Netflix, a major video distribution company in the United States, secured an increase in sales and profits while many people spend their time at home due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection, but the number of members is expected to increase. It fell below.
Netflix announced on the 20th that the financial results from January to last month are about 7,163 million dollars and 770 billion yen in Japanese yen while many people spend at home due to the spread of the new corona virus. In addition to a 24% increase compared to the same period of the year, the final profit was $ 1.707 billion, more than doubled to more than 180 billion yen in Japanese yen.
On the other hand, the number of members in the world was 207 million, an increase of 3.98 million from three months ago, but it was lower than the company's expectation of an increase of 6 million.
The company cites the fact that the number of members has already started to increase due to the spread of the infection from the previous year, and that the production of the works to be distributed has been delayed.
The competition for video distribution is intensifying, with Walt Disney's "Disney +" being the last to start in November, with more than 100 million members.
