NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Fox Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“FOX” or the “Company”), is a news, sports and entertainment company, which manages and reports its businesses in the following segments: Cable Network Programming, Television and Other, Corporate and Eliminations.

The accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of FOX have been prepared in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“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 Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. Operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2022, due to, among other things, the impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) on the Company’s business.

The preparation of the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts that are reported in the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying disclosures. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions that the Company may undertake in the future, actual results may differ from those estimates.

These interim Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated and combined financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 10, 2021 (the “2021 Form 10-K”).

The Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of FOX. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts within the Company’s consolidated businesses have been eliminated. Investments in and advances to entities or joint ventures in which the Company has significant influence, but less than a controlling financial interest, are accounted for using the equity method. Significant influence generally exists when the Company owns an interest between 20% and 50%. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 321 “Investments—Equity Securities” (“ASC 321”), equity securities in which the Company has no significant influence (generally less than a 20% ownership interest) with readily determinable fair values are accounted for at fair value based on quoted market prices. Equity securities without readily determinable fair values are accounted for either at fair value or using the measurement alternative method, which is at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. All gains and losses on investments in equity securities are recognized in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company’s fiscal year ends on June 30 of each year. Certain fiscal 2021 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the fiscal 2022 presentation.

The unaudited and audited consolidated financial statements are referred to as the “Financial Statements” herein. The unaudited consolidated statements of operations are referred to as the “Statements of Operations” herein. The unaudited and audited consolidated balance sheets are referred to as the “Balance Sheets” herein.

Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Guidance

No recently adopted or issued accounting guidance materially impacted or are expected to impact the Company's Financial Statements.

companies, for total cash consideration of approximately $240 million. The revenues and Segment EBITDA (as defined in Note 10—Segment Information) included within the Company's consolidated results of operations associated with the fiscal 2022 and 2021 ~~acquisition disclosed~~transactions (disclosed in Note 3—Acquisitions, Disposals and Other Transactions in the 2021 Form 10-K under the heading “Acquisitions and ~~Disposals,”~~Disposals”) were not material individually or in the aggregate. For the fiscal 2021 acquisition, the accounting for the business combination, including consideration transferred, is based on provisional amounts and the allocation of the consideration transferred is not final. The amounts allocated to intangibles and goodwill, the estimates of useful lives and the related amortization expense are subject to changes pending the completion of the final valuation of certain assets and liabilities. A change in the allocation of consideration transferred and any estimates of useful lives could result in a change in the value allocated to the intangible assets that could impact future amortization expense.

NOTE 3. INVENTORIES, NET

The Company’s inventories were comprised of the following:

The aggregate amortization expense related to the programming rights was approximately ~~$800 million~~$1.2 billion and ~~$670 million~~$1.0 billion for the three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and ~~2020,~~approximately $4.6 billion and $4.0 billion for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, which is included in Operating expenses in the Statements of Operations.

The Company evaluates the recoverability of unamortized programming and production costs, included within Inventories, net in the Balance Sheets, using expected future cash flows. As a result of COVID-19 related costs and production delays, the Company determined that its unamortized production costs related to a television series were not recoverable and therefore recognized a write-down of approximately $30 million at the Television segment, which was recorded in Operating expenses in the Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022.

NOTE 4. FAIR VALUE

In accordance with ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” fair value measurements are required to be disclosed using a three-tiered fair value hierarchy which distinguishes market participant assumptions into the following categories: (i) inputs that are quoted prices in active markets (“Level 1”); (ii) inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities (“Level 2”); and (iii) inputs that require the entity to use its own assumptions about market participant assumptions (“Level 3”).

(a)			The investment categorized as Level 1 represents an investment in equity securities of Flutter Entertainment plc (“Flutter”) with a readily determinable fair value (See Note 3—Acquisitions, Disposals and Other Transactions in the 2021 Form 10-K under the heading “Flutter” for additional information).


(b)			The Company utilizes both the market and income approach valuation ~~technique~~techniques for its Level 3 fair value measures. Inputs to such measures could include observable market data obtained from independent sources such as broker quotes and recent market transactions for similar assets. It is the Company’s policy to maximize the use of observable inputs in the measurement of its Level 3 fair value measurements. To the extent observable inputs are not available, the Company utilizes unobservable inputs based upon the assumptions market participants would use in valuing the liability. Examples of utilized unobservable inputs are future cash flows and long-term growth rates.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

The Company accounts for redeemable noncontrolling interests in accordance with ASC 480-10-S99-3A, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” because their exercise is outside the control of the Company. The redeemable noncontrolling interests recorded are put rights held by minority shareholders in ~~a majority-owned sports network,~~ Credible Labs Inc. ("Credible") and an entertainment production company.

(a)			The increase for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022 was primarily due to the acquisition of an entertainment production company.
(b)			As a result of the exercise of a portion of the put rights held by the sports network minority shareholder during the nine months ended March 31, 2021, approximately $135 million was reclassified out of Redeemable noncontrolling interests. At closing, the Company paid half of the purchase price in cash and delivered a three-year promissory note for the remaining balance, which was recorded in Non-current liabilities on the Balance Sheet.
(c)			As a result of the expiration of the sports network minority shareholder's final put right during the nine months ended March 31, 2022, approximately $110 million was reclassified into equity.

As of September 30, 2021, the final portion of the sports network minority shareholder's put right was exercisable. In October 2021, this portion of the minority shareholder's put right expired and, as a result, approximately $110 million will be reclassified into equity in the Financial Statements for the three months ending December 31, 2021. The put right held by the Credible minority shareholder will become exercisable in fiscal 2025. The put right held by the entertainment production company's minority shareholder will become exercisable in fiscal 2027.

Commitments

The Company has commitments under certain firm contractual arrangements (“firm commitments”) to make future payments. These firm commitments secure the future rights to various assets and services to be used in the normal course of operations. The total firm commitments and future debt payments as of ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021 were approximately ~~$46~~$43 billion and $47 billion, respectively. The decrease from June 30, 2021 was primarily due to sports programming rights payments.

Contingencies

FOX News

The Company’s FOX News business and certain of its current and former employees have been subject to allegations of sexual harassment and discrimination on the basis of sex and race. The Company has resolved many of these claims and is contesting other claims in litigation. The Company has also received regulatory and investigative inquiries relating to these matters. To date, none of the amounts paid in settlements or reserved for pending or future claims is material, individually or in the aggregate, to the Company. The amount of additional liability, if any, that may result from these or related matters cannot be estimated at this time. However, the Company does not currently anticipate that the ultimate resolution of any such pending matters will have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

U.K. Newspaper Matters Indemnity

In connection with the separation of Twenty-First Century Fox, Inc. (now known as TFCF Corporation) ("21CF") and News Corporation in June 2013 (the “21CF News Corporation Separation”), 21CF agreed to indemnify News Corporation, on an after-tax basis, for payments made after the 21CF News Corporation Separation arising out of civil claims and investigations relating to phone hacking, illegal data access and inappropriate payments to public officials that occurred at subsidiaries of News Corporation before the 21CF News Corporation Separation, as well as legal and professional fees and expenses paid in connection with the related criminal matters, other than fees, expenses and costs relating to employees who are not (i) directors, officers or certain designated employees or (ii) with respect to civil matters, co-defendants with News Corporation (the “U.K. Newspaper Matters Indemnity”). In accordance with the Separation Agreement (as defined in Note 1—Description of Business and Basis of Presentation in the 2021 Form 10-K under the heading “The Distribution”), the Company assumed certain costs and liabilities related to the U.K. Newspaper Matters

FOX CORPORATION

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Indemnity. The liability recorded in the Balance Sheets related to the indemnity was approximately ~~$45~~$65 million and $55 million as of ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively.

Defamation and Disparagement Claims

From time to time, the Company and its news businesses, including FOX News Media and the FOX Television Stations, and their employees are subject to lawsuits alleging defamation or disparagement. These include lawsuits filed by Smartmatic USA Corp. and certain of its affiliates (collectively, “Smartmatic”) in February 2021 and Dominion Voting Systems, Inc. and certain of its affiliates (collectively, “Dominion”) in March 2021. The Company believes these lawsuits, including the Smartmatic and Dominion matters, are without merit and intends to defend against them vigorously. To date, none of the amounts the Company has paid in settlements of defamation or disparagement claims or reserved for pending or future claims is material, individually or in the aggregate, to the Company. The amount of additional liability, if any, that may result from these or related matters cannot be estimated at this time. However, the Company does not currently anticipate that the ultimate resolution of any such pending matters will have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Other

The Company establishes an accrued liability for legal claims and indemnification claims when the Company determines that a loss is both probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Once established, accruals are adjusted from time to time, as appropriate, in light of additional information. The

~~FOX CORPORATION~~

~~NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS~~

amount of any loss ultimately incurred in relation to matters for which an accrual has been established may be higher or lower than the amounts accrued for such matters. Any fees, expenses, fines, penalties, judgments or settlements which might be incurred by the Company in connection with the various proceedings could affect the Company’s results of operations and financial condition. For the contingencies disclosed above for which there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss may be incurred, other than the accrual provided, the Company was unable to estimate the amount of loss or range of loss.

The Company’s operations are subject to tax in various domestic jurisdictions and as a matter of course, the Company is regularly audited by federal and state tax authorities. The Company believes it has appropriately accrued for the expected outcome of all pending tax matters and does not currently anticipate that the ultimate resolution of pending tax matters will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition, future results of operations or liquidity. Each member of the 21CF consolidated group, which includes 21CF, the Company (prior to the Distribution (as defined in Note 1—Description of Business and Basis of Presentation in the 2021 Form 10-K under the heading “The Distribution”)) and 21CF’s other subsidiaries, is jointly and severally liable for the U.S. federal income and, in certain jurisdictions, state tax liabilities of each other member of the consolidated group. Consequently, the Company could be liable in the event any such liability is incurred, and not discharged, by any other member of the 21CF consolidated group. The tax matters agreement entered into in connection with the Separation (as defined in Note 1—Description of Business and Basis of Presentation in the 2021 Form 10-K under the heading “The Distribution”) requires 21CF and/or The Walt Disney Company ("Disney") to indemnify the Company for any such liability. Disputes or assessments could arise during future audits by the Internal Revenue Service in amounts that the Company cannot quantify.

NOTE 9. PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS

The Company participates in and/or sponsors various pension, savings and postretirement benefit plans. Pension plans and postretirement benefit plans are closed to new participants with the exception of a small group covered by collective bargaining agreements. The net periodic benefit cost was $14 million and $17 million for the three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and ~~2020,~~$41 million and $51 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

NOTE 10. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company is a news, sports and entertainment company, which manages and reports its businesses in the following segments:

•Television, which principally consists of the production, acquisition, marketing and distribution of broadcast network programming and free advertising-supported video-on-demand (“AVOD”) services under the FOX and Tubi brands, respectively, and the operation of 29 full power broadcast television stations, including 11 duopolies, in the U.S. Of these stations, 18 are affiliated with the FOX Network, 10 are affiliated with MyNetworkTV and 1 is an independent station.

The Company’s operating segments have been determined in accordance with the Company’s internal management structure, which is organized based on operating activities. The Company evaluates performance based upon several factors, of which the primary financial measure is segment operating income before depreciation and amortization, or Segment EBITDA. Due to the integrated nature of these operating segments, estimates and judgments are made in allocating certain assets, revenues and expenses.

~~FOX CORPORATION~~

~~NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS~~

Segment EBITDA is defined as Revenues less Operating expenses and Selling, general and administrative expenses. Segment EBITDA does not include: Amortization of cable distribution investments, Depreciation and amortization, Impairment and restructuring charges, Interest expense, net, Other, net and Income tax expense. Management believes that Segment EBITDA is an appropriate measure for evaluating the operating performance of the Company’s business segments because it is the primary measure used by the Company’s chief operating decision maker to evaluate the performance of and allocate resources to the Company’s businesses.

Overview

For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021

The Company’s revenues increased ~~12%~~7% for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, as compared to the corresponding period of fiscal 2021, due to higher affiliate fee, advertising and other revenues. The increase in affiliate fee revenue was primarily due to higher average rates per subscriber, led by contractual rate increases on existing affiliate agreements, partially offset by a lower average number of subscribers. The increase in advertising revenue was primarily attributable to higher pricing and ratings at FOX News Media, growth at Tubi, and higher sports ratings and pricing partially offset by lower entertainment ratings at the FOX Network. The increase in other revenues was primarily attributable to higher sports sublicensing revenues due to the impact of coronavirus disease 2019 ("COVID-19") in the prior year quarter, the current year quarter impact of acquisitions of entertainment production companies, and higher FOX Nation subscription revenues, partially offset by the

impact of the divestiture of the Company's sports marketing businesses (See Note 3—Acquisitions, Disposals and Other Transactions in the 2021 Form 10-K under the heading “Acquisitions and Disposals").

Operating expenses increased 15% for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the corresponding period of fiscal 2021, primarily due to higher sports programming rights amortization and production costs primarily related to National Football League (“NFL”) and college basketball content, which was impacted by COVID-19 in the prior year quarter. Also contributing to this increase was increased digital investment at Tubi and FOX News Media, and higher entertainment programming rights amortization principally due to the recognition of an approximately $30 million write-down of unamortized production costs related to a television series as a result of COVID-19 related costs and production delays.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021

The Company’s revenues increased 9% for the nine months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the corresponding period of fiscal 2021, due to higher affiliate fee, advertising and other revenues. The increase in affiliate fee revenue was primarily due to higher average rates per subscriber, led by contractual rate increases on existing affiliate agreements and from affiliate agreement renewals, partially offset by a lower average number of subscribers. Also impacting the increase was the absence of prior year affiliate fee credits as a result of the COVID-19 related under-delivery of college football games. The increase in advertising revenue was primarily due to higher pricing at the FOX Network and FOX News Media, growth at Tubi, and ~~the strength of the schedule~~a higher number of live events at ~~FOX Sports and original scripted programming at FOX Entertainment as compared~~the national sports networks due to the impact of COVID-19 in the prior year ~~quarter, which~~period. Partially offsetting this increase was ~~impacted by coronavirus disease 2019 ("COVID-19"), partially offset by~~ lower political advertising revenue at the FOX Television Stations due to the absence of the prior year presidential and congressional ~~elections in the current quarter.~~elections. The increase in other revenues was primarily due to higher sports sublicensing revenues ~~related to college sports and higher revenues generated from Premier Boxing Champions ("PBC") pay-per-view events due to the impact of~~which were impacted by COVID-19 in the prior year ~~quarter~~period, the current year period impact of acquisitions of entertainment production companies, and higher FOX Nation subscription revenues, partially offset by the impact of the divestiture of the Company's sports marketing businesses.

Operating expenses increased ~~35%~~16% for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, as compared to the corresponding period of fiscal 2021, primarily due to higher sports ~~and entertainment~~ programming rights amortization ~~as a result of~~and production costs related to NFL, Major League Baseball (“MLB”) and college football content including a higher number of live events due to the impact of COVID-19 in the prior year period, increased digital investment at Tubi, and higher entertainment programming rights amortization and marketing costs due to more hours of original scripted programming as compared to the prior year ~~quarter~~period, which was impacted by COVID-19. ~~Also contributing to this~~This increase was ~~higher~~partially offset by the absence of events that were shifted into the prior year period as a result of COVID-19 rescheduling, including National Association of Stock Car Auto Racing (“NASCAR”) Cup Series races and additional MLB regular season games, and the impact of the divestiture of the Company's sports ~~production costs~~marketing businesses.

Income tax expense—The ~~Company’s~~Company's tax provision and related effective tax rate of 26% for the three and nine months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2022 was higher than the statutory rate of 21% primarily due to state taxes.

The Company’s tax provision and related effective tax rate of 25% for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021 was higher than the statutory rate of 21% primarily due to state taxes and, ~~other permanent items.~~

~~The Company’s tax provision and related effective tax rate of 24%~~ for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021, was ~~higher than the statutory rate of 21% primarily due to state taxes,~~ partially offset by a benefit from the reduction of uncertain tax positions for state tax audits.

Net income—Net income decreased ~~37%~~50% and 52% for the three and nine months ended ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, respectively, as compared to the corresponding ~~period~~periods of fiscal 2021, primarily due to the ~~substantially resolved settlement~~change in fair value

of the Company’s investment in Flutter Entertainment plc and lower Segment EBITDA (as defined below) at the Television segment. Also contributing to the decrease for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 was the absence of the reimbursement from The Walt Disney Company ("Disney") of $462 million related to the ~~reimbursement~~substantial settlement of the Company’s prepayment of its share of the Divestiture Tax, which occurred during the nine months ended March 31, 2021 (See Note 11—Additional Financial Information to the accompanying Financial Statements under the heading “Other, ~~net.”~~net”).

For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021

Revenues at the Cable Network Programming segment increased 7%8% for thethree months ended ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, as compared to the corresponding period of fiscal 2021, due to higher affiliate fee, advertising and other revenues. The increase in affiliate fee revenue was primarily ~~attributable~~due to contractual rate increases on existing affiliate agreements, ~~and from affiliate agreement renewals,~~ partially offset by a lower average number of subscribers. The decrease in the average number of subscribers was due to a reduction in traditional MVPD subscribers, partially offset by an increase in digital MVPD subscribers. The increase in advertising revenue was primarily due to higher pricing and ratings, partially offset by the effect of higher preemptions associated with breaking news coverage at FOX News Media. The increase in other revenues was primarily due to higher sports sublicensing revenues, which were impacted by COVID-19 in the prior year quarter, and higher FOX Nation subscription revenues, partially offset by the impact of the divestiture of the Company's sports marketing businesses.

Cable Network Programming Segment EBITDA increased 2% for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the corresponding period of fiscal 2021, primarily due to the revenue increases noted above, partially offset by higher expenses. Operating expenses increased primarily due to higher sports programming rights amortization and production costs principally related to college basketball content, which was impacted by COVID-19 in the prior year quarter, and higher investment in digital growth initiatives at FOX News Media. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased principally due to higher marketing

expenses at FOX News Media, partially offset by the impact of the divestiture of the Company's sports marketing businesses.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021

Revenues at the Cable Network Programming segment increased 8% for the nine months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the corresponding period of fiscal 2021, due to higher affiliate fee, advertising and other revenues. The increase in affiliate fee revenue was primarily due to contractual rate increases on existing affiliate agreements and from affiliate agreement renewals, partially offset by a lower average number of subscribers. Also impacting the increase was the absence of prior year affiliate fee credits as a result of the COVID-19 related under-delivery of college football games. The decrease in the average number of subscribers was due to a reduction in traditional MVPD subscribers, partially offset by an increase in digital MVPD subscribers. The increase in advertising revenue was primarily due to the impact of a higher number of live events at the national sports ~~events compared to~~networks, primarily the ~~prior year quarter, including~~result of additional MLB postseason games and the return toof a full college football schedule that was shortened due to COVID-19 in the prior year ~~quarter~~period. Also contributing to this increase was higher MLB and ~~increased digital advertising revenue at~~ FOX News Media pricing, partially offset by lower political advertising revenue ~~at FOX News Media~~ due to the absence of the prior year presidential ~~and congressional elections in the current year quarter.~~elections. The increase in other revenues was primarily due to higher sports sublicensing revenues, ~~and revenues generated from PBC pay-per-view events that~~which were ~~canceled~~impacted by COVID-19 in the prior year, ~~quarter because of COVID-19,~~ and higher FOX Nation subscription revenues, partially offset by the impact of the divestiture of the Company's sports marketing businesses.

Operating expenses increased ~~for the three months ended September 30, 2021~~due to higher sports programming rights amortization and production costs primarily ~~due~~related to the return of a full college football ~~schedule, as the 2020~~and basketball season was impacted by COVID-19, partially offset by the absence of events that were shifted into the prior year quarter, including National Association of Stock Car Auto Racing (“NASCAR”) Cup Series races and additional Major League Baseball ("MLB") regular season games, as a result of the impact of COVID-19 ~~rescheduling. Selling, general~~in the prior year period and ~~administrative expenses increased for three months ended September 30, 2021 principally due to~~ higher investment in digital growth initiatives at FOX News Media. This increase was partially offset by the absence of events in the current year period that were shifted into the prior year period as a result of COVID-19 rescheduling, including NASCAR Cup Series races and additional MLB regular season games, and the impact of the divestiture of the Company's sports marketing businesses.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021

Revenues at the Television segment increased ~~17%~~7% for thethree months ended ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, as compared to the corresponding period of fiscal 2021, due to higher advertising, affiliate fee and other revenues. The increase in advertising revenue was primarily attributable to growth at Tubi, one additional week of NFL regular season games as a result of the NFL schedule expansion, and higher sports ratings and pricing at the FOX Network, partially offset by the absence of the rotating NFL Divisional playoff game in the current year quarter and lower entertainment ratings at the FOX Network. The increase in affiliate fee revenue was primarily due to higher fees received from television stations that are affiliated with the FOX Network, and higher average

rates per subscriber partially offset by a lower average number of subscribers at the Company’s owned and operated television stations. The increase in other revenues was primarily due to the current year quarter impact of acquisitions of entertainment production companies.

Television Segment EBITDA decreased 74% for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the corresponding period of fiscal 2021, as the revenue increases noted above were more than offset by higher expenses. Operating expenses increased primarily due to increased digital investment at Tubi, higher sports programming rights amortization and production costs primarily related to NFL content, and higher entertainment programming rights amortization principally due to the recognition of an approximately $30 million write-down of unamortized production costs related to a television series as a result of COVID-19 related costs and production delays. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased primarily due to the current year impact of acquisitions of entertainment production companies and higher technology costs related to the Company's digital initiatives.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021

Revenues at the Television segment increased 10% for the nine months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the corresponding period of fiscal 2021, due to higher advertising, affiliate fee and other revenues. The increase in advertising revenue was primarily attributable to higher sports ratings and pricing as well as the return of a full schedule of college football ~~and the MLB All-Star Game and more original scripted programming at FOX Entertainment due to the impact of COVID-19~~ in the ~~prior~~current year ~~quarter. Partially offsetting~~period at the ~~increase in advertising revenue was~~FOX Network and growth at Tubi, partially offset by lower political advertising revenue at the FOX Television Stations due to the absence of the prior year presidential and congressional elections. The increase in affiliate fee revenue was primarily due to higher fees received from television stations that are affiliated with the FOX Network, and higher average rates per subscriber partially offset by a lower average number of subscribers at the Company’s owned and operated television stations. The increase in other revenues was primarily due to the current year period impact of acquisitions of entertainment production companies and higher content revenues at FOX Entertainment.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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, Impairment and restructuring charges, Interest expense, net, Other, net and Income tax expense.

Management believes that information about Adjusted EBITDA assists all users of the Company’s 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 and the impact of COVID-19 and other widespread health emergencies or pandemics and measures to contain their spread).

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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“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.

The following table reconciles Net income to Adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, as compared to the three and nine months ended ~~September 30, 2020:~~March 31, 2021:

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Current Financial Condition

The Company has approximately ~~$5.4~~$4.6 billion of cash and cash equivalents as of ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and an unused five-year $1.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility (See Note 5—Borrowings to the accompanying Financial Statements). The Company also has access to the worldwide capital markets, subject to market conditions. As of ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all of the covenants under the revolving credit facility, and it does not anticipate any noncompliance with such covenants.

The principal uses of cash that affect the Company’s liquidity position include the following: the acquisition of rights and related payments for entertainment and sports programming; operational expenditures including production costs; marketing and promotional expenses; expenses related to broadcasting the Company’s programming; employee and facility costs; capital expenditures; acquisitions; interest and dividend payments; debt repayments; and stock repurchases.

In addition to the acquisitions, sales and possible acquisitions disclosed elsewhere, the Company has evaluated, and expects to continue to evaluate, possible acquisitions and dispositions of certain businesses and assets. Such transactions may be material and may involve cash, the Company’s securities or the assumption of additional indebtedness.

The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities during the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, as compared to the corresponding period of fiscal 2021, was primarily due to ~~lower Segment EBITDA, as well as~~ higher sports and entertainment programming payments, investments in our AVOD and other digital platforms, as ~~a result of the prior year impact of COVID-19.~~well as lower Adjusted EBITDA and higher tax payments.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There have been no material changes in the market risks reported in the 2021 Form 10-K.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a)Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act and were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b)Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the first quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company implemented new general ledger and procure-to-pay systems. This company-wide implementation involved migrating multiple legacy systems, some of which were subject to a Twenty-First Century Fox, Inc. transition services agreement, to a common platform. In connection with this implementation, the Company has implemented updates and changes to its processes and related control activities.

~~Other than as stated in the previous paragraph, there~~There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the Company’s ~~first~~third quarter of fiscal 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, most of the Company’s employees continue to work remotely, and the Company has strived to minimize the impact of this on the design and effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The Company is continually monitoring and assessing its internal control over financial reporting and has not experienced any material impact to its internal control over financial reporting due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

PART II

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

See Note 8—Commitments and Contingencies to the accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of FOX under the heading “Contingencies” for a discussion of the Company’s legal proceedings.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes to the risk factors described in the section titled “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 10, 2021, ~~except as set forth below:~~

~~Technological developments may increase the threat of content piracy~~ and ~~signal theft and limit~~ the Company’s ~~ability to protect its intellectual property rights.~~

~~Content piracy~~Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2021, as filed with the Securities and signal theft present a threat to the Company’s revenues from products and services, including television shows, cable and other programming. The Company seeks to limit the threat of content piracy as well as cable and direct broadcast satellite programming signal theft; however, policing unauthorized use of the Company’s products and services and related intellectual property is often difficult and the steps taken by the Company may not in every case prevent infringement. Although no content theft has been material to the Company’s businesses to date, we expect to continue to be subject to content threats and there can be no assurance that we will not experience a material incident. Developments in technology, including digital copying, file compression technology, growing penetration of high-bandwidth Internet connections, increased availability and speed of mobile data networks, and new devices and applications that enable unauthorized access to content, increase the threat of content piracy by making it easier to access, duplicate, widely distribute and store high-quality pirated material. In addition, developments in software or devices that circumvent encryption technology and the falling prices of devices incorporating such technologies increase the threat of unauthorized use and distribution of direct broadcast satellite programming signals and the proliferation of user-generated content sites and live and stored video streaming sites, which deliver unauthorized copies of copyrighted content, including those emanating from other countries in various languages, may adversely impact the Company’s businesses. The proliferation of unauthorized distribution and use of the Company’s content could have an adverse effectExchange Commission on ~~the Company’s businesses and profitability because it reduces the revenue that the Company could potentially receive from the legitimate sale and distribution of its products and services.~~

The Company takes a variety of actions to combat piracy and signal theft, both individually and, in some instances, together with industry associations, but the protection of the Company’s intellectual property rights depends on the scope and duration of the Company’s rights as defined by applicable laws in the U.S. and abroad and how those laws are construed. If those laws are interpreted in ways that limit the extent or duration of the Company’s rights or if existing laws are changed, the Company’s ability to generate revenue from intellectual property may decrease or the cost of obtaining and enforcing our rights may increase. A change in the laws of one jurisdiction may also have an impact on the Company’s overall ability to protect its intellectual property rights across other jurisdictions. The Company’s efforts to enforce its rights and protect its products, services and intellectual property may not be successful in preventing content piracy or signal theft. Further, while piracy and the proliferation of piracy-enabling technology tools continue to escalate, if any laws intended to combat piracy and protect intellectual property are repealed, weakened or not adequately enforced, or if the applicable legal systems fail to evolve and adapt to new technologies that facilitate piracy, we may be unable to effectively protect our rights and the value of our intellectual property may be negatively impacted, and our costs of enforcing our rights could increase.
