The satellite audio giant posted revenue of $2.14 billion, a narrow beat against the $2.13 billion consensus, though the figure still represented a 1.8% decline from a year earlier. The earnings picture was rougher: diluted EPS of $0.57 missed the $0.77 consensus by 26.29%, dragged lower by $107 million in impairment, restructuring, and other costs alongside $28 million in legal settlements that had no comparable charges in the prior year. Net income fell to $205 million from $354 million in Q2 2024. Beneath the headline pressure, subscriber loss trends offered a more encouraging signal, with net self-pay losses narrowing to 68,000 from 100,000 a year ago, a 32% improvement that management cited as evidence its retention strategy is gaining traction. Free cash flow rose 27% to $402 million. SiriusXM reaffirmed full-year guidance of approximately $8.50 billion in revenue and approximately $1.15 billion in free cash flow, even as prominent value-oriented investors have been adding to their positions on the pullback.
