21ST CENTURY FOX REPORTS FIRST QUARTER INCOME FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS PER SHARE OF $0.34 AND FIRST QUARTER TOTAL SEGMENT OPERATING INCOME BEFORE DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION OF $1.54 BILLION ON TOTAL REVENUE OF $6.08 BILLION

NEW YORK, NY, November 4, 2015 – Twenty-First Century Fox, Inc. (“21st Century Fox” or the “Company” — NASDAQ: FOXA, FOX) today reported financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2015.

The Company reported total quarterly revenues of $6.08 billion, a decrease of $406 million, or 6%, from the $6.48 billion of adjusted revenues ⁽¹⁾ reported in the prior year. This decline in adjusted revenues was primarily the result of a 7% revenue increase at the Cable Network Programming segment due to higher affiliate and advertising revenues being more than offset by lower revenues generated at the Filmed Entertainment segment due to lower theatrical revenues and the absence of revenues from Shine in the current quarter. The adverse impact of foreign exchange rates and the absence of revenues from Shine in the current quarter each impacted adjusted revenue growth by approximately $200 million, or 6% in total.

Quarterly total segment operating income before depreciation and amortization (“OIBDA”)⁽²⁾ of $1.54 billion decreased $37 million, or 2%, from the $1.57 billion of adjusted OIBDA⁽³⁾ reported in the prior year. This decline in adjusted OIBDA reflects double-digit growth at both the Company’s Cable Network Programming and Television segments which was more than offset by reduced contributions from the Filmed Entertainment segment. The adverse impact of foreign exchange rates impacted adjusted OIBDA growth by $109 million, or 7%.

The Company reported quarterly income from continuing operations attributable to stockholders of $678 million ($0.34 per share), compared with $1.04 billion ($0.48 per share) in the prior year. Excluding the net income effects of Other, net and gains and other adjustments related to Sky and Endemol Shine Group included in Equity earnings from affiliates, adjusted quarterly earnings per share⁽⁴⁾ from continuing operations attributable to stockholders was $0.38 compared with the adjusted year-ago result of $0.39.

Commenting on the results, Executive Chairman Rupert Murdoch said:

“Our cable networks business generated strong growth in the first fiscal quarter, delivering double-digit earnings gains both domestically and internationally on sustained increases in overall affiliate fees, higher advertising revenues and lower expenses. Our quarterly results also reflect the expected impact of challenging comparisons for our film studio due to the timing of key releases, as well as the poor performance of The Fantastic Four. We are pleased with the recent success of The Martian, and as we look forward, we have an exciting film slate which includes this weekend’s The Peanuts Movie, the holiday release of Joy, as well as the summer releases of the newest X-Men and Independence Day. Good progress is being made at the FOX

⁽¹⁾  Prior year adjusted revenues of $6.48 billion exclude $1.4 billion of revenues related to the Direct Broadcast Satellite (“DBS”) businesses which were sold to Sky plc (“Sky”) in November 2014.

⁽²⁾  Total segment operating income before depreciation and amortization (“OIBDA”) is a non-GAAP financial measure. See page 11 for a description of total segment OIBDA and for a reconciliation from revenues to total segment OIBDA and from total segment OIBDA to income from continuing operations before income tax expense.

⁽³⁾  Prior year adjusted OIBDA of $1.57 billion excludes $207 million of OIBDA related to the DBS businesses.

⁽⁴⁾  See page 13 for a reconciliation of reported income and earnings per share from continuing operations attributable to stockholders to adjusted income and adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations attributable to stockholders.

CABLE NETWORK PROGRAMMING

Cable Network Programming quarterly segment OIBDA increased 26% to $1.31 billion, driven by a 7% revenue increase on strong affiliate revenue growth and higher advertising revenues combined with lower expenses. The 2% decline in expenses was primarily due to the absence of the prior year broadcast of the India vs. England cricket series at STAR Sports. Foreign exchange fluctuations, primarily in Latin America and Europe, adversely impacted segment OIBDA growth by 5%.

Domestic affiliate revenue increased 11% reflecting strong growth at FS1 and sustained growth across all of the other domestic cable networks. Domestic advertising revenue grew 4% over the prior year period reflecting solid growth at the sports channels and Fox News. Domestic OIBDA contributions increased 19% over the prior year led by higher contributions from FS1, FX Networks and Fox News.

International affiliate revenue decreased 1% as 11% local currency growth at STAR and the Fox International Channels (“FIC”) was more than offset by a 12% adverse impact from the strengthened U.S. dollar. International advertising revenue decreased 1% as continued local currency growth at FIC and the STAR entertainment channels was offset by an 11% adverse impact from the strengthened U.S. dollar as well as the absence of advertising revenues from the prior year broadcast of the India vs. England cricket series at STAR Sports. Quarterly OIBDA at the international cable channels increased 53% reflecting strong local currency growth partially offset by the adverse impact of the strengthened U.S. dollar.

TELEVISION

Television generated quarterly segment OIBDA of $196 million, a $22 million or 13% increase over the $174 million reported in the prior year quarter. The increase in segment OIBDA was driven by lower operating costs led by lower programming expenses at the FOX Broadcast Network and TV stations partially offset by higher marketing costs at the FOX Broadcast Network. Quarterly segment revenues were consistent with those from the corresponding period in the prior year as strong retransmission consent revenue growth was counterbalanced by a 5% decline in advertising revenues primarily reflecting the expected impact of one less week of National Football League broadcasts in the current quarter as compared to the prior year quarter and lower political revenues at the TV stations, as well as lower general entertainment ratings at the FOX Broadcast Network.

FILMED ENTERTAINMENT

Filmed Entertainment generated quarterly segment OIBDA of $149 million, a $309 million decrease from the $458 million reported in the same period a year-ago. Quarterly segment revenues decreased $691 million to $1.79 billion, primarily reflecting lower worldwide theatrical revenues, the absence of revenue contributions from Shine, lower syndication revenues reflecting the sale of How I Met Your Mother in the prior year and the adverse impact of the strengthened U.S. dollar. The OIBDA decline over the prior year reflects lower contributions from the film studio attributable to the difficult comparisons to last year’s successful worldwide theatrical performance of Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and the home entertainment performance of Rio 2 with this year’s worldwide theatrical release of The Fantastic Four in August as well as higher theatrical pre-release costs in the current year primarily related to the successful worldwide theatrical release of The Martian in early October, which has grossed over $430 million in worldwide box office to date. Segment OIBDA comparisons were also adversely impacted by lower contributions from the television production businesses and a negative comparative 11% impact from foreign exchange rate fluctuations.

REVIEW OF EQUITY EARNINGS OF AFFILIATES’ RESULTS

The Company’s share of equity earnings of affiliates is as follows:

		Three Months Ended September 30,
	% Owned	2015			2014
		US $ Millions
Sky	39%(1)	$	110		$	396
Other equity affiliates	Various(2)		(75	)		(17	)
Total equity earnings of affiliates		$	35		$	379

⁽¹⁾  Please refer to Sky’s earnings releases for detailed information.

⁽²⁾  Primarily comprised of Endemol Shine Group (current quarter only), Hulu and STAR equity affiliates

Quarterly equity earnings of affiliates were $35 million as compared to $379 million in the same period a year-ago. This $344 million decrease primarily reflects lower contributions from Sky, principally due to a prior year gain on the sale of its shares in ITV, the inclusion of Endemol Shine Group losses this year and higher losses from Hulu.

OTHER ITEMS

Share repurchases

On August 4, 2015, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of an additional $5 billion of Class A Common Stock, excluding commissions. The Company intends to repurchase such shares over the next twelve months. The remaining authorized amount under the Company’s stock repurchase program as of September 30, 2015, excluding commissions, was approximately $3.7 billion.

During the quarter, the Company repurchased 66 million shares of Class A Common Stock for $2.0 billion. As a result of the stock repurchase program, diluted weighted average common stock outstanding of 2.01 billion in this year’s quarter declined 8% from 2.20 billion in the same period a year ago.

NOTE 1 – TOTAL SEGMENT OPERATING INCOME BEFORE DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION

The Company evaluates the performance of its operating segments based on segment operating income before depreciation and amortization (“OIBDA”), and management uses total segment OIBDA as a measure of the performance of operating businesses separate from non-operating factors. Total segment OIBDA is a non-GAAP 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 GAAP. In addition, this measure does not reflect cash available to fund requirements. This measure excludes items, such as depreciation and amortization as well as impairment charges, which are significant components in assessing the Company’s financial performance.

Management believes that total segment OIBDA is an appropriate measure for evaluating the operating performance of the Company’s business and provides investors and equity analysts a measure to analyze operating performance of the Company’s business and enterprise value against historical data and competitors’ data. Segment OIBDA is the primary measure used by our chief operating decision maker to evaluate the performance of and allocate resources to the Company’s business segments.

Segment OIBDA does not include depreciation and amortization and the amortization of cable distribution investments and eliminates the variable effect across all business segments of depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense includes the depreciation of property and equipment, as well as amortization of finite-lived intangible assets. Amortization of cable distribution investments represents a reduction against revenues over the term of a carriage arrangement and, as such, it is excluded from segment operating income before depreciation and amortization.

In addition, total segment OIBDA does not include: Discontinued operations, Equity earnings of affiliates, Interest expense, net, Interest income, Other, net, Income tax expense and Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests.

The following table reconciles revenues to total segment OIBDA and from total segment OIBDA to Income from continuing operations before income tax expense:

NOTE 2 – ADJUSTED NET INCOME AND ADJUSTED EPS FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS

The calculation of income and earnings per share (“EPS”) from continuing operations attributable to stockholders excluding Equity affiliate adjustments and Other, net, net of tax (“adjusted income and diluted EPS from continuing operations attributable to stockholders”) may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies, since companies and investors may differ as to what type of events warrant adjustment. Adjusted income and diluted EPS from continuing operations attributable to stockholders are not measures of performance under generally accepted accounting principles and should not be construed as substitutes for consolidated net income and EPS as determined under GAAP as a measure of performance. However, management uses these measures in comparing the Company’s historical performance and believes that they provide meaningful and comparable information to investors to assist in their analysis of our performance relative to prior periods and our competitors.

The Company uses adjusted income and diluted EPS from continuing operations attributable to stockholders to evaluate the performance of the Company’s operations exclusive of certain items that impact the comparability of results from period to period.

The following table reconciles reported income and reported diluted EPS from continuing operations attributable to stockholders to adjusted income and diluted EPS from continuing operations attributable to stockholders for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.

Equity earnings of affiliates for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was adjusted to remove from Sky’s results 21st Century Fox’s share of Sky’s gain on the sale of its ownership stake in ITV, partially offset by professional fees incurred by Sky related to its acquisition of the DBS businesses from the Company.
