Revenue Down: Corus Entertainment reported consolidated revenue of $397 million for Q3 2023, down 8% year-over-year, mainly due to lower television advertising and subscriber revenues.
Profit Impact: Segment profit fell to $97 million as lower revenues and higher programming costs weighed on results; free cash flow held steady at $26 million.
Cost Cutting: The company reduced headcount by 8% (over 250 positions) and achieved $15 million in general and administrative cost savings during the quarter.
Ad Market Weakness: The ongoing advertising recession continues to pressure financials, with TV ad revenue down 12% and no clear signs of near-term improvement.
Streaming Growth Slows: New digital platforms like STACKTV have plateaued in subscriber growth, but management is testing new marketing campaigns to reignite momentum.
Regulatory Changes: Passage of Bill C-11 and Bill C-18 in Canada are expected to help level the playing field with foreign digital streamers and recognize the value of Canadian news.
Programming Update: Writers’ strike in the US is being actively managed, with Corus relying on a strong pipeline of unscripted and Canadian content to mitigate impact.
