Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On April 16, 2026, Netflix, Inc. (the “Company”) announced its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. The Letter to Shareholders, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference, includes reference to the non-GAAP financial information. A reconciliation to the GAAP equivalent of non-GAAP measures is contained in tabular form in Exhibit 99.1. We are not able to reconcile forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures because we are unable to predict without unreasonable effort the exact amount or timing of the reconciling items, including property and equipment, and the impact of changes in currency exchange rates. The variability of these items could have a significant impact on our future GAAP financial results.
The information contained in this Item 2.02 and the accompanying Exhibit 99.1 are “furnished” and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and shall not be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing, unless expressly incorporated by specific reference in such filing.
Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On April 10, 2026, Reed Hastings informed the Company of his decision to not stand for re-election as a director at the Company’s 2026 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”). Mr. Hastings’ current term will expire at the Annual Meeting. He will continue to serve as a director and Chairman of the Board until the Annual Meeting. Mr. Hastings’ decision to not stand for re-election is not as a result of any disagreement with the Company.
