Fueled by hundreds of millions of people at home, streaming videowas one of the big winners of the pandemic, with subscription service usage surging.Americansspent 44% more timestreaming video in the fourth quarter of 2020 than they did a year earlier, according to research firm Conviva.\nThe streaming wars really begin now. Media and technology companies will need to show investors they can grow streaming subscribers when everyone isn't stuck inside.\nDetermining winners and losersisn't the easiest task.But a simple way to gauge which companies are doing well -- and which aren't -- is to look at total number of subscribers and average revenue per user, or ARPU. The more, the better.\nThe trouble is not every company reveals those numbers. If a company chooses to obfuscate them, there's probably a reason why. Clarity around subscribers and ARPU may be the clearest indication on who is winning and losing the streaming wars.\nAs the pandemic (hopefully) subsides, here's a snapshot of where the biggest players in the streaming wars stand. The figures are based on each company's most recent quarterly earnings report.\nNetflix\n\n208 million paying subscribers\n74.4 million U.S. and Canada subscribers\nARPU for U.S. and Canada: $14.25\n\nNetflixis the gold standard of transparency. Thecompany breaks outpaying subscribers and ARPU for its U.S.-Canada region, EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa), Latin America and Asia-Pacific. Netflix doesn't take advertising revenue, so it doesn't need to disclose finances related to commercials.\nDisney\n\nDisney+ (including Hotstar): 103.6 million subscribers, $3.99 global ARPU\nHulu SVOD only: 37.8 million subscribers, $12.08 ARPU\nHulu SVOD+Live TV: 3.8 million subscribers, $81.83 ARPU\nESPN+: 13.8 million subscribers, $4.55 ARPU\n\nDisneyissomewhat transparentwith its figures, but not as clear as Netflix. Disney includes the significantly cheaper -- and faster growing -- Indian streaming service Hotstar in its Disney+ numbers rather than clearly breaking out the number of Disney+ customers. The company also hasn't broken out figures per region yet. The Information reported Friday that Disney+ growthmay be stagnating in the U.S. and Canada.\nDisney also doesn't clarify how many of its streaming customers are on a free trial, such as theone-year free deal it offers for some Verizon customers.\nWarnerMedia's HBO and HBO Max\n\n63.9 million global subscribers, 44.2 million U.S. subscribers.\nARPU: $11.72 per month\n\nThere's quite a bit of confusion with HBO's numbers, which AT&T could clarify but has chosen to keep vague. Some pay-TV customers get HBO Max for free because they already pay for HBO. Other AT&T wireless subscribers also get HBO Max included in their bundles. And some HBO watchers don't use -- or haven't discovered -- HBO Max at all.\nThe company has chosen not to say how many people are specifically using HBO Max. But it has given a solid ARPU number -- highlighting the streaming service's relatively high price (and perceived customer value) to investors.\nOf course, AT&T may not have to care for much longer. It'sspinning off WarnerMediato merge with Discovery. The deal is expected to close in the middle of 2022.\nAmazon Prime Video\n\nMore than 200 million global Prime subscribers -- 175 million of which\"streamed shows and movies in the past year.\"\nPrime membership cost: $12.99 per month, $119 per year\n\nAmazondoesn't break out a firm ARPU number or a specific Prime member number, but the company is playing a different game than the other streaming services. Most Prime members probably aren't subscribers just for the video, but instead subscribe for free and fast shipping on Amazon packages, Whole Foods discounts, and other benefits. The lack of disclosure around Prime Video isn't as much of a red flag as it may be for the other streaming services.\nNBCUniversal's Peacock\n\n42 million U.S. \"signups.\"\nARPU: ?\n\nNBCUniversal -- the parent company of CNBC -- hasn't been particularly transparent withPeacockyet. Its streaming service stands apart from the competition because some versions of Peacock are free. The Wall Street Journal reported last weekless than 10 million people pay for Peacock-- either for its $4.99 ad-supported tier or its $9.99 ad-free tier.\nNBCUniversal also hasn't broken out an ARPU figure yet, which would help investors weigh the value of a free subscriber against paying customers. NBCUniversal haspubliclyestimatedan ARPU number across its three tiers of $6 to $7 per month.\nInvestors will also be curious about Peacock's global signups number as it spreads across the world.\nViacomCBS\n\n36 million global subscribers, consisting of Paramount+, Showtime, Noggin, BET+ and others\n50 million global Pluto TV monthly average users\nARPU: ?\n\nViacomCBS doesn't break out Paramount+ subscribers, preferring to lump them in with its other streaming services. It also doesn't give an average revenue per user number for Paramount+ or Pluto TV, though CEO Bob Bakish did sayPluto TV advertising revenue will pass $1 billion in 2022.ViacomCBS also hasn't broken out geographic subscribers, though Chief Financial OfficerNaveen Chopra said\"the significant majority\" of new streaming subscribers were U.S.-based Paramount+ customers.\nStarz\n\n29.5 million global subscribers, 16.7 million of which are streaming\nARPU: About $6per month\n\nStarz is often a forgotten service in the streaming wars, in part because it's not an independent company --Lionsgateowns it --and because its ambitions are more niche. Still, the company's transparency around streaming may suggest it's confident in its future prospects -- or that it wants to be acquired.\nDiscovery\n\n15 million subscribers across all streaming products, 13 million Discovery+ subscribers\nOverall ARPU: About $7 per month\nARPU for ad-supported Discovery+: More than $10 per month\n\nDiscovery was transparent about global subscribers and ARPU in its first quarter earnings, released April 28 -- though it didn't reveal how many of its users signed up through a one-year trial with Verizon.\nDiscoveryalso announced it's merging with WarnerMedia.That's a sign CEO David Zaslav realized his streaming service probably wouldn't have the scale on its own to survive. Hebasically said so himself.\nMerging with WarnerMedia not only gives Zaslav more content to compete with, but also refocuses investor interest. Discovery's streaming performance won't really matter anymore until its deal with WarnerMedia finalizes. Then, the companies must integrate.\nMerging arguably bought Zaslav three years of investor goodwill. Take note, struggling streaming players. Take note.\nApple\n\nApple TV+ global subscribers: ?\nARPU: ?\n\nThe prize for the least transparency goes to Apple, which has revealed almost nothing about Apple TV+ since launching the service in November 2019. Apple gave away Apple TV+ subscriptions for free for a year -- and then extended those free trials. Butmany of those trials are ending, and users will need to decide if they want to spend $4.99 per month on the service. Perhaps Apple is waiting to reveal statistics until it starts getting recurring revenue from users.\nThen again, there's a reason Apple extended the free trials to begin with -- the service is very light on content, especially with many original series delayed during the pandemic. Apple doesn't have the movie and TV library to compete with the other streaming players, making $4.99 per month offer seem unreasonable.\nThat's a long-winded way of saying: don't expect too much clarity from Apple in the quarters to come either.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":136,"commentLimit":10,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"symbols":[],"verified":2,"subType":0,"readableState":1,"langContent":"EN","currentLanguage":"EN","warmUpFlag":false,"orderFlag":false,"shareable":true,"causeOfNotShareable":"","featuresForAnalytics":[],"commentAndTweetFlag":false,"andRepostAutoSelectedFlag":false,"upFlag":false,"length":14,"xxTargetLangEnum":"ORIG"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"isTiger":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"url":"/m/post/154249128"}
