"SiriusXM delivered a very strong third quarter despite headwinds from slowing auto sales and the impact of severe weather in many parts of the United States. We recorded our best-ever quarter for adjusted EBITDA and its corresponding margin — which reached 39.9%. SiriusXM is pleased to once again raise our full-year guidance for revenue, adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow. In September, we also completed our $480 million strategic investment in Pandora and recently announced a 10% hike in our quarterly dividend," said Jim Meyer, Chief Executive Officer, SiriusXM.

"We continue to create and broadcast the best audio entertainment available today, whether it's in music, comedy, talk or sports. We love to take care of our subscribers and will do it again this weekend in Nashville with a special and exclusive event with the Eagles at The Grand Ole Opry House, where the group has never played before," said Jim Meyer. "It follows a great summer and fall of live concerts with a series of established and emerging stars, such as Chicago, Lorde, Dwight Yoakam, and The Killers, to name a few. And we continue to add new music channels and draw world class talent to our comedy, sports and talk programming," added Meyer.

Self-Pay Subscribers Reach Approximately 27 Million. The company added 311,000 net new self-pay subscribers in the third quarter 2017 to end the period with approximately 27 million self-pay subscribers. Total net additions in the quarter were 119,000, after giving effect to the decline of approximately 191,000 paid promotional subscribers. The decline in paid promotional net additions was due to paid promotional subscription ends out-pacing paid promotional subscription starts as a result of lower shipments from automakers offering paid promotional subscriptions. The company ended the quarter with approximately 32.2 million total subscribers and a total funnel of trial subscribers of approximately 8.9 million.
