CEO Commentary
CEO David Rawlinson acknowledged the challenging environment, noting continued decline in linear television, volatile consumer confidence, and uncertainty in international trade. Despite the revenue decline, the company achieved a double-digit Adjusted OIBDA margin and made progress on its WIN strategy by growing its social and streaming business to near double-digits as a percentage of QxH revenue, diversified sourcing to mitigate tariff risks, and completed the transition of HSN to the Studio Park campus. He expressed confidence in the long-term growth plan despite the need for time to realize full benefits [2].
