9 Sep, 2026Strategic priorities and business model
Focused on strengthening the subscription business, accelerating advertising growth, and leveraging scale for efficiencies and shareholder value, with these pillars driving recent revenue, EBITDA, and free cash flow growth.
Emphasizes durability of a loyal subscriber base, with over 50% of subscribers retained for more than 10 years, resulting in record low churn and high customer satisfaction.
Growth opportunities identified in both subscription and advertising channels, with smart packaging, pricing strategies, and segmentation supporting revenue and retention.
Optionality around spectrum assets provides medium- to long-term value creation potential.
Recent performance improvements are largely structural, including cost efficiencies and reduced satellite CapEx, supporting confidence in sustained momentum.
Subscription and pricing strategy
Subscription growth is driven by value-added content, segmentation, and the ability to take pricing, with a focus on subscriber revenue growth over pure subscriber count.
Pricing has been increased in back-to-back years while maintaining record low churn, indicating a successful balance between ARPU growth and subscriber retention.
New offerings like the Companion plan and Sports Pass expand content access and target new audiences, supporting both retention and acquisition.
The strategy for 2027 and beyond will continue to prioritize subscriber base durability, economics, and value-added segmentation.
Content and customer engagement
Broad content portfolio spans music, sports, news, comedy, podcasts, and live events, with over 400 live events annually enhancing customer connection and loyalty.
Content strategy is consumer-driven, leveraging data from platforms like 360L to inform programming and marketing decisions.
Sports content, including the new Sports Pass and partnerships, is a key differentiator and area of ongoing investment.
