Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements of Netflix, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (the “Company”) have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S.”) and are consistent in all material respects with those applied in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on January 23, 2026. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the amortization of content assets and the recognition and measurement of income tax assets and liabilities. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. On a regular basis, the Company evaluates the assumptions, judgments and estimates. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The interim financial information is unaudited, but reflects all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the information set forth herein. The interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year.

Stock Split

On November 14, 2025, the Company completed a ten-for-one forward stock split of the Company’s issued common stock (the “Stock Split”). Each shareholder as of the record date of November 10, 2025 received nine additional shares of common stock for every share held. References made to share or per share amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and applicable disclosures have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the Stock Split.

Significant Accounting Policies

The following is provided to update the Company’s significant accounting policies previously described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company uses derivative and non-derivative instruments to manage foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk related to its ongoing business operations.

Interest Rate Risk

Fair value hedges

The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements to manage its exposure to changes in the fair value of its fixed-rate debt attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate. These hedges may reduce, but do not entirely eliminate, the effect of interest rate movements, and the Company may choose not to hedge the full amount of its exposure. The Company designates these agreements as fair value hedges of specifically identified tranches of its fixed-rate debt. Changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap instruments are recognized in “Interest expense” on the Consolidated Statements of Operations, net with the offsetting changes in the fair value of the designated hedged debt attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate. Net periodic settlements between the Company and its swap counterparties are recognized as adjustments to “Interest expense” in the period in which they accrue. Cash flows from hedging activities are classified within “Net cash provided by operating activities” on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, consistent with the classification of interest payments on the hedged debt.

See Note 8 Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities to the consolidated financial statements for further information regarding the Company’s derivative and non-derivative financial instruments.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, requiring public entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements on an interim and annual basis. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2024-03.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10, Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities, which establishes authoritative guidance on the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of government grants. Under ASU 2025-10, government grants are recognized when it is probable that the entity will both comply with the conditions of the grant and the grant will be received. The ASU provides specific accounting models for grants related to assets and grants related to income, including options to recognize government grants as deferred income or as a reduction of the asset’s cost basis. The ASU also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature of government grants, significant terms and conditions, accounting policies applied, and amounts recognized in the financial statements. ASU 2025-10 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2028, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2025-10.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements, which clarifies the guidance in Topic 270 to improve the consistency of interim financial reporting. The ASU provides a comprehensive list of required interim disclosures and introduces a disclosure principle requiring entities to disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. ASU 2025-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2025-11.

2. Revenue Recognition

The following table summarizes revenues by region for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025. Total revenues are inclusive of hedging gains (losses) of $(48) million and $(180) million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, and $(37) million and $127 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. See Note 8 Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities for further information.

United States and Canada (UCAN)	$	5,431,667	$	4,929,003	$	10,676,965	$	9,546,101
Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA)	4,033,515		3,538,175		8,031,934		6,942,851

Total Revenues	$	12,559,938	$	11,079,166	$	24,809,695	$	21,621,967

Deferred revenue consists primarily of membership fees billed that have not been recognized, as well as gift cards and other prepaid memberships that have not been fully redeemed. As of June 30, 2026, total deferred revenue was $1,797 million, the vast majority of which was related to membership fees billed that are expected to be recognized as revenue within the next month. Deferred revenue balances related to gift cards and other prepaid memberships will be recognized as revenue over the period of service after redemption, which is expected to occur over the next 12 months. Deferred revenue increased $22 million from $1,776 million as of December 31, 2025 to $1,797 million as of June 30, 2026. Deferred revenue balances may fluctuate due to the number of paid memberships and the price of our memberships.

3. Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of outstanding shares of common stock during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of outstanding shares of common stock and, when dilutive, potential outstanding shares of common stock during the period. Potential outstanding shares of common stock are calculated using the treasury-stock method and consist of incremental shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of stock options and vesting of time-based and performance-based restricted stock units. The computation of earnings per share is as follows:

4. Cash, Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, and Short-term Investments

The Company classifies short-term investments, which consist of marketable securities with original maturities in excess of 90 days as available-for-sale (“AFS”). The Company does not buy and hold securities principally for the purpose of selling them in the near future. The Company’s policy is focused on the preservation of capital, liquidity and return. From time to time, the Company may sell certain securities but the objectives are generally not to generate profits on short-term differences in price.

The following tables summarize the Company’s cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

6. Acquisitions

In March 2026, the Company completed an acquisition which was accounted for as a business combination for a total purchase price of approximately $587 million, consisting of cash consideration.

On December 4, 2025, the Company entered into a definitive agreement and plan of merger with Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. (“WBD”), to acquire WBD’s streaming and studios businesses, including its film and television studios, HBO Max and HBO (such transaction, the “WBD transaction”), which was then amended by the parties thereto on January 19, 2026 (as so amended and restated, the “Amended and Restated Merger Agreement”).

On February 27, 2026, WBD provided notice to the Company that it had terminated the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms in order to enter into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Paramount Skydance Corporation (“PSKY”). Concurrently with the termination of the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement and entry into such agreement between WBD and PSKY, PSKY, on behalf of WBD, paid a $2.8 billion termination fee owed to Netflix in accordance with the terms of the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement. The $2.8 billion termination fee received was recorded in “Interest and other income (expense)” in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations during the first quarter of 2026.

7. Debt

As of June 30, 2026, the Company had aggregate outstanding notes of $14,309 million, net of $49 million of issuance costs and discounts and $14 million of fair value hedging adjustments, with varying maturities (the “Notes”). Of the outstanding balance, $2,484 million, net of issuance costs, is classified as short-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had aggregate outstanding notes of $14,463 million, net of $56 million of issuance costs and discounts. Each of the Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company. Interest is payable semi-annually at fixed rates.

A portion of the outstanding Notes is denominated in foreign currency (comprised of €4,700 million) and is remeasured into U.S. dollars at each balance sheet date (with remeasurement gain, net of hedging impacts, totaling $9 million and $19 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively). See Note 8 Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities to the consolidated financial statements for further information regarding the Company’s derivative and non-derivative financial instruments.

(1) The following Senior Notes have a principal amount denominated in Euros: 3.625% Senior Notes for €1,300 million, 4.625% Senior Notes for €1,100 million, 3.875% Senior Notes for €1,200 million, and 3.625% Senior Notes for €1,100 million.

(2) As of June 30, 2026, the Company designated a portion of its 4.900% Senior Notes and 5.400% Senior Notes as the hedged items in fair value hedging relationships for interest rate risk, using interest rate swap agreements as the hedging instruments. Under these agreements, the Company pays a floating interest rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), effectively converting the fixed-rate debt to floating-rate debt. The floating interest rate on both hedged tranches will vary with changes in SOFR. See Note 8 Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities for further details.

Each of the Notes are repayable in whole or in part upon the occurrence of a change of control, at the option of the holders, at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal plus accrued interest. The Company may redeem the Notes prior to maturity in whole or in part at an amount equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and an applicable premium. The Notes include, among other terms and conditions, limitations on the Company’s ability to create, incur or allow certain liens, and consolidate or merge with, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of the Company’s and its subsidiaries assets, to another person. Certain of the Notes additionally limit the ability to enter into sale and lease-back transactions and create, assume, incur or guarantee additional indebtedness of certain of the Company’s subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all related covenants.

Revolving Credit Facility

On April 12, 2024, the Company entered into a five-year, $3 billion unsecured revolving credit facility that matures on April 12, 2029 (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”), to replace its previous $1 billion unsecured revolving credit facility. As of June 30, 2026, no amounts have been borrowed under the Revolving Credit Agreement.

The borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement bear interest, at the Company’s option, of either (i) a floating rate per annum equal to a base rate (the “Alternate Base Rate”) plus an applicable margin or (ii) a per annum rate equal to an adjusted term SOFR rate (the “Adjusted Term SOFR Rate”) plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for Alternate Base Rate loans will range from 0.00% to 0.25%, and the applicable margin for Adjusted Term SOFR Rate loans will range from 0.75% to 1.25%, each based on the Company’s credit ratings.

The Revolving Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative covenants and negative covenants (and customary baskets and exceptions with respect thereto) for a credit facility of this size and type and requires the Company to maintain a minimum ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense of 3.0 to 1.0 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all related covenants and ratios.

Commercial Paper Program

In May 2025, the Company established a $3 billion commercial paper program (the “Commercial Paper Program”) under which it may issue short-term unsecured commercial paper notes. Net proceeds from this program may be used for general corporate purposes. There were no borrowings outstanding under the Commercial Paper Program as of June 30, 2026.

WBD Financing

On February 27, 2026, upon the termination of the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement, all related financing arrangements to fund the previously proposed WBD transaction were terminated in accordance with their respective terms. No amounts had been borrowed under any of the financing arrangements and the related expenses were not material.

As of June 30, 2026, the pre-tax net accumulated gain on our foreign currency cash flow hedges included in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) on the Consolidated Balance Sheets expected to be recognized in earnings within the next 12 months is $159 million.

Master Netting Agreements

In order to mitigate counterparty credit risk, the Company enters into master netting agreements with its counterparties for its foreign currency exchange contracts and interest rate contracts, which permit the parties to settle amounts on a net basis under certain conditions. The Company has elected to present its derivative assets and liabilities on a gross basis on its Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company also enters into collateral security arrangements with its counterparties that require the parties to post cash collateral when certain contractual thresholds are met. Cash collateral received is presented in “Accrued expenses and other liabilities” representing the Company’s obligation to return counterparty cash collateral. Cash collateral posted is presented in “Other current assets,” representing the Company’s right to reclaim the cash collateral. The Company does not offset the fair value of its derivative instruments against the fair value of cash collateral posted or received.

The potential offsetting effect to the Company’s derivative assets and liabilities under its master netting agreements and collateral security agreements were as follows:


	As of June 30, 2026

9. Commitments and Contingencies

Content

As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $25.1 billion of obligations comprised of $3.9 billion included in “Current content liabilities” and $1.6 billion of “Non-current content liabilities” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and $19.6 billion of obligations that are not reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as they did not yet meet the criteria for recognition.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $24.0 billion of obligations comprised of $4.1 billion included in “Current content liabilities” and $1.6 billion of “Non-current content liabilities” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and $18.4 billion of obligations that are not reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as they did not yet meet the criteria for recognition.

The expected timing of payments for these content obligations is as follows:


	As of
	June 30, 2026		December 31, 2025
	(in thousands)
Less than one year	$	11,939,734	$	11,528,030
Due after one year and through three years	9,546,875		8,376,160
Due after three years and through five years	2,996,885		3,041,538
Due after five years	623,211		1,093,500
Total content obligations	$	25,106,705	$	24,039,228

Content obligations include amounts related to the acquisition, licensing and production of content. Obligations that are in non-U.S. dollar currencies are translated to the U.S. dollar at period end rates. An obligation for the production of content includes non-cancelable commitments under creative talent and employment agreements as well as other production related commitments. An obligation for the acquisition and licensing of content is incurred at the time the Company enters into an agreement to obtain future titles. Once a title becomes available, a content liability is recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Certain agreements include the obligation to license rights for unknown future titles, the ultimate quantity and/or fees for which are not yet determinable as of the reporting date. Traditional film output deals, or certain TV series license agreements where the number of seasons to be aired is unknown, are examples of such license agreements. The Company does not include any estimated obligation for these future titles beyond the known minimum amount. However, the unknown obligations are expected to be significant.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, in the normal course of its operations, the Company is subject to litigation matters and claims, including claims relating to employee relations, business practices and patent infringement. Litigation can be expensive and disruptive to normal business operations. Moreover, the results of complex legal proceedings are difficult to predict and the Company’s view of these matters may change in the future as the litigation and events related thereto unfold. The Company expenses legal fees as incurred. The Company records a provision for contingent losses when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. An unfavorable outcome to any legal matter, if material, could have an adverse effect on the Company’s operations or its financial position, liquidity or results of operations.

The Company is involved in litigation matters not listed herein but does not consider the matters to be material either individually or in the aggregate at this time. The Company’s view of the matters not listed may change in the future as the litigation and events related thereto unfold.

Non-Income Taxes

The Company is routinely under audit by various tax authorities with regard to non-income tax matters. The subject matter of non-income tax audits primarily arises from disputes on the tax treatment and tax rate applied to our revenue in certain jurisdictions. We accrue, as operating expenses, non-income taxes that may result from examinations by, or any negotiated agreements with, these tax authorities when a loss is probable and reasonably estimable.

Guarantees— Indemnification Obligations

In the ordinary course of business, the Company has entered into contractual arrangements under which it has agreed to provide indemnification of varying scope and terms to business partners and other parties with respect to certain matters, including, but not limited to, losses arising out of the Company’s breach of such agreements and out of intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties. In these circumstances, payment may be conditional on the other party making a claim pursuant to the procedures specified in the particular contract.

The Company’s obligations under these agreements may be limited in terms of time or amount, and in some instances, the Company may have recourse against third parties for certain payments. In addition, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and certain of its officers that will require it, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers. The terms of such obligations vary.

It is not possible to make a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential amount of future payments under these or similar agreements due to the conditional nature of the Company’s obligations and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. No amount has been accrued in the accompanying consolidated financial statements with respect to these indemnification obligations.

10. Stockholders’ Equity

Equity Incentive Plans

The Netflix, Inc. 2020 Stock Plan is a stockholder-approved plan that provides for the grant of incentive stock options to employees and for the grant of non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and restricted stock units to employees, directors and consultants.

The following table summarizes the activities related to the Company’s stock options:


	Options Outstanding
	Number of Shares	Weighted- Average Exercise Price (per share)

Vested and exercisable as of June 30, 2026	123,891,603	$	39.21

Restricted Stock Unit Activity

The Company grants time-based restricted stock unit (“RSU”) awards and performance-based restricted stock unit (“PSU”) awards to certain executive officers. RSU awards vest quarterly over a three-year period subject to the executive’s continued employment or service with the Company through the vesting date. PSU awards have performance periods ranging from one to three years and vest depending on the Company’s achievement of predetermined market-based performance targets.

The following table summarizes the activities related to the Company’s unvested RSUs and PSUs:


	Unvested Restricted Stock Units
	Number of Shares	Weighted- Average Grant-Date Fair Value (per share)
Balances as of December 31, 2025	1,585,260	$	98.68
Granted(1)	1,245,383	82.91
Vested(1)	(818,131)	78.78
Forfeited	—	—
Balances as of June 30, 2026	2,012,512	$	97.01

(1) Amounts include 264,300 PSU awards that were granted and 528,600 PSU awards that vested based on the achievement of market-based performance targets during the performance period ended December 31, 2025, but were settled in the first quarter of 2026.

Stock-Based Compensation

Total stock-based compensation expense was $131 million and $272 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, and $81 million and $153 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively.

Stock Repurchases

In March 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program for the Company’s common stock with no expiration date. The Board subsequently approved additional repurchase authorizations in September 2023 and December 2024, and most recently in April 2026, authorized the repurchase of an additional $25 billion of the Company’s common stock. Stock repurchases may be effected through open market repurchases in compliance with Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act, including through the use of trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, privately-negotiated transactions, accelerated stock repurchase plans, block purchases, or other similar purchase techniques and in such amounts as management deems appropriate. The Company is not obligated to repurchase any specific number of shares, and the timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including the Company’s stock price, general economic, business and market conditions, and alternative investment opportunities. The Company may discontinue any repurchases of its common stock at any time without prior notice. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company repurchased 52,934,688 and 66,431,786 shares of common stock, respectively, for an aggregate amount of $4.7 billion and $5.9 billion, respectively (excluding the 1% excise tax on stock repurchases as a result of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022). As of June 30, 2026, $27.1 billion remains available for repurchases. Shares repurchased by the Company are accounted for when the transaction is settled. As of June 30, 2026, there were no unsettled share repurchases. Direct costs incurred to acquire the shares are included in the total cost of the shares.

12. Segment and Geographic Information

The Company operates as one operating segment. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is its co-chief executive officers, who review financial information presented on a consolidated basis. The CODM uses consolidated operating margin and net income to assess financial performance and allocate resources. These financial metrics are used by the CODM to make key operating decisions, such as the determination of the rate at which the Company seeks to grow global operating margin and the allocation of budget between cost of revenues, sales and marketing, technology and development, and general and administrative expenses.

The following table presents selected financial information with respect to the Company’s single operating segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025:
