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, 2024 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on January 27, 2025. 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, 2024. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year.

There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies as compared to the significant accounting policies described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires public entities, on an annual basis, to provide disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation table, as well as disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2023-09.

In November 2024, the FASB issued 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.

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 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:

			Three Months Ended												Nine Months Ended
			September 30, 2025						September 30, 2024						September 30, 2025						September 30, 2024
			(in thousands, except per share data)
Basic earnings per share:
Net income			$	2,546,916					$	2,363,509					$	8,562,680					$	6,843,024
Shares used in computation:
Weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding			424,455						428,239						425,635						430,125
Basic earnings per share			$	6.00					$	5.52					$	20.12					$	15.91
Diluted earnings per share:
Net income			$	2,546,916					$	2,363,509					$	8,562,680					$	6,843,024
Shares used in computation:
Weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding			424,455						428,239						425,635						430,125
Effect of dilutive stock-based awards			9,584						9,659						9,649						9,632
Weighted-average number of shares			434,039						437,898						435,284						439,757
Diluted earnings per share			$	5.87					$	5.40					$	19.67					$	15.56

The following table summarizes the potential shares of common stock excluded from the diluted calculation as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive:

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, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

			As of September 30, 2025
			Amortized Cost						Gross Unrealized Gains						Gross Unrealized Losses						Estimated Fair Value						Cash and Cash Equivalents						Short-term Investments						Other Current Assets						Non-current Assets

(1) The majority of the Company's time deposits are international deposits, which mature within one year.

Other current assets and non-current assets primarily consist of restricted cash for deposits related to self-insurance. The fair value of available-for-sale securities, cash equivalents and short-term investments included in the Level 2 category is based on observable inputs, such as quoted prices for similar assets at the measurement date; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly.

See Note 6 Debt and Note 7 Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities to the consolidated financial statements for further information regarding the fair value of the Company’s senior notes and derivative financial instruments.

Leases

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, 2025, 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, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 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, 2025.

7. Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company uses derivative and non-derivative instruments to manage foreign exchange risk related to its ongoing business operations with the primary objective of reducing earnings and cash flow volatility associated with fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.

Notional Amount of Derivative Contracts

The net notional amounts of the Company’s outstanding derivative instruments were as follows:

			As of
			September 30, 2025						December 31, 2024
			(in thousands)
Derivatives designated as hedging instruments:
Foreign exchange contracts
Cash flow hedges			$	20,147,476					$	18,508,390

Total			$	596,276					$	406,677					$	317,917					$	83

The Company classifies derivative instruments in the Level 2 category within the fair value hierarchy. These instruments are valued using industry standard valuation models that use observable inputs such as interest rate yield curves, and forward and spot prices for currencies.

As of September 30, 2025, the pre-tax net accumulated loss on our foreign currency cash flow hedges included in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) on the Consolidated Balance Sheets expected to be recognized in earnings within the next 12 months is $396 million.

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 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, 2025
																					Gross Amount Not Offset in the Consolidated Balance Sheets

8. Commitments and Contingencies

Content

As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $20.9 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 $15.2 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, 2024, the Company had $23.2 billion of obligations comprised of $4.4 billion included in "Current content liabilities" and $1.8 billion of "Non-current content liabilities" on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and $17.0 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, 2025						December 31, 2024
			(in thousands)
Less than one year			$	11,267,688					$	11,424,696
Due after one year and through three years			6,981,849						8,113,910
Due after three years and through five years			2,110,536						2,809,834
Due after five years			580,827						900,491
Total content obligations			$	20,940,900					$	23,248,931

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.

Similar to other U.S. companies doing business in Brazil, the Company is involved in a number of matters with the local tax authorities as they pertain to non-income tax assessments. There is inherent complexity and uncertainty regarding these matters, and the final outcomes may be materially different from our expectations. During the current period, developments in another taxpayer’s judicial proceedings have influenced our evaluation of the Company’s most significant non-income tax matter in Brazil and we now believe that it is probable that a loss will be incurred. The cumulative loss recognized as an operating expense in the current period related to non-income tax assessments with the Brazilian tax authorities was approximately $619 million.

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.

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.

9. 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. Stock options granted to certain named executive officers in fiscal years 2023 and 2024 vest on the one-year anniversary of the grant date, subject to the employee’s continuous employment or service with the Company through the vesting date. All executive options subject to a one-year service period have vested as of the first quarter of the current fiscal year.

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

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:

Stock-based Compensation

Total stock-based compensation expense was $81 million and $234 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and $66 million and $211 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.

Stock Repurchases

In September 2023, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $10 billion of the Company’s common stock, with no expiration date, and in December 2024, the Board of Directors increased the share repurchase authorization by an additional $15 billion, also with no expiration date. 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, 2025, the Company repurchased 1,526,661 and 6,765,397 shares of common stock, respectively, for an aggregate amount of $1.9 billion and $7.0 billion, respectively (excluding the 1% excise tax on stock repurchases as a result of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022). As of September 30, 2025, $10.1 billion remains available for repurchases. Shares repurchased by the Company are accounted for when the transaction is settled. As of September 30, 2025, there were no unsettled share repurchases. Direct costs incurred to acquire the shares are included in the total cost of the shares.

The effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 differed from the Federal statutory rate primarily due to the foreign-derived intangible income deduction and excess tax benefits on stock-based compensation.

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted on July 4, 2025. The OBBBA does not materially impact the Company’s effective tax rate or cash flows in the current fiscal year.

11. 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, 2025 and 2024:

Results of Operations

The following represents our consolidated performance highlights(1):

			Three Months Ended												Change
			September 30, 2025						September 30, 2024						Q3'25 vs. Q3'24
			(in thousands, except percentages)
Financial Results:
Revenues			$	11,510,307					$	9,824,703					$	1,685,604					17		%
Constant currency change in revenues(2)																					17		%
Operating income			$	3,248,247					$	2,909,477					$	338,770					12		%

Net income			$	2,546,916					$	2,363,509					$	183,407					8		%

(1) We have discontinued the quarterly reporting of membership numbers, focusing instead on revenue and operating margin as the primary financial metrics that we believe best represent our business performance. Effective with the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, we discontinued reporting streaming membership metrics, including paid net membership additions (losses), paid memberships at end of period, average paying memberships and average monthly revenue per paying membership.

(2) See the “Non-GAAP Constant Currency Information” section below for additional details on our use of constant currency revenue.

Operating margin for the three months ended September 30, 2025 decreased by approximately one percentage point as compared to the prior comparative period. The decrease in operating margin was primarily driven by the growth in cost of revenues and sales and marketing expenses outpacing the growth in revenues, partially offset by a slower rate of growth in technology and development expenses and general and administrative expenses relative to revenue growth.

Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2025 increased $183 million as compared to the prior comparative period, primarily due to a $339 million increase in operating income, driven by a $1,686 million increase in revenues and partially offset by a $1,044 million increase in cost of revenues primarily due to the increase in other cost of revenues and content amortization. The impact of higher operating income was partially offset by a $223 million increase in the provision for income taxes.

Revenues

We primarily derive revenues from monthly membership fees for services related to streaming content to our members. We offer a variety of streaming membership plans, the price of which varies by country and the features of the plan. As of September 30, 2025, pricing on our plans ranged from the U.S. dollar equivalent of $1 to $35 per month, and pricing on our extra member sub accounts ranged from the U.S. dollar equivalent of $2 to $9 per month. We expect that from time to time the prices of our membership plans in each country may change and we may test other plan and price variations.

We also earn revenues from advertisements presented on our streaming service, consumer products, live experiences and various other sources. Revenues earned from sources other than monthly membership fees were not a material component of revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024.

Revenues						$	33,132,274					$	28,754,453					$	4,377,821					15		%

Revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 increased 17% and 15% as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, primarily due to the growth in memberships, price increases, and increased advertising revenue. Additionally, revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024 were unfavorably impacted by changes in foreign exchange rates, net of hedging.

The following tables summarize revenues by region for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. Total revenues are inclusive of hedging gains (losses) of $(129) million and $(2) million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and $48 million and $70 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. See Note 7 Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities to the consolidated financial statements for further information regarding the Company’s derivative and non-derivative financial instruments.

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, 2025 and the constant currency percentage change in revenues by region for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024:

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 directly incurred in making our content available to members.

The increase in cost of revenues was primarily due to an increase in other cost of revenues, driven primarily by the accrual of a loss of $619 million related to non-income tax assessments in Brazil, coupled with a $303 million increase in content amortization relating to our existing and new content. We do not expect that non-income taxes incurred in Brazil will materially impact our results of operations in future periods. See Note 8 Commitments and Contingencies in the accompanying notes to our consolidated financial statements for further detail on our non-income tax matters.

We do not expect that non-income taxes incurred in Brazil will materially impact our results of operations in future periods. See Note 8 Commitments and Contingencies in the accompanying notes to our consolidated financial statements for further detail on our non-income tax matters.

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			$	542,115					$	526,130					$	15,985					3		%
As a percentage of revenues			2		%				2		%

Interest expense primarily consists of interest on our Notes of $175 million and $541 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. The decrease in interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024 was due to the lower average aggregate principal of our Notes outstanding. The increase in interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was due to the higher average aggregate principal of our Notes outstanding.

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, and interest earned on cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments.

As a percentage of revenues			—		%				—		%

Interest and other income (expense) increased in the three months ended September 30, 2025 primarily due to foreign exchange losses of $25 million, net of the impacts of derivatives and hedging, compared to losses of $91 million for the corresponding period in 2024. In the three months ended September 30, 2025, the foreign exchange losses were primarily driven by the remeasurement of cash and content liability positions in currencies other than the functional currencies. In the three months ended September 30, 2024, the foreign exchange losses were primarily driven by the non-cash loss of $105 million from the remeasurement of our Senior Notes denominated in euro, net of hedging impacts, partially offset by the remeasurement of cash and content liability positions in currencies other than the functional currencies. The change in foreign currency gains and losses was partially offset by a $9 million decrease in interest income earned in the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the corresponding period in 2024.

Interest and other income (expense) decreased in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 primarily due to foreign exchange losses of $97 million, net of the impacts of derivatives and hedging, compared to gains of $24 million for the corresponding period in 2024. In the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the foreign exchange losses were primarily driven by the non-cash loss of $82 million from the remeasurement of our Senior Notes denominated in euro, net of hedging impacts, coupled with the remeasurement of cash and content liability positions in currencies other than the functional currencies. In the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the foreign exchange gains were primarily driven by the non-cash gain of $69 million from the remeasurement of our Senior Notes denominated in euro, net of hedging impacts, partially offset by the remeasurement of cash and content liability positions in currencies other than the functional currencies. The change in foreign currency gains and losses was partially offset by a $15 million increase in interest income earned in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the corresponding period in 2024.

The increase in the effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the same periods in 2024, was primarily due to a decrease in tax benefits associated with federal research and development tax credits, as well as the lower growth in the foreign-derived intangible income deduction relative to the growth in income before income taxes.

Short-term and long-term debt			14,463,020						15,582,804						(1,119,784)						(7)		%

Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments decreased $258 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 primarily due to the repurchase of stock and repayment of debt, partially offset by cash provided by operations and proceeds from issuance of common stock.

Debt, net of debt issuance costs and discounts, decreased $1,120 million primarily due to approximately $1,833 million in repayments of debt, partially offset by the remeasurement of our euro-denominated notes in the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The amount of principal and interest on our outstanding notes due in the next twelve months is $690 million. As of September 30, 2025, no amounts had been borrowed under the $3 billion Revolving Credit Agreement or the $3 billion Commercial Paper Program. See Note 6 Debt in the accompanying notes to our consolidated financial statements.

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.

In September 2023, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $10 billion of our common stock, with no expiration date, and in December 2024, the Board of Directors increased the share repurchase authorization by an additional $15 billion, also with no expiration date. 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, 2025, the Company repurchased 6,765,397 shares of common stock for an aggregate amount of $7.0 billion (excluding the 1% excise tax on stock repurchases as a result of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022). As of September 30, 2025, $10.1 billion remains available for repurchases.

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. 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, 2025, 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)						$	20,940,900					$	11,267,688					$	9,673,212
Debt (2)						18,394,940						690,341						17,704,599
Operating lease obligations (3)						3,031,727						574,669						2,457,058
Total						$	42,367,567					$	12,532,698					$	29,834,869

Table of Contents

(1)As of September 30, 2025, content obligations were 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 $15.2 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 6 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.

In addition to the material cash requirements summarized in the table above, we expect to pay deposits of $619 million related to non-income tax assessments in Brazil as described further in Note 8 Commitments and Contingencies. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we also paid tax deposits of approximately $200 million related to certain direct taxes that exceeded our regularly recurring obligations.

Cash Flows

The following tables summarize our cash flows:

Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended September 30, 2025 increased $504 million as compared to the corresponding period in 2024, primarily driven by a $454 million increase in adjustments for non-cash expenses, $396 million in favorable changes in working capital, and a $183 million or 8% increase in net income, partially offset by a $530 million increase in payments for content assets.

Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2025 increased $1,913 million as compared to the corresponding period in 2024, primarily due to net cash inflows of $172 million from maturities, sales and purchases of investments in the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to cash outflows of $1,742 million from purchases of investments in the corresponding period in 2024, partially offset by a $38 million increase in purchases of property and equipment.

Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2025 decreased $1,964 million as compared to the corresponding period in 2024, primarily due to no proceeds from the issuance of debt in the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to proceeds from the issuance of debt of $1,794 million in the corresponding period in 2024, coupled with a $157 million decrease in cash flows related to higher repurchases of common stock in the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the corresponding period in 2024.

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

At September 30, 2025, our cash equivalents were generally invested in money market funds and time deposits. Interest paid on such funds fluctuates with the prevailing interest rate.

As of September 30, 2025, we had $14.5 billion of debt, consisting of fixed rate unsecured debt in twelve tranches due between 2026 and 2054. Refer to Note 6 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.

Foreign Currency Risk

We operate our business globally and transact in multiple currencies. Currencies denominated in other than the U.S. dollar accounted for 56% of revenue and 32% of operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. We therefore have foreign currency risk related to these currencies, which are primarily the euro, the British pound, the Brazilian real, the Mexican peso, the Canadian dollar, and the 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 $349 million higher for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 than our reported revenues of $33,132 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, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the amount recorded in AOCI related to our foreign exchange contracts, before taxes, would have been approximately $2,198 million and $1,850 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, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the amount recorded in AOCI related to our foreign exchange contracts, before taxes, would have been approximately $210 million and $187 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 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, 2025 and December 31, 2024, income before income taxes would have been

approximately $54 million and $38 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, 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
