How Is Disney Planning to Boost Hulu’s Content Offerings?
Inside Hulu’s Subscriber Growth amid Netflix’s Dominance (Continued from Prior Part) ## Disney’s control over Hulu The Walt Disney Company (DIS) is set to acquire 21st Century Fox’s (FOXA) film and TV studios, Fox Networks Group, its cable networks such as FX Networks and Fox Sports Regional Networks, and its stakes in National Geographic Partners, its Indian satellite TV businesses such as Star network, and its UK-based satellite TV group Sky, among other key assets. Disney will also gain a bigger stake in Hulu’s streaming services as part of its Fox acquisition deal. Disney, Comcast’s (CMCSA) NBCUniversal, and Fox have 30% stakes each in Hulu. Time Warner, which is now WarnerMedia after AT&T’s (T) acquisition, holds the remaining 10% stake in Hulu. ## Expansion in Hulu’s content offerings Hulu has invested in original content to grow its subscriber base. Hulu only operates in the United States (SPY), and it added 8 million subscribers in the country in 2018, bringing its total to ~25 million. More than original series, Hulu has been focusing on exclusive content offerings. Its subscribers prefer to watch licensed series, such as ER, Lost, and Bob’s Burgers, over original series, such as The Handmaid’s Tale. Disney is also planning to expand Hulu’s content offerings once the Fox deal is completed. Disney’s control over Hulu will help the latter to expand internationally. Hulu will also complement Disney’s DTC (direct-to-consumer) streaming line-up. Disney already has a DTC streaming service called ESPN+, which it launched in April 2018, and it’s set to release a Disney-branded streaming bundle toward the end of 2019. After Disney’s acquisition of Fox’s assets, consumers will have the option of adopting all three streaming services, just sports, or just Disney-branded movies and shows for the family. ## Global OTT content market The growing popularity of OTT (over-the-top) offerings has attracted a lot of consumers to streaming services. As we can see in the chart above, the global OTT content market has been developing rapidly and is expected to touch $245.8 billion by the end of 2028, according to a report by Future Market Insights.

Why Is Hulu Posting Losses despite Its Strong Ad Revenue Growth?
Inside Hulu’s Subscriber Growth amid Netflix’s Dominance (Continued from Prior Part) ## Hulu posting losses According to Hulu, its 2018 advertising revenue rose 45% to nearly $1.5 billion. Hulu is also adding subscribers and investing in original content and licensed series. It’s added 8 million subscribers since January 2018 and nearly 22 million subscribers since January 2012. Despite its strong subscriber growth, the Internet streaming service provider is piling up significant losses for its owners. Though Hulu does not report its numbers, according to the Securities and Exchange Commission filings of its parent companies, Hulu’s annual losses are expected to stand at ~$1.5 billion, much higher than its losses of $920 million in 2017. Reportedly, the company’s losses more than doubled to reach $440 million in the third quarter of 2018 compared to its losses of $207 million in the same quarter of the previous year. ## High content spending Hulu’s losses are rising, as it’s spending billions of dollars to build up its subscriber base amid competition from streaming giants such as Netflix (NFLX), Amazon Prime Video, and other live TV services. Hulu is also offering huge discounts, such as a subscription video on demand plan with ads for just $12 for the first year. Hulu’s shows cater to both adults and kids. Hulu’s dark originals such as The Handmaid’s Tale and Castle Rock have been very popular among adult users. Its offerings blend live TV and a large on-demand selection, including exclusive and original series. In 2019, the Walt Disney Company (DIS) will obtain a 60% holding in Hulu after it closes its acquisition of 21st Century Fox (FOXA). The addition of Fox’s assets will add FX’s and Fox’s programming to Hulu’s robust content portfolio. Disney is also expected to focus on Hulu’s premium content targeted at adults, while its upcoming Disney+ service will be aimed at kids and families. Disney will likely also be looking to expand Hulu to other international markets. Currently, Disney and Fox each hold a 30% stake in Hulu. Comcast’s (CMCSA) NBCUniversal also has a 30% stake, while AT&T’s (T) WarnerMedia has a 10% stake in Hulu.
