AMC Networks Takes $269 Million Balance-Sheet Hit

AMC Networks recently released its fourth-quarter 2024 earnings report, which highlighted a significant devaluation of $268.7 million in the company’s U.S. cable channel business. This business segment includes popular channels such as AMC, BBC America, IFC, SundanceTV, WE tv, and IFC Films.

On a positive note, AMC Networks reported an 8% increase in U.S. streaming revenue during the last quarter of the year. The company’s total combined streaming subscribers reached 12.4 million by the end of 2024, encompassing platforms like AMC+, Acorn TV, Shudder, Sundance Now, ALLBLK, and HIDIVE.

Throughout the year, AMC Networks incurred a total of $399.5 million in impairment and other charges. This included the $268.7 million goodwill charge for its domestic operations, a $102 million charge for its international division AMCNI, and a $29.2 million charge for long-lived asset impairment at BBC America, which was fully acquired by AMC Networks in November.

According to AMC Networks, the decrease in estimated fair values was influenced by current trends in the media industry, such as ongoing softness in the domestic linear marketplace and the international television broadcasting markets. This led to lower expected future cash flows and a decrease in valuation multiples.

Additionally, restructuring and other related charges for the year amounted to $49.5 million, with a significant portion allocated to content impairment charges and severance costs. The acquisition of BBC America prompted a restructuring charge of $43.2 million, along with additional content charges related to strategic shifts at WE tv.

In terms of revenue, AMC Networks saw an 11% decrease in domestic revenue, totaling $520 million. Subscription revenue dropped by 4%, while streaming revenue increased by 8%. International revenue also declined by 14%, with ad sales showing a notable increase due to a one-time retroactive adjustment in the U.K.

Despite these financial challenges, CEO Kristin Dolan expressed optimism in the company’s performance, highlighting the achievement of full-year guidance and strong free cash flow generation. Dolan emphasized the importance of innovative partnerships, high-quality content delivery, and targeted advertising strategies in driving AMC Networks forward in a rapidly evolving media landscape.

In conclusion, AMC Networks’ financial results for 2024 reflect both challenges and opportunities as the company navigates the changing dynamics of the media industry. With a focus on strategic initiatives and content excellence, AMC Networks remains poised for continued growth and success in the years ahead.
