“At the end of the quarter, there were 76.8 million global HBO Max and HBO subscribers. HBO Max and HBO global subscribers were up 12.8 million year-over-year and up 3.0 million sequentially, primarily driven by international and domestic retail subscriber gains reflecting the strength of the programming slate.
