transaction, which was recognized in “interest and other income.” As a reminder, the guidance we provide is our actual internal forecast at the time we report and we strive for accuracy. Our primary financial metrics are revenue for growth and operating margin for profitability. Our goal is to sustain healthy revenue growth, expand operating profit and margin, and deliver growing free cash flow. Our full year 2026 guidance is unchanged: we forecast 2026 revenue of $50.7B-$51.7B, which represents 12%-14% growth (11%-13% F/X neutral), driven by continued healthy membership growth, pricing and a projected rough doubling of our ads revenue. Similarly, we’re still targeting an operating margin of 31.5% for 2026 based on F/X rates as of January 1, 2026 vs. 29.5% in 2025. For Q2, we expect revenue growth of 13% (or 12% F/X neutral). As we noted in last quarter’s letter, growth in content amortization will be first-half weighted due to the timing of title launches. We expect Q2 to have the highest year-over-year content amortization growth rate in 2026, before decelerating to mid-to-high single digit growth in the second half of the year. As a result, we forecast Q2 operating margin of 32.6% compared with 34.1% in the year ago quarter. We expect year-over-year operating margin growth in Q3 and Q4 in order to deliver our 2026 margin target. Our Focus Our mission remains ambitious and unchanged: to entertain the world. No other entertainment company has tried to program at this scale, for this many tastes, cultures, and languages. Warner Bros. would have been a nice accelerant for
