The price increases and combination with Showtime will take place in the third quarter.

Paramount+ added 9.9 million subscribers during the fourth quarter. In total, Paramount+ reached nearly 56 million customers during the fourth quarter.

While the tough advertising market weighed on Paramount’s earnings, as the company previously warned, the company’s direct-to-consumer streaming business saw an increase of 4%. Advertising revenue fell 5%, a majority of which was attributed to the international market.
