Experiences operating income increased 20% to $3.017 billion in the quarter and 10% to $8.941 billion for the nine-month period, driven by higher Parks & Experiences revenue despite higher costs. Entertainment operating income increased 64% to $1.680 billion in the quarter but only 3% to $4.116 billion year to date, primarily because higher subscription and affiliate fees were partly offset by increased operating costs. Sports operating income decreased 17% to $858 million in the quarter and 14% to $1.701 billion year to date as higher programming and production costs exceeded revenue growth. Corporate and unallocated shared expenses decreased 19% to $334 million in the quarter and 20% to $1.018 billion year to date, reflecting favorable legal-matter comparisons.
