Adjusted diluted EPS came in at $0.89, ahead of the $0.86 consensus estimate by 2.97%, while revenue of $802.31 million topped forecasts by 1.42% and grew 10.4% year-over-year. The primary engine behind the quarter was digital, where subscription revenues climbed 13.9% to $381.51 million and digital advertising surged 24.9% to $147.24 million on strong marketer demand, more than offsetting continued declines in print. The company added roughly 450,000 net digital-only subscribers in the period, bringing its total subscriber base to 12.78 million. Management expressed confidence in sustaining that momentum, guiding for digital-only subscription revenue growth of 14-17% in Q1 2026 and low-double-digit total advertising gains, with the board punctuating the optimism by raising the quarterly dividend by $0.05 to $0.23 per share.
Key Takeaways
- • Digital-only subscriber growth of approximately 1.4 million year-over-year to 12.21 million
- • Strong digital advertising demand with 24.9% YoY growth driven by marketer demand and new advertising supply
- • Subscribers transitioning from promotional to higher prices and price increases on tenured subscribers driving ARPU growth
- • Bundle and multiproduct subscribers reached 6.48 million of 12.21 million digital-only subscribers
- • Higher licensing revenues contributing to affiliate, licensing and other revenue growth
