Netflix profits jump as subscribers pass 40 million

From: http://www.bbc.co.uk

TV and film streaming service Netflix has seen global subscriber numbers surge past 40 million and profits jump, thanks in part to its popular original programmes.

The firm behind prison drama Orange is the New Black said its net profit rose to $32m (£19.8m) in the three months to the end of September.

In the same period a year earlier, it made a profit of £7m.

Shares in the firm rose 10% in after-hours trading on Monday.

'Compelling content'

Netflix executives said its investment in original programmes had helped to drive profit. Its other self-produced shows included political drama House Of Cards.

It now plans to double its investment in original content, but said it would still account for less than 10% of the overall output it offers.
