EARNINGS RELEASE FOR THE QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2025
FOX REPORTS FIRST QUARTER FISCAL 2026
REVENUES OF $3.74 BILLION,
NET INCOME OF $609 MILLION, AND
ADJUSTED EBITDA OF $1.07 BILLION

ANNOUNCES $1.5 BILLION ACCELERATED SHARE REPURCHASE TRANSACTION



NEW YORK, NY, October 30, 2025 – Fox Corporation (Nasdaq: FOXA, FOX; “FOX” or the “Company”) today reported financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2025.

The Company reported total quarterly revenues of $3.74 billion, an increase of $174 million or 5% from the amount reported in the prior year quarter. Distribution revenues increased 3%, driven by 3% growth at the Cable Network Programming segment and 2% growth at the Television segment. Advertising revenues increased 6%, primarily due to continued digital growth led by the Tubi AVOD service, stronger news pricing and higher sports pricing and ratings led by the NFL, partially offset by lower political advertising revenues. Content and other revenues increased 12%, primarily due to higher entertainment content revenues.

The Company reported quarterly net income of $609 million as compared to the $832 million reported in the prior year quarter. Net income attributable to Fox Corporation stockholders was $599 million ($1.32 per share) as compared to the $827 million ($1.78 per share) reported in the prior year quarter. Adjusted net income attributable to Fox Corporation stockholders1 was $686 million ($1.51 per share) as compared to the $672 million ($1.45 per share) reported in the prior year quarter.

Quarterly Adjusted EBITDA2 was $1.07 billion, an increase of $17 million or 2% from the amount reported in the prior year quarter, primarily due to the revenue increase noted above, partially offset by higher expenses. The increase in expenses was primarily due to higher digital marketing and content costs and higher entertainment programming rights amortization, partially offset by lower sports programming rights amortization.

Commenting on the results, Executive Chair and Chief Executive Officer Lachlan Murdoch said:

“Coming off a record Fiscal 2025, our strong operating momentum has carried through the first quarter of Fiscal 2026. We are delivering for audiences with continued engagement growth across the portfolio which underpins the robust advertising demand we are seeing across sports, news, entertainment and Tubi. The quality of our assets and their consistent capacity to deliver financially gives me great confidence in the positive outlook for FOX. This morning’s announcement to leverage the strength of our balance sheet with a $1.5 billion accelerated share repurchase transaction clearly underscores this confidence along with our commitment to creating value for our shareholders.”

EARNINGS RELEASE FOR THE QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2025
NOTE 1 – ADJUSTED NET INCOME AND ADJUSTED EPS

The Company uses net income attributable to Fox Corporation stockholders and earnings per share (“EPS”) attributable to Fox Corporation stockholders excluding net income effects of Restructuring, impairment and other corporate matters, adjustments to Equity earnings (losses) of affiliates, Non-operating other, net, Tax provision and Noncontrolling interest adjustments (“Adjusted Net Income” 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.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS are not measures of performance under GAAP and should be considered in addition to, and not as substitutes for, net income attributable to Fox Corporation stockholders and EPS as reported in accordance with GAAP. However, management uses these measures in comparing the Company’s historical performance and believes that they provide meaningful and comparable information to management, investors and equity analysts to assist in their analysis of the Company’s performance relative to prior periods and the Company’s competitors.

The following table reconciles net income attributable to Fox Corporation stockholders and EPS attributable to Fox Corporation stockholders to Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024:

EARNINGS RELEASE FOR THE QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2025
NOTE 2 – ADJUSTED EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Revenues less Operating expenses and Selling, general and administrative expenses. Adjusted EBITDA does not include: Amortization of cable distribution investments, Depreciation and amortization, Restructuring, impairment and other corporate matters, Equity earnings (losses) of affiliates, Interest expense, net, Non-operating other, net and Income tax expense. Effective July 1, 2025, the Company no longer removes the impact of amortization of cable distribution investments when calculating Adjusted EBITDA. Prior periods were not restated as the impact of the change is immaterial to the calculation.

Management believes that information about Adjusted EBITDA assists all users of the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements by allowing them to evaluate changes in the operating results of the Company’s portfolio of businesses separate from non-operational factors that affect Net income, thus providing insight into both operations and the other factors that affect reported results. Adjusted EBITDA provides management, investors and equity analysts a measure to analyze the operating performance of the Company’s business and its enterprise value against historical data and competitors’ data, although historical results, including Adjusted EBITDA, may not be indicative of future results (as operating performance is highly contingent on many factors, including customer tastes and preferences).

Adjusted EBITDA is considered a non-GAAP financial measure and should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, net income, cash flow 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 charges, which are significant components in assessing the Company’s financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

The following table reconciles net income to Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024:
