Briefing

Paramount's Q4 2022 earnings were impacted by investments in content and restructuring charges, but Paramount+ added a record number of subscribers.

Paramount's Q4 2022 earnings report revealed a mixed performance. While the company saw revenue growth and a significant increase in Paramount+ subscribers, operating income decreased substantially due to increased costs and expenses. The company's multiplatform strategy showed success, but investments in content and international expansion impacted adjusted OIBDA.

  • Paramount+ added a record 9.9M subscribers in Q4, reaching nearly 56M subscribers.
  • Global Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) subscribers rose to more than 77M.
  • TV Media adjusted OIBDA grew 5% year-over-year despite macro headwinds.
  • Paramount Pictures had six films open at #1 in the U.S. box office in 2022.
