Financially, Fox Corporation reported total quarterly revenues of $3.45 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2024. This is a decrease from the $4.08 billion reported in the prior year. The Television segment saw a 9% growth in affiliate fee revenues, contributing to the overall 4% increase in this category. Advertising revenues were impacted by the absence of Super Bowl LVII and fewer NFL games, totaling $1.24 billion compared to $1.88 billion in the previous year. Other revenues also declined due to timing issues related to sports sublicensing.
Net income for the quarter was $704 million, significantly up from a net loss of $50 million in the prior year. This improvement reflects the absence of legal settlement costs and gains from asset contributions to the United Football League joint venture. Adjusted EBITDA also saw an increase of 7%, reaching $891 million.
Fox Corporation continues to invest in and capitalize on its core strengths, while also exploring new initiatives. The company actively engages with its audience through its owned and operated television stations and streaming service, Tubi. The Murdoch family maintains control of the corporation, steering its strategic direction.
