New York, NY - February 3, 2022 - News Corporation ( News Corp or the Company ) (Nasdaq: NWS, NWSA; ASX: NWS, NWSLV) today reported financial results for the three months ended December 31, 2021.
Commenting on the results, Chief Executive Robert Thomson said:
For the first half of fiscal year 2022, News Corp's profitability reached nearly $1 billion, up 30% year-over-year, with the second quarter delivering record revenues and the highest profit of any quarter since the company was formed in 2013.
Our businesses are thriving, particularly at the Digital Real Estate Services, Dow Jones and Book Publishing segments, and there was a pronounced surge in profitability at our News Media segment. Meanwhile, Foxtel's streaming products flourished, with a 66 percent increase in total customers, and Kayo and BINGE both exceeding one million.
We are delighted with our planned acquisitions of the OPIS and Base Chemicals businesses, which we expect will close in the first half of calendar 2022 and bolster the highly profitable Dow Jones Professional Information Business.
The landmark agreements with Big Tech continued to benefit our journalism and our bottom line. In addition to the substantial deals with Google and Facebook, we expanded our multi-year global agreement with Apple, which is expected to be an important source of subscriptions and of advertising revenue for our news sites around the world.
Our increasing momentum has given us the ability to make opportunistic acquisitions and further our $1 billion share buyback program. News Corp is clearly going from strength to strength.
