Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition

Earnings Press Release

On May 5, 2023 Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. (“Warner Bros. Discovery” or the "Company") released its earnings for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. A copy of Warner Bros. Discovery's press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Trending Schedules

As previously disclosed, on April 8, 2022, Warner Bros. Discovery, formerly known as Discovery, Inc. (“Discovery”), completed the combination (the “Merger”) of Discovery and the WarnerMedia business (the “WarnerMedia Business”) of AT&T Inc. In connection with the completion of the Merger, the Company reevaluated and changed its reportable segments during the quarter ended June 30, 2022. On August 4, 2022, to assist investors in assessing the Company’s historical performance on a basis that reflected the completion of the Merger and change in reportable segments, the Company issued trending schedules (the “Trending Schedules”) which summarized certain unaudited supplemental financial information, including unaudited pro forma combined financial information reflecting the combined results of the Company and the WarnerMedia Business for the periods reflected therein.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, WBD updated the previously issued Trending Schedules to reflect the following change related to Average Revenue Per Subscriber (“ARPU”): Global and International ARPUs reflect a change in methodology. Prior to the period ended March 31, 2023, ARPU was calculated on a constant currency basis using the 2022 Baseline Rate, as defined in note 10 of the Trending Schedules. Beginning with the period ended March 31, 2023, ARPU is calculated on an as-reported basis. Prior periods have been recast to reflect the change in methodology.

A copy of the updated Trending Schedules is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.2, and incorporated herein by reference.

The information in this Item 2.02, including Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 attached hereto, is being furnished pursuant to Item 2.02 and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liability of such section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
