NEW YORK, February 4, 2026 – The New York Times Company (NYSE: NYT) announced today fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results.

**Key Highlights**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**•** The Company added approximately 450,000 net digital-only subscribers compared with the end of the third quarter of 2025, bringing the total number of subscribers to 12.78 million.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**•** Total digital-only average revenue per user ("ARPU") increased 0.7 percent year-over-year to $9.72 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 13.9 percent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**•** Digital advertising revenues increased 24.9 percent year-over-year primarily due to strong marketer demand and new advertising supply.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**•** Affiliate, licensing and other revenues increased 5.5 percent year-over-year as a result of higher licensing revenues.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**•** Operating costs increased 10.5 percent year-over-year and adjusted operating costs (defined below) increased 9.7 percent year-over-year, largely as a result of higher cost of revenue, general and administrative costs, sales and marketing and product development costs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**•** Operating profit increased 10.2 percent year-over-year to $161.6 million, while adjusted operating profit (defined below) increased 12.8 percent year-over-year to $192.3 million.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**•** Operating profit margin for the quarter was 20.1 percent, a year-over-year decrease of approximately 10 basis points and adjusted operating profit margin (defined below) was 24.0 percent, a year-over-year increase of approximately 50 basis points.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Company's Board of Directors declared a $0.23 dividend per share, an increase of $.05 from the previous quarter.

Meredith Kopit Levien, president and chief executive officer, The New York Times Company, said, "The fourth quarter capped another strong year for The Times, and our results demonstrated that our strategy continues to work as designed. Our world-class news coverage and premium lifestyle products proved more valuable to more people in 2025.

<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 fourth quarter of 2025 to the fourth quarter of 2024.*

Following the fourth quarter of 2025, we plan to make a change to our subscriber disclosures. We will continue to report total digital-only subscribers and total digital-only ARPU. However, we will discontinue reporting digital-only subscribers and ARPU by the categories of bundle and multiproduct, news-only, and other single product, as well as the percentages represented by group corporate, group education and family subscriptions. We believe total digital-only subscribers and total digital-only ARPU best align with how we manage the business for long-term growth.

Fourth quarter 2025 results included the following special items:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $3.0 million of pre-tax litigation-related costs ($2.2 million, or $0.01 per share, after tax) in connection with certain lawsuits alleging unlawful and unauthorized copying and use of the Company's journalism and other content in connection with the 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 discrete, complex and unusual proceedings and do not, in management's view, reflect the Company's ongoing business operational performance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• A $2.9 million impairment charge ($2.1 million, or $0.01 per share, after tax) related to excess leased office space that is being marketed for sublet (the "lease-related impairment").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• A $1.5 million favorable adjustment ($1.1 million, or $0.01 per share, after tax) related to reductions in our multiemployer pension plan liabilities.

Fourth quarter 2024 results included the following special items:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $3.2 million of Generative AI Litigation Costs ($2.4 million, or $0.01 per share, after tax).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• A $3.0 million favorable adjustment ($2.2 million, or $0.01 per share, after tax) related to reductions in our multiemployer pension plan liabilities.

This release refers to certain non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted operating profit, adjusted operating profit margin, 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 fourth quarter of 2025 with approximately 12.78 million subscribers to its print and digital products, including approximately 12.21 million digital-only subscribers. Of the 12.21 million digital-only subscribers, approximately 6.48 million were bundle and multiproduct subscribers.

Compared with the end of the third quarter of 2025, there was a net increase of approximately 450,000 digital-only subscribers. Compared with the end of the fourth quarter of 2024, there was a net increase of approximately 1,400,000 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 $9.72 for the fourth quarter of 2025, an increase of 0.7 percent compared with the fourth 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 9.4 percent to $510.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2025. Subscription revenues from digital-only products increased 13.9 percent to $381.5 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 2.0 percent to $129.0 million, primarily due to lower domestic home-delivery and single-copy revenues.

**Advertising Revenues**

Total advertising revenues increased 16.1 percent to $191.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2025. Digital advertising revenues increased 24.9 percent to $147.2 million, primarily due to strong marketer demand and new advertising supply. Print advertising revenues decreased 5.8 percent to $44.4 million.

**Affiliate, Licensing and Other Revenues**

Affiliate, licensing and other revenues increased 5.5 percent to $100.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, primarily as a result of higher licensing revenues.

**Total Revenues**

In the aggregate, subscription; advertising; and affiliate, licensing and other revenues for the fourth quarter of 2025 increased 10.4 percent to $802.3 million from $726.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2024.

------

**Operating Costs**

Total operating costs increased 10.5 percent in the fourth quarter of 2025 to $640.7 million compared with $580.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. Operating costs in the fourth quarter of 2025 included, as special items, Generative AI Litigation Costs of $3.0 million, a lease-related impairment charge of $2.9 million and a favorable adjustment related to reductions in multiemployer pension plan liabilities of $1.5 million. Operating costs in the fourth quarter of 2024 included, as special items, Generative AI Litigation Costs of $3.2 million and favorable adjustments related to reductions in multiemployer pension plan liabilities of $3.0 million. Adjusted operating costs increased 9.7 percent to $610.0 million from $556.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Cost of revenue increased 8.6 percent to $367.2 million compared with $338.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, primarily due to higher journalism costs, higher subscriber servicing costs and higher advertising servicing costs.

Sales and marketing costs increased 11.5 percent to $92.4 million compared with $82.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, primarily due to higher compensation and benefits expenses and 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 1.8 percent to $47.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 from $46.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, primarily as a result of higher brand marketing expenses.

Product development costs increased 8.3 percent to $66.9 million compared with $61.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, primarily due to higher compensation and benefits expenses, higher software licensing expenses and higher outside services expenses.

General and administrative costs increased 17.0 percent to $89.0 million compared with $76.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, primarily due to higher expenses from compensation and benefits and severance costs.

------

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

**Interest Income and Other, net**

Interest income and other, net in the fourth quarter of 2025 was $10.7 million compared with $10.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily a result of higher cash and marketable securities balances.

**Income Taxes**

The Company had income tax expense of $37.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared with $31.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The effective income tax rate was 22.5 percent in the fourth quarter of 2025 and 20.5 percent in the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase in income tax expense in the fourth quarter of 2025 was primarily due to higher pre-tax income. The effective income tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2025 was higher than the statutory tax rate primarily due to state and local income taxes, partially offset by federal tax credits for research and experimentation in the quarter.

**Earnings Per Share**

Diluted EPS in the fourth quarter of 2025 was $.79 compared with $.75 in the same period of 2024. The increase in diluted EPS was primarily driven by higher operating profit. Adjusted diluted EPS was $.89 in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared with $.80 in the fourth quarter of 2024.

**Liquidity**

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had cash and marketable securities of $1.2 billion, an increase of $256.0 million from $911.9 million as of December 31, 2024.

Net cash provided by operating activities in 2025 was $584.5 million compared with $410.5 million in the same period of 2024. Free cash flow in 2025 was $550.5 million compared with $381.3 million in the same period of 2024. Net cash provided by operating activities in 2025 was impacted by lower cash tax payments due to the impact of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the "OBBBA"), and also included net proceeds of approximately $33 million in connection with the lease and subsequent sale of approximately four acres of excess land at our printing and distribution facility in College Point, N.Y., which was finalized in February 2025.

**Shares Repurchases and Dividends**

During the quarter ended December 31, 2025, the Company repurchased 883,602 shares of its Class A Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $55.4 million. As of January 30, 2026, approximately $334.4 million remains available and authorized for repurchases.

**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, 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.

| **(Amounts in thousands)** |

We offer a digital subscription package (or "bundle") that includes access to our digital news product (which includes our news website, NYTimes.com, and mobile applications), as well as to The Athletic and to our Audio, Cooking, Games and Wirecutter products. Our subscriptions also include standalone digital subscriptions to each of these products.

The following tables present information regarding the number of subscribers to the Company's products as well as certain additional metrics. A subscriber is defined as a user who has subscribed (and for whom a valid method of payment has been provided) for the right to access one or more of the Company's products. Subscribers with a domestic home-delivery print subscription to The New York Times, which includes access to our digital products, are excluded from digital-only subscribers.

Following the fourth quarter of 2025, we plan to make a change to our subscriber disclosures. We will continue to report total digital-only subscribers and total digital-only ARPU. However, we will discontinue reporting digital-only subscribers and ARPU by the categories of bundle and multiproduct, news-only, and other single product, as well as the percentages represented by group corporate, group education and family subscriptions. We believe total digital-only subscribers and total digital-only ARPU best align with how we manage the business for long-term growth.

*Beginning in the second quarter of 2025, ARPU metrics are calculated by dividing the digital subscription revenues in the quarter by the average number of digital-only subscribers (calculated as the weighted average of each month's daily average subscribers) divided by the number of days in the quarter multiplied by 28 to reflect a 28-day billing cycle. This change had a de minimis impact on ARPU.*

| **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 plan 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 discrete, complex and unusual proceedings 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.
