Warner Music Group used this report to share a strategic letter from CEO Robert Kyncl describing how the company aims to grow in a rapidly changing music industry, including AI-driven disruption. The letter highlights that global on-demand audio streams reached 5.1 trillion in 2025, up from 950 billion in 2017, and references more than 800 million music streaming subscribers worldwide. Industry projections cited in the letter see paying subscribers nearly doubling to 1.5 billion by 2035 and global recorded music revenue rising to $55 billion from $30 billion in 2024. Kyncl outlines three levers to increase music’s value—subscription pricing, audience segmentation focused on superfans, and more direct digital licensing for publishing—alongside Warner’s priorities to grow market share, grow the value of music, and increase efficiency. He notes Warner’s US streaming share grew by one percentage point in Q1 and its share of Spotify’s Top 200 rose over three percentage points fiscal year-to-date, while Adjusted OIBDA margin improved by 380 basis points over five years and revenue and Adjusted OIBDA per employee are up 28% and 42% since 2022. The letter emphasizes using AI to deepen fan engagement and reinforce the role of trusted artists and rights rather than replace human creativity.
