\n\tAMC Networks<\/a> reported its third-quarter 2025 earnings Friday, revealing a 17% decline in U.S. ad sales for the TV media company and an under 5% reduction in its workforce via voluntary buyout deals.<\/p>\n

\n\tDuring that same period, which ran July-September, paid streaming subscribers rose by 200,000 customers across AMC Networks\u2019 portfolio of brands \u2014 including AMC+, Acorn TV, Shudder, Sundance Now, ALLBLK and HIDIVE \u2014 to reach 10.4 million.<\/p>\n

\n\tOverall, domestic streaming revenue rose 14% to $174 million following a price increase across platforms.<\/p>\n

\n\tAMC\u2019s linear networks include AMC, BBC AMERICA (which includes U.S. distribution and sales for BBC News), IFC, SundanceTV and We TV. The company also owns film distribution labels Independent Film Company and RLJE Films, and in-house studio AMC Studios.<\/p>\n

\n\tWall Street forecast earnings per share (EPS) of 34 cents on $549.3 million in revenue for AMC Networks, according to analyst consensus data provided by LSEG. AMC Networks reported adjusted EPS of 18 cents on $562 million in revenue.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cOur performance in the third quarter marks a key milestone in our transition from a cable networks business to a global streaming and technology focused content company,\u201d AMC Networks CEO Kristin Dolan sad in a letter to shareholders. \u201cStreaming revenue growth accelerated and will represent our largest single source of domestic revenue this year. We again delivered healthy free cash flow and remain on track to achieve our increased outlook of $250 million in free cash for the full year. We have built the components of a modern media business that is nimble, independent and well suited to today\u2019s environment and whatever comes next.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tDuring a call expanding on the quarter in great detail Friday, Dolan announced that less than 5% of AMC Networks\u2019 global workforce recently exited via a voluntary buyout program.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThis program did not have specific financial targets,\u201d Dolan said. \u201cRather, its purpose was to strengthen our talent base and ensure we have the right skills for the future. The result of this initiative is a less than 5% reduction in our total employee base. We are thankful for the contributions of those who have chosen to pursue new opportunities and, of course, those who are driving this new era of the company.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"AMC Networks reported its third-quarter 2025 earnings Friday, revealing a 17% decline in U.S. ad sales for the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":123262,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[56243,156,77550,111,139,69,437],"class_list":{"0":"post-123261","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-amc-networks","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-media-earnings","11":"tag-new-zealand","12":"tag-newzealand","13":"tag-nz","14":"tag-tv"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/123261","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=123261"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/123261\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/123262"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=123261"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=123261"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=123261"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
