New York, NY - May 8, 2025 - News Corporation ( News Corp or the Company ) (Nasdaq: NWS, NWSA; ASX: NWS, NWSLV) today reported financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Commenting on the results, Chief Executive Robert Thomson said:
The sustained strength of News Corp's third quarter reflects the Company's strategic transformation. We have pursued digital growth, realigned our assets, focused relentlessly on cost discipline and asserted the essential value of our intellectual property in a changing, challenging content world.
Net income from continuing operations rose 67% to $107 million, benefiting from a 12% increase in Total Segment EBITDA to $290 million, as revenue reached $2 billion, despite blustery currency headwinds and obvious macro uncertainty. Reported earnings per share from continuing operations doubled to $0.14 and margins expanded in every segment.
The completion of the sale of Foxtel to DAZN last month marked a significant moment for News Corp as we continued to focus on our core pillars and on driving growth. The transaction meaningfully strengthened our balance sheet and is expected to increase return on invested capital, and be accretive to earnings per share. It also demonstrates our ongoing commitment to maximizing returns for our shareholders.
Dow Jones was a highlight of the quarter, achieving improved revenue and profit growth, including double-digit revenue growth in digital circulation and at both Risk and Compliance and Dow Jones Energy. We continued to invest in the Professional Information Business, and have just completed the acquisition of Oxford Analytica and Dragonfly Intelligence.
The enduring importance of quality journalism cannot be underestimated in the midst of a political and economic maelstrom. The currency of credibility will become even more crucial as AI continues its exponential growth and inevitably blurs the lines between the actual and the anthropomorphic.
THIRD QUARTER RESULTS
The Company reported fiscal 2025 third quarter total revenues of $2.01 billion, a 1% increase compared to $1.99 billion in the prior year period, primarily driven by higher circulation and subscription revenues at the Dow Jones segment, higher Australian residential revenues at REA Group and higher book sales at the Book Publishing segment. The increase was partly offset by lower revenues at the News Media segment and a $32 million, or 1%, negative impact from foreign currency fluctuations. Adjusted Revenues (which excludes the foreign currency impact, acquisitions and divestitures as defined in Note 2) increased 2% compared to the prior year.
Net income from continuing operations for the quarter was $107 million, a 67% increase compared to $64 million in the prior year, primarily driven by higher Total Segment EBITDA and lower impairment and restructuring charges. These impacts were partially offset by higher income tax expense.
The Company reported third quarter Total Segment EBITDA of $290 million, a 12% increase compared to $259 million in the prior year primarily due to strong contributions from the Digital Real Estate Services and Dow Jones segments. Adjusted Total Segment EBITDA (as defined in Note 2) increased 15%.
Net income from continuing operations per share attributable to News Corporation stockholders was $0.14 as compared to $0.07 in the prior year.
Adjusted EPS (as defined in Note 3) were $0.17 compared to $0.13 in the prior year.
