately $2,423 million and $2,296 million lower, respectively. This adverse change in AOCI would be expected to offset a corresponding favorable foreign currency change in the underlying forecasted revenues when recognized in earnings.

We enter into foreign exchange forward contracts to mitigate fluctuations in forecasted and firmly committed U.S. dollar-equivalent transactions related to the licensing and production of content assets from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. These contracts may reduce, but do not entirely eliminate, the effect of foreign currency exchange fluctuations, and we may choose not to hedge certain exposures. We designate these contracts as cash flow hedges and initially record the gains or losses on these derivative instruments as a component of AOCI and reclassify the amounts into “Cost of Revenues” to offset the hedged exposures as they affect earnings, which occurs as the underlying hedged content assets are amortized. If the U.S. dollar strengthened by 10% as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the amount recorded in AOCI related to our foreign exchange contracts, before taxes, would have been approximately $307 million and $237 million lower, respectively. This adverse change in AOCI would be expected to offset a corresponding favorable foreign currency change in the underlying exposures when recognized in earnings.

We use non-derivative instruments to mitigate foreign exchange risk related to our net investments in certain foreign subsidiaries. These non-derivative instruments may reduce, but do not entirely eliminate, the effect of foreign currency exchange fluctuations, and we may choose not to hedge certain exposures. We designate a portion of our foreign currency-denominated Senior Notes in Euros as net investment hedges and the gains or losses on these non-derivative instruments are reported as a component of AOCI and remain in AOCI until the hedged net investment is sold or liquidated, at which point the amounts recognized in AOCI are reclassified into earnings.

We have also experienced and will continue to experience fluctuations in our net income as a result of gains (losses) on the settlement and the remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies that are not the functional currency. We enter into foreign

38

Table of Contents

exchange forward contracts to mitigate the foreign exchange risk on intercompany transactions and monetary assets and liabilities that are not denominated in the functional currencies of the Company and its subsidiaries. These contracts may reduce, but do not entirely eliminate, the effect of foreign currency exchange fluctuations, and we may choose not to hedge certain exposures. Certain contracts are not designated as hedging instruments and the gains or losses on these derivative instruments are recorded in “Interest and other income (expense)” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. We also designate certain contracts as fair value hedges to mitigate the foreign exchange risk on the remeasurement of our foreign-currency denominated debt. The gains or losses on these derivative instruments included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness are recorded in “Interest and other income (expense),” net with the offsetting foreign currency remeasurement gains and losses on the hedged items. If an adverse change in exchange rates of 10% was applied to our monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currencies as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, income before income taxes would have been approximately $76 million and $1 million lower, respectively, after considering the offsetting impact of the foreign currency exchange contracts and our net investment hedges.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q were effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Our management, including our co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2026, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
