奈飞计划再次大量举债,为收购华纳兄弟的交易提供资金
Hua Er Jie Jian Wen· 2025-12-10 23:59
曾因债台高筑被称为"Debtflix"的流媒体巨头Netflix奈飞正计划大规模举债,用于收购华纳兄弟探索公 司。尽管将新增数百亿美元债务,但分析师认为其信用状况已今非昔比。 根据目前的收购协议,奈飞已获得华尔街银行提供的590亿美元无担保过桥贷款,其中富国银行承诺提 供的295亿美元贷款,是迄今为止单家银行在投资级过桥贷款中提供的最大份额。 根据彭博行业研究的测算,如果奈飞的收购交易按最新条款完成,奈飞明年预计将产生约204亿美元的 息税折旧摊销前利润(EBITDA)。 届时净债务与EBITDA的比率约为3.7倍,到2027年这一杠杆率可能降至2倍多的水平,这对投资级公司 而言属于正常范围。彭博行业研究电信和媒体债务分析师Stephen Flynn表示: 总体而言,奈飞信用评级非常非常高,他们拥有不断增长的收入、EBITDA和充足的现金 流,因此合并后的公司能够相当快速地降低杠杆率。 Allspring Global美国投资级信贷研究主管Jim Fitzpatrick表示: 目前,华尔街正寻求从期待已久的并购复苏中赚取丰厚的手续费。不过此类临时融资贷款通常最终会被 更长期的债务所取代。 奈飞有资格进行这样规 ...

奈飞“篡位”好莱坞?
3 6 Ke· 2025-12-09 01:54
奈飞在好莱坞的存在感一直带着刺。 奈飞(Netflix)总部办公室一楼,摆了满满一面墙的艾美奖奖杯,这个角落被戏称为"Emmy Garden"。但在不少好莱坞人眼中,这种高调展示更像暴发户 炫富。 它坚持缩短、甚至取消影院独家窗口期,将电影更快推上流媒体平台,直接冲击了以院线发行与票房为核心的传统商业模式。 很多好莱坞从业者也压根不把它当同类看——你一个互联网公司,懂什么电影、懂什么内容? 一言以蔽之,对好莱坞来说,这是一个"砸饭碗的暴发户"。 但如今,这个暴发户不仅已经进入主流叙事中心,还准备收购自1918年成立的好莱坞巨头——华纳兄弟(Warner Bros. Discovery,以下简称"华纳")。 12月7日,这起价值827亿美元的收购案曝出后,随即在业内掀起强烈反弹。《泰坦尼克号》导演卡梅隆称这是场"灾难",李安感叹小公司将更难生存,美 国Cinema United更警告此举可能让美国票房蒸发四分之一。 反对声一浪高过一浪,但所有人都明白,奈飞收购华纳标志着一个残酷但无法回避的事实:新王取代旧王,好莱坞正在经历一场权力的交接。 不过这项交易业尚未尘埃落定,监管机构仍在进行反垄断评估。美国总统特朗普可 ...

报道称,这项交易距离真正落地还需要相当长的时间,华纳要先完成对旗下有线电视网业务部门剥离, 预计至少要等到2026年第三季度之后。此外该交易还需要获得监管机构的批准,美联社认为收购案可能 会遭到严格的反垄断审查,尤其是针对交易中关于电影制作和流媒体订阅的条款。约翰斯·霍普金斯大 学反垄断问题专家德帕斯卡尔表示,美国政府可能"对一家同时控制内容制作和发行的流媒体巨头持怀 疑态度"。民主党参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦认为,这笔交易"就像是一场反垄断噩梦"。共和党参议员罗杰·马 歇尔称,该交易"给消费者、创作者、电影院和当地企业都释放了非同寻常的危险信号"。据《综艺》披 露,为规避可能存在的反垄断风险,华纳在谈判期就坚持要求,如果交易最后因政府监管方面的阻力搁 浅,"网飞要支付创纪录的58亿美元违约费"。 美国编剧工会发表声明称,该交易会造成岗位削减、薪酬降低、工作条件恶化等问题,还会影响产品内 容数量与多样性,"必须阻止这次合并!"对于传统影视产业的下游,尤其是院线方和发行渠道商来说, 他们更担心华纳被网飞收购后,电影会被优先考虑网络投放,即便影院能上映,窗口期也会大幅缩短。 代表美国3万块、全球其他地区2.6万块影院大 ...
