News Corporation, a global media and information services company, operates across various sectors such as digital real estate, book publishing, and subscription video services. Recently, the company announced its first-quarter fiscal 2025 results, revealing a solid start to the year with notable financial improvements.
The company reported its highest first-quarter revenue since its separation, amounting to $2.58 billion, marking a 3% increase from the previous year. This growth was primarily driven by strong performances in the Digital Real Estate Services, Book Publishing, and Dow Jones segments. Net income saw a remarkable rise to $144 million, a 148% increase from the year prior, while total Segment EBITDA reached $415 million, reflecting a 14% improvement.
Key highlights include a 22% revenue increase at REA Group, spurred by the robust performance in Australian residential markets. The Dow Jones segment also experienced growth, particularly in its professional information business, while the Book Publishing segment benefited from a rise in digital book sales. Despite some challenges in the News Media segment, the company maintained its upward trajectory through strategic initiatives and market adaptation.
Looking forward, News Corporation’s management remains optimistic about sustaining its momentum, despite global economic uncertainties. The company continues to focus on digital transformation and strategic partnerships, which are expected to drive future growth and stability.
