Africa-Press – Tanzania. <\/strong> <\/span>Netflix\u2019s net income surged 82.7% year-on-year in the first quarter of 2026, boosted by a $2.8 billion termination fee linked to a failed Warner Bros. transaction, while revenue rose 16.2%, according to its shareholder letter released late Thursday.<\/p>\n

Revenue climbed to $12.25 billion in the January-March period from $10.54 billion a year earlier, the company said.<\/p>\n

Net income increased to $5.28 billion from $2.89 billion over the same period, while diluted earnings per share rose to $1.23 from $0.66, exceeding the company\u2019s forecast of $0.76.<\/p>\n

Netflix said results were driven by stronger-than-expected operating income and the $2.8 billion termination fee, which was recorded under interest and other income.<\/p>\n

The company said revenue growth was supported by membership gains, higher subscription prices, and increased advertising revenue.<\/p>\n

Operating income rose 18% year-on-year to $3.96 billion, while operating margin improved to 32.3% from 31.7%.<\/p>\n

Netflix expects second-quarter revenue of $12.57 billion, marking a projected 13.5% annual increase. It maintained its full-year 2026 revenue forecast in the range of $50.7 billion to $51.7 billion and kept its operating margin target at 31.5%.<\/p>\n

In the same letter, the company said co-founder Reed Hastings will not seek re-election to the board when his term expires at the annual meeting in June, as he plans to focus on philanthropy and other pursuits.<\/p>\n
