NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Fox Corporation (“FOX” or the “Company”) is a news, sports and entertainment company, which manages and reports its businesses in the following reportable segments: Cable Network Programming and Television.

The accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of FOX have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been reflected in these Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. Operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025.

The preparation of the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts that are reported in the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying disclosures. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions that the Company may undertake in the future, actual results may differ from those estimates.

These interim Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 8, 2024 (the “2024 Form 10-K”).

All significant intercompany transactions and accounts within the Company’s consolidated businesses have been eliminated. Investments in and advances to entities or joint ventures in which the Company has significant influence, but less than a controlling financial interest, are accounted for using the equity method. Significant influence generally exists when the Company owns an interest between 20% and 50%. Equity securities in which the Company has no significant influence (generally less than a 20% ownership interest) with readily determinable fair values are accounted for at fair value based on quoted market prices. Equity securities without readily determinable fair values are accounted for either at fair value or using the measurement alternative method which is at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. All gains and losses on investments in equity securities are recognized in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company’s fiscal year ends on June 30 (“fiscal”) of each year. Certain fiscal 2024 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the fiscal 2025 presentation.

The unaudited and audited consolidated financial statements are referred to as the “Financial Statements” herein. The unaudited consolidated statements of operations are referred to as the “Statements of Operations” herein. The unaudited and audited consolidated balance sheets are referred to as the “Balance Sheets” herein.

NOTE 2. ACQUISITIONS, DISPOSALS AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS

The Company’s acquisitions support the Company’s strategy to strengthen its core brands, grow its digital businesses and selectively enhance production capabilities for its digital and linear platforms. During the six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company made no acquisitions.

In February 2024, FOX announced that it would enter into a joint venture with ESPN, a subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company (“Disney”), and Warner Bros. Discovery Inc. (“WBD”) to form a digital distribution platform focused on sports called Venu Sports. On January 10, 2025, FOX, Disney and WBD announced the decision to discontinue Venu Sports (See Note 8—Commitments and Contingencies under the heading "Venu Sports”). In connection with that decision, FOX expensed the costs that were previously capitalized in anticipation of the launch in Restructuring, impairment and other corporate matters in the Statements of Operations during the three months ended December 31, 2024.

Total amortization expense	$	2,758	$	2,467	$	3,888	$	3,462

NOTE 4. FAIR VALUE

Fair value measurements are required to be disclosed using a three-tiered fair value hierarchy which distinguishes market participant assumptions into the following categories: (i) inputs that are quoted prices in active markets (“Level 1”); (ii) inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities (“Level 2”); and (iii) inputs that require the entity to use its own assumptions about market participant assumptions (“Level 3”).

The following tables present information about financial assets and redeemable noncontrolling interests carried at fair value on a recurring basis:


	Fair value measurements
	As of December 31, 2024
	Total		Level 1			Level 2		Level 3

Redeemable noncontrolling interests	(242)		—			—		(242)		(b)
Total	$	555	$	797		$	—	$	(242)


(a)			The investments categorized as Level 1 primarily represent an investment in equity securities of Flutter Entertainment plc (“Flutter”) with a readily determinable fair value.
(b)			The Company utilizes both the market and income approach valuation techniques for its Level 3 fair value measures. Inputs to such measures could include observable market data obtained from independent sources such as broker quotes and recent market transactions for similar assets. It is the Company’s policy to maximize the use of observable inputs in the measurement of its Level 3 fair value measurements. To the extent observable inputs are not available, the Company utilizes unobservable inputs based upon the assumptions market participants would use in valuing the redeemable noncontrolling interests. Examples of utilized unobservable inputs are future cash flows and long-term growth rates.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

The redeemable noncontrolling interests recorded are put rights held by minority shareholders in Credible Labs Inc. (“Credible”) and an entertainment production company.

The changes in redeemable noncontrolling interests classified as Level 3 measurements were as follows:


	For the three months ended December 31,				For the six months ended December 31,
	2024		2023		2024		2023
	(in millions)
Beginning of period	$	(202)	$	(228)	$	(242)	$	(213)

Accretion and redemption value adjustments	3		(19)		41		(34)
End of period	$	(200)	$	(243)	$	(200)	$	(243)

The put right held by the Credible minority interest shareholder was fully exercised in December 2024. The Company and the Credible minority interest shareholder will determine the value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest as part of a predetermined fair market value process.

The put right held by the entertainment production company’s minority shareholder will become exercisable in fiscal 2027.

FOX CORPORATION

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Financial Instruments

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments exclusive of borrowings, such as cash and cash equivalents, receivables, payables and investments accounted for using the measurement alternative method, approximates fair value.


	As of December 31, 2024		As of June 30, 2024
	(in millions)
Borrowings
Fair value	$	7,081	$	7,017
Carrying value	$	7,200	$	7,197

Fair value is generally determined by reference to market values resulting from trading on a national securities exchange or in an over-the-counter market (a Level 1 measurement).

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Cash and cash equivalents are maintained with several financial institutions. The Company has deposits held with banks that exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand and are maintained with financial institutions of reputable credit and, therefore, bear minimal credit risk.

Generally, the Company does not require collateral to secure receivables. As of December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, the Company had no individual customers that accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s receivables.

NOTE 5. BORROWINGS

Borrowings include senior notes (See Note 9—Borrowings in the 2024 Form 10-K under the heading “Public Debt – Senior Notes Issued”) of which $600 million of 3.050% senior notes are due in April 2025. In addition, the Company is party to a credit agreement providing a $1.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility with a sub-limit of $150 million available for the issuance of letters of credit and a maturity date of June 2028 (See Note 9—Borrowings in the 2024 Form 10-K under the heading “Revolving Credit Agreement”). As of December 31, 2024, there were no borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit agreement.

NOTE 6. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Stock Repurchase Program

The Company’s Board of Directors has authorized a stock repurchase program under which the Company can repurchase $7 billion of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), and Class B Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Class B Common Stock”). The program has no time limit and may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time.

In total, the Company repurchased approximately 12 million shares of Class A Common Stock for approximately $500 million during the six months ended December 31, 2024.

Repurchased shares are retired and reduce the number of shares issued and outstanding. The Company allocates the amount of the repurchase price over par value between additional paid-in capital and retained earnings.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s remaining stock repurchase authorization was approximately $900 million. Subsequent to December 31, 2024, the Company repurchased approximately 1 million shares of Class A Common Stock for approximately $50 million.

	For the three months ended December 31,				For the six months ended December 31,
	2024		2023		2024		2023
	(in millions)
Equity-based compensation	$	34	$	24	$	68	$	48
Intrinsic value of all settled equity-based awards	$	25	$	7	$	103	$	72
Tax benefit on settled equity-based awards	$	2	$	1	$	17	$	11

The Company’s equity-based awards are settled in Class A Common Stock. As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s total estimated compensation cost, not yet recognized, related to non-vested equity awards held by the Company’s employees was approximately $165 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period between two and three years.

The computation of diluted earnings per share did not include stock options or performance-based stock options outstanding during each period presented if their inclusion would have been antidilutive, and, for those shares that are contingently issuable, all necessary conditions have not been satisfied for the periods presented.

Awards Vested, Granted and Exercised

Restricted Stock Units

During the six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, approximately 1.5 million and 1.9 million restricted stock units (“RSUs”) vested and approximately 1.7 million and 2.0 million RSUs were granted, respectively. These RSUs generally vest in equal annual installments over a three-year period subject to participants’ continued employment with the Company.

Performance-Based Stock Options

During the six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, approximately 2.5 million and 0.4 million performance-based stock options were exercised and approximately 3.4 million and 4.0 million were granted, respectively, which will vest in full at the end of a three-year performance period as the market condition has been met and have a term of seven years thereafter.

NOTE 8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Commitments

The Company has commitments under certain firm contractual arrangements (“firm commitments”) to make future payments. These firm commitments secure the future rights to various assets and services to be used in the normal course of operations. The total firm commitments and future debt payments as of December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024 were approximately $36 billion and $38 billion, respectively. The decrease from June 30, 2024 was primarily due to sports programming rights payments.

Contingencies

The Company establishes an accrued liability for legal claims and indemnification claims when the Company determines that a loss is both probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Once established, accruals are adjusted from time to time, as appropriate, in light of additional information. The amount of any loss ultimately incurred in relation to matters for which an accrual has been established may be higher or lower than the amounts accrued for such matters. Any fees, expenses, fines, penalties, judgments or settlements which might be incurred by the Company in connection with the various proceedings could affect the Company’s results of operations and financial condition. For the contingencies disclosed below for which there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss may be incurred, other than the accrual provided, the Company was unable to estimate the amount of loss or range of loss.

FOX News

The Company’s FOX News business and certain of its current and former employees have been subject to allegations of sexual harassment and discrimination on the basis of sex and race. The Company has resolved many of these claims and is contesting other claims in litigation. The Company has also received regulatory and investigative inquiries relating to these matters. To date, none of the amounts paid in settlements or reserved for pending or future claims is material, individually or in the aggregate, to the Company. The amount of additional liability, if any, that may result from these or related matters cannot be estimated at this time. However, the Company does not currently anticipate that the ultimate resolution of any such pending matters will have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

U.K. Newspaper Matters Indemnity

In connection with the separation of 21CF and News Corporation in June 2013 (the “21CF News Corporation Separation”), 21CF agreed to indemnify News Corporation, on an after-tax basis, for payments made after the 21CF News Corporation Separation arising out of civil claims and investigations relating to phone hacking, illegal data access and inappropriate payments to public officials that occurred at subsidiaries of News Corporation before the 21CF News Corporation Separation, as well as legal and professional fees and expenses paid in connection with the related criminal matters, other than fees, expenses and costs relating to employees who are not (i) directors, officers or certain designated employees or (ii) with respect to civil matters, co-defendants with News Corporation (the “U.K. Newspaper Matters Indemnity”). In accordance with the Separation Agreement (as defined in Note 1—Description of Business and Basis of Presentation in the 2024 Form 10-K under the heading “The Transaction”), the Company assumed certain costs and liabilities related to the U.K. Newspaper Matters Indemnity. The liability recorded in the Balance Sheets related to the indemnity was approximately $65 million as of June 30, 2024 and approximately $70 million as of December 31, 2024.

Defamation and Disparagement Claims

From time to time, the Company and its news businesses, including FOX News Media and the FOX Television Stations, and their employees are subject to lawsuits alleging defamation or disparagement. These include lawsuits filed by Smartmatic USA Corp. and certain of its affiliates (collectively, “Smartmatic”) in February 2021 seeking $2.7 billion in damages and Dominion Voting Systems, Inc. and certain of its affiliates (collectively, “Dominion”) in March 2021 seeking $1.6 billion in damages. On March 31, 2023, the court in the Dominion case issued its rulings on summary judgment motions that were unfavorable to the Company. Following these rulings, on April 18, 2023, the Company and its subsidiary, Fox News Network, LLC, entered

FOX CORPORATION

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

into a Release and Settlement Agreement with Dominion pursuant to which the parties agreed to resolve the lawsuits among them. The Company paid an aggregate of approximately $800 million to settle this and a related lawsuit in April 2023.

The Company continues to believe the Smartmatic and other pending lawsuits alleging defamation or disparagement are without merit and intends to defend against them vigorously, including through any appeals. Discovery in the Smartmatic case is ongoing, following a stay by operation of New York law due to the death of Lou Dobbs. At this time, a trial in the Smartmatic lawsuit is not expected to commence until mid-to-late 2025 at the earliest. The Company is unable to predict the final outcome of these matters and has determined that a loss in the Smartmatic case is neither probable nor reasonably estimable. There can be no assurance that the ultimate resolution of these pending matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

On April 11, 2023 and April 20, 2023, stockholders of the Company filed derivative lawsuits in the Delaware Court of Chancery (the “Chancery Court”) against certain directors of the Company, which the Chancery Court subsequently consolidated into one matter captioned In re Fox Corporation Deriv. Litig., C.A. No. 2023-0418 (Del.Ch.). Two additional derivative lawsuits were subsequently filed by the Company’s stockholders in the Chancery Court on September 12, 2023 against certain directors and officers of the Company and are part of the consolidated lawsuit. Each of the lawsuits names the Company as a nominal defendant. On April 26, 2024, the lead plaintiffs filed an amended complaint that alleges that certain directors and officers, as applicable, breached their fiduciary duties by allowing the Company’s news channel to air allegations regarding election fraud in connection with the 2020 U.S. Presidential election, which resulted in significant defamation litigation. The amended complaint seeks orders awarding damages in favor of the Company; directing the Company to reform and improve its policies and procedures; and awarding the plaintiffs attorneys' fees and costs. On December 27, 2024, the Chancery Court denied the defendants’ motion to dismiss the amended complaint. The Company intends to continue to vigorously defend against these claims.

Actions and Claims Arising from Alleged Misuse of Personal Information

The Company and its subsidiaries, including Tubi, Inc. (“Tubi”), are from time to time parties to actions and arbitration claims arising from their alleged misuse of personal information. In June 2023, a putative class action lawsuit titled Campos v. Tubi was filed with the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division (the “District Court”), alleging that Tubi shared viewer information with third parties in violation of the privacy protection provisions of the federal Video Privacy Protection Act. After a determination that Campos lacked standing to sue Tubi, plaintiff’s counsel filed a new putative class action titled Gregory v. Tubi with the 17th Judicial Circuit Court in Winnebago County, Illinois (the “Illinois State Court”). On July 26, 2024 the parties entered into a Settlement and Release Agreement to resolve all claims, which includes the dismissal of the Campos lawsuit and settlement of the Gregory lawsuit. On January 24, 2025, the Illinois State Court entered a final order approving the Settlement and Release Agreement. The settlement will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The Company intends to vigorously defend against any other actions and arbitration claims arising from the alleged misuse of personal information that have not been settled or resolved by the Gregory settlement. The Company is unable to predict the final outcome of these other actions and arbitration claims and has determined that a loss in these matters is neither probable nor reasonably estimable. There can be no assurance that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Venu Sports

In February 2024, FOX announced that it would enter into a joint venture with ESPN, a subsidiary of Disney, and WBD to form a digital distribution platform focused on sports called Venu Sports. On February 20, 2024, FuboTV Inc. and FuboTV Media Inc (collectively, “Fubo”) filed a lawsuit against Disney, ESPN, Inc., ESPN Enterprises, Inc., HULU, LLC, FOX and WBD in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “NY District Court”) alleging claims under federal and New York antitrust laws. The claims were based on theories that (i) Venu Sports will harm competition in alleged markets for the licensing of networks that offer live sports content and for streaming live pay tv, (ii) certain alleged practices by which FOX and Disney

FOX CORPORATION

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(including its ESPN affiliates) license their networks to virtual multi-channel video programming distributors (“virtual MVPDs”) as a bundle increase prices and reduce output for services offered by virtual MVPDs, and (iii) certain alleged pricing provisions in the defendants’ carriage agreements with certain virtual MVPDs increase prices for services offered by virtual MVPDs. Fubo subsequently filed an amended complaint that added allegations relating to a purported market for “skinny sports bundles” that Fubo claimed Venu Sports will monopolize. Fubo sought compensatory damages, treble damages and an injunction to prevent the formation of the joint venture.

Following a hearing on Fubo’s motion for a preliminary injunction, the NY District Court preliminarily enjoined the launch of Venu Sports on August 16, 2024. The defendants filed a notice of appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit (the “Appeals Court”) from the preliminary injunction order on August 19, 2024, and the Appeals Court granted defendants’ motion for an expedited appeal on August 27, 2024. On September 26, 2024, the Company filed with the NY District Court a motion to dismiss Fubo’s claims brought under federal and New York antitrust law, unrelated to the joint venture, which the NY District Court denied on December 13, 2024.

On January 6, 2025, Disney and Fubo announced that they have entered into an agreement to combine the Hulu + Live TV business with Fubo, forming a combined virtual MVPD company (the “Disney/Fubo Transaction”). In conjunction with the Disney/Fubo Transaction, Fubo and the defendants settled the Venu Sports lawsuit and the defendants made an aggregate $220 million settlement payment to Fubo, of which approximately $80 million was the Company’s portion, which was recorded in Restructuring, impairment and other corporate matters in the Statements of Operations during the three months ended December 31, 2024. On January 10, 2025, the defendants announced their decision to discontinue the Venu Sports joint venture and not launch its streaming service effective immediately, and as a result the Company expensed the costs that were previously capitalized in anticipation of the launch. Under certain circumstances, including if the Disney/Fubo Transaction does not close due to the failure to obtain certain regulatory approvals, a termination fee of $130 million will be payable to Fubo. Concurrently with the Disney/Fubo transaction, Disney has committed to provide Fubo a senior unsecured term loan of up to $145 million in January 2026. If any such payment is required for the termination fee or senior unsecured term loan, it will be paid by FOX, Disney and WBD.

Other

The Company’s operations are subject to tax primarily in various domestic jurisdictions and as a matter of course, the Company is regularly audited by federal and state tax authorities. The Company believes it has appropriately accrued for the expected outcome of all pending tax matters and does not currently anticipate that the ultimate resolution of pending tax matters will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition, future results of operations or liquidity. Each member of the 21CF consolidated group, which includes 21CF, the Company (prior to the Transaction (as defined in Note 1—Description of Business and Basis of Presentation in the 2024 Form 10-K under the heading “The Transaction”)) and 21CF’s other subsidiaries, is jointly and severally liable for the U.S. federal income and, in certain jurisdictions, state tax liabilities of each other member of the consolidated group. Consequently, the Company could be liable in the event any such liability is incurred, and not discharged, by any other member of the 21CF consolidated group. The tax matters agreement entered into in connection with the Separation (as defined in Note 1—Description of Business and Basis of Presentation in the 2024 Form 10-K under the heading “The Transaction”) requires 21CF and/or Disney to indemnify the Company for any such liability. Disputes or assessments could arise during future audits by the IRS in amounts that the Company cannot quantify.

NOTE 9. PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS

The Company participates in and/or sponsors various pension, savings and postretirement benefit plans. Pension plans and postretirement benefit plans are closed to new participants with the exception of a small group covered by collective bargaining agreements. The net periodic benefit cost was $8 million and $14 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $17 million and $27 million for the six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

NOTE 10. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company is a news, sports and entertainment company, which manages and reports its businesses in four operating segments: Cable Network Programming, Television, Credible and the FOX Studio Lot with the following two reportable segments:

•Cable Network Programming, which produces and licenses news and sports content distributed through traditional cable television systems, direct broadcast satellite operators and telecommunication companies, virtual multi-channel video programming distributors and other digital platforms, primarily in the U.S.

•Television, which produces, acquires, markets and distributes programming through the FOX broadcast network, advertising supported video-on-demand service Tubi, 29 full power broadcast television stations, including 11 duopolies, and other digital platforms, primarily in the U.S. Eighteen of the broadcast television stations are affiliated with the FOX Network, 10 are affiliated with MyNetworkTV and one is an independent station. The segment also includes various production companies that produce content for the Company and third parties.

The Credible and the FOX Studio Lot operating segments do not meet the criteria under GAAP to be separately reported as a reportable segment or aggregated with other operating segments, and as such are presented as part of Corporate and Other, which is not a reportable segment. Corporate and Other principally consists of Credible, the FOX Studio Lot and corporate overhead costs. Credible is a U.S. consumer finance marketplace. The FOX Studio Lot, located in Los Angeles, California, provides television and film production services along with office space, studio operation services and includes all operations of the facility.

The Company’s operating segments have been determined in accordance with the Company’s internal management structure, which is organized based on operating activities. The Company evaluates performance based upon several factors, of which the primary financial measure is Segment EBITDA (defined below). Due to the integrated nature of these operating segments, estimates and judgments are made in allocating certain assets, revenues and expenses.

Segment EBITDA is defined as Revenues less Operating expenses and Selling, general and administrative expenses. Segment 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. Management believes that Segment EBITDA is an appropriate measure for evaluating the operating performance of the Company’s operating segments because it is the primary measure used by the Company’s chief operating decision maker to evaluate the performance of and allocate resources to the Company’s businesses.

Overview

For the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023

The Company’s revenues increased $844 million or 20% for the three months ended December 31, 2024, as compared to the corresponding period of fiscal 2024, due to higher affiliate fee, advertising and other revenues. The increase of $113 million or 6% in affiliate fee revenue was primarily due to the impact of higher

average rates per subscriber and higher fees received from television stations that are affiliated with the FOX Network of approximately $225 million, partially offset by the approximately $110 million impact of a lower average number of subscribers across all networks. The increase of $420 million or 21% in advertising revenue was primarily due to the 2024 presidential and congressional elections predominantly at the Company’s owned and operated television stations, continued digital growth led by the Tubi AVOD service and higher news ratings and pricing. Also contributing to this increase was the approximately $120 million impact of sports programming led by higher Major League Baseball (“MLB”) postseason ratings and National Football League (“NFL”) pricing. The increase of $311 million or 70% in other revenues was primarily due to higher sports sublicensing revenue.

Operating expenses increased $383 million or 11% for the three months ended December 31, 2024, as compared to the corresponding period of fiscal 2024, primarily due to the approximately $330 million impact of higher sports programming rights amortization and production costs driven by higher college football costs, including licensing costs for rights that are sublicensed, and MLB postseason costs, partially offset by the absence of WWE. The remaining increase of $53 million was principally due to higher digital and entertainment production costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $30 million or 6% for the three months ended December 31, 2024, as compared to the corresponding period of fiscal 2024, primarily due to higher employee and marketing costs.

For the six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023

The Company’s revenues increased $1.2 billion or 16% for the six months ended December 31, 2024, as compared to the corresponding period of fiscal 2024, due to higher affiliate fee, advertising and other revenues. The increase of $216 million or 6% in affiliate fee revenue was primarily due to the impact of higher average rates per subscriber and higher fees received from television stations that are affiliated with the FOX Network of approximately $435 million, partially offset by the approximately $220 million impact of a lower average number of subscribers across all networks. Advertising revenue, which includes approximately $400 million of political advertising revenue recognized during the six months ended December 31, 2024 due to the 2024 presidential and congressional elections, increased $549 million or 17% primarily due to the impact of political advertising revenue predominantly at the Company’s owned and operated television stations, continued digital growth led by the Tubi AVOD service and higher news ratings and pricing. Also contributing to this increase was the approximately $100 million impact primarily due to sports programming led by higher MLB postseason ratings, higher NFL pricing and the mix of fiscal 2024 and 2025 broadcasts of soccer tournaments. The increase of $436 million or 61% in other revenues was primarily due to higher sports sublicensing revenue.

Operating expenses increased $539 million or 10% for the six months ended December 31, 2024, as compared to the corresponding period of fiscal 2024, primarily due to the approximately $430 million impact of higher sports programming rights amortization driven by higher college football costs, including licensing costs for rights that are sublicensed, and NFL and MLB postseason costs, partially offset by the absence of WWE. The remaining increase of $109 million was primarily due to higher digital content costs and higher newsgathering costs principally due to the 2024 presidential election.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $52 million or 5% for the six months ended December 31, 2024, as compared to the corresponding period of fiscal 2024, primarily due to higher employee and marketing costs.

Restructuring, impairment and other corporate matters—See Note 11—Additional Financial Information to the accompanying Financial Statements under the heading “Restructuring, Impairment and Other Corporate Matters.”

Interest expense, net— Interest expense, net increased $8 million and $16 million or 11% and 14% for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024, respectively, as compared to the corresponding period of fiscal 2024, primarily due to lower interest income as a result of lower average cash and cash equivalent balances, partially offset by a lower average amount of debt outstanding.

Non-operating other, net—See Note 11—Additional Financial Information to the accompanying Financial Statements under the heading “Non-Operating Other, net.”

Income tax expense—The Company’s tax provision and related effective tax rate for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024 of 25% was higher than the statutory rate of 21% primarily due to state taxes and other permanent items.

The Company's tax provision and related effective tax rate for the three and six months ended December 31, 2023 of 12% and 23% respectively, was different than the statutory rate of 21% primarily due to state tax law changes.

Net income—Net income increased $273 million and $690 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods of fiscal 2024, primarily due to higher Segment EBITDA (as defined below) and a change in fair value of the Company’s investments in equity securities, partially offset by the legal settlement and other costs associated with the discontinuation of Venu Sports (See Note 8—Commitments and Contingencies to the accompanying Financial Statements under the heading “Venu Sports”) and higher provision for income tax.

Segment Analysis

Segment EBITDA is defined as Revenues less Operating expenses and Selling, general and administrative expenses. Segment EBITDA does not include: Amortization of cable distribution investments, Depreciation and amortization, Restructuring, impairment and other corporate matters, Interest expense, net, Non-operating other, net and Income tax expense. Management believes that Segment EBITDA is an appropriate measure for evaluating the operating performance of the Company’s operating segments because it is the primary measure used by the Company’s chief operating decision maker to evaluate the performance of and allocate resources to the Company’s businesses.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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, Interest expense, net, Non-operating other, net and Income tax expense.

Management believes that information about Adjusted EBITDA assists all users of the Company’s 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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“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 and six months ended December 31, 2024, as compared to the three and six months ended December 31, 2023:

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Current Financial Condition

The Company has approximately $3.3 billion of cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2024 and an unused five-year $1.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility (See Note 5—Borrowings to the accompanying Financial Statements). The Company also has access to the worldwide capital markets, subject to market conditions. As of December 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all of the covenants under the revolving credit facility, and it does not anticipate any noncompliance with such covenants.

The principal uses of cash that affect the Company’s liquidity position include the following: the acquisition of rights and related payments for entertainment and sports programming; operational expenditures including

production costs; marketing and promotional expenses; expenses related to broadcasting the Company’s programming; employee and facility costs; capital expenditures; acquisitions, including redeemable noncontrolling interests; income taxes, interest and dividend payments; debt repayments; legal settlements; and stock repurchases.

The Company has evaluated, and expects to continue to evaluate, possible acquisitions and dispositions of certain businesses and assets. Such transactions may be material and may involve cash, the Company’s securities or the assumption of additional indebtedness.

Sources and Uses of Cash

Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was as follows (in millions):


For the six months ended December 31,	2024		2023
Net cash used in operating activities	$	(204)	$	(535)

The decrease in net cash used in operating activities during the six months ended December 31, 2024, as compared to the corresponding period of fiscal 2024, was primarily due to higher Segment EBITDA, principally due to higher political advertising receipts due to the 2024 presidential and congressional elections, and lower restructuring payments, partially offset by higher sports and entertainment programming costs and tax payments.

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was as follows (in millions):


For the six months ended December 31,	2024		2023
Net cash used in investing activities	$	(240)	$	(143)

The increase in net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended December 31, 2024, as compared to the corresponding period of fiscal 2024, was primarily due to an increase in the Company’s investments partially offset by a decrease in capital expenditures.

Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities for the six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was as follows (in millions):


For the six months ended December 31,	2024		2023
