1610 ET - Netflix will disclose certain engagement trends less frequently, offering a narrower view into how many hours customers are spending on the streaming platform. Netflix says it will begin publishing its "What We Watched" report on an annual basis in the first quarter starting next year, compared with a current bi-annual cadence. By separating the report from its earnings results, the company says it aims to keep the focus on its primary financial metrics. Netflix still plans to report industry-leading title-by-title and total view hours data, it says. "Engagement is important to our business," the company says, but "engagement is not just the quantity of view hours, but also refers to the quality and variety of our offering."
