NEW YORK, NY – August 8, 2016 –

News Corporation (“News Corp” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: NWS, NWSA; ASX: NWS, NWSLV) today reported financial results for the three months and fiscal year ended June 30, 2016 (includes 14 and 53 weeks, respectively, compared to 13 and 52 weeks in the three months and fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, respectively).

Commenting on the results, Chief Executive Robert Thomson said:

“We ended Fiscal Year 2016 with strong results in the fourth quarter, highlighted by robust year-over-year growth in revenues and EBITDA at Digital Real Estate Services and an upturn at HarperCollins.

Over the past year, we made clear progress on our primary goals – to become more digital and more global. Since the advent of the new News three years ago, revenue at Digital Real Estate Services has more than doubled, and it is expected to become the biggest contributor to EBITDA in the future thanks to the ongoing success of REA and the rapid growth at Realtor.com^® in the U.S. Our reach in digital real estate is unparalleled and highlights the potential of the News Corp network, which is monetizing shared data and maximizing the value of content and traffic.

Book Publishing ended the year strongly, highlighting our ability to leverage quality content across both print and digital platforms.

While global print ad trends remain challenging at our News and Information Services segment, we are continuing our aggressive growth in digital, which now accounts for 23% of segment revenues, up from 19% last year.

The success of the Wall Street Journal is a testament to the importance of high quality content with global appeal. This past quarter the WSJ reached 948,000 digital-only subscribers, posting healthy year-over-year gains with improved pricing to better reflect its unique value. At News UK, The Times and The Sunday Times continue to impress with nearly 182,500 digital-only subscribers. Digital subscriptions continue to grow and now account for approximately 45% of the subscriber base, while print sales have also risen tangibly in recent months. This quarter we relaunched the Sun’s website, which had over 42 million global unique users in June, a distinctive increase since the lifting of the paywall last year. The U.K. team is focused on leveraging our immensely valuable
