Sony Music’s overall revenue rose 20% year on year, while HYBE reported record quarterly revenue of 1.45 trillion Korean won (£? no conversion avoid) ($987 million) and operating profit of 170.9 billion won ($116 million). Live Nation increased quarterly revenue despite stadium competition from FIFA World Cup matches, and Sphere Entertainment grew revenue from its Wizard of Oz screenings despite an operating loss. Deezer reported marginal first-half revenue and adjusted-gross-profit growth, reaching 8.9 million subscribers after adding nearly 500,000 direct subscribers but losing 300,000 partnership subscribers.
