Netflix Secures International Rights to Studio Ghibli Animated Films:

The iconic animated features of Japan's Studio Ghibli will be available in territories outside the U.S., Canada and Japan on Netflix starting in February. The move is a further change of position for the studio which has repeatedly resisted the idea that its beloved cartoons would be released on digital platforms.

Netflix, sales agent Wild Bunch, and Studio Ghibli, which counts Hayao Miyazaki as one of its leading lights, will upload 21 Ghibli features including Academy Award-winner "Spirited Away," "Princess Mononoke," "Arrietty," "Kiki's Delivery Service," "My Neighbor Totoro," and "The Tale of The Princess Kaguya."

They will be screened in their native Japanese, with sub-titles, and be available globally on Netflix except in the U.S., Canada, and Japan.

"In this day and age, there are various great ways a film can reach audiences. We've listened to our fans and have made the definitive decision to stream our film catalogue. We hope people around the world will discover the world of Studio Ghibli through this experience," said producer Toshio Suzuki at Studio Ghibli in a prepared statement.

[...] "This is a dream come true for Netflix and millions of our members. Studio Ghibli's animated films are legendary and have enthralled fans around the world for over 35 years. We're excited to make them available in more languages across Latin America, Europe, Africa and Asia – so that more people can enjoy this whimsical and wonderful world of animation," Aram Yacoubian, director of original animation at Netflix, said.

    First you looked at annual gross profit, now you looked at quarterly net profit.

    That is still not the number you want to be looking at my friend. I'm sure you can do a bit more research based on the parent AC post.

    Net is the correct number. You were right that gross was incorrect because it doesn't account for capital expenditures.

    I have provided citations for 2019 Q2, Q3 and Q4 in this thread for net profit. If there is a quarter where they did not profit why don't you provide a citation for a change.

    When they use the word profit they mean profit. Jeebus, who knew this was some kind of controversial claim!

      No net income/profit is not the correct number. It is free cash flow.
