The company posted adjusted EPS of $0.18, missing the consensus estimate of $0.34 by 47.41%, while revenue of $561.74 million edged past expectations by 2.27%, though it still marked a 6.3% year-over-year decline. The earnings shortfall reflected the core tension in AMC's business, with domestic advertising revenue plunging 17% to $110.03 million on linear ratings declines, and content licensing falling 27% to $59.45 million on delivery timing. The bright spot was streaming, where revenue surged 14% to $174.00 million within Domestic Operations, with subscribers reaching 10.4 million, and the company now expects streaming to become its largest single source of domestic revenue for the full year. AMC reaffirmed its full-year free cash flow outlook of $250 million, signaling management's confidence in the transition even as analysts maintain broadly cautious ratings on the stock.
Key Takeaways
- • Streaming revenue growth of 14% driven by price increases across services
- • Streaming subscribers grew 2% to 10.4 million
- • Strong ad-supported AMC+ performance on Charter with 850k+ Spectrum TV customers since launch
- • Strong UK and Ireland advertising performance driving international ad revenue growth

“Our 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. Streaming 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's environment and whatever comes next.”
