Netflix首席执行官Ted Sarandos回应华纳兄弟探索公司出售传闻
摘要
Netflix联合首席执行官Ted Sarandos表示，公司目前没有竞购华纳兄弟探索公司的计划，强调将专注于有机增长。
Netflix联合首席执行官Ted Sarandos表示，这家流媒体巨头并未积极寻求竞购华纳兄弟探索公司（WBD）。在Netflix公布第三季度财报后的分析师电话会议上，Sarandos表示：“为了实现我们对这项业务设定的目标，没有任何事情是必须的。”他强调公司更倾向于有机增长，而非大规模收购，并指出：“我们主要专注于有机增长，积极且负责任地投资于增长，并将自由现金流回馈给股东。”
Sarandos的言论正值WBD宣布其董事会已启动战略方案审查，以应对多方对整个公司及其华纳兄弟部门的非邀请式兴趣。正在考虑的选项包括继续推进计划中的拆分为两家公司——华纳兄弟和Discovery Global，出售整个公司的交易，或分别出售华纳兄弟和/或Discovery Global业务的交易。
有报道称，David Ellison的Paramount Skydance、康卡斯特和Netflix等实体对WBD表现出潜在兴趣。然而，Sarandos重申了Netflix的立场，表示：“我们过去已经非常明确，我们对拥有传统媒体网络没有兴趣，这一点没有改变。但总体而言，我们相信自己能够且将会有所选择。”
