Shares of Netflix (NFLX) fell sharply after the online streaming company reported a second-quarter earnings fall that came in well below expectations. While the company also reported a surge in users due to people staying at home through the lockdown, the guidance on new subscribers was less than half what analysts expected.

The share price of Netflix dropped nearly 10% on the release of the report.

Here are the key numbers from Netflix's earnings report:
</p><ul>
<li>Earnings per share (EPS): $1.59 vs $1.81 expected</li>
<li>Q2 revenue: $6.15 billion vs $6.08 billion expected</li>
<li>Q2 subscribers: 10.09 million vs 8.26 million</li>
</ul><p>
Interestingly, the miss in earnings was largely due to a one-time charge related to tax credits in California. Even though second-quarter revenue and subscribers beat analyst expectations, which now stand at 192.95 million subscribers globally, investors were more concerned about the low forward guidance.
</p><p>
The company announced it expects to add just 2.5 million paid subscribers in the third-quarter which was less than half the 5.27 million expected. Fortunately, its launch for original shows and movies this year is still intact due to the long content production lead times. However, 2021 will have fewer series launches due to the halt in production this year.
</p><p>
Netflix also announced that Ted Sarandos was promoted to the co-CEO role.
