Description: WBD Warner Bros Discovery

Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) is a global media and entertainment firm organized into three operating segments: Studios, Network, and Direct-to-Consumer (DTC). The Studios segment creates theatrical films, licenses TV programming, and distributes content across theatrical, broadcast, home-entertainment, and interactive gaming channels. The Network segment owns and operates a suite of domestic and international linear television properties, while the DTC segment delivers premium pay-TV and streaming services directly to subscribers.

The company’s content portfolio spans iconic franchises and brands-including Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group, HBO/Max, Discovery Channel, CNN, DC Comics, Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, and Friends-distributed via linear networks, free-to-air, digital platforms, and subscription products. This breadth provides cross-selling opportunities and diversified revenue streams across advertising, licensing, and subscription fees.

Key recent metrics (Q2 2024) show total revenue of approximately $7.5 billion, with streaming subscribers nearing 97 million globally and advertising revenue down 5 % year-over-year, reflecting broader ad-spend softness in the media sector. The business remains sensitive to macro-economic drivers such as discretionary consumer spending, corporate advertising budgets, and the ongoing “cord-cutting” trend that pressures traditional pay-TV revenue but fuels streaming growth. WBD’s leverage remains elevated at roughly $25 billion of net debt, making cash-flow generation and cost-synergy execution critical for financial stability.
