This is a slight increase from Q1 2023, when Disney saw earnings of 99 cents per share on $23.51 billion in revenue. Estimated revenue for this quarter was projected slightly higher at $23.64 billion. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter increased $0.70 to $1.04 from the prior-year quarter. Excluding certain items, diluted EPS for the quarter increased to $1.22 from $0.99 in the prior-year quarter.
Disney CEO Bob Iger stated during the last quarter’s call that the company expected to save $7.5 billion total from cost-cutting efforts by the end of fiscal year 2024.
The earnings report and Wednesday’s earnings call come during the lead-up to what is sure to be an interesting annual shareholders meeting on April 3. Nelson Peltz’s Trian Fund Management group and Blackwells Capital have both put forth nominations for the Disney Board of Directors, citing concerns about the falling stock price.
Trian estimates investors have lost $200 billion in the past three years and said in a white paper letter, “Disney’s strategic missteps and declining financial performance can be laid at the feet of its Board, which we believe lacks focus, alignment and accountability.”
