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.
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, 2025.
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.
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.
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.

Total Revenues |  | $ | 12,249,757 |  |  | $ | 10,542,801 |  |  |  |  |

Deferred revenue consists primarily of membership fees billed that have not been recognized, as well as gift cards and other prepaid memberships that have not been fully redeemed. As of March 31, 2026, total deferred revenue was $1,743 million, the vast majority of which was related to membership fees billed that are expected to be recognized as revenue within the next month. Deferred revenue balances related to gift cards and other prepaid memberships will be recognized as revenue over the period of service after redemption, which is expected to occur over the next 12 months. Deferred revenue decreased $32 million from $1,776 million as of December 31, 2025 to $1,743 million as of March 31, 2026. Deferred revenue balances may fluctuate due to the number of paid memberships and the price of our memberships.
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 March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

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 March 31, 2026, the pre-tax net accumulated gain 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 $23 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 March 31, 2026
|  |  |  |  |  |  | Gross Amount Not Offset in the Consolidated Balance Sheets |  |

9. Commitments and Contingencies
Content
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $24.1 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 $18.5 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
| March 31, 2026 |  | December 31, 2025
| (in thousands)
Less than one year | $ | 11,779,222 |  |  | $ | 11,528,030 |

Total content obligations | $ | 24,139,431 |  |  | $ | 24,039,228 |

Table of Contents
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.
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

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 $140 million and $72 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, 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 months ended March 31, 2026, the Company repurchased 13,497,098 shares of common stock for an aggregate amount of $1.3 billion. As of March 31, 2026, $6.8 billion remains available for repurchases. Shares repurchased by the Company are accounted for when the transaction is settled. As of March 31, 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 months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:

(1) 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 March 31, 2026 increased by approximately one percentage point as compared to the prior comparative period. The increase in operating margin was primarily driven by revenue growth outpacing the growth in cost of revenues, partially offset by general and administrative, sales and marketing, and technology and development expenses growing at a faster rate relative to revenue growth.
Net income fo r the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased $2,392 million as compared to the prior comparative period, primarily driven by an increase in interest and other income (expense) due to a $2.8 billion termination fee received in connection with the termination of our agreement with Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. (“WBD”) to acquire WBD’s streaming and studios businesses, including its film and television studios, HBO Max and HBO (such transaction, the “WBD transaction”). The increase in net income was additionally impacted by a $610 million increase in operating income, driven by a $1,707 million increase in revenues, partially offset by a $625 million increase in cost of revenues due to an increase in content amortization, and a $941 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 March 31, 2026, pricing on our plans ranged from the U.S. dollar equivalent of $1 to $39 per month, and pricing on our extra member sub 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 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 and experiences, and various other sources. Revenues earned from sources other than monthly membership fees were not a material component of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025.

Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased 16% as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to the growth in memberships, price increases, and increased advertising revenue.
The following table summarizes revenues by region for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. Total revenues are inclusive of hedging gains (losses) of $(133) million and $165 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

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 table below summarizes constant currency revenues by region for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and the constant currency percentage change in revenues by region for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 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 | 48 | % |  | 50 | % |  |  |  |

The increase in cost of revenues was primarily due to a $395 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.

Technology and Development
Technology and development expenses consist primarily of payroll, stock-based compensation, facilities, and other related expenses for technology personnel responsible for making improvements to our service offerings, including testing, maintaining and modifying our user interface, our recommendations and infrastructure. Technology and development expenses also include costs associated with general use computer hardware and software.

The increase in technology and development expenses was primarily due to a $105 million increase in personnel-related costs.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of payroll, stock-based compensation, facilities, and other related expenses for corporate personnel. General and administrative expenses also include professional fees and other general corporate expenses.

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 primarily consisted of interest on our Notes of $176 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026. The increase in interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 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. 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.

Interest and other income (expense) increased in the three months ended March 31, 2026, primarily due to a $2.8 billion termination fee received in connection with the termination of the WBD transaction. See Note 6 Acquisitions for further information.

The increase in the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 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.

Table of Contents
Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments increased $3,228 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026, primarily due to cash provided by operations, which includes the receipt of a $2.8 billion termination fee in connection with the termination of the WBD transaction, partially offset by repurchases of stock and cash paid for acquisitions. See Note 6 Acquisitions for further information.
Debt, net of debt issuance costs and discounts, decreased $102 million primarily due to the remeasurement of our Euro-denominated notes in the three months ended March 31, 2026. The amount of principal and interest on our outstanding notes due in the next twelve months is $1,686 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 March 31, 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 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 three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company repurchased 13,497,098 shares of common stock for an aggregate amount of $1.3 billion. As of March 31, 2026, $6.8 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 March 31, 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) |  | $ | 24,139,431 |  |  | $ | 11,779,222 |  |  | $ | 12,360,209 |
Debt (2) |  | 17,926,034 |  |  | 1,686,288 |  |  | 16,239,746 |

Table of Contents
(1)As of March 31, 2026, 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 $18.5 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 table summarizes our cash flows:

| Three Months Ended |  | Change
| March 31, 2026 |  | March 31, 2025 |  | Q1'26 vs. Q1'25
| (in thousands, except percentages)
Net cash provided by operating activities | $ | 5,290,205 |  |  | $ | 2,789,199 |  |  | $ | 2,501,006 |  |  | 90 | %
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities | (781,874) |  |  | 485,662 |  |  | (1,267,536) |  |  | (261) | %
Net cash used in financing activities | (1,230,814) |  |  | (4,028,316) |  |  | (2,797,502) |  |  | (69) | %

Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased $2,501 million as compared to the corresponding period in 2025, primarily driven by a $2,392 million or 83% increase in net income which was largely attributable to an increase in interest and other income (expense) due to a $2.8 billion termination fee received in connection with the termination of the WBD transaction, a $749 million increase in adjustments for non-cash expenses, and $200 million in favorable changes in working capital, partially offset by an $841 million increase in payments for content assets. Changes in working capital includes $729 million of non-routine payments made during the current period in connection with non-income tax assessments in Brazil for prior tax periods, which were offset by favorable changes in other working capital balances.
Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased $1,268 million as compared to the corresponding period in 2025, primarily due to a net decrease of $614 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 three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to no acquisition-related cash flows in the corresponding period in 2025. In addition, purchases of property and equipment increased $68 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 decreased $2,798 million as compared to the corresponding period in 2025, primarily driven by a $2,266 million decrease in repurchases of common stock, coupled with no repayments of debt in the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to $800 million in repayments of debt in the corresponding period in 2025. In addition, proceeds from the issuance of common stock decreased $302 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the three months ended March 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 March 31, 2026, 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 March 31, 2026, we had $14.4 billion of debt, consisting of fixed rate unsecured debt in twelve 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.
Foreign Currency Risk
We operate our business globally and transact in multiple currencies. Currencies denominated in other than the U.S. dollar accounted for 58% of revenue and 30% of operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 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 $408 million lower for the three months ended March 31, 2026 than our reported revenues of $12,250 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 March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the amount recorded in AOCI related to our foreign exchange contracts, before taxes, would have been approximately $2,263 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 March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the amount recorded in AOCI related to our foreign exchange contracts, before taxes, would have been approximately $274 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 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 March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, income before income taxes would have been

approximately $32 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 March 31, 2026, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
