Sirius XM’s quarterly revenue was up a modest 9% from where it was two years ago in Q2. In addition, its net income rose 11% higher from the pre-pandemic quarter. This growth was higher on a per-share basis as a result of Sirius XM’s aggressive buybacks. As of June 2021, the company had 31.4 million self-pay subscribers – who are paying for premium radio despite so many connected cars having access to unlimited free or almost free alternatives. Now, that there are more cars on the road – the company expects to add 1.1 million accounts this year. Sirius XM has a long history of providing conservative guidance for revenue, self-pay net subscriber additions, free cash flow, and adjusted EBITDA. The company typically raises those guidance figures throughout the year as it did in its latest Q2 report. SIRI now expects total revenue of approximately $8.5 billion (up by $200 million from the previous forecast), adjusted EBITDA of $2.67 billion, and free cash flow of $1.7 billion, both up $100 million from prior estimates.
