FOURTH QUARTER COMPANY RESULTS The Company reported total quarterly revenues of $3.29 billion, an increase of $195 million or 6% from the amount reported in the prior year quarter. Affiliate fee revenues increased 3%, driven by 4% growth at the Television segment and 2% growth at the Cable Network Programming segment. Advertising revenues increased 7%, primarily due to continued digital growth led by the Tubi AVOD service, and stronger news ratings and pricing, partially offset by the absence of the prior year broadcasts of the UEFA European Championship and CONMEBOL Copa América. Other revenues increased 33%, primarily due to higher content revenues. The Company reported quarterly net income of $719 million as compared to the $320 million reported in the prior year quarter.

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 June 30, 2025 and 2024: Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 June 30, 2024 Income EPS Income EPS $ Millions, except per share data Net income attributable to Fox Corporation stockholders $ 717 $ 1.57 $ 319 $ 0.68 Restructuring, impairment and other corporate matters 99 0.22 43 0.09 Non-operating other, net (282) (0.62) 86 0.18 Tax provision 47 0.10 (25) (0.05) As adjusted $ 581 $ 1.27 $ 423 $ 0.90 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 twelve months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024: Twelve Months Ended June 30, 2025 June 30, 2024 Income EPS Income EPS $ Millions, except per share data Net income attributable to Fox Corporation stockholders $ 2,263 $ 4.91 $ 1,501 $ 3.13 Restructuring, impairment and other corporate matters 350 0.76 67 0.14 Non-operating other, net (438) (0.95) 47 0.10 Tax provision 27 0.06 (1) — Noncontrolling interest adjustment — — 31 0.06 As adjusted $ 2,202 $ 4.78 $ 1,645 $ 3.43 NOTE 2 – ADJUSTED EBITDA 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, Equity earnings (losses) of affiliates, 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 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. The following table reconciles net income to Adjusted EBITDA for the three and twelve months ended June 30, 2025: Three Months Ended June 30, Twelve Months Ended June 30, 2025 2024 2025 2024 $ Millions Net income $ 719 $ 320 $ 2,293 $ 1,554 Add: Amortization of cable distribution investments 1 4 10 16 Depreciation and amortization 102 98 385 389 Restructuring, impairment and other corporate matters 99 43 350 67 Equity losses of affiliates 18 44 29 44 Interest expense, net 42 47 227 216 Non-operating other, net (282) 86 (438) 47 Income tax expense 240 131 768 550 Adjusted EBITDA $ 939 $ 773 $ 3,624 $ 2,883 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.
