Disney’s net interest expense declined 22% to $813 million in the nine months ended June 27, 2026, primarily because of lower average interest rates. The benefit from lower rates was partially offset by higher average debt balances. In the quarter, net interest expense increased 8% because higher average debt balances more than offset lower effective interest rates.
