However, the company said that its average revenue per membership fell 17% to US$7.69 in the region in FYE2022 .

Last November, it launched a lower-priced, ad-supported plan in 12 markets, including Australia, Japan, and South Korea.

Netflix said that in 2022, it had a total of 231 million paid memberships, generating US$32 billion in revenue. The US$7.8 billion in revenue for Q4 exceeded its initial projections.

Netflix also announced the transition of Reed Hastings, the company’s co-CEO, to executive chair. In his place, Greg Peters has been promoted from COO to co-CEO.

The company also added that it would continue developing additional revenue streams “where membership is just one component of our growth.” Notably, Netflix said it has built a portfolio of 50 games and acquired four game studios this past year to strengthen internal production capabilities.
