EARNINGS RELEASE FOR THE QUARTER ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025
FOX REPORTS SECOND QUARTER FISCAL 2026
REVENUES OF $5.18 BILLION,
NET INCOME OF $247 MILLION, AND
ADJUSTED EBITDA OF $692 MILLION
NEW YORK, NY, February 4, 2026 – Fox Corporation (Nasdaq: FOXA, FOX; “FOX” or the “Company”) today reported financial results for the three months ended December 31, 2025.
The Company reported total quarterly revenues of $5.18 billion, an increase of $104 million or 2% from the amount reported in the prior year quarter. Distribution revenues increased 4%, primarily driven by 5% growth at the Cable Network Programming segment. Advertising revenues increased 1%, primarily due to higher sports and news pricing, continued digital growth led by the Tubi AVOD service, and the impact of additional MLB postseason games, partially offset by lower political advertising revenues and lower ratings. Content and other revenues were essentially unchanged from the prior year quarter.
The Company reported quarterly net income of $247 million as compared to the $388 million reported in the prior year quarter. Net income attributable to Fox Corporation stockholders was $229 million ($0.52 per share) as compared to the $373 million ($0.81 per share) reported in the prior year quarter. Adjusted net income attributable to Fox Corporation stockholders1 was $360 million ($0.82 per share) as compared to the $442 million ($0.96 per share) reported in the prior year quarter.
Quarterly Adjusted EBITDA2 was $692 million as compared to $781 million reported in the prior year quarter as the revenue increase noted above was more than offset by higher expenses. The increase in expenses was primarily due to higher sports programming rights amortization and production costs, and higher digital marketing costs, partially offset by lower entertainment programming rights amortization and production costs.
Commenting on the results, Executive Chair and Chief Executive Officer Lachlan Murdoch said:
"FOX delivered robust results in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 with broad based contributions from across our portfolio, including notable strength in advertising, where despite strong political advertising revenues a year ago, we still grew total company advertising revenue. These results represent a continuation of the operating and financial momentum that we have delivered over the last several years and are a product of both a highly differentiated strategy and high quality execution that reflect the power of our leadership brands across news, sports, streaming and entertainment.”
1 Excludes 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. See Note 1 for a description of adjusted net income attributable to Fox Corporation stockholders and adjusted earnings per share attributable to Fox Corporation stockholders, which are considered non-GAAP financial measures, and a reconciliation of reported net income attributable to Fox Corporation stockholders and earnings per share attributable to Fox Corporation stockholders to adjusted net income attributable to Fox Corporation stockholders and adjusted earnings per share attributable to Fox Corporation stockholders.

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 December 31, 2025 and 2024:

EARNINGS RELEASE FOR THE QUARTER ENDED DECEMBER 31, 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: 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.
