Details: On Tuesday, Disney CEO Bob Chapek said in a letter to investors that the company expects its streaming unit&#x27;s operating losses &quot;to narrow going forward and that Disney+ will still achieve profitability in fiscal 2024,&quot; assuming the economy doesn&#x27;t shift meaningfully. Last quarter, Disney lost $1.47 billion on its direct-to-consumer streaming division, more than double the amount it lost the same quarter the year prior. Disney blamed the increased expenses on revenue losses at Disney+ and a decrease in results at Hulu.

Losses, it said, were partially offset by improved results at ESPN+. Disney said that the average monthly revenue per paid subscriber (ARPU) last quarter in the U.S. for Disney+, for Disney+ Hotstar in India and for Hulu&#x27;s on-demand service was down compared to the same quarter the year prior.

Some of those losses were attributable to lower per-subscriber ad revenue. ESPN remained a bright spot, with marginal increases in ARPU.

The big picture: Streaming continues to be a core focus for Disney, but its parks and resorts division last quarter proved to be far more resilient. Disney said record revenues for its parks, experiences and products segment, but it lost revenue in its media and entertainment division compared to the same quarter the year prior.
