• Non-cash impairment charges of $1.1 billion, primarily at Foxtel and News America Marketing, led to a net loss of ($1) billion compared to net income of $23 million in the prior year

• Total Segment EBITDA was $242 million compared to $247 million in the prior year

• Adjusted Revenues declined 4% and Adjusted Total Segment EBITDA increased 1%

• Reported EPS were ($1.24) compared to $0.02 in the prior year – Adjusted EPS were $0.03 compared to $0.04 in the prior year

• Completed the sale of News America Marketing to Charlesbank Capital Partners on May 5^th

• Dow Jones saw 20% growth in digital-only subscribers to over 2.5 million, including 15% growth in digital-only subscribers atTheWall Street Journal, while experiencing record traffic across its digital networks

NEW YORK, NY – May 7, 2020 – News Corporation (“News Corp” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: NWS, NWSA; ASX: NWS, NWSLV) today reported financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Commenting on the results, Chief Executive Robert Thomson said:

“We are operating in a different, difficult time. Every business and family is facing challenges and our thoughts, in particular, are for those who are suffering deeply and personally from the impact ofCOVID-19.

Our fiscal third quarter results demonstrate the strength of News Corp and the power of our premium content. We also maintained a robust balance sheet, with $1.4 billion in cash and cash equivalents as of March 31^st and an untapped $750 million corporate revolving credit facility, providing a strong foundation for the Company’s future.

Despite the onset ofCOVID-19, and particularly volatile, adverse currency movements, profitability was relatively stable. Notably, profitability was higher at the News and Information Services segment, fueled by significant digital advertising and subscriber growth at Dow Jones, including The Wall Street Journal, which reached approximately 3 million subscribers in the last week, a new record, with over 2.2 million that are digital-only.

The sale of News America Marketing was completed on May 5^th and we are continuing to simplify our Company to highlight the intrinsic value of our core businesses, including the strategic review of our Australian newspaper holdings, focusing on our larger brands and our digital reach.

Clearly the pandemic will have an impact on our results in the Fourth Quarter, but all of our businesses are embarking on cost-cutting programs intended to deal with short-term need but also to ensure that the Company is well-equipped to prosper in a decidedly different business environment after the crisis abates.

There will obviously be an impact on executive compensation, and it is worth noting that bonuses are often the largest cash component for our senior executives. Pay reductions will be led by our Executive Chairman, Rupert

1

Murdoch, who is voluntarily forgoing his entire cash bonus for the current fiscal year, and as Chief Executive I will forgo 75% of my annual cash bonus. The collective cuts in bonuses and other cost initiatives will have a positive impact on profitability and our cash position.”

THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

The Company reported fiscal 2020 third quarter total revenues of $2.27 billion, 8% lower compared to $2.46 billion in the prior year period. The decline reflects a $78 million, or 3%, negative impact from foreign currency fluctuations. The rest of the decline primarily reflects lower print-related advertising revenues at the News and Information Services segment and lower subscription revenues at Foxtel. Adjusted Revenues (which exclude the foreign currency impact, acquisitions and divestitures as defined in Note 2) declined 4%.

Net loss for the quarter was ($1) billion compared to net income of $23 million in the prior year, reflecting $1.1 billion ofnon-cash impairment charges, primarily related to a write-down of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets at Foxtel and the reclassification of News America Marketing to assets held for sale.

The Company reported third quarter Total Segment EBITDA of $242 million, a 2% decline compared to $247 million in the prior year. The decline reflects a $14 million, or 6%, negative impact from foreign currency fluctuations. Cost savings at the News and Information Services segment and lower corporate expenses at the Other segment largely offset the revenue decline discussed above. Adjusted Total Segment EBITDA (as defined in Note 2) increased 1%.

Net (loss) income per share attributable to News Corporation stockholders was ($1.24) as compared to $0.02 in the prior year.

Adjusted EPS (as defined in Note 3) were $0.03 compared to $0.04 in the prior year.

News and Information Services

Revenues in the quarter decreased $94 million, or 8%, as compared to the prior year, reflecting a $25 million, or 2%, negative impact from foreign currency fluctuations. Within the segment, Dow Jones revenues grew 5%, while revenues at News America Marketing, News Corp Australia and News UK declined 16%, 14% and 9%, respectively. Adjusted Revenues for the segment decreased 5% compared to the prior year.

Circulation and subscription revenues increased 1% compared to the prior year, which includes a $10 million, or 2%, negative impact from foreign currency fluctuations. Circulation and subscription revenues again benefited from a healthy contribution from Dow Jones’ consumer products, which saw a 4% increase in circulation revenues, reflecting 20% growth in digital paid subscribers and subscription price increases. Dow Jones’ consumer products reached more than 3.5 million total subscribers, reflecting a 10% increase compared to the prior year. The results also reflect a 5% increase in revenues at Dow Jones’ Professional Information Business, which benefited from 18% growth in its Risk & Compliance products, and higher revenues from content licensing partnerships. Price increases and digital subscriber growth at other mastheads also contributed to the results. These increases were largely offset by lower print volume across the businesses.

Advertising revenues declined 14% compared to the prior year, of which $12 million, or 2%, was related to the negative impact from foreign currency fluctuations. The remainder of the decline was driven by weakness in the print advertising market, lower revenues at News America Marketing and the $14 million estimated negative impact from theCOVID-19 pandemic. The decline was partially offset by growth in digital advertising. Advertising revenues at Dow Jones declined 2% in the quarter due to an 18% decline in print advertising, driven by market weakness across conference and traditional sales, partially offset by 25% growth in digital advertising. Advertising revenues represented 22% of total Dow Jones revenues in the quarter, of which 47% was digital.

3

Segment EBITDA increased $10 million in the quarter, or 15%, as compared to the prior year, reflecting higher contribution from Dow Jones, lower losses at theNew York Post and the absence of losses resulting from the sale of Unruly in January 2020. The improvement was partially offset by lower contribution from News America Marketing. Segment EBITDA also included an estimated $11 million negative impact from theCOVID-19 pandemic. Adjusted Segment EBITDA (as defined in Note 2) increased 4%.

Digital revenues represented 36% of News and Information Services segment revenues in the quarter, compared to 31% in the prior year. For the quarter, digital revenues for Dow Jones and the newspaper mastheads represented 42% of their combined revenues, and at Dow Jones, digital accounted for 58% of its circulation revenues. Digital subscribers and users across key properties within the News and Information Services segment are summarized below:

• The Wall Street Journal average daily digital subscribers in the three months ended March 31, 2020 were 2,041,000, compared to 1,775,000 in the prior year (Source: Internal data)

• Closing digital subscribers at News Corp Australia’s mastheads as of March 31, 2020 were 613,300, compared to 493,200 in the prior year (Source: Internal data)

• The Times andSunday Times closing digital subscribers as of March 31, 2020 were 345,000, compared to 286,000 in the prior year (Source: Internal data)

• The Sun’s digital offering reached approximately 164 million global monthly unique users in March 2020 (Source: Google Analytics; prior year comparable statistic unavailable due to source change)

Subscription Video Services

Revenues in the quarter decreased $77 million, or 14%, compared with the prior year, of which $38 million, or 7%, was due to the negative impact from foreign currency fluctuations. Adjusted Revenues for the segment decreased 7% compared to the prior year. The remainder of the revenue decline was driven by lower subscription revenues due to fewer broadcast subscribers, partially offset by higher revenues from Kayo.

As of March 31, 2020, Foxtel’s total closing subscribers were 2.933 million, an increase of 1% compared to the prior year, primarily due to subscriber growth at Kayo, partially offset by lower broadcast subscribers. 2.208 million of the total closing subscribers were residential and commercial broadcast subscribers, and the remainder consisted of Foxtel Now and Kayo subscribers. As of March 31, 2020, there were 444,000 Kayo subscribers, of which 408,000 were paying subscribers, compared to 199,000 subscribers (148,000 paying) in the prior year. As of May 2^nd, there were over 272,000 paying Kayo subscribers, which reflects the impact from the cancellation and/or postponement of sports events as a result of theCOVID-19 pandemic. As of March 31, 2020 there were 338,000 Foxtel Now subscribers, of which 317,000 were paying subscribers, compared to 357,000 subscribers (348,000 paying) in the prior year.

Broadcast subscriber churn in the quarter improved to 17.5% from 17.7% in the prior year, primarily driven by improvements at the Foxtel retail channel, partially offset by increased volume of churn from lower-value customers on expiring contracts in wholesale channels. Broadcast ARPU for the quarter was relatively stable at A$79 (US$52).

Segment EBITDA in the quarter decreased $30 million, or 31%, compared with the prior year, primarily due to lower revenues, partially offset by $9 million of lower sports rights and production costs related to the suspension of sporting events due toCOVID-19 and lower entertainment license fees. Adjusted Segment EBITDA decreased 24%.

4

Book Publishing

Revenues in the quarter declined $9 million, or 2%, compared to the prior year, reflecting a $3 million, or 1%, negative impact from foreign currency fluctuations. The remainder of the revenue decline was primarily due to the difficult comparisons to the prior year, which had higher sales of Rachel Hollis’ titles, partially offset by the success of new titles such asOpen Book by Jessica Simpson,Find Your Path by Carrie Underwood andProfiles in Corruption by Peter Schweizer. Digital sales increased 3% compared to the prior year, primarily due to growth in downloadable audiobooks, and represented 23% of Consumer revenues for the quarter. Segment EBITDA for the quarter increased $2 million, or 4%, compared to the prior year, primarily due to the different mix of titles. Adjusted Segment EBITDA increased 6%.

Digital Real Estate Services

Revenues in the quarter declined $11 million, or 4%, compared to the prior year, of which foreign currency fluctuations had a negative impact of $12 million, or 4%. The decline also reflects the negative impact from theCOVID-19 pandemic, primarily at Move, as discussed below. Segment EBITDA in the quarter increased 1% compared to the prior year, as an increase in financial services revenues at REA Group and lower costs were nearly offset by the $7 million, or 10%, negative impact from foreign currency fluctuations. Adjusted Revenues were flat and Adjusted Segment EBITDA increased 9%.

In the quarter, revenues at REA Group decreased 5% to $143 million from $151 million in the prior year, primarily due to the $12 million negative impact from foreign currency fluctuations, partially offset by higher revenues from its financial services business.

Move’s revenues in the quarter decreased 2% to $118 million from $121 million in the prior year, due to an estimated $6 million negative impact fromCOVID-19, primarily as a result of the customer relief measures referenced below, as well as lower software and services revenue. Real estate revenues, which represented 81% of total Move revenues, were flat as growth in its performance-based Opcity product was offset by lower revenues from its lead generation product resulting from the transfer of leads to Opcity and customer billing relief measures instituted in March related toCOVID-19. Based on Move’s internal data, average monthly unique users of realtor.com^®’s web and mobile sites for the fiscal third quarter grew 6% year-over-year to approximately 68 million.

CASH FLOW

The following table presents a reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities to free cash flow available to News Corporation:

	For the nine months ended March 31,
	2020		2019
	(in millions)
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	462	$	661
Less: Capital expenditures		(335)		(417)
		127		244
Less: REA Group free cash flow		(129)		(164)
Plus: Cash dividends received from REA Group		65		69
Free cash flow available to News Corporation	$	63	$	149

Net cash provided by operating activities of $462 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2020 was $199 million lower than $661 million in the prior year period, primarily due to lower Total Segment EBITDA as noted above and lower cash distributions received from affiliates.

Free cash flow available to News Corporation in the nine months ended March 31, 2020 was $63 million compared to $149 million in the prior year period. The decline was primarily due to lower cash provided by operating activities, as mentioned above, partially offset by lower capital expenditures. Foxtel’s capital expenditures for the nine months ended March 31, 2020 were $171 million, compared to $223 million in the prior year period. We expect total capital expenditures in fiscal 2020 to be approximately $435 million, which includes an anticipated 35 to 40% reduction in capital expenditures at Foxtel. As a result, we continue to expect that free cash flow available to News Corporation will be higher in the second half of the fiscal year.

Free cash flow available to News Corporation is anon-GAAP financial measure defined as net cash provided by operating activities, less capital expenditures (“free cash flow”), less REA Group free cash flow, plus cash dividends received from REA Group.

The Company considers free cash flow available to News Corporation to provide useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash that is available to be used to strengthen the Company’s balance sheet and for strategic opportunities including, among others, investing in the Company’s business, strategic acquisitions, dividend payouts and repurchasing stock. The Company believes excluding REA Group’s free cash flow and including dividends received from REA Group provides users of its consolidated financial statements with a measure of the amount of cash flow that is readily available to the Company, as REA Group is a separately listed public company in Australia and must declare a dividend in order for the Company to have access to its share of REA Group’s cash balance. The Company believes free cash flow available to News Corporation provides a more conservative view of the Company’s free cash flow because this presentation includes only that amount of cash the Company actually receives from REA Group, which has generally been lower than the Company’s unadjusted free cash flow. A limitation of free cash flow available to News Corporation is that it does not represent the total increase or decrease in the cash balance for the period. Management compensates for the limitation of free cash flow available to News Corporation by also relying on 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.

OTHER ITEMS

COVID-19 Impact

The impact of theCOVID-19 pandemic and measures to prevent its spread have created significant volatility, uncertainty and economic disruption and are affecting the Company’s businesses in a number of ways, as detailed in the Company’s Current Report on Form8-K filed on April 13, 2020. While these effects were not material to the Company’s results of operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020, as they began to materialize toward the end of the quarter, the Company expects a more significant impact in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, particularly as containment measures in a number of its operating geographies have been extended into May or beyond. As of the date of this release, the Company has observed the following effects on its businesses:

News and Information Services:We have seen, and expect to continue to see, adverse effects on advertising and single-copy sales revenues as a result of widespread business closures, social distancing measures and economic uncertainty. In April, advertising revenues at Dow Jones declined more than 20% from the prior year, although digital advertising only declined modestly. Advertising revenues at News Corp Australia and News UK declined more than 45%, including an approximately 5% negative impact from foreign currency fluctuations. We have also continued to see strong growth in digital subscribers across our key properties in April, including over 20% year-over-year growth in digital-only subscribers atThe Wall Street Journal.

Subscription Video Services:While broadcast churn in April was fairly stable, we expect the continued suspension of major sporting events to adversely impact customer churn going forward and/or result in fewer subscribers to our sports services in the near-term, including at Kayo, where we saw a sharp decline in paid subscribers, as noted above. Closures of pubs and clubs and lower occupancy at hotels throughout Australia have also adversely impacted, and are expected to continue to adversely impact, commercial subscription revenues.

Book Publishing:The retail market continued to be adversely affected by government restrictions globally. However, online sales have been strong in recent weeks ande-books have returned to growth.

Digital Real Estate Services:We have seen, and expect to continue to see, declines in new listings and real estate transactions as a result of social distancing measures and business closures, as well as general economic uncertainty. At REA Group, national residential listings in April declined 33% from the prior year. We also expect continued adverse impacts on revenues related to the proactive billing relief measures for customers.

The Company has taken various steps intended to offset the impact ofCOVID-19 by reducing variable costs and implementing cost-savings initiatives across its businesses. These initiatives include, but are not limited to, significant reductions in discretionary spending,non-essential capital expenditures and headcount, as well as transitioning certain newspaper operations to digital-only.

The ultimate impact of theCOVID-19 pandemic, including the extent of adverse impacts on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition, is highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. Additional information regarding risks related to theCOVID-19 pandemic will be addressed in the Form10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.

Subsequent Events

News America Marketing

On March 31, 2020, the Company entered into a definitive agreement for the sale of its News America Marketing business, which was completed on May 5, 2020.

REA Group Credit Facility

In April 2020, REA Group entered into a new A$148.5 million working capital facility and an A$20 million overdraft facility.

COMPARISON OFNON-GAAP TO U.S. GAAP INFORMATION

Adjusted Revenues, Total Segment EBITDA, Adjusted Total Segment EBITDA, Adjusted Segment EBITDA, adjusted net income attributable to News Corporation stockholders, Adjusted EPS and free cash flow available to News Corporation arenon-GAAP financial measures contained in this earnings release. The Company believes these measures are important tools for investors and analysts to use in assessing the Company’s underlying business performance and to provide for more meaningful comparisons of the Company’s operating performance between periods. These measures also allow investors and analysts to view the Company’s business from the same perspective as Company management. Thesenon-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. Reconciliations for the differences betweennon-GAAP measures used in this earnings release and comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP are included in Notes 1, 2 and 3 and the reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities to free cash flow available to News Corporation is included above.

These statements are based on management’s views and assumptions regarding future events and business performance as of the time the statements are made. Actual results may differ materially from these expectations due to the risks and uncertainties related toCOVID-19 and the risks, uncertainties and other factors described in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (many of which may be amplified byCOVID-19). The ultimate impact of theCOVID-19 pandemic, including the extent of adverse impacts on the Company’s business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition, will depend on, among other things, the severity, duration and spread of the pandemic, the impact of governmental actions and business and consumer behavior in response to the pandemic, the effectiveness of actions taken to contain or mitigate the outbreak, the resulting global economic conditions and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

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 and income tax (expense) benefit. 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 anon-GAAP measure and should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, net income (loss), 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 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 certainone-time ornon-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 (loss) income to Total Segment EBITDA.

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 atThe News of the World (the “U.K. Newspaper Matters”) 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 and nine months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

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 and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) excluding expenses related to U.K. Newspaper Matters, 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 certainpre-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 certainnon-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 and net income (loss) per share 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 (loss) income attributable to News Corporation stockholders and reported diluted EPS to adjusted net income attributable to News Corporation stockholders and adjusted EPS for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.
