Netflix just announced Q4 2010 results, and they broke 20 million subscribers and reported $596 million in revenue. Netflix added more than 3 million subscribers in Q4, and had an operating income of $78 milliion with a net income of $47 million.
Netflix growth is still accelerating, as shown by this chart:
Netflix management will a Q&A webcast at 6pm EST today to discuss the results, and anyone can listen in at http://ir.netflix.com.
One caveat is that free subscribers surged from 1MM to 1.7MM and a majority of the increase probably comes from streaming-heavy users. Also it can be expected the retention rate for such a group of users will be lower, because the streaming service is, as Reed Hastings described, "a more casual relationship".
