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.
FULL YEAR RESULTS
The Company reported fiscal 2025 full year total revenues of $8.45 billion, a 2% increase compared to $8.25 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 pillars, and the $8 million positive impact from foreign currency fluctuations. The increase was partially offset by lower revenues at the News Media segment. Adjusted Revenues increased 2%.
Net income from continuing operations for the full year was $648 million, a 71% increase compared to $379 million in the prior year. The increase reflects higher Total Segment EBITDA, as discussed below, higher Other, net and higher interest income, net, partially offset by higher income tax expense and higher depreciation and amortization expense.
Total Segment EBITDA for the full year was $1.42 billion, a 14% increase compared to $1.24 billion in the prior year primarily driven by strong contributions from the Digital Real Estate Services, Dow Jones and Book Publishing segments primarily as a result of higher revenues, as discussed above, and higher contribution from the News Media segment as a result of cost savings initiatives. Adjusted Total Segment EBITDA increased 15%.
Diluted net income from continuing operations per share attributable to News Corporation stockholders was $0.84 as compared to $0.47 in the prior year. Adjusted diluted EPS were $0.89 compared to $0.74 in the prior year.

Dow Jones
Fourth Quarter Segment Results
Revenues in the quarter increased $38 million, or 7%, compared to the prior year, driven by higher circulation and subscription revenues from continued growth in the professional information business and higher digital circulation revenues. Digital revenues at Dow Jones in the quarter represented 83% of total revenues compared to 81% in the prior year. Adjusted Revenues increased 5%.
Circulation and subscription revenues increased $37 million, or 8%, reflecting a 10% increase in professional information business revenues, led by 21% growth in Risk & Compliance revenues to $92 million, which includes the contribution from the recent acquisitions of Dragonfly Intelligence and Oxford Analytica, and 12% growth in Dow Jones Energy revenues to $73 million, partially offset by lower Factiva revenues primarily due to a customer dispute. Circulation revenues increased 5% compared to the prior year, primarily driven by the continued growth in digital-only subscriptions and the conversion of customers from introductory promotions to higher pricing, partly offset by lower print volume. Digital circulation revenues accounted for 75% of circulation revenues for the quarter, compared to 71% in the prior year.

Net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations of $978 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 was $81 million higher than net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations of $897 million in the prior year, primarily due to higher Total Segment EBITDA and lower restructuring and interest payments, partially offset by higher working capital and higher tax payments.
Free cash flow in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 was $571 million compared to $540 million in the prior year. The improvement in free cash flow was primarily due to higher cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations, as mentioned above, partly offset by higher 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 8, 2025 to stockholders of record as of September 10, 2025.

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, 2025 and 2024:

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.
The following tables reconcile reported revenues and reported Total Segment EBITDA to Adjusted Revenues and Adjusted Total Segment EBITDA for the three months and fiscal years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:

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, 2025 and 2024:

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized non-cash impairment charges of $22 million at the News Media segment related to the write-down of fixed assets associated with the combination of News UK’s printing operations with those of DMG Media. |
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, 2025:
