As part of this effort, we identified areas in which we could limit discretionary spending to minimize the impact of any additional needs for staff reductions."

In February, Sirius XM reported flat fourth-quarter FY22 revenue growth to $2.28 billion, missing the consensus of $2.32 billion.
Adjusted EPS of $0.09 beat the consensus of $0.08.
"While we are not issuing subscriber guidance today, we anticipate modestly negative self-pay net adds for the year as economic and demand uncertainty persists, auto sales remain soft, and we reduce marketing ahead of our planned launch of a new streaming experience later this year," CFO Sean Sullivan said.
Price Action: SIRI shares traded higher by 0.70% at $4.33 premarket on the last check Tuesday.
