7 paragraphs in Risk Factors of the 10-K filed Jan 23, 2026 with nothing like them in the 10-K filed Jan 27, 2025. Quoted exactly. Paragraphs that were only edited are under 10-K change.
Compared with the Risk Factors in the latest 10-K of the other 18 Communication companies: a paragraph with at least half its words the same at another company is called similar, and the companies are listed under it. A paragraph most of them have is marked boilerplate. No line means no other company has one like it. This counts text; it does not say how serious a risk is.

require ongoing monitoring and updating as technologies change and efforts to overcome security measures become more sophisticated, and may limit the functionality of or otherwise negatively impact our service offering and systems. Any significant disruption to our service or access to our systems could result in a loss of members, damage our reputation, and adversely affect our business and results of operations. Further, a penetration of our systems or a third-party’s systems or other misappropriation or misuse of personal information could subject us to business, regulatory, litigation and reputation risk, which could have a negative effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In connection with our transaction with WBD to acquire WBD’s streaming and studios businesses, including its film and television studios, HBO Max and HBO (such transaction, the “WBD transaction”), we expect to incur and/or assume a substantial amount of additional indebtedness, which will materially increase the amount of our outstanding indebtedness and could subject us to additional risks. We have obtained commitments from financing sources to provide up to a $42.2 billion senior unsecured bridge term loan facility, and we have entered into a $5 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility and a $20 billion senior unsecured delayed draw term loan facility. We may draw on such facilities or issue or obtain other debt financing to finance a portion of the cash consideration for the WBD transaction. In addition, upon completion of the WBD transaction, we expect to assume additional outstanding debt of WBD. The terms of the indebtedness we may incur or assume in connection with the WBD transaction could vary materially and may include secured debt and/or debt with restrictive covenants that are more burdensome than those in our existing debt arrangements. To the extent these covenants remain in effect after closing, they could reduce the combined company’s operating and financial flexibility, and the substantial indebtedness to be incurred or assumed in connection with the WBD transaction could further exacerbate the risks described above.

The WBD transaction may not be completed on the currently contemplated timeline or terms, or at all.
Consummation of the WBD transaction is conditioned on, among other things, obtaining necessary governmental and regulatory approvals. If any of the conditions to the WBD transaction are not satisfied, it could delay or prevent the WBD transaction from occurring, which could result in Netflix’s obligation to pay a $5.8 billion termination fee in certain specified circumstances. Further, as a condition to their approval of the WBD transaction, regulatory agencies may impose requirements, limitations or costs or require divestitures or place restrictions on the conduct of WBD's streaming and studios businesses after the closing. These requirements, limitations, costs, divestitures or restrictions could jeopardize or delay the consummation of the WBD transaction, may result in a material adverse effect on WBD's streaming and studios businesses or may reduce the anticipated benefits of the WBD transaction.
The WBD transaction may cause our financial results to differ from expectations, we may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the WBD transaction, and the WBD transaction may disrupt our current plans or operations.
The success of the WBD transaction will depend, in part, on our ability to successfully integrate the acquired businesses and realize the anticipated benefits, including synergies. Difficulties in integrating the acquired businesses may result in the failure to realize anticipated synergies in the expected timeframes, in operational challenges, and in the diversion of management’s attention from ongoing business opportunities, challenges and risks, as well as in unforeseen expenses associated with the WBD transaction, which may have an adverse impact on our financial results.
