pinched revenue, which eased to $4.68 billion in the fourth quarter from $4.8 billion the year before. Excluding investment in content licensing, revenue would have been flat year-on-year.
Fourth-quarter net income of $2.4 billion, or 0.33 per share was down from $4.9 billion, or 0.66 a share, in the year-ago quarter. Adjusted earnings after write-offs were 0.89 cents versus 0.86 cents. At WarnerMedia, AT&T said foregone content licensing revenue in preparation for HBO Max launch impacted revenues and operating income.
Turner revenues were up 1.6% with subscription revenue gains. HBO revenues grew 1.9% with gains in digital subscribers. Video subscribers continued their exodus as the company – and the industry – continues to focus on a “long-term value customer base.” AT&T reported a net loss of 945,000 premium TV subscribers and a net loss of 219,00 subs at AT&T TV Now.and keep your inbox happy.
