May 8, 2026mda_quarterlyNews Corporation reported a 9% revenue increase for the quarter and 5% for the nine months ended March 31, 2026, primarily driven by its Digital Real Estate Services and Dow Jones segments. Digital Real Estate Services saw strong growth from REA Group and Move (Realtor.com), fueled by price increases, add-on products, and premium offerings like RealPRO Select. Dow Jones's revenue growth stemmed from higher circulation and subscription, particularly in professional information products such as Risk & Compliance and Dow Jones Energy, with digital revenues comprising 84% of the segment's total. Book Publishing revenues rose due to physical and digital sales, notably Rachel Reid's Game Changers series, though segment EBITDA declined for the nine months due to a $16 million inventory write-off and a $13 million customer receivable write-off. News Media revenues increased, aided by foreign currency fluctuations and digital subscriber growth, but segment EBITDA decreased due to lower contributions from News UK and costs associated with the California Post launch. The company refinanced its credit facilities, extending maturity and increasing its revolving facility to $1 billion. It completed a $1 billion stock repurchase program and initiated another $1 billion program, with $851 million remaining. Free cash flow for the nine months was $535 million, and strong full-year growth is expected despite higher capital expenditures. Geopolitical tensions are being monitored for potential inflationary and supply chain impacts, though no material impact has occurred to date.
Feb 6, 2026mda_quarterlyNews Corporation reported a 6% revenue increase for the quarter and 4% for the six months ended December 31, 2025, reaching $2.36 billion and $4.51 billion respectively, driven by strong performances in Dow Jones and Digital Real Estate Services. Dow Jones revenues grew 8% (Q3), with digital representing 82% of total, fueled by Risk & Compliance, Dow Jones Energy, and Wall Street Journal digital subscriptions, alongside higher digital advertising from the financial sector. Digital Real Estate Services saw 8% revenue growth (Q3), with REA Group benefiting from Australian residential and financial services, and Move (Realtor.com) from premium offerings and increased lead volumes. However, net income attributable to stockholders decreased 10% (Q3) and 9% (H1), primarily due to significant write-offs in Book Publishing, including a $16 million inventory write-off at HarperCollins' international operations and a $13 million customer receivable write-off. News Media revenues were flat (Q3), with digital subscriber growth offsetting print advertising declines, while Q3 Segment EBITDA was impacted by News Corp Australia and California Post launch costs. The company maintained strong liquidity with $2.1 billion cash, increased free cash flow to $136 million (H1), and executed $266 million in stock repurchases during the six-month period, with $1.044 billion remaining in the program.
