3 Metrics Netflix Is Focused On -- Hint: Subscribers Isn't One

Investors were disappointed when Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) reported its fiscal fourth-quarter earnings. Not only did subscriber additions come in below management's own guidance, but its outlook for the first quarter also came in well below analysts' expectations.

But CFO Spence Neumann isn't overly concerned about subscriber growth. At a recent investor conference, he said people have "overly focused attention on subscriber numbers," before adding, "What we focus on is building a great business." Specifically, he called out three key metrics: revenue, profits, and cash flow.
