CNBC原文:
Netflix added millions more subscribers in the fourth quarter than Wall Street expected, helping to send shares of the streamer up after the bell despite a big earnings miss. The company also disclosed that co-CEO Reed Hastings would be stepping down from his position and transitioning to the post of executive chairman. Greg Peters, the company’s chief operating officer has been promoted to co-CEO alongside the already established Ted Sarandos.
网飞在第四季度新增的用户数量比华尔街日报预期的多数百万,这有助于推动这家流媒体公司的股价在收盘后上涨,尽管该公司的收益大幅低于预期。该公司还披露,联合首席执行官里德·哈斯廷斯将辞去他的职位,转而担任执行董事长。该公司的首席运营官格雷格·彼得斯已被提升为联合首席执行官,与已经成为CEO的泰德·萨兰多斯一起共同担任CEO。

Last quarter, the streamer said it was “very optimistic” about its new advertising business. Going forward, Netflix will no longer give subscriber guidance, although it will still report those numbers in future earnings reports. The rationale is that the company is growing its focus on revenue as its primary top line metric instead of membership growth.
上个季度,这家流媒体公司表示,对其新的广告业务“非常乐观”。展望未来,网飞将不再提供用户订阅指导,尽管它仍将在未来的收益报告中报告这些数据。其基本原理是,该公司会越来越关注收入,而不是把会员增长作为主要的收入指标。
