NBCUniversal appoints Christopher Halpin as CFO ahead of Comcast spin-off

NBCUniversal has appointed Christopher Halpin as chief financial officer ahead of its spin-off from Comcast. Halpin, previously COO and CFO of People Inc., will report to Comcast Co-CEO Mike Cavanagh, who is set to become CEO of NBCU after the separation. He will start on 8 September. Comcast expects to complete the split by next summer, establishing NBCU as a standalone publicly traded entity similar to its previous spin-off of Versant. Current CFO Randy Culbertson will transition to a new role to be announced soon. At People, Halpin oversaw corporate finance, accounting, M&A, and investor relations. He previously spent nearly a decade at the NFL as chief strategy and growth officer.

Universal Orlando attendance softens but Comcast stays optimistic about Epic Universe

Universal Orlando's attendance declined in the second quarter of 2025, though Comcast executives remain optimistic about the tourism industry. Theme park revenue worldwide rose 2.7% to $2.41 billion for the April-May-June period, up from $2.34 billion. Attendance began softening in June and remained pressured into the third quarter, according to CFO Jason Armstrong. However, Epic Universe, which opened in late May 2025, continues meeting expectations with strong guest response and higher per-capita spending. Co-CEO Michael Cavanaugh attributed the decline to weakness in consumer sentiment and higher travel costs affecting demand broadly across Orlando, not specific issues with Epic Universe. The earnings report follows Comcast's announcement to spin off NBCUniversal, including the theme parks, into a separate public company within approximately one year.

Peacock turns first profit with $189M EBITDA as Comcast prepares NBCUniversal spinoff

Peacock, NBCUniversal's streaming service, has turned a profit for the first time since launching in 2020. The platform reported earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation of $189 million in the second quarter. Paid subscribers grew 4% to 48 million, with popular content including the FIFA World Cup, NBA playoffs, and "Love Island USA" driving growth. The milestone comes as Comcast prepares to spin off NBCUniversal entertainment and news media businesses into a separate company within approximately one year. Peacock was the last major premium subscription video-on-demand service from a legacy studio to reach profitability. However, its reach remains smaller than rivals like Netflix, which has about 80 million households in the US and Canada.

Peacock hits first quarterly profit at $189M on World Cup boost, adds 2M subscribers

Comcast's Peacock streaming service reported its first quarterly profit on Thursday, posting adjusted EBITDA of $189 million for the April-June quarter. This represents a $290 million improvement from the same period last year, when the service posted a $101 million loss. Peacock added 2 million paid subscribers during the quarter, bringing its total to 48 million, far exceeding analyst expectations of roughly 500,000 additions. Revenue rose to $1.9 billion, up from $1.2 billion in the prior-year period. The FIFA World Cup, NBA playoffs, and Love Island USA drove subscriber growth and advertising revenue. The World Cup alone contributed $440 million in incremental revenue to Comcast's media segment. The milestone comes as Comcast prepares to spin off NBCUniversal and Sky into a separate publicly traded company.
