The Australian corporate filings of the Walt Disney Company show that its local arm posted revenue of $1.01bn in the year to 30 September, compared with $743m previously. The increase was partially due to the inclusion of ESPN’s revenues for the first time, while the result was also boosted by strong growth for the Disney+ streaming service. Meanwhile, Disney Australia’s profit was 33 per cent higher at $63m, although the entertainment group paid just $16m in tax; the bulk of its revenue was paid as royalties to its US parent company.
