THE NEW YORK TIMES COMPANY
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
In the opinion of management of The New York Times Company (the “Company”), the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements present fairly the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, and the results of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows of the Company for the periods ended September 30, 2025, and September 30, 2024. The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries are referred to collectively as “we,” “us” or “our.” All adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been included and are of a normal and recurring nature. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The financial statements were prepared in accordance with the requirements of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain notes or other financial information that are normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted from these interim financial statements. These financial statements, therefore, should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Due to the seasonal nature of our business, operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of a full year’s operations. The first nine months of 2025 contains one fewer day compared with the first nine months of 2024 as a result of 2024 being a leap year.
In the third quarter of 2025, the Company updated its internal reporting to reflect how the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, (who is the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”)) manages the business, and as a result, the Company has determined it has one reportable segment and one reporting unit. All required segment information can be found in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Prior periods presented have been recast to conform to the current presentation. See Note 5 and Note 13 for additional information.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
The Company changed the revenue caption on its Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations from Other to Affiliate, licensing and other effective for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
As of September 30, 2025, our significant accounting policies, which are detailed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, have not changed.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standard Updates | Topic | Effective Period | Summary
2023-09 | Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures | Fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2024.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
The Company considers the applicability and impact of all recently issued accounting pronouncements. Recent accounting pronouncements not specifically identified in our disclosures are either not applicable to the Company or are not expected to have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
NOTE 3. REVENUE
We generate revenues principally from subscriptions and advertising.
Subscription revenues consist of revenues from subscriptions to our digital and print products (which include our news product, as well as The Athletic and our Audio, Cooking, Games and Wirecutter products), and single-copy and bulk sales of our print products. Subscription revenues are based on both the number of digital-only subscriptions and copies of the printed newspaper sold, and the rates charged to the respective customers.
Advertising revenue is primarily derived from advertisers (such as luxury goods, technology and financial companies) promoting products, services or brands on digital platforms in the form of display, audio, email and video ads; in print in the form of column-inch ads; and at live events. Advertising revenue is primarily determined by the volume (e.g., impressions or column inches), rate and mix of advertisements. 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, for a smaller proportion, through programmatic auctions run by third-party ad exchanges. Digital advertising revenue also includes creative services fees. Print advertising includes revenue from column-inch ads and classified advertising, as well as preprinted advertising, also known as freestanding inserts.
Affiliate, licensing and other revenues include revenues from licensing, Wirecutter affiliate referrals, commercial printing, the leasing of floors in our New York headquarters building located at 620 Eighth Avenue, New York, New York (the “Company Headquarters”), our live events business and retail commerce.
Subscription; advertising; and affiliate, licensing and other revenues were as follows:

We assess our AFS securities for impairment on a quarterly basis or more often if a potential loss-triggering event occurs.
As of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, we did not intend to sell, and it was not likely that we would be required to sell, these investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity. Unrealized losses related to these investments are primarily due to interest rate fluctuations as opposed to changes in credit quality. Therefore, as of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, we have recognized no impairment losses or allowance for credit losses related to AFS securities.
As of September 30, 2025, our short-term and long-term marketable securities had remaining maturities of less than one month to 12 months and 13 months to 27 months, respectively. See Note 8 for additional information regarding the fair value of our marketable securities.

We had a severance liability of $5.4 million and $4.8 million included in Accrued expenses and other in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively.
Generative AI Litigation Costs
The Company recorded $2.4 million and $4.6 million of pre-tax litigation-related costs for the third quarters of 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $10.3 million and $7.6 million for the first nine months of 2025 and 2024, respectively, in connection with a lawsuit against Microsoft Corporation (“Microsoft”) and Open AI Inc. and various of its corporate affiliates (collectively, “OpenAI”), 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”).

NOTE 8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value is the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The transaction would be in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability, based on assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair value hierarchy consists of three levels:
Level 1–quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date;
Level 2–inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3–unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
Assets/Liabilities Measured and Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The following table summarizes our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024:

(1)We classified these investments as Level 2 since the fair value is based on market observable inputs for investments with similar terms and maturities.
(2)The deferred compensation liability, included in Other liabilities—other in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, consists of deferrals under The New York Times Company Deferred Executive Compensation Plan (the “DEC”), a frozen plan that enabled certain eligible executives to elect to defer a portion of their compensation on a pre-tax basis. The deferred amounts are invested at the executives’ option in various mutual funds. The fair value of deferred compensation is based on the mutual fund investments elected by the executives and on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. Participation in the DEC was frozen effective December 31, 2015.
(3)The Company invests the assets associated with the deferred compensation liability in life insurance products. Our investments in life insurance products are included in Miscellaneous assets in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and were $39.8 million as of September 30, 2025, and $45.0 million as of December 31, 2024. The fair value of these assets is measured using the net asset value per share (or its equivalent) and has not been classified in the fair value hierarchy.

Level 3 Liabilities
The contingent consideration liability is related to the 2020 acquisition of substantially all the assets and certain liabilities of Serial Productions, LLC and represents contingent payments based on the achievement of certain operational targets, as defined in the acquisition agreement, over the five years following the acquisition. The Company estimated the fair value using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow model. The estimate of the fair value of contingent consideration requires subjective assumptions to be made regarding probabilities assigned to operational targets and the discount rate. As the fair value is based on significant unobservable inputs, this is a Level 3 liability.
The following table presents changes in the contingent consideration balances for the third quarters and first nine months ended September 30, 2025, and September 30, 2024:

NOTE 9. PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS
Pension
Single-Employer Plans
We maintain The New York Times Companies Pension Plan, a frozen single-employer defined benefit pension plan. The Company also jointly sponsors a defined benefit plan with The NewsGuild of New York known as the Guild-Times Adjustable Pension Plan (the “APP”) that continues to accrue active benefits.
We also have a foreign-based pension plan for certain employees (the “foreign plan”). The information for the foreign plan is combined with the information for U.S. non-qualified plans. The benefit obligation of the foreign plan is immaterial to our total benefit obligation.

During the first nine months of 2025 and 2024, we made pension contributions of $9.4 million and $9.7 million, respectively, to the APP. We expect contributions made to satisfy the greater of minimum funding or collective bargaining agreement requirements to total approximately $13 million in 2025.
As part of our strategy to reduce our pension obligations and the resulting impact on our overall financial position, we have offered lump-sum payments to certain participants in both our qualified and non-qualified pension plans. In the third quarter of 2025, the Company extended a voluntary offer to certain active employees who participate in The New York Times Companies Pension Plan to elect immediate lump-sum payments. The election period for this voluntary offer closes on November 14, 2025.
Multiemployer Plans
During the first quarter of 2025, the Company recorded a $4.5 million charge related to a multiemployer pension plan liability adjustment. This adjustment is recorded in Multiemployer pension plan liability adjustment in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

NOTE 10. INCOME TAXES
The Company had income tax expense of $26.4 million and $69.5 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2025, respectively, compared to $20.9 million and $57.7 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2024, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rates were 24.4% and 24.5% for the third quarter and first nine months of 2025, respectively, compared to 24.6% and 25.3% for the third quarter and first nine months of 2024, respectively. The increase in income tax expense in the third quarter of 2025 was primarily due to higher pre-tax income. The effective income tax rate in the third quarter of 2025 is consistent with the third quarter of 2024.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBBA”) was enacted into law. The OBBBA includes provisions retroactive to January 1, 2025, and among other provisions, eliminates the requirement to capitalize and amortize domestic research and experimentation expenditures over five years and provides an election for taxpayers to deduct such expenditures in the year incurred. These changes will result in lower cash tax payments for fiscal year 2025.
The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development enacted model rules for a new global minimum tax framework (“Pillar Two”), and certain governments globally enacted these rules effective January 1, 2024. The Company continues to assess the potential impacts of Pillar Two and does not expect it to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

NOTE 11. EARNINGS PER SHARE
We compute earnings per share based upon the treasury stock method. Earnings per share is computed using both basic shares and diluted shares. The difference between basic and diluted shares is that diluted shares include the dilutive effect of the assumed exercise or vesting of outstanding securities. Our stock-settled long-term performance awards, restricted stock units and Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) could impact the diluted shares. The difference between basic and diluted shares of approximately 1.4 million and 1.3 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2025 and 2024, respectively, resulted from the dilutive effect of our stock-based awards.
Securities that could potentially be dilutive are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share when a loss from continuing operations exists or when the exercise price exceeds the market value of our Class A Common Stock because their inclusion would result in an anti-dilutive effect on per share amounts.
There were no anti-dilutive stock-settled long-term performance awards, restricted stock units or shares estimated to be purchased under the ESPP excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share in the third quarter and first nine months of 2025 and 2024.
NOTE 12. SUPPLEMENTAL STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY INFORMATION
Share Repurchases
The Board of Directors approved Class A share repurchase programs in February 2023 ($250.0 million) and February 2025 ($350.0 million). The authorizations provide that shares of Class A Common Stock may be purchased from time to time as market conditions warrant, through open-market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or other means, including Rule 10b5-1 trading plans. We expect to repurchase shares to offset the impact of dilution from our equity compensation program and to return capital to our stockholders. There is no expiration date with respect to these authorizations.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, repurchases totaled approximately $109.8 million (excluding commissions and excise taxes). As of September 30, 2025, approximately $405.6 million remains available and authorized for repurchases.

NOTE 13. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company identifies a business as an operating segment if (i) it engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses; (ii) its operating results are regularly reviewed by the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer (who is the Company’s CODM) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance; and (iii) it has available discrete financial information.
In the third quarter of 2025, the Company revised its operating segments to align with how the CODM manages the business, and as a result, the Company has determined it has one reportable segment. The segment is evaluated regularly on a consolidated basis by the Company’s CODM in assessing performance and allocating resources. The Company’s CODM uses adjusted operating profit (loss) to allocate resources during the annual budgeting and forecasting process and to assess the Company’s performance. Adjusted operating profit is defined as operating profit before depreciation and amortization, severance, multiemployer pension plan withdrawal costs and special items. Adjusted operating profit is presented below, along with a reconciliation to income before taxes. Asset information is not a measure of performance used by the Company’s CODM. Accordingly, we have not disclosed asset information.

NOTE 14. CONTINGENCIES
Legal Proceedings
We are involved in various legal actions incidental to our business that are now pending against us. These actions generally assert damages claims that are greatly in excess of the amount, if any, that we would be liable to pay if we lost or settled the cases. We record a liability for legal claims when a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Although the Company cannot predict the outcome of these matters, no amount of loss in excess of recorded amounts as o f September 30, 2025, is believed to be reasonably possible.
In December 2023, we filed a lawsuit against Microsoft and OpenAI in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (“SDNY”), alleging copyright infringement, unfair competition, trademark dilution and violations of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”), related to their unlawful and unauthorized copying and use of our journalism and other content. We are seeking monetary relief, injunctive relief preventing Microsoft and OpenAI from continuing their unlawful, unfair and infringing conduct and other relief. In early 2024, OpenAI and Microsoft filed partial motions to dismiss, seeking dismissal of the unfair competition, contributory copyright infringement and DMCA claims. OpenAI also sought dismissal of a portion of the direct copyright infringement claim as being time-barred. In March 2025, the court dismissed our unfair competition claim and DMCA claims, with leave to replead the latter, which we repled in part in May 2025. The court permitted our other disputed claims to go forward. In April 2025, the Judicial Panel for Multidistrict Litigation consolidated our case with others pending against OpenAI before our assigned judge in the SDNY. We intend to vigorously pursue all of our legal remedies in this litigation, but there is no guarantee that we will be successful in our efforts.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
We are a global media organization focused on creating and distributing high-quality news and information that help our audience understand and engage with the world. We believe that our original, independent and high-quality reporting, storytelling, expertise and journalistic excellence set us apart from other sources and are at the heart of what makes our journalism worth paying for.
We generate revenues principally from the sale of subscriptions and advertising. Subscription revenues consist of revenues from standalone and multiproduct bundle subscriptions to our digital products and subscriptions to and single-copy and bulk sales of our print products. Advertising revenue is derived from the sale of our advertising products and services. The Company changed the revenue caption on its Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations from “Other” to “Affiliate, licensing and other” effective for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. Affiliate, licensing and other revenues include revenues from licensing, Wirecutter affiliate referrals, commercial printing, the leasing of floors in the New York headquarters building located at 620 Eighth Avenue, New York, New York (the “Company Headquarters”), our live events business and retail commerce. Our main operating costs are employee-related costs.
In the accompanying analysis of financial information, we present certain information derived from our consolidated financial information but not presented in our financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). We are presenting in this report supplemental non-GAAP financial performance measures that exclude depreciation, amortization, severance, non-operating retirement costs and certain identified special items, as applicable. In addition, we present our free cash flow, defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for the related GAAP measures and should be read in conjunction with financial information presented on a GAAP basis. For further information and reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, see “— Results of Operations — Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
There was one fewer day in the first nine months of 2025 compared with the first nine months of 2024 as a result of 2024 being a leap year.
In the third quarter of 2025, the Company updated its internal reporting to reflect how the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, (who is the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”)) manages the business, and as a result, the Company has determined it has one reportable segment and one reporting unit.
Financial Highlights
•The Company added approximately 460,000 net digital-only subscribers compared with the end of the second quarter of 2025, driven largely by other single products subscriber additions as well as bundle and multiproduct subscriber additions. The Company ended the third quarter of 2025 with approximately 12.33 million subscribers to its print and digital products, including approximately 11.76 million digital-only subscribers. Of the 11.76 million digital-only subscribers, approximately 6.27 million were bundle and multiproduct subscribers. Compared with the end of the third quarter of 2024, there was a net increase of 1,290,000 digital-only subscribers.
•Total digital-only average revenue per user (“ARPU”) increased 3.6% year-over-year to $9.79 driven primarily by subscribers transitioning from promotional to higher prices and price increases on certain tenured subscribers.
•Operating profit increased 36.6% to $104.8 million in the third quarter of 2025 from $76.7 million in the third quarter of 2024. Adjusted operating profit (“AOP”), defined as operating profit before depreciation, amortization, severance, multiemployer pension plan withdrawal costs and special items (a non-GAAP measure discussed below under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”), increased 26.1% to $131.4 million in the third quarter of 2025 from $104.2 million in the third quarter of 2024. Operating profit margin (operating profit expressed as a percentage of revenues) increased to 15.0% in the third quarter of 2025, compared with 12.0% in the third quarter of 2024. Adjusted operating profit margin, defined as adjusted operating profit expressed as a percentage of revenues (a non-GAAP measure discussed below under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”), increased to 18.7% in the third quarter of 2025, compared with 16.3% in the third quarter of 2024.
•Total revenues increased 9.5% to $700.8 million in the third quarter of 2025 from $640.2 million in the third quarter of 2024.
•Total subscription revenues increased 9.1% to $494.6 million in the third quarter of 2025 from $453.3 million in the third quarter of 2024. Digital-only subscription revenues increased 14.0% to $367.4 million in the third quarter of 2025 from $322.2 million in the third quarter of 2024.
22

•Total advertising revenues increased 11.8% to $132.3 million in the third quarter of 2025 from $118.4 million in the third quarter of 2024, due to an increase of 20.3% in digital advertising revenues. Print advertising revenues decreased 7.1% to $34.2 million.
•Affiliate, licensing and other revenues increased 7.9% to $73.9 million in the third quarter of 2025 from $68.5 million in the third quarter of 2024, as a result of higher licensing revenues.
•Operating costs increased 5.8% to $596.0 million in the third quarter of 2025 from $563.5 million in the third quarter of 2024. Adjusted operating costs, defined as operating costs before depreciation, amortization, severance, multiemployer pension plan withdrawal costs and special items (a non-GAAP measure discussed below under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”), increased 6.2% to $569.4 million in the third quarter of 2025 from $536.0 million in the third quarter of 2024.
•Diluted earnings per share were $0.50 and $0.39 for the third quarters of 2025 and 2024, respectively. Adjusted diluted earnings per share, defined as diluted earnings per share excluding amortization of acquired intangible assets, severance, non-operating retirement costs and special items (a non-GAAP measure discussed below under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”), were $0.59 and $0.45 for the third quarters of 2025 and 2024, respectively.
•Net cash provided by operating activities in the first nine months of 2025 was $420.3 million compared with $258.8 million in the same period of 2024, and free cash flow, defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures (a non-GAAP measure discussed below under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”), was $392.9 million for the first nine months of 2025 compared with $237.7 million in the same period of 2024.
Industry Trends, Economic Conditions, Challenges and Risks
We operate in a highly competitive environment that is subject to rapid change. We compete for audience, subscribers, licensees and advertising against a wide variety of companies. Companies shaping our competitive environment include content providers and distributors, news aggregators, search engines, social media platforms, streaming services and products and tools powered by generative artificial intelligence, many of which have attracted and may continue to attract audiences and/or advertisers to their platforms and away from ours. Competition among these companies is robust, and new competitors can quickly emerge and have in recent years. We have designed our strategy to navigate the challenges and take advantage of opportunities presented by this period of transformation in our industry.
We and the companies with which we do business are subject to risks and uncertainties caused by factors beyond our control, including economic weakness, instability, uncertainty and volatility, including the potential for a recession; expanded or retaliatory tariffs or taxes or other trade barriers; a competitive labor market; inflation; supply chain disruptions; high interest rates and interest rates volatility; and political and sociopolitical uncertainties and conflicts. These factors may result in declines and/or volatility in our results. While we do not currently anticipate a material impact to the Company’s direct costs from the imposition of tariffs by the U.S. government, such tariffs and any retaliatory actions by foreign governments could result in increased costs and could negatively affect economic conditions, which could in turn adversely impact our subscription; advertising; and/or affiliate, licensing and other revenues. We believe the macroeconomic environment has had, and may in the future have, an adverse impact on both digital and print advertising spending. Additionally, we believe that there may be marketer sensitivity to some news topics, impacting overall advertising spend.
The newspaper industry has transitioned from being primarily print-focused to digital, resulting in secular declines in both print subscription and print advertising revenues, and we do not expect this trend to reverse. Our printing and distribution costs have been impacted as a result of this transition, and may be further impacted in the future by higher costs, including those associated with raw materials, delivery and distribution and outside printing, or if they were to become subject to expanded or retaliatory tariffs (though newsprint is currently exempt from the proposed expansion of U.S. tariffs on goods from Canada).
We actively monitor industry trends, political and economic conditions, challenges and risks to remain flexible and to optimize and evolve our business as appropriate; however, the full impact they will have on our business, operations and financial results is uncertain and will depend on numerous factors and future developments. The risks related to our business are further described in the section titled “Item 1A — Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Revenues
Subscription Revenues
Subscription revenues consist of revenues from subscriptions to our digital and print products (which include our news product, as well as The Athletic and our Audio, Cooking, Games and Wirecutter products), and single-copy and bulk sales of our print products (which represented less than 5% of our subscription revenues in the third quarters of 2025 and 2024). Subscription revenues are based on both the number of digital-only subscriptions and copies of the printed newspaper sold, and the rates charged to the respective customers.
We offer a digital-only bundle that includes access to our digital news product (which includes our news website, NYTimes.com, and mobile applications), as well as The Athletic and our Audio, Cooking, Games and Wirecutter products. Our subscriptions also include standalone digital subscriptions to each of these products.
Subscription revenues increased $41.3 million, or 9.1%, in the third quarter of 2025 compared with the same prior-year period, due to an increase in digital-only subscription revenues of $45.2 million, or 14.0%, partially offset by a decrease in print subscription revenues of $3.9 million, or 3.0%. Digital-only subscription revenues increased primarily due to an increase in bundle and multiproduct revenues of $55.8 million and an increase in other single-product subscription revenues of $4.7 million, partially offset by a decrease in news-only subscription revenues of $15.3 million. Bundle and multiproduct average digital-only subscribers increased 1,130,000, or 22.8%, while bundle and multiproduct ARPU increased $0.49, or 4.0%. Other single-product average digital-only subscribers increased 480,000, or 15.0%, while other single-product ARPU decreased $0.08, or 2.2%. News-only average digital-only subscribers decreased 570,000, or 26.1%, while news-only ARPU increased $1.19, or 10.4%. In calculating average digital-only subscribers for our subscriber categories, we use the monthly average number of digital-only subscribers (calculated as the weighted average of each month’s daily average subscribers). Print subscription revenue decreased primarily due to decreases in home-delivery and single-copy revenues. The decrease in home-delivery subscription revenue was driven by a lower number of average print subscribers, reflecting secular trends, partially offset by an increase in domestic home-delivery prices.
Subscription revenues increased $118.7 million, or 9.0%, in the first nine months of 2025 compared with the same prior-year period, due to an increase in digital-only subscription revenues of $133.2 million, or 14.5%, partially offset by a decrease in print subscription revenues of $14.5 million, or 3.6%. Digital-only subscription revenues increased primarily due to an increase in bundle and multiproduct revenues of $170.2 million and an increase in other single-product subscription revenues of $16.6 million, partially offset by a decrease in news-only subscription revenues of $53.6 million. Bundle and multiproduct average digital-only subscribers increased 1,200,000, or 25.7%, while bundle and multiproduct ARPU increased $0.54, or 4.5%. Other single-product average digital-only subscribers increased 570,000, or 19.1%, while other single-product ARPU decreased $0.09, or 2.5%. News-only average digital-only subscribers decreased 660,000, or 27.6%, while news-only ARPU increased $1.16, or 10.3%. Print subscription revenue decreased primarily due to a decrease in home-delivery subscription revenues, which was driven by a lower number of average print subscribers, reflecting secular trends, partially offset by an increase in domestic home-delivery prices.
The following table summarizes digital and print subscription revenues for the third quarters and first nine months of 2025 and 2024:

|  | For the Quarters Ended |  | For the Nine Months Ended
(In thousands) |  | September 30, 2025 |  | September 30, 2024 |  | % Change |  | September 30, 2025 |  | September 30, 2024 |  | % Change

(1)Includes revenue from bundled subscriptions and standalone subscriptions to our news product, as well as The Athletic and our Audio, Cooking, Games and Wirecutter products.
(2)Includes domestic home-delivery subscriptions, which include access to our digital products. Also includes single-copy, NYT International and Other subscription revenues.
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. The Company ended the third quarter of 2025 with approximately 12.33 million subscribers to its print and digital products, including approximately 11.76 million digital-only subscribers.
Compared with the end of the second quarter of 2025, there was a net increase of 460,000 digital-only subscribers. Compared with the end of the third quarter of 2024, there was a net increase of 1,290,000 digital-only subscribers.
25

Print domestic home-delivery subscribers totaled approximately 570,000 at the end of the third quarter of 2025, a net decrease of 10,000 subscribers compared with the end of the second quarter of 2025 and a net decrease of 40,000 subscribers compared with the end of the third quarter of 2024. 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.
We report three mutually exclusive digital-only subscriber categories: bundle and multiproduct, news-only and other single-product, which collectively sum to total digital-only subscribers, as well as the average revenue per user for each of these categories.
The following table sets forth subscribers as of the end of the five most recent fiscal quarters:

|  | For the Quarters Ended
(In thousands) |  | September 30, 2025 |  | June 30, 2025 |  | March 31, 2025 |  | December 31, 2024 |  | September 30, 2024

Total subscribers |  | 12,330 |  |  | 11,880 |  |  | 11,660 |  |  | 11,430 |  |  | 11,090 |

(1)Subscribers with a bundle subscription or standalone digital-only subscriptions to two or more of the Company’s products.
(2)Includes group corporate and group education subscriptions, which collectively represented approximately 6% of total digital-only subscribers as of the end of the third quarter of 2025. The number of group subscribers is derived using the value of the relevant contract and a discounted subscription rate.
(3)As of the third quarter of 2025, includes subscribers related to family subscriptions. Each family subscription is priced higher than a comparable individual subscription and is counted as one billed subscriber and one additional subscriber to reflect the additional entitlements in these subscriptions. The additional subscribers represented approximately 2% of total digital-only subscribers as of the end of the third quarter of 2025.
(4)Subscribers with only a digital-only news product subscription.
(5)Subscribers with only one digital-only subscription to The Athletic or to our Audio, Cooking, Games or Wirecutter products.
(6)Subscribers with digital-only subscriptions to one or more of our news product, The Athletic, or our Audio, Cooking, Games and Wirecutter products.
(7)Subscribers with a domestic home-delivery or mail print subscription to The New York Times, which includes access to our digital products, or a print subscription to our Book Review or Large Type Weekly products.
The sum of individual metrics may not always equal total amounts indicated due to rounding. Subscribers (including net subscriber additions) are rounded to the nearest ten thousand.
“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. The following table sets forth ARPU metrics relating to the above digital-only subscriber categories for the five most recent fiscal quarters:

|  | For the Quarters Ended
|  | September 30, 2025 |  | June 30, 2025 |  | March 31, 2025 |  | December 31, 2024 |  | September 30, 2024
Digital-only ARPU: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Bundle and multiproduct |  | $ | 12.84 |  |  | $ | 12.52 |  |  | $ | 12.38 |  |  | $ | 12.53 |  |  | $ | 12.35 |
News-only |  | $ | 12.67 |  |  | $ | 12.28 |  |  | $ | 12.12 |  |  | $ | 11.95 |  |  | $ | 11.48 |
Other single-product |  | $ | 3.51 |  |  | $ | 3.51 |  |  | $ | 3.54 |  |  | $ | 3.58 |  |  | $ | 3.59 |
Total digital-only ARPU |  | $ | 9.79 |  |  | $ | 9.64 |  |  | $ | 9.54 |  |  | $ | 9.65 |  |  | $ | 9.45 |

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.
26

Total digital-only ARPU was $9.79 for the third quarter of 2025, an increase of 3.6% compared with the third quarter of 2024. The year-over-year increase was driven primarily by subscribers transitioning from promotional to higher prices and price increases on certain tenured subscribers.
Advertising Revenues
Advertising revenue is primarily derived from advertisers (such as luxury goods, technology, and financial companies) promoting products, services or brands on digital platforms in the form of display, audio, email and video ads; in print in the form of column-inch ads; and at live events. Advertising revenue is primarily determined by the volume (e.g., impressions or column inches), rate and mix of advertisements. 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, for a smaller proportion, through programmatic auctions run by third-party ad exchanges. Digital advertising revenue also includes creative services fees. Print advertising includes revenue from column-inch ads and classified advertising, as well as preprinted advertising, also known as freestanding inserts.
The following table summarizes digital and print advertising revenues for the third quarters and first nine months of 2025 and 2024:

|  | For the Quarters Ended |  | For the Nine Months Ended
(In thousands) |  | September 30, 2025 |  | September 30, 2024 |  | % Change |  | September 30, 2025 |  | September 30, 2024 |  | % Change
Digital advertising revenues |  | $ | 98,111 |  |  | $ | 81,564 |  |  | 20.3 | % |  | $ | 263,398 |  |  | $ | 224,166 |  |  | 17.5 | %
Print advertising revenues |  | 34,180 |  |  | 36,806 |  |  | (7.1) | % |  | 110,943 |  |  | 117,078 |  |  | (5.2) | %
Total advertising revenues |  | $ | 132,291 |  |  | $ | 118,370 |  |  | 11.8 | % |  | $ | 374,341 |  |  | $ | 341,244 |  |  | 9.7 | %

Digital advertising revenues, which represented 74.2% of total advertising revenues in the third quarter of 2025, increased $16.5 million, or 20.3%, to $98.1 million compared with $81.6 million in the same prior-year period. The increase was primarily a result of higher display revenues of $14.5 million, driven by strong marketer demand and new advertising supply. Display impressions increased 4%, while the average rate increased 20%.
Digital advertising revenues, which represented 70.4% of total advertising revenues in the first nine months of 2025, increased $39.2 million, or 17.5%, to $263.4 million compared with $224.2 million in the same prior-year period. The increase was primarily a result of higher display revenues of $43.7 million, driven by new advertising supply in areas of strong marketer demand, partially offset by lower podcast revenues of $3.0 million and lower creative services fees of $2.8 million as a result of the volume of custom advertising campaigns. Display impressions increased 18%, while the average rate increased 7%.
Print advertising revenues, which represented 25.8% of total advertising revenues in the third quarter of 2025, decreased $2.6 million, or 7.1%, to $34.2 million compared with $36.8 million the same prior-year period. The decrease was primarily due to a 9.3% decrease in revenues from column-inch ads, partially offset by a 2.4% increase in print advertising rate.
Print advertising revenues, which represented 29.6% of total advertising revenues in the first nine months of 2025, decreased $6.1 million, or 5.2%, to $110.9 million compared with $117.1 million in the same prior-year period. The decrease in the first nine months was primarily due to a 7.2% decrease in revenues from column-inch ads, partially offset by a 2.1% increase in print advertising rate. Print advertising revenues in 2025 continue to be impacted by secular trends.
Affiliate, Licensing and Other Revenues
Affiliate, licensing and other revenues include revenues from licensing, Wirecutter affiliate referrals, commercial printing, the leasing of floors in the Company Headquarters, our live events business and retail commerce.
Affiliate, licensing and other revenues increased $5.4 million, or 7.9%, in the third quarter of 2025 compared with the same prior-year period. The increase was primarily a result of higher licensing revenues.
Affiliate, licensing and other revenues increased $11.6 million, or 5.9% in the first nine months of 2025 compared with the same prior-year period. The increase was primarily a result of higher licensing revenues of $10.8 million, as well as growth in Wirecutter affiliate referral revenues of $4.7 million, partially offset by lower books, television and film revenues of $3.4 million.
Digital affiliate, licensing and other revenues, which consist primarily of Wirecutter affiliate referral revenue and digital licensing revenues, totaled $49.2 million and $43.6 million in the third quarters of 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $134.8 million and $121.6 million in the first nine months of 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Cost of Revenue (excluding depreciation and amortization)
Cost of revenue includes all costs related to content creation, subscriber and advertiser servicing, and print production and distribution as well as infrastructure costs related to delivering digital content, which include all cloud and cloud-related costs as well as compensation for employees that enhance and maintain that infrastructure.
Cost of revenue in the third quarter of 2025 increased $17.2 million, or 5.2%, compared with the same prior-year period. The increase was largely due to higher journalism costs of $12.7 million and higher subscriber servicing costs of $2.9 million. Advertising servicing, print production and distribution and digital content delivery costs were relatively flat compared to prior year. The increase in journalism costs was largely due to higher compensation and benefits, which was driven by growth in the number of employees who work in our newsrooms as well as higher salaries, benefits costs and incentive compensation. The increase in subscriber servicing costs was largely due to higher commissions and credit card processing fees due to an increase in subscriptions.
Cost of revenue in the first nine months of 2025 increased $51.0 million, or 5.3%, compared with the same prior-year period. The increase was largely due to higher journalism costs of $31.3 million, higher subscriber servicing costs of $13.8 million, higher digital content delivery costs of $4.1 million and higher advertising servicing costs of $2.2 million. Print production and distribution costs were relatively flat compared to prior year. The increase in journalism costs was largely due to higher compensation and benefits, which was driven by growth in the number of employees who work in our newsrooms as well as higher salaries, benefits costs and incentive compensation, partially offset by lower outside services costs. The increase in subscriber servicing was largely due to higher commissions and credit card processing fees due to an increase in subscriptions, as well as higher compensation and benefits. The increase in digital content delivery costs was largely due to higher cloud related costs. The increase in advertising servicing costs was largely due to an increase in outside services costs and higher incentive compensation.
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing includes costs related to the Company’s subscription and brand marketing efforts as well as advertising sales costs.
Sales and marketing costs in the third quarter of 2025 increased $10.4 million, or 15.1%, compared with the same prior-year period. The increase was due to higher marketing costs of $6.5 million and higher sales costs of $4.0 million. The increase in marketing costs was primarily due to higher media expenses. The increase in sales costs was primarily due to higher compensation and benefits largely driven by higher incentive compensation and growth in the number of employees.
Sales and marketing costs in the first nine months of 2025 increased $19.1 million, or 9.8%, compared with the same prior-year period. The increase was due to higher marketing costs of $11.7 million and higher sales costs of $7.4 million. The increase in marketing costs was primarily due to higher media expenses. The increase in sales costs was primarily due to higher compensation and benefits largely driven by higher incentive compensation, growth in the number of employees and higher benefit costs, as well as higher outside services costs.
28

Media expenses, a component of sales and marketing costs that primarily represents the cost to promote our subscription business, increased 18.0% to $41.3 million in the third quarter of 2025 from $35.0 million in the third quarter of 2024 and increased 13.1% to $104.4 million in the first nine months of 2025 from $92.4 million in the first nine months of 2024. The increase in the third quarter of 2025 was largely a result of higher brand marketing expenses. The increase in the first nine months of 2025 was largely a result of higher subscriber acquisition spending and higher brand marketing expenses.
Product Development
Product development includes costs associated with the Company’s investment in developing and enhancing new and existing product technology, including engineering, product management, design and data.
Product development costs in the third quarter of 2025 increased $6.0 million, or 9.8%, compared with the same prior-year period. The increase in the third quarter of 2025 was largely due to higher compensation and benefits expenses of $2.4 million driven by higher incentive compensation, higher software and licensing costs of $1.6 million and higher outside services costs of $1.3 million.
Product development costs in the first nine months of 2025 increased $11.0 million, or 5.9%, compared with the same prior-year period. The increase in the first nine months of 2025 was largely due to higher compensation and benefits expenses of $5.0 million driven by higher benefits costs and higher incentive compensation, as well as higher outside services costs of $2.7 million and higher software and licensing costs of $2.1 million.
General and Administrative Costs
General and administrative costs include general management, corporate enterprise technology, building operations, unallocated overhead costs, severance and multiemployer pension plan withdrawal costs.
General and administrative costs in the third quarter of 2025 increased $0.4 million, or 0.6%, compared with the same prior-year period. The increase was primarily due to higher compensation and benefits of $4.4 million driven by incentive compensation and higher severance expense of $1.3 million, partially offset by lower professional fees and other miscellaneous expenses of $4.6 million.
General and administrative costs in the first nine months of 2025 increased $7.2 million, or 3.1%, compared with the same prior-year period. The increase was primarily due to higher compensation and benefits of $6.6 million driven by incentive compensation and higher benefits costs, higher professional fees of $2.7 million, partially offset by lower severance expense of $1.0 million.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization costs in the third quarter and first nine months of 2025 increased $0.7 million, or 3.5%, and $2.3 million, or 3.6%, respectively, compared with the same prior-year period.
Generative AI Litigation Costs
In the third quarter and first nine months of 2025, the Company recorded $2.4 million and $10.3 million, respectively, and $4.6 million and $7.6 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2024, respectively, of pre-tax litigation-related costs 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. See Note 14 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Multiemployer Pension Plan Liability Adjustment
In the first quarter of 2025, the Company recorded a $4.5 million charge related to a multiemployer pension plan liability adjustment.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
We have included in this report certain supplemental financial information derived from consolidated financial information but not presented in our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Specifically, we have referred to the following non-GAAP financial measures in this report:
•adjusted diluted earnings per share, defined as diluted earnings per share excluding severance, non-operating retirement costs and the impact of special items;
•adjusted operating profit, defined as operating profit before depreciation, amortization, severance, multiemployer pension plan withdrawal costs and special items, and expressed as a percentage of revenues, adjusted operating profit margin;
•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 special items in 2025 consisted of:
•$2.4 million of Generative AI Litigation Costs ($1.8 million, or $0.01 per share, after tax) in the third quarter and $10.3 million ($7.6 million, or $0.05 per share, after tax) for the first nine months.
•a $3.5 million charge ($2.6 million, or $0.02 per share, after tax) in the third quarter related to an impairment of a non-marketable equity investment. The charge is included in Interest income and other, net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
•a $4.5 million charge ($3.3 million, or $0.02 per share, after tax) in the first quarter related to a multiemployer pension plan liability adjustment.
The special items in 2024 consisted of:
•$4.6 million of Generative AI Litigation Costs ($3.4 million, or $0.03 per share, after tax) in the third quarter and $7.6 million ($5.6 million, or $0.05 per share, after tax) for the first nine months.
We have included these non-GAAP financial measures because management reviews them on a regular basis and uses them to evaluate and manage the performance of our operations. We believe 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 earnings per share 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 businesses 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 and multiemployer pension plan withdrawal costs. Total operating costs, excluding these items, provides investors with helpful supplemental information on the Company’s underlying operating costs that is used by management in its financial and operational decision-making.
30

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.
Excluded from our non-GAAP financial measures are non-operating retirement costs which are primarily tied to financial market performance and 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 earnings per share excluding non-operating retirement costs and presenting adjusted operating results excluding multiemployer pension plan withdrawal costs, in addition to the Company’s GAAP diluted earnings per share and GAAP operating results, provide increased transparency and a better understanding of the underlying trends in the Company’s operating business performance.
The Company considers free cash flow, which is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures, to provide useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash that is available to be used to strengthen the Company’s balance sheet and for strategic opportunities including, among others, investing in the Company’s business, strategic acquisitions, dividend payouts and repurchasing stock. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources — Free Cash Flow” below for more information and a reconciliation of free cash flow to net cash provided by operating activities.
Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are set out in the tables below.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We believe our cash balance and cash provided by operations, in combination with other sources of cash, will be sufficient to meet our financing needs over the next 12 months. As of September 30, 2025, we had cash, cash equivalents and short- and long-term marketable securities of $1.1 billion.
We have paid quarterly dividends on the Class A and Class B Common Stock each quarter since late 2013. In February 2025, the Board of Directors approved an increase in the quarterly dividend to $0.18 per share, which was paid in April 2025. In June and September 2025, the Board of Directors declared quarterly dividends of $0.18 per share on the Class A and Class B Common Stock, which were paid in July and October 2025. We currently expect to continue to pay cash dividends in the future, although changes in our dividend program will be considered by our Board of Directors in light of our earnings, capital requirements, financial condition and other factors considered relevant.
The Board of Directors approved Class A share repurchase programs in February 2023 ($250.0 million) and February 2025 ($350.0 million). The authorizations provide that shares of Class A Common Stock may be purchased from time to time as market conditions warrant, through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or other means, including Rule 10b5-1 trading plans. We expect to repurchase shares to offset the impact of dilution from our equity compensation program and to return capital to our stockholders. There is no expiration date with respect to these authorizations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, repurchases totaled approximately $109.8 million (excluding commissions and excise taxes), and we repurchased an additional $12.6 million (excluding commissions and excise taxes) between October 1, 2025, and October 31, 2025, leaving approximately $393.0 million remaining under the authorizations.
Capital Resources
Sources and Uses of Cash
Cash flows provided by/(used in) by category were as follows:

|  | For the Nine Months Ended |  |
(In thousands) |  | September 30, 2025 |  | September 30, 2024 |  | % Change
Operating activities |  | $ | 420,334 |  |  | $ | 258,816 |  |  | 62.4 | %

Financing activities |  | $ | (220,725) |  |  | $ | (144,641) |  |  | 52.6 | %

* Represents a change equal to or in excess of 100% or not meaningful.
Operating Activities
Cash from operating activities is generated by cash receipts from subscriptions; advertising sales; and affiliate, licensing and other revenues. Operating cash outflows include payments for employee compensation, pension and other benefits, raw materials, marketing expenses and income taxes.
Net cash provided by operating activities increased in the first nine months of 2025 compared with the same prior-year period primarily due to higher net income, lower cash tax payments due to the impact of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and net proceeds 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.
Investing Activities
Cash from investing activities generally includes proceeds from marketable securities that have matured and the sale of assets, investments or a business. Cash used in investing activities generally includes purchases of marketable securities, payments for capital projects and acquisitions of new businesses and investments.
Net cash used in investing activities in the first nine months of 2025 was primarily related to $134.7 million in net purchases of marketable securities and capital expenditures of $27.5 million.
Financing Activities
Cash used in financing activities generally includes the payment of dividends, share-based compensation withholding tax payments and share repurchases.
Net cash used in financing activities in the first nine months of 2025 was primarily related to share repurchases of $109.9 million, dividend payments of $81.1 million and share-based compensation tax withholding payments of $29.3 million.
33

Free Cash Flow
Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as net cash provided by operating activities, less capital expenditures. The Company considers free cash flow to provide useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash that is available to be used to strengthen the Company’s balance sheet and for strategic opportunities including, among others, investing in the Company’s business, strategic acquisitions, dividend payouts and repurchasing stock. In addition, management uses free cash flow to set targets for return of capital to stockholders in the form of dividends and share repurchases.
The following table presents a reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities to free cash flow:

|  | For the Nine Months Ended
(In thousands) |  | September 30, 2025 |  | September 30, 2024
Net cash provided by operating activities(1) |  | $ | 420,334 |  |  | $ | 258,816 |
Less: Capital expenditures |  | (27,451) |  |  | (21,115) |
Free cash flow |  | $ | 392,883 |  |  | $ | 237,701 |

(1)Net cash provided by operating activities in the first nine months of 2025 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.
Free cash flow in the first nine months of 2025 was $392.9 million compared with $237.7 million in 2024. Free cash flow increased primarily due to higher cash provided by operating activities, as discussed above.
Restricted Cash
We were required to maintain $14.9 million of restricted cash as of September 30, 2025, and $14.4 million as of December 31, 2024, substantially all of which is set aside to collateralize workers’ compensation obligations.
Capital Expenditures
Capital expenditures totaled approximately $26 million and $22 million in the first nine months of 2025 and 2024, respectively. The cash payments related to capital expenditures totaled approximately $27 million and $21 million in the first nine months of 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Revolving Credit Facility
On June 13, 2025, the Company entered into an amendment and restatement of its previous credit facility that, among other changes, increased the committed amount to $400.0 million and extended the maturity date to June 13, 2030 (as amended and restated, the “Credit Facility”). Certain of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries have guaranteed the Company’s obligations under the Credit Facility. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at specified rates based on our utilization and consolidated leverage ratio. The Credit Facility contains various customary affirmative and negative covenants. In addition, the Company is obligated to pay a quarterly unused commitment fee at an annual rate of 0.20%.
As of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, there were no borrowings and approximately $0.4 million in outstanding letters of credit, with the remaining committed amount available. As of September 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants contained in the Credit Facility.

Forward-looking statements are based upon our current expectations, estimates and assumptions and involve risks and uncertainties that change over time; actual results could differ materially from those predicted by such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: significant competition in all aspects of our business; our ability to grow the size and profitability of our subscriber base; our dependence on third-party platforms for attracting, retaining and monetizing a significant portion of our users; our dependence on user and other metrics that are subject to inherent challenges in measurement; numerous factors that affect our advertising revenues, including market dynamics, evolving digital advertising trends and the evolution of our strategy; damage to our brand or reputation from negative perceptions or publicity or otherwise; risks associated with generative artificial intelligence technology; economic, market and political conditions or other events; risks associated with the international scope of our business and foreign operations; significant disruptions in our newsprint supply chain or newspaper printing and distribution channels or a significant increase in the costs to print and distribute our newspaper; risks associated with environmental, social and governance matters; risks associated with litigation or governmental investigations; our ability to protect our intellectual property; claims against us of intellectual property infringement; our ability to improve and scale our technical and data infrastructure; security incidents and other network and information systems disruptions; our ability to comply with laws and regulations with respect to privacy, data protection and consumer marketing and subscriptions practices; payment processing risk; our dependence on continued and unimpeded access to the internet and cloud-based hosting services we utilize; risks associated with attracting and maintaining a talented and diverse workforce; the impact of labor negotiations and collective bargaining agreements; potential limits on our operating flexibility due to the nature of our employee-related costs; the effects of the size and volatility of our pension plan obligations; liabilities that may result from our participation in multiemployer pension plans; risks associated with acquisitions, divestitures, investments and similar transactions; the risks and challenges associated with investments we make in new and existing products and services; our ability to meet our publicly announced guidance and/or targets; the effects of restrictions on our operations as a result of the terms of our credit facility; potential limits on our future access to capital markets and other financing options; and the concentration of control of our company due to our dual-class capital structure.
More information regarding these risks and uncertainties and other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements is set forth in “Item 1A — Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, and “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of September 30, 2025. Based upon such evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2025, to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are involved in various legal actions incidental to our business that are now pending against us. These actions generally assert damages claims that are greatly in excess of the amount, if any, that we would be liable to pay if we lost or settled the cases. We record a liability for legal claims when a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Although the Company cannot predict the outcome of these matters, no amount of loss in excess of recorded amounts as of September 30, 2025, is believed to be reasonably possible.
In December 2023, we filed a lawsuit against Microsoft Corporation (“Microsoft”), Open AI Inc. and various of its corporate affiliates (collectively, “OpenAI”) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (“SDNY”), alleging copyright infringement, unfair competition, trademark dilution and violations of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”), related to their unlawful and unauthorized copying and use of our journalism and other content. We are seeking monetary relief, injunctive relief preventing Microsoft and OpenAI from continuing their unlawful, unfair and infringing conduct and other relief. In early 2024, OpenAI and Microsoft filed partial motions to dismiss, seeking dismissal of the unfair competition, contributory copyright infringement and DMCA claims. OpenAI also sought dismissal of a portion of the direct copyright infringement claim as being time-barred. In March 2025, the court dismissed our unfair competition claim and DMCA claims, with leave to replead the latter, which we repled in part in May 2025. The court permitted our other disputed claims to go forward. In April 2025, the Judicial Panel for Multidistrict Litigation consolidated our case with others pending against OpenAI before our assigned judge in the SDNY. We intend to vigorously pursue all of our legal remedies in this litigation, but there is no guarantee that we will be successful in our efforts. See Note 14 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes to our risk factors as set forth in “Item 1A—Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

The Board of Directors approved Class A stock repurchase programs in February 2023 ($250.0 million) and February 2025 ($350.0 million). The authorizations provide that shares of Class A Common Stock may be purchased from time to time as market conditions warrant, through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or other means, including Rule 10b5-1 trading plans. We expect to repurchase shares to offset the impact of dilution from our equity compensation program and to return capital to our stockholders. There is no expiration date with respect to these authorizations.
Item 5. Other Information
Securities Trading Plans of Directors and Executive Officers
During the quarter ended September 30, 2025, none of our directors or executive officers adopted or terminated any contract, instruction or written plan for the purchase or sale of the Company’s securities that was intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c) or any “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” (as defined in Item 408(c) of Regulation S-K).
