Earnings Call Summary

Q3 2026
Earnings Call Date:May 11, 2026|
% Change Since:
|
Earnings Call Sentiment|Positive
The call emphasized multiple strong operating and financial trends: record third-quarter adjusted EBITDA (+11%), robust free cash flow ($1.77B), aggressive share repurchases, strong audience and pricing gains at FOX News (CPMs +45%), meaningful growth and improving profitability at Tubi (revenue +23%, view time +19%, near-breakeven), early success of Fox One stabilizing distribution trends, and strong sports ratings and strategic NFL additions. The primary negatives were headline advertising declines and GAAP net income compression driven by the absence of the prior-year Super Bowl and higher sports rights amortization in the Cable segment. Overall, the positive operational momentum, cash generation, and capital returns outweigh the event-driven advertising and GAAP earnings headwinds.
Company Guidance
Management reiterated they're positioned to deliver record EBITDA for fiscal 2026 after reporting Q3 revenue of $4.0B and adjusted EBITDA of $954M (up 11%), and provided forward metrics including TV distribution revenue expected to be about flat for the full year before returning to growth in fiscal '27 (with just north of one‑third of distribution income up for renewal in FY27); company distribution revenue grew 3% (cable distribution +5%), headline advertising was down 24% due to Super Bowl (would have grown double‑digits ex‑Super Bowl), content & other +12%, Q3 free cash flow $1.77B, fiscal YTD buybacks $1.95B (>$8.5B cumulative, ~36% of shares repurchased since 2019), cash ~$3.6B and debt ~$6.6B; management expects net digital investments for the year to be comfortably inside $290M, noted Tubi momentum (revenue +23%, total view time +19%, nearly 100M MAUs and Q3 at or better than breakeven), Fox One adding subscribers and stabilizing sub erosion below ~6.5% (excluding Fox One), and said the FIFA World Cup’s financial impact will be roughly 50/50 between Q4 and Q1 and is expected to be broadcast‑revenue and EBITDA accretive (cable nets less so).
Record Quarterly EBITDA and Stable Revenue
Total company revenue of $4.0 billion and adjusted EBITDA of $954 million, an 11% year-over-year increase, marking a record third quarter for Fox.
Strong Free Cash Flow and Share Repurchases
Generated quarterly free cash flow of $1.77 billion; fiscal year-to-date repurchases of $1.95 billion and cumulative buybacks of over $8.5 billion (~36% of shares outstanding since 2019), including completion of a $1.5 billion accelerated share repurchase.
FOX News Outperformance
FOX News achieved its highest third quarter advertising revenue ever, finished the quarter as the most-watched cable network in total day and Prime, finished April with year-on-year audience growth, and national pricing (CPMs) up over 45% versus prior levels.
Tubi Growth and Improved Profitability
Tubi revenue grew 23% year-over-year with total view time up 19%; content scale expanded to >220 creators and ~17,000 episodes. Management noted Tubi was around breakeven for Q3 and three quarters in a row at breakeven or better.
Fox One Early Success and Distribution Contribution
Fox One early subscriber additions and retention outperformed expectations, contributed positively to distribution revenue and sub trends, and helped stabilize third-party distributor churn (sub declines stabilized below ~6.5%).
Sports Ratings Momentum and Strategic Rights Wins
Major sports highlights: World Baseball Classic ratings up >150% vs 2023; MLB opening weekend ratings up 45% YoY; IndyCar up 37%. Over 170 million viewers tuned into Fox regular season NFL games in 2025-26; acquired rights to 2 additional regular season NFL national games (week 10 overseas game and week 15 Saturday).
Television Segment EBITDA Improvement
Television segment revenue was $2.2 billion and segment EBITDA rose to $191 million (more than 3x the prior year quarter) largely due to lower sports rights amortization and production costs versus prior-year Super Bowl quarter.
Content & Sublicensing Strength
Content and other revenue rose 12% company-wide, with Cable content and other revenue up 24% driven by higher sports sublicensing.
Solid Balance Sheet
Ended the quarter with approximately $3.6 billion in cash against $6.6 billion in debt and management emphasized a robust balance sheet to support capital allocation.
