"Netflix generated $12.25 billion in revenue for the first quarter of 2026, which is a 16% increase year-over-year compared to 2025. The growth was attributed to price increases, higher membership growth, and increased ad revenue."
"Roughly 60% of new sign-ups in Q1 came through the ad-supported plan, which only costs $8.99 per month compared to the ad-free tier at $19.99. This indicates a significant shift towards ad-supported revenue models."
"The success of the World Baseball Classic, which Netflix secured exclusive streaming rights for in Japan, drove the single largest sign-up day ever in the region, providing a boost for ad sales."
"Netflix's advertising base has grown 70% year-over-year and now includes over 4,000 clients. Programmatic ad buying currently makes up 50% of non-live ad sales, with plans to increase this further."
Netflix's CFO stated that walking away from the Warner Bros. Discovery deal will have no material impact on the company's operating margin.

The World Baseball Classic contributed significantly to new sign-ups in Japan.
