Net income —Net income decreased $350 million or 50% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the corresponding period of fiscal 2024, primarily due to a change in fair value of the Company’s investments in equity securities and the absence of a gain on a contribution of assets, partially offset by lower provision for income tax.

Segment Analysis

The Company’s operating segments have been determined in accordance with the Company’s internal management structure, which is organized based on operating activities.

Segment EBITDA does not include: Amortization of cable distribution investments, Depreciation and amortization, Restructuring, impairment and other corporate matters, Interest expense, net, Non-operating other, net and Income tax expense. Management believes that Segment EBITDA is an appropriate measure for evaluating the operating performance of the Company’s operating segments because it is the primary measure used by the Company
