**The New York Times Company Reports Second-Quarter 2025 Results** 

NEW YORK, August 6, 2025 – The New York Times Company (NYSE: NYT) announced today second-quarter 2025 results.

**Key Highlights**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**•** The Company added approximately 230,000 net digital-only subscribers compared with the end of the first quarter of 2025, bringing the total number of subscribers to 11.88 million.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**•** Total digital-only average revenue per user ("ARPU") increased 3.2 percent year-over-year to $9.64 largely driven by subscribers transitioning from promotional to higher prices and price increases on certain tenured subscribers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**•** Growth in both digital subscribers and ARPU drove a year-over-year increase in digital subscription revenues of 15.1 percent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**•** Digital advertising revenues increased 18.7 percent year-over-year primarily due to new advertising supply in areas of strong marketer demand.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**•** Affiliate, licensing and other revenues increased 5.8 percent year-over-year as a result of higher licensing revenues and Wirecutter affiliate referral revenues.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**•** Operating costs increased 6.2 percent and adjusted operating costs (defined below) increased 6.1 percent year-over-year, largely as a result of higher cost of revenue, sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**•** Operating profit increased 34.2 percent year-over-year to $106.6 million, while adjusted operating profit (defined below) increased 27.8 percent year-over-year to $133.8 million.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**•** Operating profit margin for the quarter was 15.5 percent and adjusted operating profit margin (defined below) was 19.5 percent, a year-over-year increase of approximately 280 basis points for each metric.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**•** Diluted earnings per share for the quarter was $.50, a $.10 increase year-over-year and adjusted diluted earnings per share (defined below) was $.58, a $.13 increase year-over-year.

Meredith Kopit Levien, president and chief executive officer, The New York Times Company, said, "We had a great second quarter across the board, and our strategy continues to work as designed. We grew all of our major revenue lines and we're generating significant free cash flow. That, combined with a strong balance sheet, means we can keep investing in the unparalleled journalism and best-in-class product portfolio that we see as our enduring advantage. All of which makes us confident that continued execution against our strategy will deliver even more value to even more people, and result in a larger and more profitable business."

<sup>(1)</sup> *Subscribers (including net subscriber additions) are rounded to the nearest ten thousand.*

<sup>(2)</sup> *Non-GAAP financial measure. See "Comparisons", "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for more details.*

------

**Comparisons**

*Unless otherwise noted, all comparisons are for the second quarter of 2025 to the second quarter of 2024.*

As of the first quarter of 2025, we updated our discussion of digital advertising revenue and no longer distinguish between "core" and "other" digital advertising. Digital advertising consists of display (which includes website and mobile applications), audio, email and video advertising revenue from advertisements that are sold either directly to marketers by our advertising sales teams or, currently for a smaller proportion, through programmatic auctions run by third-party ad exchanges. Digital advertising revenue also includes creative services fees.

Second quarter 2025 results included the following special items:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $3.5 million of pre-tax litigation-related costs ($2.6 million or $0.02 per share after tax) in connection with a lawsuit against Microsoft Corporation and Open AI Inc. and various of its corporate affiliates alleging unlawful and unauthorized copying and use of the Company's journalism and other content in connection with their development of generative artificial intelligence products ("Generative AI Litigation Costs"). Management determined to report Generative AI Litigation Costs as a special item beginning in the first quarter of 2024 because, unlike other litigation expenses, the Generative AI Litigation Costs arise from a discrete, complex and unusual proceeding and do not, in management's view, reflect the Company's ongoing business operational performance.

Second quarter 2024 results included the following special item:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $2.0 million of Generative AI Litigation Costs ($1.5 million or $0.01 per share after tax).

This release refers to certain non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted operating profit, adjusted operating costs, adjusted diluted EPS and free cash flow. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for more details, including a discussion of management's reasons for the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP financial measures.

**<u>Consolidated Results</u>**

**Subscribers and Net Additions**

The Company ended the second quarter of 2025 with approximately 11.88 million subscribers to its print and digital products, including approximately 11.30 million digital-only subscribers. Of the 11.30 million digital-only subscribers, approximately 6.02 million were bundle and multiproduct subscribers.

Compared with the end of the first quarter of 2025, there was a net increase of 230,000 digital-only subscribers. Compared with the end of the second quarter of 2024, there was a net increase of 1,080,000 digital-only subscribers.

**Average Revenue Per User**

Average revenue per user or "ARPU," a metric we calculate to track the revenue generation of our digital subscriber base, represents the average revenue per digital subscriber over a 28-day billing cycle during the applicable quarter. For more information, please refer to the Supplemental Subscriber, ARPU and Subscriptions Revenues Information in the exhibits.

Total digital-only ARPU was $9.64 for the second quarter of 2025, an increase of 3.2 percent compared with the second quarter of 2024 driven primarily by subscribers transitioning from promotional to higher prices and price increases on certain tenured subscribers.

**Subscription Revenues**

Total subscription revenues increased 9.6 percent to $481.4 million in the second quarter of 2025. Subscription revenues from digital-only products increased 15.1 percent to $350.4 million due to an increase in bundle and multiproduct revenues and an increase in other single-product subscription revenues, partially offset by a decrease in news-only subscription revenues. Print subscription revenues decreased 2.8 percent to $131.1 million, primarily due to lower domestic home-delivery revenues.

**Advertising Revenues**

Total advertising revenues increased 12.4 percent to $134.0 million in the second quarter of 2025. Digital advertising revenues increased 18.7 percent to $94.4 million due mainly to new advertising supply in areas of strong marketer demand. Print advertising revenues decreased 0.1 percent to $39.6 million.

**Affiliate, Licensing and Other Revenues**

Affiliate, licensing and other revenues increased 5.8 percent to $70.5 million in the second quarter of 2025, primarily as a result of higher licensing revenues and Wirecutter affiliate referral revenues.

**Total Revenues**

In the aggregate, subscription; advertising; and affiliate, licensing and other revenues for the second quarter of 2025 increased 9.7 percent to $685.9 million from $625.1 million in the second quarter of 2024.

------

**Operating Costs**

Total operating costs increased 6.2 percent in the second quarter of 2025 to $579.3 million compared with $545.7 million in the second quarter of 2024. Operating costs in the second quarters of 2025 and 2024 included Generative AI Litigation Costs of $3.5 million and $2.0 million, respectively. Adjusted operating costs increased 6.1 percent to $552.1 million from $520.4 million in the second quarter of 2024.

Cost of revenue increased 5.0 percent to $338.8 million compared with $322.8 million in the second quarter of 2024 due mainly to higher journalism costs, higher subscriber servicing costs and higher digital content delivery costs.

Sales and marketing costs increased 12.8 percent to $69.2 million compared with $61.3 million in the second quarter of 2024 due mainly to higher marketing and promotion costs. Media expenses, a component of sales and marketing costs that primarily represents the cost to promote our subscription business, increased 15.9 percent to $31.9 million in the second quarter of 2025 from $27.5 million in the second quarter of 2024.

Product development costs increased 2.8 percent to $63.9 million compared with $62.2 million in the second quarter of 2024, primarily due to higher expenses from outside services.

General and administrative costs increased 7.4 percent to $82.6 million compared with $76.9 million in the second quarter of 2024, largely due to higher expenses from professional services, unrealized losses from foreign currency cash flow hedges and an asset impairment charge.

**<u>Business Segment Results</u>**

We have two reportable segments: NYTG and The Athletic. In the third quarter of 2025, the Company expects to update its internal reporting to reflect how the Chief Operating Decision Maker intends to manage the business going forward, and as a result, the Company expects to have one reportable segment. Management uses adjusted operating profit (loss) by segment in assessing performance and allocating resources. The Company includes in its presentation revenues and adjusted operating costs to arrive at adjusted operating profit (loss) by segment. Adjusted operating costs are defined as operating costs before depreciation and amortization, severance, multiemployer pension plan withdrawal costs and special items. Adjusted operating profit is defined as operating profit before depreciation and amortization, severance, multiemployer pension plan withdrawal costs and special items. Refer to Segment Information in the exhibits for more information on these segment measures.

**The New York Times Group**

NYTG revenues increased 8.1 percent in the second quarter of 2025 to $632.4 million from $585.2 million in the second quarter of 2024. Subscription revenues increased 9.0 percent to $446.8 million from $410.0 million in the second quarter of 2024, primarily due to growth in subscription revenues from digital-only products, partially offset by decreases in print subscription revenues. Advertising revenues increased 7.0 percent to $119.9 million from $112.1 million in the second quarter of 2024, due to higher revenues from digital advertising. Affiliate, licensing and other revenues increased 4.2 percent to $65.7 million from $63.1 million in the second quarter of 2024, due to higher licensing revenues and Wirecutter affiliate referral revenues.

NYTG adjusted operating costs increased 5.5 percent in the second quarter of 2025 to $504.4 million from $478.1 million in the second quarter of 2024, primarily due to higher sales and marketing, general and administrative, journalism and subscriber servicing costs.

NYTG adjusted operating profit increased 19.5 percent to $128.0 million from $107.1 million in the second quarter of 2024. This was primarily the result of higher digital subscription revenues; digital advertising revenues; and affiliate, licensing and other revenues, partially offset by higher adjusted operating costs and lower print subscription revenues.

**The Athletic**

The Athletic revenues increased 33.4 percent in the second quarter of 2025 to $54.0 million from $40.5 million in the second quarter of 2024. Subscription revenues increased 18.1 percent to $34.6 million from $29.3 million in the second quarter of 2024, primarily due to growth in the number of subscribers with access to The Athletic (including through bundle subscriptions). Advertising revenues increased 98.8 percent to $14.1 million from $7.1 million in the second quarter of 2024, primarily due to higher revenues from display advertising. Affiliate, licensing and other revenues increased 30.1 percent to $5.4 million from $4.1 million in the second quarter of 2024, primarily due to an increase in licensing revenues.

The Athletic adjusted operating costs increased 12.5 percent in the second quarter of 2025 to $48.3 million from $42.9 million in the second quarter of 2024. The increase was mainly due to higher journalism and product development costs.

The Athletic adjusted operating profit increased $8.2 million to $5.8 million from a loss of $2.4 million in the second quarter of 2024. This was primarily the result of higher advertising revenues; subscription revenues; and affiliate, licensing and other revenues, partially offset by higher adjusted operating costs.

------

**<u>Consolidated Other Data</u>**

**Interest Income and Other, net**

Interest income and other, net in the second quarter of 2025 was $9.8 million compared with $8.7 million in the second quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily a result of higher cash and marketable securities balances and higher interest rates.

**Income Taxes**

The Company had income tax expense of $28.7 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared with $21.5 million in the second quarter of 2024. The effective income tax rate was 25.7 percent in the second quarter of 2025 and 24.7 percent in the second quarter of 2024. The increase in income tax expense in the second quarter of 2025 was primarily due to higher pre-tax income. The increase in the effective income tax rate compared to the second quarter of 2024 was primarily attributable to a decrease in federal tax credits in 2025.

**Earnings Per Share**

Diluted EPS in the second quarter of 2025 was $.50 compared with $.40 in the same period of 2024. The increase in diluted EPS was primarily driven by higher operating profit and higher interest income. Adjusted diluted EPS was $.58 in the second quarter of 2025 compared with $.45 in the second quarter of 2024.

**Liquidity**

As of June 30, 2025, the Company had cash and marketable securities of $951.5 million, an increase of $39.7 million from $911.9 million as of December 31, 2024.

As of June 30, 2025, there were no outstanding borrowings under this credit facility, and the Company did not have other outstanding debt.

**Non-GAAP Financial Measures**

This release refers to certain non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted operating profit, defined as operating profit before depreciation, amortization, severance, multiemployer pension plan withdrawal costs and special items; adjusted operating profit margin, defined as adjusted operating profit divided by revenues; adjusted operating costs, defined as operating costs before depreciation, amortization, severance and multiemployer pension plan withdrawal costs and special items; adjusted diluted EPS, defined as diluted EPS excluding amortization of acquired intangible assets, severance, non-operating retirement costs and special items; and free cash flow, defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. Refer to "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" in the exhibits for a discussion of management's reasons for the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP financial measures. Certain guidance is provided on a non-GAAP basis and not reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP measure because we are unable to provide, without unreasonable effort, a calculation or estimation of amounts necessary for such reconciliation due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting such amounts.

*ARPU metrics are calculated by dividing the digital subscription revenues in the quarter by the average number of digital-only subscribers divided by the number of days in the quarter multiplied by 28 to reflect a 28-day billing cycle. In calculating ARPU metrics, for our subscriber categories (Bundle and multiproduct, News-only and Other single-product), we use the monthly average number of digital-only subscribers (calculated as the sum of the number of subscribers in each category at the beginning and end of the month, divided by two) and for Total digital-only ARPU, we use the daily average number of digital-only subscribers.*

We have two reportable segments: NYTG and The Athletic. Management uses adjusted operating profit (loss) by segment in assessing performance and allocating resources. The Company includes in its presentation revenues and adjusted operating costs to arrive at adjusted operating profit (loss) by segment. Adjusted operating costs are defined as operating costs before depreciation and amortization, severance, multiemployer pension plan withdrawal costs and special items. Adjusted operating profit is defined as operating profit before depreciation and amortization, severance, multiemployer pension plan withdrawal costs and special items. Adjusted operating profit expressed as a percentage of revenues is referred to as adjusted operating profit margin.

Subscription revenues from and expenses associated with our bundle are allocated to NYTG and The Athletic.

We allocate 10% of all bundle subscription revenues to The Athletic based on management's view of The Athletic's relative value to the bundle, which we derived based on analysis of various metrics.

We allocate 10% of product development, marketing and subscriber servicing expenses (including direct variable expenses such as credit card fees, third party fees and sales taxes) associated with the bundle to The Athletic, and the remaining costs are allocated to NYTG, in each case, in line with the revenues allocations.

| &nbsp;&nbsp;**RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES** |

---

In this release, the Company has referred to non-GAAP financial information with respect to adjusted diluted EPS, defined as diluted EPS excluding amortization of acquired intangible assets, severance, non-operating retirement costs and special items; adjusted operating profit, defined as operating profit before depreciation, amortization, severance, multiemployer pension plan withdrawal costs and special items; adjusted operating profit margin, defined as adjusted operating profit divided by revenues; adjusted operating costs, defined as operating costs before depreciation, amortization, severance, multiemployer pension withdrawal costs and special items; and free cash flow, defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. The Company has included these non-GAAP financial measures because management reviews them on a regular basis and uses them to evaluate and manage the performance of the Company's operations. Management believes that, for the reasons outlined below, these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors as a supplement to reported diluted earnings/(loss) per share, operating profit/(loss) and operating costs. However, these measures should be evaluated only in conjunction with the comparable GAAP financial measures and should not be viewed as alternative or superior measures of GAAP results.

Adjusted diluted EPS provides useful information in evaluating the Company's period-to-period performance because it eliminates items that the Company does not consider to be indicative of earnings from ongoing operating activities. Adjusted operating profit and adjusted operating profit margin are useful in evaluating the ongoing performance of the Company's business as they exclude the significant non-cash impact of depreciation and amortization as well as items not indicative of ongoing operating activities. Total operating costs include depreciation, amortization, severance, multiemployer pension plan withdrawal costs and special items. Adjusted operating costs provide investors with helpful supplemental information on the Company's underlying operating costs that is used by management in its financial and operational decision-making.

Management considers special items, which may include impairment charges, pension settlement charges, acquisition-related costs, and beginning in the first quarter of 2024, Generative AI Litigation Costs, as well as other items that arise from time to time, to be outside the ordinary course of our operations. Management believes that excluding these items provides a better understanding of the underlying trends in the Company's operating performance and allows more accurate comparisons of the Company's operating results to historical performance. Management determined to report Generative AI Litigation Costs as a special item and thus exclude them beginning in the first quarter of 2024 because, unlike other litigation expenses which are not excluded, the Generative AI Litigation Costs arise from a discrete, complex and unusual proceeding and do not, in management's view, reflect the Company's ongoing business operational performance. In addition, management excludes severance costs, which may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter, because it believes these costs do not necessarily reflect expected future operating costs and do not contribute to a meaningful comparison of the Company's operating results to historical performance.

The Company considers free cash flow as providing useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash that is available to be used to strengthen the Company's balance sheet, for strategic opportunities, including investing in the Company's business and strategic acquisitions, and/or for the return of capital to stockholders in the form of dividends and stock repurchases.

Non-operating retirement costs include (i) interest cost, expected return on plan assets, amortization of actuarial gains and loss components and amortization of prior service credits of single-employer pension expense, (ii) interest cost, amortization of actuarial gains and loss components and (iii) all multiemployer pension plan withdrawal costs. These non-operating retirement costs are primarily tied to financial market performance including changes in market interest rates and investment performance. Management considers non-operating retirement costs to be outside the performance of the business and believes that presenting adjusted diluted EPS excluding non-operating retirement costs and presenting adjusted operating results excluding multiemployer pension plan withdrawal costs, in addition to the Company's GAAP diluted EPS and GAAP operating results, provide increased transparency and a better understanding of the underlying trends in the Company's operating business performance.

Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are set out in the tables below.
