OVERVIEW OF THE COMPANY’S BUSINESS

The Company is a news, sports and entertainment company, which manages and reports its businesses in four operating segments: Cable Network Programming, Television, Credible and the FOX Studio Lot with the following two reportable segments:

•Cable Network Programming, which produces and licenses news and sports content distributed through traditional cable television systems, direct broadcast satellite operators and telecommunication companies (“traditional MVPDs”), virtual multi-channel video programming distributors (“virtual MVPDs”) and other digital platforms, primarily in the U.S.

•Television, which produces, acquires, markets and distributes programming through the FOX broadcast network, advertising-supported video-on-demand (“AVOD”) service Tubi, 29 full power broadcast television stations, including 11 duopolies, and other digital platforms, primarily in the U.S. Eighteen of the broadcast television stations are affiliated with the FOX Network and 11 are affiliated with MyNetworkTV. The segment also includes various production companies that produce content for the Company and third parties.

The Credible and the FOX Studio Lot operating segments do not meet the criteria under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) to be separately reported as a reportable segment or aggregated with other operating segments, and as such are presented as part of Corporate and Other, which is not a reportable segment. Corporate and Other principally consists of FOX One, the Company’s direct-to-consumer subscription

20

streaming service launched in August 2025, Credible, the FOX Studio Lot and corporate overhead costs. Credible is a U.S. consumer finance marketplace. The FOX Studio Lot, located in Los Angeles, California, provides television and film production services along with office space, studio operation services and includes all operations of the facility.

We use the term "MVPDs" to refer collectively to traditional MVPDs and virtual MVPDs.

Overview

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025

The Company’s revenues decreased $377 million or 9% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the corresponding period of fiscal 2025, primarily due to lower advertising revenue, partially offset by higher distribution and content and other revenues. The increase of $68 million or 3% in distribution revenue was due to the impact of higher average rates per subscriber of approximately $90 million, partially offset by the approximately $20 million impact of a lower average number of subscribers. The decrease of $480 million or 24% in advertising revenue was primarily due to the absence of the February 2025 broadcast of Super Bowl LIX and lower ratings, partially offset by the approximately $200 million impact due to continued digital growth led by the Tubi AVOD service, the broadcast of an additional National Football League (“NFL”) postseason game and higher pricing. The increase of $35 million or 12% in content and other revenues was primarily due to higher sports sublicensing revenue.

Operating expenses decreased $471 million or 16% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the corresponding period of fiscal 2025, primarily due to the approximately $535 million impact of lower sports programming rights amortization and production costs driven by the absence of the February 2025 broadcast of Super Bowl LIX partially offset by the broadcast of an additional NFL postseason game. This decrease was partially offset by the approximately $65 million impact primarily due to costs associated with the launch of Fox One and higher entertainment programming rights amortization and production costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $5 million or 1% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the corresponding period of fiscal 2025, primarily due to lower legal costs.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025

The Company’s revenues decreased $99 million or 1% for the nine months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the corresponding period of fiscal 2025, due to lower advertising revenue, partially offset by higher distribution and content and other revenues. The increase of $184 million or 3% in distribution revenue was due to higher average rates per subscriber and higher fees received from television stations that are affiliated with the FOX Network of approximately $360 million, partially offset by the approximately $175 million impact of a lower average number of subscribers. The decrease of $364 million or 6% in advertising revenue was primarily due to the approximately $435 million impact related to sports programming led by the absence of the February 2025 broadcast of Super Bowl LIX partially offset by the broadcast of additional NFL and Major League Baseball (“MLB”) postseason games and higher pricing. The remaining impact was primarily due to continued digital growth led by the Tubi AVOD service and higher news pricing, partially offset by lower political advertising revenue due to the absence of the 2024 presidential and congressional elections and lower news ratings. The increase of $81 million or 6% in content and other revenues was primarily due to higher sports sublicensing revenue partially offset by lower entertainment production services revenue led by the timing of deliveries.

Operating expenses decreased $286 million or 3% for the nine months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the corresponding period of fiscal 2025, primarily due to the approximately $440 million impact of lower sports programming rights amortization driven by the absence of the February 2025 broadcast of Super Bowl LIX partially offset by higher NFL costs, including the broadcast of an additional NFL postseason game.

OVERVIEW OF THE COMPANY’S BUSINESS

The Company is a news, sports and entertainment company, which manages and reports its businesses in four operating segments: Cable Network Programming, Television, Credible and the FOX Studio Lot with the

38

following two reportable segments:

•Cable Network Programming, which produces and licenses news and sports content distributed through traditional cable television systems, direct broadcast satellite operators and telecommunication companies (“traditional MVPDs”), virtual multi-channel video programming distributors (“virtual MVPDs”) and other digital platforms, primarily in the U.S.

•Television, which produces, acquires, markets and distributes programming through the FOX broadcast network, advertising-supported video-on-demand (“AVOD”) service Tubi, 29 full power broadcast television stations, including 11 duopolies, and other digital platforms, primarily in the U.S. Eighteen of the broadcast television stations are affiliated with the FOX Network and 11 are affiliated with MyNetworkTV. The segment also includes various production companies that produce content for the Company and third parties.

The Credible and the FOX Studio Lot operating segments do not meet the criteria under GAAP to be separately reported as a reportable segment or aggregated with other operating segments, and as such are presented as part of Corporate and Other, which is not a reportable segment. Corporate and Other principally consists of FOX One, the Company’s direct-to-consumer subscription streaming service launched in August 2025, Credible, the FOX Studio Lot and corporate overhead costs. Credible is a U.S. consumer finance marketplace. The FOX Studio Lot, located in Los Angeles, California, provides television and film production services along with office space, studio operation services and includes all operations of the facility.

We use the term "MVPDs" to refer collectively to traditional MVPDs and virtual MVPDs.

The Company’s Cable Network Programming and Television segments derive the majority of their revenues from distribution fees for the transmission of content and advertising sales. For fiscal 2026, the Company generated revenues of $17 billion, of which approximately 47% was generated from distribution revenue, approximately 43% was generated from advertising, and approximately 10% was generated from other operating activities.

Distribution revenue primarily includes (i) monthly subscriber-based license and retransmission consent fees paid by programming distributors that carry the Company’s cable networks and owned and operated television stations, (ii) fees received from non-owned and operated television stations that are affiliated with the FOX Network and (iii) monthly or annual subscription fees for the right to access and stream content on the Company’s direct-to-consumer streaming services. U.S. law governing retransmission consent provides a mechanism for the television stations owned by the Company to seek and obtain payment from MVPDs that carry the Company’s broadcast signals.

Advertising revenue primarily includes (i) sales of commercial time within the Company’s network programming and (ii) sales of advertising on the Company’s owned and operated television stations and various digital properties.

For more information, see Item 1. “Business” and Item 1A. “Risk Factors.”

Roku Transaction

On June 14, 2026, the Company and Roku, Inc. (“Roku”) entered into a definitive agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) under which the Company has agreed to acquire Roku for a combination of cash and FOX Class A Common Stock (the “Roku Transaction” or the “Merger”). Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, FOX will pay $96.00 in cash and 0.9693 shares of FOX Class A Common Stock for each share of Roku Class A Common Stock and Roku Class B Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger. The exchange ratio is fixed and will not be adjusted. Following the completion of the Merger, Roku will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of FOX.

Each of the Boards of Directors of FOX and Roku have unanimously approved the transaction, which is also subject to requisite approval by FOX and Roku stockholders, clearance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, the receipt of consents or approvals under certain other antitrust laws and certain investment screening laws and other customary conditions. The Merger Agreement contains customary termination rights and provides that each party will be required to pay the other party a

39

termination fee of approximately $866 million if the Merger Agreement is terminated in certain circumstances, including due to a change in the recommendation of its board of directors. In addition, FOX will be required to pay Roku a termination fee of approximately $1.2 billion if the Merger Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances related to the failure to obtain certain regulatory approvals or upon the entry of a permanent restraint under certain antitrust laws or investment screening laws. FOX has also agreed to reimburse Roku for up to $70 million for reasonable third-party costs and expenses incurred by Roku in connection with the transaction if FOX is unable to obtain the required approval of its Class B Common stockholders of the issuance of FOX Class A Common Stock in connection with the transaction.

The Company expects to fund the cash portion of the Merger consideration with a combination of debt and cash on hand. In connection with the Merger Agreement, in June 2026, the Company entered into a commitment letter under which the lenders provided $12.0 billion of commitments ($11.0 billion of which is available as of June 30, 2026) to provide senior unsecured bridge loans (the “Bridge Facility”) and a term loan credit agreement under which the lenders committed to provide a $1.0 billion senior unsecured term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) (See Note 9—Borrowings to the accompanying Financial Statements).
