  • Streaming revenue rose 48% year-over-year:
    • Streaming subscription revenue grew 84% year-over-year, reflecting strong subscriber growth from the company's streaming subscription services.
    • Streaming advertising revenue grew 26% year-over-year, driven by growth in advertising on Pluto TV and Paramount+.
  • Theatrical revenue reflects the fourth quarter release of Clifford The Big Red Dog, and the third quarter release of PAW Patrol: The Movie, while the prior-year period was impacted by the closure or reduced capacity of movie theaters in response to Covid.
  • Licensing and other revenue increased 45% year-over-year, reflecting a higher volume of licensing, including from the comparison against the impact in 2020 from Covid-related production shutdowns.

SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURES REGARDING NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES(Unaudited; in millions, except per share amounts)

Results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 included certain items identified as affecting comparability. Adjusted operating income before depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted OIBDA"), adjusted earnings from continuing operations before income taxes, adjusted provision for income taxes, adjusted net earnings from continuing operations attributable to ViacomCBS, and adjusted diluted EPS from continuing operations (together, the "adjusted measures") exclude the impact of these items and are measures of performance not calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). We use these measures to, among other things, evaluate our operating performance. These measures are among the primary measures used by management for planning and forecasting of future periods, and they are important indicators of our operational strength and business performance. In addition, we use Adjusted OIBDA to, among other things, value prospective acquisitions. We believe these measures are relevant and useful for investors because they allow investors to view performance in a manner similar to the method used by our management; provide a clearer perspective on our underlying performance; and make it easier for investors, analysts and peers to compare our operating performance to other companies in our industry and to compare our year-over-year results.

Because the adjusted measures are measures of performance not calculated in accordance with GAAP, they should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, operating income, earnings from continuing operations before income taxes, provision for income taxes, net earnings from continuing operations attributable to ViacomCBS or diluted EPS from continuing operations, as applicable, as indicators of operating performance. These measures, as we calculate them, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.

The following tables reconcile the adjusted measures to their most directly comparable financial measures in accordance with GAAP.

(d) The weighted average number of common shares outstanding used in the calculation of reported diluted EPS from continuing operations were 662 million and in the calculation of adjusted diluted EPS from continuing operations were 650 million. These amounts differ because adjusted diluted EPS excludes the effect of the assumed conversion of our Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock into shares of common stock since the impact would have been antidilutive. As a result, in the calculation of adjusted diluted EPS, the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding does not include the assumed issuance of shares upon conversion of preferred stock, and preferred stock dividends recorded during the three months ended December 31, 2021 of $14 million are deducted from net earnings from continuing operations.

обзор выручки за четвертый квартал

  • Партнерский доход увеличился на 2% по сравнению с прошлым годом, отражая более высокую обратную компенсацию, расширенное распространение и повышение ставок, что частично компенсируется снижением числа подписчиков.
  • Доход от стриминга вырос на 48% по сравнению с прошлым годом:
    • Доход от стриминговой подписки вырос на 84% по сравнению с прошлым годом, что отражает значительный рост числа подписчиков от стриминговых сервисов подписки компании.

  • Доходы от лицензирования и другие доходы выросли на 45% по сравнению с прошлым годом, что отражает более высокий объем лицензирования, в том числе по сравнению с последствиями остановок производства, связанных с Covid, в 2020 году.

Кроме того, НФЛ НА CBS в среднем смотрели более 18 миллионов зрителей, больше, чем любой спортивный, развлекательный или новостной сериал в прайм-тайм на любой сети в этом сезоне.
  • Выручка выросла на 18% по сравнению с прошлым годом, отражая рост всех потоков доходов.
    • Доходы от рекламы увеличились на 2% по сравнению с прошлым годом, в основном за счет повышения цен и увеличения количества оригинальных программ, что частично компенсируется снижением политической рекламы.
    • Партнерский доход вырос на 5% по сравнению с прошлым годом благодаря росту обратной компенсации.
    • Доход от стриминга вырос на 64% по сравнению с прошлым годом, что отражает рост числа подписчиков и рекламы в Paramount+.
    • Доходы от лицензирования и другие доходы выросли на 51% по сравнению с прошлым годом, что отражает более высокий объем лицензирования, в том числе по сравнению с последствиями остановок производства, связанных с Covid, в 2020 году.

  • В четвертом квартале ViacomCBS сохранил лидерство в портфолио № 1 по доле просмотра среди ключевых демонстраций (P2+, P12–17, P18–34, P18–49, P25–54) и владел серией кабельных каналов № 1 с Йеллоустоуном и # 1 кабельная серия среди К2-11 с Щенячьим патрулем.
  • Выручка увеличилась на 17% по сравнению с прошлым годом, отражая рост всех потоков доходов.
    • Доходы от рекламы немного увеличились по сравнению с прошлым годом, поскольку выгоды от повышения цен и приобретения Chilevisión были в значительной степени компенсированы более низкими линейными показами.
    • Партнерский доход вырос на 1% по сравнению с прошлым годом, отражая более высокие доходы от расширенного распространения vMVPD, повышения ставок и событий бокса с оплатой за просмотр, что частично компенсируется снижением числа подписчиков.
    • Доходы от потоковой передачи увеличились на 40% по сравнению с прошлым годом, в основном за счет роста доходов от рекламы от Pluto TV, а также роста числа подписчиков на услуги потоковой передачи по подписке.
    • Лицензионные и другие доходы выросли на 87% по сравнению с прошлым годом, в основном за счет увеличения объема лицензирования, в первую очередь за счет лицензирования программ для Paramount+.
  • Скорректированная OIBDA снизилась на 34% по сравнению с прошлым годом, отражая увеличение инвестиций в международные стриминговые сервисы и увеличение количества оригинальных программ.

снятое развлечение

  • Выручка выросла на 61% по сравнению с прошлым годом благодаря более высоким доходам от кинотеатров и лицензий.
    • Театральные доходы включают выручку от выпуска фильма «Большой рыжий пес Клиффорда» в четвертом квартале и фильма « Щенячий патруль: фильм » в третьем квартале, в то время как на период предыдущего года повлияло закрытие или сокращение вместимости кинотеатров в ответ на Covid.
    • Доходы от лицензирования и другие доходы выросли на 54 % по сравнению с прошлым годом благодаря увеличению объема лицензирования, в том числе для наших собственных потоковых сервисов, а также благодаря сравнению с последствиями остановок производства, связанных с Covid, в 2020 году.
  • Скорректированная OIBDA увеличилась на 36 миллионов долларов по сравнению с прошлым годом, отражая более высокую прибыль от лицензирования нашего контента, частично компенсируемую более высокими расходами на распространение из-за сроков выхода кинотеатров.

ДОПОЛНИТЕЛЬНАЯ ИНФОРМАЦИЯ О ФИНАНСОВЫХ ПОКАЗАТЕЛЯХ, НЕ ОТНОСЯЩИХСЯ К GAAP (неаудировано; в миллионах, за исключением сумм, приходящихся на акцию)

Результаты за три и двенадцать месяцев, закончившихся 31 декабря 2021 и 2020 годов, включали определенные элементы, которые были определены как влияющие на сопоставимость. Скорректированная операционная прибыль до износа и амортизации («Скорректированная OIBDA»), скорректированная прибыль от продолжающейся деятельности до налогообложения, скорректированный резерв по налогу на прибыль, скорректированная чистая прибыль от продолжающейся деятельности, относящаяся к ViacomCBS, и скорректированная разводненная прибыль на акцию от продолжающейся деятельности (вместе «скорректированные показатели») исключают влияние этих статей и представляют собой показатели эффективности, рассчитанные не в соответствии с общепринятыми принципами бухгалтерского учета в Соединенных Штатах Америки («ОПБУ»). Мы используем эти показатели, помимо прочего, для оценки нашей операционной деятельности. Эти показатели являются одними из основных показателей, используемых руководством для планирования и прогнозирования будущих периодов, и они являются важными показателями нашей операционной мощи и эффективности бизнеса. Кроме того, мы используем скорректированную OIBDA, помимо прочего, для оценки потенциальных приобретений. Мы считаем, что эти меры актуальны и полезны для инвесторов, поскольку они позволяют инвесторам оценивать результаты аналогично методу, используемому нашим руководством; предоставить более четкое представление о нашей базовой производительности; и упростить для инвесторов, аналитиков и коллег сравнение наших операционных показателей с другими компаниями в нашей отрасли и сравнение наших результатов за год.

Поскольку скорректированные показатели являются показателями деятельности, не рассчитанными в соответствии с GAAP, их не следует рассматривать отдельно или вместо операционных доходов, доходов от продолжающейся деятельности до налогообложения, резерва по налогу на прибыль, чистой прибыли от продолжающихся операций. операций, относящихся к ViacomCBS, или разводненной прибыли на акцию от продолжающихся операций, в зависимости от обстоятельств, в качестве показателей операционной эффективности. Эти показатели, как мы их рассчитываем, могут быть несопоставимы с аналогичными показателями, используемыми другими компаниями.

В следующих таблицах скорректированные показатели сопоставляются с их наиболее непосредственно сопоставимыми финансовыми показателями в соответствии с GAAP.

(a) Reflects severance costs associated with changes in management at certain of our businesses.

(b) Primarily reflects gains on the sales of CBS Studio Center and 51 West 52nd Street, an office tower that was formerly the headquarters of CBS  ("51 West 52nd Street").

(c) Principally reflects the recognition of a capital loss associated with a change in the tax entity classification of a foreign subsidiary.

(d) The weighted average number of common shares outstanding used in the calculation of reported diluted EPS from continuing operations were 662 million and in the calculation of adjusted diluted EPS from continuing operations were 650 million. These amounts differ because adjusted diluted EPS excludes the effect of the assumed conversion of our Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock into shares of common stock since the impact would have been antidilutive. As a result, in the calculation of adjusted diluted EPS, the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding does not include the assumed issuance of shares upon conversion of preferred stock, and preferred stock dividends recorded during the three months ended December 31, 2021 of $14 million are deducted from net earnings from continuing operations.
