Вывод Buzzberg

UFC partnership exceeded expectations with strong engagement and demographics.

Paramount Skydance reported a strong start to the year, highlighting successes in film (Scream 7), streaming (Landman), and sports (UFC), alongside progress on its technology stack and content slate. Management is largely focused on integrating current assets and laying the groundwork for the WBD acquisition expected to close later this year. Paramount+ revenue grew 17% YoY in Q1, driven by 14% ARPU growth from price increases and a shift in subscriber mix, though overall subscriber additions were impacted by the exit of uneconomic international bundles.

UFC subscribers on Paramount+ are 15 years younger than the average viewer, and the platform saw over 100 million viewing hours, indicating the deal is driving demographic shift and engagement.

A2

Paramount's DTC revenue growth is being driven by ARPU increases, not subscriber adds, as the company churns out low-value international 'hard bundle' subscribers to optimize revenue.
