As ever, when the going gets tough in pay TV, executives point to positive signs when it comes to churn — or the lack thereof.

Peters emphasized that the churn rate of subscribers moving on and off the platform was better than expected in the U.S. and elsewhere for the quarter, especially after the streamer initiated a price hike.

Popular on Variety Peters emphasized that “the quality, quantity and variety of viewing remains healthy and it drives our business model. And the best evidence that we’ve got that we’re delivering that value is churn.

We’ve got healthy retention in every region,” he said. For the quarter ended Sept.

30, the level of churn improved on a global basis and in the U.S. “The ultimate determinant of are we delivering that value is the reaction to price changes.

And those recent price changes that we did, including in the United States, have gone well. We’ve seen results that are consistent with past changes,” Peters said.

Most of the regions outside the U.S. delivered strong viewing and engagement, he added.

“Our local titles from those regions are driving engagement and they’re driving business growth. And you can see how our business model works here.

We specifically highlighted India, which had a strong slate with a couple titles really, really performing. And as a result, view hours in Q3 in India grew 24% on an absolute basis,” Peters said.

“They were also up on a per-member basis, all of which drives membership.” As the dust settles on the management shake-up, Sarandos told analysts that they are laser-focused on nurturing shows to stand out as hits. “We had some really solid doubles and triples this year, but the other territories count on some of those titles being home runs so that they’ll travel around the world.

We’re focusing on that execution,” Sarandos said. “India is a great example, but that success is also happening in Korea and Japan.

And when you look to [Europe, the Middle East and Africa], when we look to the Nordics, which is a very mature market for us, that content slate is killing it there.
