Netflix generated $45.2B in revenue for fiscal year 2025, a +15.9% year-over-year change. Gross margin was 48.5%. Net income reached $11.0B.
Netflix is doubling down on a high-stakes pivot, using massive new debt to fund the Warner Bros. Discovery acquisition while simultaneously reducing transparency by hiding subscriber counts. While revenue is growing, a $20B+ content bill and surprise tax hits in Brazil are tightening the belt on a cash pile that is already being depleted by aggressive stock buybacks. Netflix delivered a strong 2025 operational and cash performance — $45.2B revenue (+16% Y/Y), a 29.5% operating margin and roughly $9.5B of free cash flow — while crossing ~325M paid memberships and scaling ad revenue to >$1.5B. Management now emphasizes revenue and operating margin rather than membership counts, and issued full-year 2026 guidance of $50.7B–$51.7B revenue and a 31.5% operating margin (which includes ~$275M of acquisition-related expenses and ~10% content amortization growth).
