NEWS CORPORATION
SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION
As previously disclosed on December 22, 2024, News Corporation (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that it and Telstra Corporation Limited have entered into a definitive agreement to sell NXE Australia Pty Limited (“Foxtel”) to DAZN Group Limited. The agreement follows a strategic review of Foxtel as part of the Company’s ongoing efforts to optimize its portfolio and simplify the structure of the Company.
Beginning with the Company's second quarter of Fiscal 2025, as a result of the progression of the sale process and the discontinuation of further significant business activities in the Subscription Video Services segment, the results of operations of Foxtel have been classified as discontinued operations in accordance with ASC 205-20, Discontinued Operations, as the disposition reflects a strategic shift that has, and will have, a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. Upon reclassification of Foxtel’s results, the Company determined that the Subscription Video Services segment was no longer a reportable segment and the residual results of the segment were aggregated into the News Media segment.
