NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--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, 2026.

Commenting on the results, Chief Executive Robert Thomson said:

“We concluded Fiscal 2026 with an exceptional fourth quarter performance, including an 11% increase in revenues to $2.34 billion and the highest profitability on record. Fourth quarter net income from continuing operations soared 167% to $230 million, while our earnings per share were $0.33, up from $0.09 in the prior year, and our adjusted EPS were $0.35, compared to $0.19 last year. Our core growth engines—Digital Real Estate Services, Dow Jones and Book Publishing—fueled a 31% surge in fourth quarter Total Segment EBITDA to $423 million.

On a full year basis, News Corp reported another year of record revenue and profitability on a continuing operations basis, with growth accelerating to 7% and 15%, respectively, while operating cash flow grew 26% to $1.24 billion. As a result, free cash flow increased significantly, rising 42% to $811 million. Our enhanced cash position enabled us to aggressively return capital to shareholders, with the buyback accelerating to well over four times the prior year’s rate at $643 million.

Our record performance is a product of sustained focus on, and reinvestment in, News Corp’s core growth engines and our transformation to a digital-first company underpinned by insightful and trusted content.

Much of the world is being reshaped by artificial intelligence, but artificial intelligence itself is only as useful and only as trustworthy as the quality of its inputs. We believe that makes News Corp an absolutely critical participant in the emerging AI ecosystem. Without our journalists, our authors, our data, our brands and our professional expertise, users would be drowning in a slimy sea of AI slop.

We have trusted content relationships with OpenAI and Meta, and are in advanced discussions with several other companies. However, under our woo and sue approach, we are taking aggressive action against those who pilfer and profit from our work. We will pursue those pilferers, and companies that are clients of these crass kleptomaniacs should know they are patently in possession of stolen goods.”

FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS

The Company reported fiscal 2026 fourth quarter total revenues of $2.34 billion, an 11% increase compared to $2.11 billion in the prior year period, primarily driven by higher real estate revenues at Digital Real Estate Services, higher print and digital sales at Book Publishing and higher circulation and subscription revenues at Dow Jones. Results included a $71 million, or 4%, positive impact from foreign currency fluctuations. Adjusted Revenues (which excludes the foreign currency impact, acquisitions and divestitures as defined in Note 2) increased 7% compared to the prior year.

Net income from continuing operations for the quarter was $230 million, a 167% increase compared to $86 million in the prior year, primarily driven by higher Total Segment EBITDA, as discussed below, and lower impairment and restructuring charges.

The Company reported fourth quarter Total Segment EBITDA of $423 million, a 31% increase compared to $322 million in the prior year, primarily driven by the strong revenue growth as discussed above. Adjusted Total Segment EBITDA (as defined in Note 2) increased 25%.

Net income from continuing operations per share attributable to News Corporation stockholders was $0.33 as compared to $0.09 in the prior year. Adjusted EPS (as defined in Note 3) were $0.35 compared to $0.19 in the prior year.

FULL YEAR RESULTS

The Company reported fiscal 2026 full year total revenues of $9.03 billion, a 7% increase compared to $8.45 billion in the prior year. The increase was driven by higher revenues at the Digital Real Estate Services, Dow Jones and Book Publishing segments, the Company’s core growth engines, and a $189 million, or 2%, positive impact from foreign currency fluctuations. Adjusted Revenues increased 4%.

Net income from continuing operations for the full year was $743 million, a 15% increase compared to $648 million in the prior year. The increase reflects higher Total Segment EBITDA, as discussed below, and higher interest income, partially offset by lower Other, net driven by the gain on the sale of REA Group’s investment in PropertyGuru in the prior year.

Total Segment EBITDA for the full year was $1.63 billion, a 15% increase compared to $1.42 billion in the prior year primarily driven by strong contributions from the Digital Real Estate Services and Dow Jones segments, primarily as a result of higher revenues, as discussed above, and lower employee costs in the Other segment. Adjusted Total Segment EBITDA increased 12%.

Diluted net income from continuing operations per share attributable to News Corporation stockholders was $1.03 as compared to $0.84 in the prior year. Adjusted diluted EPS were $1.18 compared to $0.89 in the prior year.

Net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations of $1,237 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026 was $259 million higher than net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations of $978 million in the prior year, primarily due to higher Total Segment EBITDA and working capital improvements, partially offset by higher cash tax and restructuring payments.

Free cash flow in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026 was $811 million compared to $571 million in the prior year. The increase in free cash flow was primarily due to higher cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations, as discussed above, partially offset by the $19 million increase in capital expenditures.

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities from continuing operations, less capital expenditures. Free cash flow excludes cash flows from discontinued operations. Free cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies, since companies and investors may differ as to what items should be included in the calculation of free cash flow.

Free cash flow does not represent the total increase or decrease in the cash balance for the period and should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, the net change in cash and cash equivalents as presented in the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows prepared in accordance with GAAP, which incorporates all cash movements during the period.

The Company believes free cash flow provides useful information to management and investors about the Company’s liquidity and cash flow trends.

OTHER ITEMS

Dividends

The Company declared today a semi-annual cash dividend of $0.10 per share for Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock. This dividend is payable on October 7, 2026 to stockholders of record as of September 9, 2026.

Adjusted Revenues, Total Segment EBITDA, Adjusted Total Segment EBITDA, Adjusted Segment EBITDA, adjusted net income attributable to News Corporation stockholders, Adjusted EPS, constant currency revenues and free cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures contained in this earnings release.

These measures also allow investors and analysts to view the Company’s business from the same perspective as Company management. These non-GAAP measures may be different than similar measures used by other companies and should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, measures of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP.

NOTE 1 – TOTAL SEGMENT EBITDA

Segment EBITDA is defined as revenues less operating expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses. Segment EBITDA does not include: depreciation and amortization, impairment and restructuring charges, equity losses of affiliates, interest (expense) income, net, other, net, income tax (expense) benefit and net income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax. Management believes that Segment EBITDA is an appropriate measure for evaluating the operating performance of the Company’s business segments because it is the primary measure used by the Company’s chief operating decision maker to evaluate the performance of and allocate resources within the Company’s businesses. Segment EBITDA provides management, investors and equity analysts with a measure to analyze the operating performance of each of the Company’s business segments and its enterprise value against historical data and competitors’ data, although historical results may not be indicative of future results (as operating performance is highly contingent on many factors, including customer tastes and preferences).

Total Segment EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure and should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, net income (loss) from continuing operations, cash flow from continuing operations and other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP. In addition, this measure does not reflect cash available to fund requirements and excludes items, such as depreciation and amortization and impairment and restructuring charges, which are significant components in assessing the Company’s financial performance. The Company believes that the presentation of Total Segment EBITDA provides useful information regarding the Company’s operations and other factors that affect the Company’s reported results. Specifically, the Company believes that by excluding certain one-time or non-cash items such as impairment and restructuring charges and depreciation and amortization, as well as potential distortions between periods caused by factors such as financing and capital structures and changes in tax positions or regimes, the Company provides users of its consolidated financial statements with insight into both its core operations as well as the factors that affect reported results between periods but which the Company believes are not representative of its core business. As a result, users of the Company’s consolidated financial statements are better able to evaluate changes in the core operating results of the Company across different periods. The following tables reconcile net income from continuing operations to Total Segment EBITDA for the three months and fiscal years ended June 30, 2026 and 2025:

NOTE 2 – ADJUSTED REVENUES, ADJUSTED TOTAL SEGMENT EBITDA AND ADJUSTED SEGMENT EBITDA

The Company uses revenues, Total Segment EBITDA and Segment EBITDA excluding the impact of acquisitions, divestitures, fees and costs, net of indemnification, related to the claims and investigations arising out of certain conduct at The News of the World (the “U.K. Newspaper Matters”), charges for other significant, non-ordinary course legal or regulatory matters (“litigation charges”) and foreign currency fluctuations (“Adjusted Revenues,” “Adjusted Total Segment EBITDA” and “Adjusted Segment EBITDA,” respectively) to evaluate the performance of the Company’s core business operations exclusive of certain items that impact the comparability of results from period to period such as the unpredictability and volatility of currency fluctuations. The Company calculates the impact of foreign currency fluctuations for businesses reporting in currencies other than the U.S. dollar by multiplying the results for each quarter in the current period by the difference between the average exchange rate for that quarter and the average exchange rate in effect during the corresponding quarter of the prior year and totaling the impact for all quarters in the current period.

The calculation of Adjusted Revenues, Adjusted Total Segment EBITDA and Adjusted Segment EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies, since companies and investors may differ as to what type of events warrant adjustment. Adjusted Revenues, Adjusted Total Segment EBITDA and Adjusted Segment EBITDA are not measures of performance under generally accepted accounting principles and should not be construed as substitutes for amounts determined under GAAP as measures of performance. However, management uses these measures in comparing the Company’s historical performance and believes that they provide meaningful and comparable information to investors to assist in their analysis of our performance relative to prior periods and our competitors.

NOTE 3 – ADJUSTED NET INCOME (LOSS) ATTRIBUTABLE TO NEWS CORPORATION STOCKHOLDERS AND ADJUSTED EPS

The Company uses net income (loss) attributable to News Corporation stockholders from continuing operations and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations (“EPS”) excluding expenses related to U.K. Newspaper Matters, litigation charges, impairment and restructuring charges and “Other, net”, net of tax, recognized by the Company or its equity method investees, as well as the settlement of certain pre-Separation tax matters (“adjusted net income (loss) attributable to News Corporation stockholders” and “adjusted EPS,” respectively), to evaluate the performance of the Company’s operations exclusive of certain items that impact the comparability of results from period to period, as well as certain non-operational items. The calculation of adjusted net income (loss) attributable to News Corporation stockholders and adjusted EPS may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies, since companies and investors may differ as to what type of events warrant adjustment. Adjusted net income (loss) attributable to News Corporation stockholders and adjusted EPS are not measures of performance under generally accepted accounting principles and should not be construed as substitutes for consolidated net income (loss) attributable to News Corporation stockholders from continuing operations and net income (loss) per share from continuing operations as determined under GAAP as a measure of performance. However, management uses these measures in comparing the Company’s historical performance and believes that they provide meaningful and comparable information to investors to assist in their analysis of our performance relative to prior periods and our competitors.

The following tables reconcile reported net income attributable to News Corporation stockholders from continuing operations and reported diluted EPS to adjusted net income attributable to News Corporation stockholders and adjusted EPS for the three months and fiscal years ended June 30, 2026 and 2025:

NOTE 4 – CONSTANT CURRENCY REVENUES

The Company believes that the presentation of revenues excluding the impact of foreign currency fluctuations (“constant currency revenues”) provides useful information regarding the performance of the Company’s core business operations exclusive of distortions between periods caused by the unpredictability and volatility of currency fluctuations. The Company calculates the impact of foreign currency fluctuations for businesses reporting in currencies other than the U.S. dollar as described in Note 2.

Constant currency revenues are not measures of performance under generally accepted accounting principles and should not be construed as substitutes for revenues as determined under GAAP as measures of performance. However, management uses these measures in comparing the Company’s historical performance and believes that they provide meaningful and comparable information to investors to assist in their analysis of our performance relative to prior periods and our competitors.

The following tables reconcile reported revenues to constant currency revenues for the three months and fiscal years ended June 30, 2026:
