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 March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, and the results of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows of the Company for the quarters ended March 31, 2025, and March 31, 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 quarter of 2025 contains one fewer day compared with the first quarter of 2024 as a result of 2024 being a leap year.

The Company has two reportable segments: The New York Times Group (“NYTG”) and The Athletic.

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 has 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 March 31, 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. Early adoption is permitted.	Requires entities to provide disaggregated income tax disclosures on the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The Company plans to adopt this guidance in the fourth quarter of 2025 and does not expect a significant impact on its income tax disclosures.
2024-03 2025-01	Income Statement- Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures: Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses	Fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted.	Requires entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements on an interim and annual basis. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of this guidance on the Company’s disclosures.

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.

THE NEW YORK TIMES COMPANY

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

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 have 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, currently for a smaller proportion, through programmatic auctions run by third-party ad exchanges. Digital advertising revenue also includes creative services fees. NYTG and The Athletic have revenue from all categories discussed above. Print advertising includes revenue from column-inch ads and classified advertising, as well as preprinted advertising, also known as freestanding inserts. There is no print advertising revenue generated from The Athletic, which does not have a print product.

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”), retail commerce and our live events business.

Subscription, advertising and affiliate, licensing and other revenues were as follows:

Total advertising	$	108,076	100.0	%	$	103,711	100.0	%

Performance Obligations

We have remaining performance obligations related to digital archive and other licensing and certain advertising contracts. As of March 31, 2025, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations for contracts with a duration greater than one year was approximately $129 million. The Company will recognize this revenue as performance obligations are satisfied. We expect that approximately $72 million, $32 million and $25 million will be recognized in the remainder of 2025, 2026 and thereafter through 2030, respectively.

Unexpired Subscriptions

Payments for subscriptions are typically due upfront, and the revenue is recognized ratably over the subscription period. The proceeds are recorded within Unexpired subscriptions revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Total unexpired subscriptions as of December 31, 2024, were $187.1 million, of which approximately $118.0 million was recognized as revenues during the quarter ended March 31, 2025.

NOTE 4. MARKETABLE SECURITIES

The Company accounts for its marketable securities as available for sale (“AFS”). The Company recorded $2.1 million and $1.1 million of pre-tax net unrealized gains in Accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) as of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively.

The following tables present the amortized cost, gross unrealized gains and losses, and fair market value of our AFS securities as of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024:

We assess our AFS securities for impairment on a quarterly basis or more often if a potential loss-triggering event occurs.

As of March 31, 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 March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, we have recognized no impairment losses or allowance for credit losses related to AFS securities.

As of March 31, 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.

College Point Land Sale

On December 9, 2020, we entered into an agreement to lease and subsequently sell approximately four acres of excess land at our printing and distribution facility in College Point, N.Y. The transaction was accounted for as a sales-type lease and, as a result, we recognized a gain at the time of the lease commencement on April 11, 2022. On February 21, 2025, we finalized the sale and received net proceeds of approximately $33 million, which were recorded in Net cash provided by operating activities – Other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.

Revolving Credit Facility

On July 27, 2022, the Company entered into an amendment and restatement of its previous credit facility that, among other changes, increased the committed amount to $350.0 million and extended the maturity date to July 27, 2027 (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 March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, there were no borrowings and approximately $0.6 million in outstanding letters of credit, with the remaining committed amount available. As of March 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants contained in the Credit Facility.

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 March 31, 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 $38.0 million as of March 31, 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 quarters ended March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024:


	Quarters Ended
(In thousands)	March 31, 2025		March 31, 2024

Contingent consideration at the end of the period	$	1,182	$	5,528

(1)Fair value adjustments are included in General and administrative costs in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The remaining contingent consideration balances as of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, of $1.2 million and $1.6 million, respectively, are included in Accrued expenses and other in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

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.

The components of net periodic pension cost/(income) were as follows:


	For the Quarters Ended
	March 31, 2025						March 31, 2024
(In thousands)	Qualified Plans		Non- Qualified Plans		All Plans		Qualified Plans		Non- Qualified Plans		All Plans

Net periodic pension cost/(income)	$	3,136	$	2,942	$	6,078	$	(1,075)	$	3,204	$	2,129

During the first quarters of 2025 and 2024, we made pension contributions of $2.9 million and $3.4 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.

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 $14.4 million and $15.2 million in the first quarters of 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rates were 22.5% and 27.4% for the first quarters of 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease in income tax expense in the first quarter of 2025 was due to a tax benefit in 2025 from stock appreciation on stock-based awards that settled in the quarter, partially offset by an increase in pre-tax income. The decrease in the effective income tax rate compared to the first quarter of 2024 was primarily attributable to a tax benefit from stock-based awards that settled in the first quarter of 2025.

The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development enacted model rules for a new global minimum tax framework, also known as Pillar Two, and certain governments globally have 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 was approximately 1.1 million and 1.0 million in the first quarters of 2025 and 2024, respectively, and 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 first quarters of 2025 and 2024.

NOTE 12. SUPPLEMENTAL STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY INFORMATION

Share Repurchases

The Board of Directors approved Class A share repurchase programs in February 2022 ($150.0 million) and February 2023 ($250.0 million). In February 2025, in addition to the remaining authorizations, the Board of Directors approved a $350.0 million Class A share repurchase program. 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.

As of March 31, 2025, repurchases under these authorizations totaled approximately $293.5 million (excluding commissions and excise taxes), leaving approximately $456.5 million remaining under the 2023 and 2025 authorizations. During the first quarter ended March 31, 2025, repurchases under these authorizations totaled approximately $58.9 million.

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 Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”)) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance; and (iii) it has available discrete financial information.

The Company has two reportable segments: NYTG and The Athletic. These segments are evaluated regularly by the Company’s CODM in assessing performance and allocating resources. Management uses adjusted operating profit (loss) by segment in assessing performance and allocating resources. The Company’s CODM uses adjusted operating profit (loss) by segment to allocate resources during the annual budgeting and forecasting process and to assess the performance of each segment. Adjusted operating profit is defined as operating profit before depreciation and amortization, severance, multiemployer pension plan withdrawal costs and special items. Adjusted operating profit for NYTG and The Athletic is presented below, along with a reconciliation to consolidated income before taxes. Asset information by segment is not a measure of performance used by the Company’s CODM. Accordingly, we have not disclosed asset information by segment.

Subscription revenues from and expenses associated with our digital subscription package (or “bundle”) are allocated to NYTG and The Athletic.

We allocate 10% of all bundle subscription revenues to The Athletic based on management’s view of The Athletic’s relative value to the bundle, which we derived based on analysis of various metrics, and allocate the remaining bundle revenues to NYTG.

We allocate 10% of product development, marketing and subscriber servicing expenses (including direct variable expenses such as credit card fees, third-party fees and sales taxes) associated with the bundle to The Athletic, and the remaining costs are allocated to NYTG, in each case, in line with the revenues allocations.

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 of March 31, 2025, is believed to be reasonably possible.

On December 27, 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. On February 26, 2024, and March 4, 2024, respectively, 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 time-barred. On March 26, 2025, the court dismissed our unfair competition claim and DMCA claims, with leave to replead the latter, but permitted our other disputed claims to go forward. On April 3, 2025, the Judicial Panel for Multidistrict Litigation consolidated our case with 11 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 has 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”), retail commerce and our live events business. 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 quarter of 2025 compared with the first quarter of 2024 as a result of 2024 being a leap year.

The Company has two reportable segments: The New York Times Group (“NYTG”) and The Athletic.

Financial Highlights

•The Company added approximately 250,000 net digital-only subscribers compared with the end of 2024, driven largely by bundle and multiproduct subscriber additions as well as other single products subscriber additions. The Company ended the first quarter of 2025 with approximately 11.66 million subscribers to its print and digital products, including approximately 11.06 million digital-only subscribers. Of the 11.06 million digital-only subscribers, approximately 5.76 million were bundle and multiproduct subscribers. Compared with the end of the first quarter of 2024, there was a net increase of 1,150,000 digital-only subscribers.

•Total digital-only average revenue per user (“ARPU”) increased 3.6% year-over-year to $9.54 driven primarily by subscribers graduating from promotional to higher prices and price increases on tenured non-bundled subscribers.

•Operating profit increased 21.3% to $58.6 million in the first quarter of 2025 from $48.3 million in the first 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 21.9% to $92.7 million in the first quarter of 2025 from $76.1 million in the first quarter of 2024. Operating profit margin (operating profit expressed as a percentage of revenues) increased to 9.2% in the first quarter of 2025, compared with 8.1% in the first 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 14.6% in the first quarter of 2025, compared with 12.8% in the first quarter of 2024.

•Total revenues increased 7.1% to $635.9 million in the first quarter of 2025 from $594.0 million in the first quarter of 2024.

Industry Trends, Economic Conditions, Challenges and Risks

We operate in a highly competitive environment that is subject to rapid change. 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. 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 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 first 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 $35.3 million, or 8.2%, in the first quarter of 2025 compared with the same prior-year period, due to an increase in digital-only subscription revenues of $42.0 million, or 14.4%, partially offset by a decrease in print subscription revenues of $6.8 million, or 5.0%. Digital-only subscription revenues increased primarily due to an increase in bundle and multiproduct revenues of $55.4 million and an increase in other single-product subscription revenues of $6.6 million, partially offset by a decrease in news-only subscription revenues of $20.0 million. Bundle and multiproduct average digital-only subscribers increased 1,230,000, or 28.0%, while bundle and multiproduct ARPU increased $0.59, or 5.0%. Other single-product average digital-only subscribers increased 650,000, or 23.5%, while other single-product ARPU decreased $0.05, or 1.4%. News-only average digital-only subscribers decreased 760,000, or 28.9%, while news-only ARPU increased $1.24, or 11.4%. In calculating average digital-only subscribers for our subscriber categories, we use the monthly average number of digital-only subscribers (calculated as the sum of the number of subscribers in each category at the beginning and end of the month, divided by two). Print subscription revenue decreased primarily due to a decrease in home-delivery subscription revenue, 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 first quarters of 2025 and 2024:

Total subscription revenues	$	464,257	$	429,005	8.2	%

(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 customer who has subscribed (and provided a valid method of payment) for the right to access one or more of the Company’s products. The Company ended the first quarter of 2025 with approximately 11.66 million subscribers to its print and digital products, including approximately 11.06 million digital-only subscribers.

Compared with the end of the fourth quarter of 2024, there was a net increase of 250,000 digital-only subscribers. Compared with the end of the first quarter of 2024, there was a net increase of 1,150,000 digital-only subscribers.

Print domestic home-delivery subscribers totaled approximately 600,000 at the end of the first quarter of 2025, a net decrease of 10,000 subscribers compared with the end of the fourth quarter of 2024 and a net decrease of 50,000 subscribers compared with the end of the first 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:

(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 first quarter of 2025. The number of group subscribers is derived using the value of the relevant contract and a discounted subscription rate.

(3)Subscribers with only a digital-only news product subscription.

(4)Subscribers with only one digital-only subscription to The Athletic or to our Audio, Cooking, Games or Wirecutter products.

(5)Subscribers with digital-only subscriptions to one or more of our news product, The Athletic, or our Audio, Cooking, Games and Wirecutter products.

(6)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
	March 31, 2025		December 31, 2024		September 30, 2024		June 30, 2024		March 31, 2024
Digital-only ARPU:
Bundle and multiproduct	$	12.38	$	12.53	$	12.35	$	11.96	$	11.79
News-only	$	12.12	$	11.95	$	11.48	$	11.26	$	10.88
Other single-product	$	3.54	$	3.58	$	3.59	$	3.65	$	3.59
Total digital-only ARPU	$	9.54	$	9.65	$	9.45	$	9.34	$	9.21

ARPU metrics are calculated by dividing the digital subscription revenue in the quarter by the average number of digital-only subscribers divided by the number of days in the quarter multiplied by 28 to reflect a 28-day billing cycle. In calculating ARPU metrics, for our subscriber categories (Bundle and multiproduct, News-only and Other single-product), we use the monthly average number of digital-only subscribers (calculated as the sum of the number of subscribers in each category at the beginning and end of the month, divided by two) and for Total digital-only ARPU, we use the daily average number of digital-only subscribers.

Total digital-only ARPU was $9.54 for the first quarter of 2025, an increase of 3.6% compared with the first quarter of 2024. The year-over-year increase was driven primarily by subscribers graduating from promotional to higher prices and price increases on tenured non-bundled 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 have 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, currently for a smaller proportion, through programmatic auctions run by third-party ad exchanges. Digital advertising revenue also includes creative services fees. NYTG and The Athletic have revenue from all categories discussed above. Print advertising includes revenue from column-inch ads and classified advertising, as well as preprinted advertising, also known as freestanding inserts. There is no print advertising revenue generated from The Athletic, which does not have a print product.

The following table summarizes digital and print advertising revenues for the first quarters of 2025 and 2024:


	For the Quarters Ended
(In thousands)	March 31, 2025		March 31, 2024		% Change
Digital advertising revenues	$	70,866	$	63,026	12.4	%
Print advertising revenues	37,210		40,685		(8.5)	%
Total advertising revenues	$	108,076	$	103,711	4.2	%

Digital advertising revenues, which represented 65.6% of total advertising revenues in the first quarter of 2025, increased $7.9 million, or 12.4%, to $70.9 million compared with $63.0 million in the same prior-year period. The increase was primarily a result of higher display revenues of $9.9 million, driven by areas of strong marketer demand and new advertising supply, partially offset by lower creative services fees of $2.7 million as a result of the volume of custom advertising campaigns. Display impressions increased 20%, while the average rate increased 2%.

Print advertising revenues, which represented 34.4% of total advertising revenues in the first quarter of 2025, decreased $3.5 million, or 8.5%, to $37.2 million compared with $40.7 million in the same prior-year period. The decrease in the first quarter of 2025 was primarily due to a 7.8% decrease in column-inches. Print advertising revenues in 2025 continue to be impacted by secular trends.

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.

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, retail commerce and our live events business.

Affiliate, licensing and other revenues increased $2.3 million, or 3.7%, in the first quarter of 2025 compared with the same prior-year period, primarily as a result of growth in Wirecutter affiliate referral revenues of $2.3 million, as well as higher content licensing revenues of $0.9 million, primarily related to a commercial agreement with Google and a licensing agreement with Apple.

Digital affiliate, licensing and other revenues, which consist primarily of Wirecutter affiliate referral revenue and digital licensing revenues, totaled $40.1 million and $35.8 million in the first quarters 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 first quarter of 2025 increased $17.8 million, or 5.6%, compared with the same prior-year period. The increase was largely due to higher journalism costs of $9.8 million, higher subscriber servicing costs of $5.9 million and higher digital content delivery costs of $2.4 million. Advertising servicing costs and 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, higher salaries, higher benefits costs and higher incentive compensation. The increase in subscriber servicing costs was largely due to higher third-party commissions due to an increase in subscriptions. The increase in digital content delivery costs was largely due to higher cloud-related costs.

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 first quarter of 2025 increased $0.8 million, or 1.3%, compared with the same prior-year period. The increase was due to higher sales costs of $0.4 million and higher marketing costs of $0.4 million.

Media expenses, a component of sales and marketing costs that primarily represents the cost to promote our subscription business, increased 4.7% to $31.3 million in the first quarter of 2025 from $29.9 million in the first quarter of 2024.

Product Development

Product development includes costs associated with the Company’s investment in developing and enhancing new and existing product technology, including engineering, product development and data insights.

Product development costs in the first quarter of 2025 increased $3.4 million, or 5.3%, compared with the same prior-year period. The increase in the first quarter of 2025 was largely due to higher compensation and benefits expenses of $2.0 million driven by higher benefits costs, as well as higher outside services costs of $0.6 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 first quarter of 2025 increased $1.1 million, or 1.4%, compared with the same prior-year period. The increase was primarily due to higher professional fees of $1.7 million, higher compensation and benefits of $1.4 million, which was driven by higher benefits costs and higher incentive compensation, partially offset by lower severance expense of $1.8 million.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization costs in the first quarter of 2025 increased $0.7 million, or 3.2%, compared with the same prior-year period.

Generative AI Litigation Costs

In the first quarters of 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded $4.4 million and $1.0 million, 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.

Segment Information

We have two reportable segments: NYTG and The Athletic. Management uses adjusted operating profit (loss) by segment in assessing performance and allocating resources. The Company includes in its presentation revenues and adjusted operating costs to arrive at adjusted operating profit (loss) by segment. Adjusted operating costs are defined as operating costs before depreciation and amortization, severance, multiemployer pension plan withdrawal costs and special items. Adjusted operating profit is defined as operating profit before depreciation and amortization, severance, multiemployer pension plan withdrawal costs and special items. Adjusted operating profit expressed as a percentage of revenues is referred to as adjusted operating profit margin.

Subscription revenues from and expenses associated with our bundle are allocated to NYTG and The Athletic.

The New York Times Group

NYTG revenues increased 5.7% in the first quarter of 2025 to $588.9 million from $557.4 million in the first quarter of 2024. Subscription revenues increased 7.5% in the first quarter of 2025 to $431.5 million from $401.4 million in the first quarter of 2024, due to growth in subscription revenues from digital-only products, partially offset by decreases in print subscription revenues. Advertising revenues decreased 0.4% in the first quarter of 2025 to $97.7 million from $98.0 million in the first quarter of 2024 due to lower revenues from print advertising, which more than offset higher revenues from digital advertising. Print advertising decreased primarily as a result of a decrease in column-inches. Digital advertising revenues increased primarily as a result of higher display revenues, partially offset by lower creative services fees. Affiliate, licensing, and other revenues increased 3.0% in the first quarter of 2025 to $59.7 million from $58.0 million in the first quarter of 2024 due to higher Wirecutter affiliate referral revenues.

NYTG adjusted operating costs increased 5.6% in the first quarter of 2025 to $499.1 million from $472.7 million in the first quarter of 2024. The increase in costs in the first quarter of 2025 was primarily related to higher journalism, subscriber servicing, general and administrative, and sales and marketing costs.

NYTG adjusted operating profit increased 6.0% in the first quarter of 2025 to $89.8 million from $84.7 million in the first quarter of 2024. The increase in the first quarter was primarily as a result of higher digital subscription revenues, digital advertising revenues and affiliate, licensing and other revenues, partially offset by higher adjusted operating costs and lower print subscription and print advertising revenues.

The Athletic

The Athletic revenues increased 27.9% in the first quarter of 2025 to $47.6 million from $37.2 million in the first quarter of 2024. Subscription revenues increased 18.5% in the first quarter of 2025 to $32.7 million from $27.6 million in the first quarter of 2024, primarily due to growth in the number of subscribers with access to The Athletic (including through bundle subscriptions). Advertising revenues increased 82.5% in the first quarter of 2025 to $10.4 million from $5.7 million in the first quarter of 2024 due to higher revenues from display advertising. Affiliate, licensing and other revenues increased in the first quarter of 2025 to $4.4 million from $3.8 million in the first quarter of 2024, primarily due to an increase in licensing revenue.

The Athletic adjusted operating costs decreased 2.6% in the first quarter of 2025 to $44.7 million from $45.9 million in the first quarter of 2024. The decrease in costs in the first quarter of 2025 was primarily due to lower sales and marketing and general and administrative costs, partially offset by higher journalism and product development costs.

The Athletic adjusted operating profit increased in the first quarter of 2025 to $2.9 million from a loss of $8.7 million in the first quarter of 2024. The increase in the first quarter of 2025 is primarily due to higher digital subscription revenues, higher digital advertising revenues and lower adjusted operating costs.

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:

•a $4.5 million charge ($3.3 million or $0.02 per share after tax) related to a multiemployer pension plan liability adjustment; and

•$4.4 million of Generative AI Litigation Costs ($3.2 million or $0.02 per share after tax).

The special items in 2024 consisted of:

•$1.0 million of Generative AI Litigation Costs ($0.7 million or $0.0 per share after tax).

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.

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 March 31, 2025, we had cash, cash equivalents and short- and long-term marketable securities of $902.3 million.

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. 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 2022 ($150.0 million), 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. As of March 31, 2025, repurchases under these authorizations totaled approximately $293.5 million (excluding commissions and excise taxes), leaving approximately $456.5 million under the 2023 and 2025 authorizations. During the quarter ended March 31, 2025, repurchases under these authorizations totaled approximately $58.9 million, and we repurchased an additional $13.5 million (excluding commissions and excise taxes) between April 1, 2025 and May 2, 2025, leaving approximately $443.0 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 Quarters Ended
(In thousands)	March 31, 2025		March 31, 2024		% Change
Operating activities	$	99,088	$	53,079	86.7	%
Investing activities	$	(8,340)	$	(66,391)	(87.4)	%
Financing activities	$	(107,269)	$	(68,684)	56.2	%

* 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 quarter of 2025 compared with the same prior-year period primarily due to higher net income 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., partially offset by higher tax payments.

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 quarter of 2025 was primarily related to capital expenditures of $9.2 million and $6.3 million in net purchases of marketable securities.

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 quarter of 2025 was primarily related to share repurchases of $59.0 million, share-based compensation tax withholding payments of $26.2 million and dividend payments of $22.1 million.

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 Quarters Ended
(In thousands)	March 31, 2025		March 31, 2024
Net cash provided by operating activities(1)	$	99,088	$	53,079
Less: Capital expenditures	(9,237)		(6,424)
Free cash flow	$	89,851	$	46,655

(1)Net cash provided by operating activities in the first quarter 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 quarter of 2025 was $89.9 million compared with $46.7 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 $14.6 million of restricted cash as of March 31, 2025, and $13.9 million as of December 31, 2024, substantially all of which is set aside to collateralize workers’ compensation obligations.

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures totaled approximately $8 million and $7 million in the first quarters of 2025 and 2024, respectively. The cash payments related to capital expenditures totaled approximately $9 million and $6 million in the first quarters of 2025 and 2024, respectively.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

On December 27, 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. On February 26, 2024, and March 4, 2024, respectively, 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 time-barred. On March 26, 2025, the court dismissed our unfair competition claim and DMCA claims, with leave to replead the latter, but permitted our other disputed claims to go forward. On April 3, 2025, the Judicial Panel for Multidistrict Litigation consolidated our case with 11 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.
