The success of “Moana 2” at the box office and growth in Disney+ subscribers helped The Walt Disney Company Limited generate more than £4.4 billion ($5.8 billion) in revenue in 2025.
The company’s annual report, filed with the U.K.’s Companies House, showed revenue increased by 11.1% year-on-year. Post-tax profit also rose by 37.7%, from £589 million to £811 million, during the period between Sept. 29, 2024, and Sept. 27, 2025.
The annual report said the increase in revenue and profit was “mainly driven by the strong performance of Disney+” with year-on-year increases in subscriber numbers and pricing. The company also benefited from the strong box office results of “Moana 2” and the live-action “Lilo & Stitch.”
Disney recorded the growth despite lower stage revenue for much of the financial year. Its West End production of “Frozen” closed in September 2024 after a three-year run. “Hercules” opened nine months later, in June 2025.
Europe, including the U.K. and Ireland, generated 95.6% of the company’s revenue. The rest came from other international markets.
Disney also expanded its workforce during the year. The average monthly headcount increased by 95 employees to 1,981. Most employees worked in entertainment-related roles.
At the same time, payroll costs fell slightly. Aggregate staff costs dropped from £266.2 million to £260.8 million.
The revenue covered entertainment activities, experiences and operating fees. These businesses include Disney+, film distribution, licensing, merchandise, publishing and vacation packages.
