In July, announced a new $1 billion stock repurchase program, which is in addition to our existing stock repurchase program, and intent to accelerate the pace of the buyback

NEW YORK, NY - August 5, 2025 - News Corporation ( News Corp or the Company ) (Nasdaq: NWS, NWSA; ASX: NWS, NWSLV) today reported financial results for the three months and fiscal year ended June 30, 2025.

Commenting on the results, Chief Executive Robert Thomson said:

News Corp reported a sterling performance sustained across the four quarters of Fiscal 2025. For the full year, revenues rose 2 percent to nearly $8.5 billion and our net income from continuing operations improved substantially, increasing 71 percent to $648 million, while Total Segment EBITDA improved 14 percent to a new record on a continuing operations basis of over $1.4 billion.

These robust results have enhanced our financial position and thus our ability to return capital to shareholders. Last month, the Board of Directors authorized a new $1 billion stock repurchase program, in addition to the approximately $300 million remaining from the previous $1 billion program authorized four years ago. We expect to begin executing repurchases at an accelerated rate shortly after the release of these results. This significantly larger total and significantly faster tempo emphasize our belief in the Company's financial strength.

The AI age must cherish the value of intellectual property if we are collectively to realize our potential. Much is made of the competition with China, but America's advantage is ingenuity and creativity, not bits and bytes, not watts but wit. To undermine that comparative advantage by stripping away IP rights is to vandalize our virtuosity.

Even the President of the United States is not immune to this blatant theft. The President's books are still reporting healthy sales, but are being consumed by AI engines which profit from his thoughts by cannibalizing his concepts, thus undermining future sales of his books. Suddenly, The Art of the Deal has become The Art of the Steal.

Fourth Quarter Results

The Company reported fiscal 2025 fourth quarter total revenues of $2.11 billion, a 1% increase compared to $2.09 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 the $5 million positive impact from foreign currency fluctuations. The increase was partly offset by lower revenues at the News Media and Book Publishing segments. Adjusted Revenues (which excludes the foreign currency impact, acquisitions and divestitures as defined in Note 2) were flat compared to the prior year.

Net income from continuing operations for the quarter was $86 million, a 28% increase compared to $67 million in the prior year, primarily driven by higher Other, net and Total Segment EBITDA, partially offset by higher impairment and restructuring charges.

The Company reported fourth quarter Total Segment EBITDA of $322 million, a 5% increase compared to $308 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 6%.

Net income from continuing operations per share attributable to News Corporation stockholders was $0.09 as compared to $0.08 in the prior year. Adjusted EPS (as defined in Note 3) were $0.19 compared to $0.20 in the prior year.
