Weak H2-23 and continued weakness into H1-24

This has meant there will be a one-off reduction in utilisation in H1-FY24 before returning to a full second half, more in line with pre-strike levels.

Netflix stays ahead by focusing on the numbers
The streaming group added 13.1m subscribers in the three months to the end of December, its largest fourth-quarter subscriber growth on record

The streaming group added 13.1m subscribers in the three months to the end of December, its largest fourth-quarter subscriber growth on record, easily beating a consensus forecast of 8.97m. Analysts have forecast net new subscribers of 4.1m for the March quarter, albeit still far ahead of the 1.8m added over the same period last year. For the fourth quarter this year, 6.2m new subscribers are forecast. The question is whether Netflix can hold the balance between spending on content and recapturing a greater share of the global streaming market. Nevertheless, the market’s growing confidence looks to be more firmly grounded than it has done for some time.

Hollywood actors' union Sag-Aftra ratifies strike-ending contract
BBC News: 6 December 2023

The Screen Actors Guild (SAG) said 78% of members voted in favour of the multi-year contract. Actors won $1bn (£790m) in new compensation and benefits as well as protections from studios' use of AI. Union president Fran Drescher said: "This is a golden age for Sag-Aftra, and our union has never been more powerful." The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP), which represents studios including Netflix and Walt Disney, said "the industry and the jobs it supports will be able to return in full force" now the three-year contract had been ratified.

Are you on crack?

[oldboy1] 09/11/2023 13:49

another SCSW recommendation coming good. Very nice to be see this upward movement. Lots small caps doing well at the moment

[qs99] 09/11/2023 09:09

great thanks both, glad to be on a board with you both on it!

Look forward to some decent share price appreciation and trust level heads can formalise the tentative agreement...DYOR

[rivaldo] 09/11/2023 09:04

Amazing how fast things change in a couple of days :o))

Well done Mas and other holders. Only a "tentative" deal at present, as still to be approved, and the schedules will take some time to normalise, but at least the way forward is now almost clear.

[masurenguy] 09/11/2023 08:55

Some upward momentum returning on the back of that strike settlement. I have waited patiently here for the Netflix password issue to be resolved and both the writers and actors strike to end. During that time the shareprice has held up reasonably well over such a negative period and this morning it is already up 10% and I'm almost back to breakeven. With the kickstart of new productions over the next few months ADF is now looking good value going forward ! 👍

[qs99] 09/11/2023 08:47

Thanks, looks really interesting again on the back of that DYOR

Striking Actors and Hollywood Studios Agree to a Deal

The agreement all but ends one of the longest labor crises in the history of the entertainment industry. Union members still have to approve the deal. One of the longest labor crises in Hollywood history is finally coming to an end. SAG-AFTRA, the union representing tens of thousands of actors, reached a tentative deal for a new contract with entertainment companies on Wednesday, clearing the way for the $134 billion American movie and television business to swing back into motion.

[rivaldo] 07/11/2023 10:55

It's hard to understand how ADF's shares have held up so well. Today's news is that:

"Hollywood strike goes on as actors reject ‘last, best and final’ offer".

Holders will have had plenty of chances to exit with this H2's results certain to be extremely lacklustre, and the article below points to "dangerously thin" schedules for next year.

On the face of it ADF look very cheap on next year's forecasts, but surely those forecasts will have to be cut. And it's not as if ADF are exactly flush with cash, so their financing/borrowing position will be interesting.

In normal conditions ADF look a good company, but normal conditions seem unlikely for some time now:



"Hollywood studios and cinema chains are desperate to end the strike, which has stopped production and forced chief executives to delay major releases, leaving the 2024 film calendar dangerously thin"

Netflix password crackdown expected to drive revenue acceleration in 3Q

Netflix Inc (NFLX) is expected to report growth on both the top and bottom lines when it hands down its third quarter financial results after the closing bell on Wednesday, October 18. The streaming service expects to report earnings per share for the quarter of $3.52, up from $3.10 in the same period last year. Wall Street analysts, however, expect Netflix to report EPS of $3.47. Both the company and analysts expect revenue of about $8.5 billion, which represents year-over-year growth of 7.5%.

[cumbrian2] 09/10/2023 10:26

Was tipped at the weekend in SCSW. Expecting a number year next year with writers strike resolved and backlog of productions to catch up

[masurenguy] 09/10/2023 09:57

Interesting rise this morning based on a small trading volume - circa 70,000 shares - and no news!

[petes5] 28/9/2023 08:46

Not too sure what the big studios want here. Within a few years AI will be doing most of the writing. I think they are simply testing the water to see how hard they can push and it really depends on the support from the actors who cannot really be replaced. AI is out of the box and jobs like writing will go.

[ali47fish] 28/9/2023 08:26

you're right
