News Corp’s revenues declined 4% in 2015, as compared to the year-ago period. The decline was a result of the continued fall in print revenues, as well as lower advertising revenues in its cable network programming segment. The digital real estate segment remained the growth engine for the company. On the other hand, News Corp managed to curtail its expenses, by reducing its workforce and incurring less on production costs. Consequently, its EBITDA margin was 12.7% in 2015.

Going forward, we expect these broad trends to stay in place. News Corp’s growth will likely be driven by its digital real estate segment, while the news and information service will suffer due to the secular shift away from print media. The company expects costs to fall further, resulting in a slight improvement in its EBITDA margin during the 2015-16 period.
