During the second quarter of fiscal 2025, the assets and liabilities of the Foxtel Group (“Foxtel”) were classified as held for sale and the results of operations and cash flows have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Furthermore, upon reclassification of Foxtel’s results, the Subscription Video Services segment ceased to be a reportable segment and the residual results of the segment were aggregated into the News Media segment. Unless indicated otherwise, the information in the notes to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements relates to the Company’s continuing operations. See Note 2—Discontinued Operations.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company, which are referred to herein as the “Consolidated Financial Statements,” have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“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 Consolidated Financial Statements. Operating results for the interim period 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 Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts that are reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated, with the exception of those pertaining to Foxtel that are expected to continue after the sale. Equity investments in which the Company exercises significant influence but does not exercise control and is not the primary beneficiary are accounted for using the equity method. Investments in which the Company is not able to exercise significant influence over the investee are measured at fair value, if the fair value is readily determinable. If an investment’s fair value is not readily determinable, the Company will measure the investment at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus changes in fair value resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer.

The consolidated statements of operations are referred to herein as the “Statements of Operations.” The consolidated balance sheets are referred to herein as the “Balance Sheets.” The consolidated statements of cash flows are referred to herein as the “Statements of Cash Flows.”

The accompanying 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 (the “SEC”) on August 13, 2024 (the “2024 Form 10-K”).

The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Sunday closest to June 30. Fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024 include 52 weeks. All references to the three and six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 relate to the three and six months ended December 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. For convenience purposes, the Company continues to date its Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period consolidated financial statements to conform to the current fiscal year presentation.

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). The amendments in ASU 2023-07 expand public entities’ segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of other segment items and expanded interim disclosures that align with those required annually, among other provisions. ASU 2023-07 requires the amendments to be applied retrospectively and is effective for the Company’s annual reporting period beginning on July 1, 2024 and interim reporting periods beginning on July 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2023-07 will have on its financial statement disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). The amendments in ASU 2023-09 require disaggregated disclosure of material categories in effective tax rate reconciliations as well as disclosure of income taxes paid by specific domestic and foreign jurisdictions. Additionally, the amendments eliminate certain disclosures currently required under Topic 740. ASU 2023-09 is effective for the Company’s annual reporting period beginning on July 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2023-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”). The amendments in ASU 2024-03 require public entities to disclose specified information about certain costs and expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for the Company’s annual reporting period beginning on July 1, 2027 and interim reporting periods beginning on July 1, 2028, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2024-03 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell Foxtel to DAZN Group Limited (“DAZN”), a global sports streaming platform. Under the terms of the agreement, amounts outstanding under Foxtel’s shareholder loans with News Corp (A$574 million of outstanding principal, including capitalized interest, as of December 31, 2024) will be repaid in full in cash at closing. Foxtel’s third-party borrowings will transfer with the business, and News Corp will receive a minority equity interest in DAZN of approximately 6% and hold one seat on its Board of Directors. Telstra Group Ltd will also sell its minority interest in Foxtel. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of fiscal 2025, subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.

As a result of the progression of the sale process and the discontinuation of further significant business activities in the Subscription Video Services segment, the assets and liabilities of Foxtel were classified as held for sale and the results of operations and cash flows have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented in accordance with ASC 205-20, Discontinued Operations (“ASC 205-20”), as the disposition reflects a strategic shift that has, and will have, a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. Upon reclassification of Foxtel’s results, the Company determined that the Subscription Video Services segment was no longer a reportable segment and the residual results of the segment were aggregated into the News Media segment. News Media segment results have been recast to reflect this change for all periods presented. See Note 12—Segment Information.

In all periods presented, transactions between Foxtel and the continuing operations of the Company that are not expected to continue after the sale are eliminated, whereas those expected to continue are no longer eliminated.

The following table summarizes the assets and liabilities of Foxtel classified to held for sale:

(a)The assets and liabilities held for sale are classified as current on the December 31, 2024 balance sheet as the transaction is expected to close within one year of that balance sheet date.
