The Walt Disney Company - additional information

The Walt Disney Company is a mass media corporation, initially founded in 1923. The company is most recognized for its film studio, Walt Disney Studios, and for its 14 different theme parks around the world. In addition, it has the highest revenue stream of all media companies, partially attained through many television networks such as ABC, ESPN and the Disney Channel.
The Walt Disney Company earned a global revenue of 67.4 billion U.S. dollars in 2021. The Americas is Disney's best performing geographical region - the company generates roughly 85 percent of their revenue in the U.S., Canada, and Latin America. On the other hand, revenue from Europe accounts for some 10 percent of Disney's global revenues. Asia Pacific, however, manages to generate similar revenues as Europe, also close to10 percent of the total.
When it comes to Walt Disney Company's net income we can observe certain fluctuations since 2017 - mostly due to reorganization of the company aas well as some prominent mergers and acquisitions. In 2020, when the world was struck by the outbreak of the coronavirus, Disney, like many other entertainment companies have suffered on the income front as well. However, in 2021 their net income was already positive. Nevertheless, Walt Disney is constantly increasing its worth, as seen by substantial increase in total assets, currently surpassing 200 billion U.S. dollars.

How much does Disney make a year?

The Walt Disney Company generated a net income of 2.02 billion U.S. dollars in the fiscal year of 2021. This marks a growth of over four billion compared to the previous year when the company suffered a loss due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, as the parks, experiences, and products segment brought in around 10 billion U.S. dollars less in 2020 than in 2019.

Disney’s growing dominance

After a wave of acquisitions in recent years and its plans to launch its own streaming service Disney+ to rival Netflix, Disney’s growth seems almost unstoppable. The company holds stakes in ESPN, acquired 21st Century Fox in 2019 (ten years after its acquisition of Marvel Entertainment) and also took on LucasFilm Ltd.
Opinions on Disney’s expansion are mixed, with diehard Hollywood fans expressing concern that the company’s constant growth and the conglomeration of individual studios will deeply affect content and change the structure of Hollywood. Indeed, this has already happened to an extent, but with so many companies under one umbrella (that is, Disney), it will be curious to see whether the movie industry in particular will change as Disney’s stronghold over the industry increases.
