FOX REPORTS FULL YEAR FISCAL 2024
REVENUES OF $13.98 BILLION,
NET INCOME OF $1.55 BILLION, AND
ADJUSTED EBITDA OF $2.88 BILLION
NEW YORK, Aug. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Fox Corporation (Nasdaq: FOXA, FOX; “FOX” or the “Company”) today reported financial results for the three and twelve months ended June 30, 2024.
Commenting on the results, Executive Chair and Chief Executive Officer Lachlan Murdoch said:
“Fiscal 2024 was another successful year for FOX with very clear achievements across our portfolio, including delivering strong total company affiliate revenue growth each quarter from our ongoing renewals, cementing Tubi’s position as the most watched free TV and movie streaming service in the United States, and generating reinvigorated ratings and share growth at FOX News. We now carry this momentum into another major event cycle with fiscal 2025 featuring the Presidential Election and Super Bowl. The soundness of our strategy, the consistency of our delivery and the strength of our financial position have never distinguished us more and underpin our confidence in the future at FOX and in delivering shareholder value.”
FOURTH QUARTER COMPANY RESULTS
The Company reported total quarterly revenues of $3.09 billion, an increase of $60 million or 2% from the amount reported in the prior year quarter. Affiliate fee revenues increased 5%, driven by 9% growth at the Television segment and 2% growth at the Cable Network Programming segment. Advertising revenues were consistent with the prior year quarter, as FOX Sports’ “Summer of Soccer”, including the broadcasts of the UEFA European Championship and CONMEBOL Copa América, along with continued growth at Tubi were offset by lower ratings and pricing at the FOX Network. Other revenues were $226 million as compared to the $253 million reported in the prior year quarter, primarily due to a lower volume of third-party content sales in the current year quarter.
The Company reported quarterly net income of $320 million as compared to the $369 million reported in the prior year quarter. The variance includes the change in fair value of the Company’s investments recognized in Non-operating other, net. Net income attributable to Fox Corporation stockholders was $319 million ($0.68 per share) as compared to the $375 million ($0.74 per share) reported in the prior year quarter. Adjusted net income attributable to Fox Corporation stockholders1 was $423 million ($0.90 per share) as compared to the $443 million ($0.88 per share) reported in the prior year quarter.
Quarterly Adjusted EBITDA2 was $773 million, an increase of $38 million or 5% from the prior year quarter, primarily due to the revenue increases noted above, partially offset by higher expenses. The increase in expenses was driven by the broadcasts of the UEFA European Championship and CONMEBOL Copa América along with increased digital investment at Tubi, partially offset by the deconsolidation of the USFL and lower entertainment programming costs.
FULL YEAR COMPANY RESULTS
The Company reported total full year revenues of $13.98 billion as compared to the $14.91 billion reported in the prior year. Affiliate fee revenues increased 4%, led by 9% growth at the Television segment. Advertising revenues were $5.44 billion as compared to the $6.61 billion reported in the prior year, primarily due to the absence of the prior year broadcasts of Super Bowl LVII and the FIFA Men’s World Cup (“Men’s World Cup”) at FOX Sports and lower political advertising revenues at the FOX Television Stations due to the absence of the prior year midterm elections, partially offset by continued growth at Tubi. Other revenues were $1.21 billion as compared to the $1.26 billion reported in the prior year, primarily due to lower content revenues at FOX Entertainment studios as a result of the 2023 industry guild labor disputes, partially offset by higher sports sublicensing revenues.
The Company reported full year net income of $1.55 billion as compared to the $1.25 billion reported in the prior year. The variance primarily reflects the absence of prior year charges associated with legal settlement costs at FOX News Media recognized in Restructuring, impairment and other corporate matters and a gain on USFL assets contributed to the United Football League joint venture recognized in Non-operating other, net in the current year, partially offset by the change in fair value of the Company’s investments recognized in Non-operating other, net. Net Income attributable to Fox Corporation stockholders was $1.50 billion ($3.13 per share) as compared to the $1.24 billion ($2.33 per share) reported in the prior year. Adjusted net income attributable to Fox Corporation stockholders was $1.65 billion ($3.43 per share) as compared to the $1.87 billion ($3.51 per share) reported in the prior year.
Full year Adjusted EBITDA was $2.88 billion as compared to the $3.19 billion reported in the prior year, primarily due to the revenue decreases noted above, partially offset by lower expenses. The decrease in expenses was driven by the absence of the prior year broadcasts of Super Bowl LVII and the Men’s World Cup and lower entertainment programming costs, partially offset by the impact of the renewed NFL contract.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2024
Cable Network Programming reported quarterly segment revenues of $1.44 billion, an increase of $28 million or 2% from the amount reported in the prior year quarter. Affiliate fee revenues increased $21 million or 2% as contractual price increases were partially offset by the impact of net subscriber declines. Advertising revenues increased $8 million or 3%, primarily due to the broadcasts of the CONMEBOL Copa América and UEFA European Championship at the national sports networks and growth in pricing, higher ratings and lower preemptions, partially offset by lower political advertising revenues at FOX News Media. Other revenues were essentially unchanged from the prior year quarter.
Cable Network Programming reported quarterly segment EBITDA of $703 million, an increase of $118 million or 20% from the amount reported in the prior year quarter, primarily due to the revenue increases noted above and lower expenses. The decrease in expenses was driven by the deconsolidation of the USFL and lower programming costs at FOX News Media, partially offset by costs associated with the UEFA European Championship and CONMEBOL Copa América.
Twelve Months Ended June 30, 2024
Cable Network Programming reported full year segment revenues of $5.96 billion as compared to the $6.04 billion reported in the prior year. Affiliate fee revenues increased $13 million from the prior year, as contractual price increases were partially offset by the impact of net subscriber declines. Advertising revenues were $1.26 billion as compared to the $1.40 billion reported in the prior year, primarily due to the impact of lower ratings and elevated supply in the direct response marketplace, partially offset by higher national pricing at FOX News Media, as well as the absence of the prior year broadcast of the Men’s World Cup at the national sports networks. Other revenues increased $40 million or 9%, led by higher sports sublicensing revenues.
Cable Network Programming reported full year segment EBITDA of $2.69 billion, an increase of $221 million or 9% from the prior year, as the revenue decreases noted above were more than offset by lower expenses. The decrease in expenses was primarily due to lower programming rights amortization and production costs at the national sports networks, led by the absence of the prior year broadcast of the Men’s World Cup, lower programming and legal costs at FOX News Media and the deconsolidation of the USFL.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2024
Television reported quarterly segment revenues of $1.62 billion, an increase of $28 million or 2% from the amount reported in the prior year quarter. Advertising revenues were $679 million as compared to the $688 million reported in the prior year quarter as lower ratings and pricing at the FOX Network were offset by the broadcasts of the UEFA European Championship and CONMEBOL Copa América at FOX Sports and continued growth at Tubi. Affiliate fee revenues increased $67 million or 9%, driven by increases in fees from third-party FOX affiliates and higher average rates at the Company’s owned and operated television stations. Other revenues were $125 million as compared to the $155 million reported in the prior year quarter, primarily due to a lower volume of third-party content sales.
Television reported quarterly segment EBITDA of $148 million as compared to the $227 million reported in the prior year quarter, as the revenue increases noted above were more than offset by higher expenses. The increase in expenses was primarily due to costs associated with the UEFA European Championship and CONMEBOL Copa América, along with increased digital investment at Tubi, partially offset by lower programming costs at FOX Entertainment.
Twelve Months Ended June 30, 2024
Television reported full year segment revenues of $7.88 billion as compared to the $8.71 billion reported in the prior year. Advertising revenues were $4.18 billion as compared to the $5.20 billion reported in the prior year, driven by the absence of the prior year broadcasts of Super Bowl LVII and the Men’s World Cup at FOX Sports, lower political advertising revenues at the FOX Television Stations due to the absence of the prior year midterm elections and lower ratings at the FOX Network. These were partially offset by continued growth at Tubi. Affiliate fee revenues increased $260 million or 9%, driven by increases in fees from third-party FOX affiliates and higher average rates at the Company’s owned and operated television stations. Other revenues were $557 million as compared to the $630 million reported in the prior year, primarily due to lower content revenues at FOX Entertainment studios as a result of the 2023 industry guild labor disputes.
Television reported full year segment EBITDA of $506 million as compared to the $1.01 billion reported in the prior year, primarily due to the revenue decreases noted above, partially offset by lower expenses. The decrease in expenses was driven by lower sports and entertainment programming rights amortization and production costs, including the absence of the prior year broadcasts of Super Bowl LVII and the Men’s World Cup and fewer hours of original scripted programming due to the impact of the 2023 industry guild labor disputes, partially offset by the impact of the renewed NFL contract.

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 provisions 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 June 30, 2024 and 2023:

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.
