Dish Network announced its third quarter earnings this morning, and the results are a mixed bag.
The financial news is good this quarter. The company reported $3.73 billion in revenue for the quarter, which is up from the $3.68 billion in revenue from the same quarter in 2014. Earnings per share were $0.42 compared with $0.31 last year.
However, the user numbers this quarter were not strong. Dish activated 751,000 new pay-TV subscribers, which is up 60,000 from the same quarter last year. However, net pay-TV subscribers decreased 23,000 users, which is nearly double the losses of 12,000 subscribers during the same quarter last year.
The customer losses could be partially offset by an increase in pay-TV ARPU, which increased to $86.33 from $84.39 last year. Dish also added 13,000 broadband subscribers this quarter, bringing their subscriber base to 608,000 users.
