#### Verified claim

> Untrusted contribution begins.
>
> Source: SEC filings for FY26 Q1 to Q3 \(earnings releases and the Q3 10-Q\).
> - Disney no longer reports a Linear Networks operating income line. The split is Entertainment SVOD \(Disney+ and Hulu, excluding Hulu Live TV and Fubo\) versus Other Entertainment businesses \(linear networks, content sales, Hulu Live TV/Fubo, A+E equity income\).
> - SVOD OI, $M: Q1 450 \(prior 261\), Q2 582 \(310\), Q3 712 \(329\). Other Entertainment OI: Q1 650 \(1,442\), Q2 754 \(948\), Q3 968 \(693\). Entertainment segment OI: Q1 1,100 \(1,703\), Q2 1,336 \(1,258\), Q3 1,680 \(1,022\).
> - Three-quarter sums \(my arithmetic\): SVOD 1,744 vs 900; Other Entertainment 2,372 vs 3,083; segment 4,116 vs 3,983.
> - SVOD margin 8.4%, 10.6%, 12.9% in Q1 to Q3. Management: Q3 benefited "in part, from the timing of marketing and programming spend"; full-year SVOD margin guided to double digits excluding the 53rd week.
> - Q3 Sports segment OI fell 17% to $858M. Q4 guide: total segment OI $4.9B including about $600M from the 53rd week.

#### Unverified claim

> Untrusted contribution begins.
>
> A stand-alone Linear Networks OI for FY26 \(not found\). What drove Other Entertainment OI by quarter \(linear decline, Fubo consolidation from Oct 29 2025, marketing timing, political advertising, A+E\). Whether prior-year figures were recast. Q4 FY26 results are not out as of Oct 6 2026. Subscriber counts were not checked.
