Paramount+ with Showtime is set to launch in the third quarter.<\/p>\n While the integration is anticipated to generate around $700 million in future annual expense savings, which Paramount announced last quarter, it also resulted in a programming charge of $1.7 billion in Q1, the company said Thursday.<\/p>\n \u201cIn connection with our plan to integrate Showtime into Paramount+ and initiatives to rationalize and right-size our international operations to align with our streaming strategy and close or globalize certain of our international channels, during the first quarter of 2023, we reviewed our content portfolio and determined that we would not use certain content on our platforms,\u201d the company wrote in its letter to shareholders.<\/p>\n \u201cAccordingly, we recorded programming charges, which were comprised of impairment charges for content removed from our platforms or abandoned, development cost write-offs, and contract termination costs,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n As part of the integration, the company previously revealed it would raise\u00a0subscription prices.<\/p>\n Paramount+ gained 4.1 million subscribers in Q1, bringing the total to 60 million, up from 56 million subs<\/a> in Q4 2022. The company attributed the global subscriber growth to its robust content library, such as \u201cStar Trek: Picard,\u201d the return of \u201cMayor of Kingstown,\u201d \u201cTeen Wolf: The Movie\u201d and more.<\/p>\n Paramount also reported Thursday a $1.1 billion loss and revenue of $7.3 billion, missing analyst expectations of $7.4 billion. Meanwhile, Paramount+ revenue increased 65% year-over-year.<\/p>\n During the earnings call, the company said it expects healthy subscription revenue growth over the next several quarters as a result of Paramount+ combining with Showtime.<\/p>\n The company recently announced<\/a> that it is set to begin production for \u201cStar Trek: Section 31\u201d later this year. The original movie will be the first Star Trek film based on a character from \u201cStar Trek: Discovery\u201d and the first Star Trek movie to center on a single character.<\/p>\n
