Warner Music Group (WMG) reported on Monday (Aug. 3) that quarterly revenue rose by 10% to nearly $1.9 billion on double-digit digital revenue growth.
WMG released “preliminary estimated financial information” for the quarter ending June 30, 2026 on an accelerated timeline — it previously planned to report earnings and hold a conference call on Aug. 6 — following a pair of announcements on Friday (July 31) that chief financial officer and chief operating officer Armin Zerza was stepping down effective immediately. Chief accounting officer Louis Dickler has been named acting CFO, and Warner Records co-chairman and COO Tom Corson was named to replace Zerza in his additional role as COO.
