Executive summary
Second quarter revenue rose 6% year-over-year to $2.36 billion, led by Dow Jones, Digital Real Estate Services, and Book Publishing, with positive foreign currency impact.
Net income from continuing operations was $242 million, down 21% due to the absence of a prior-year gain from REA Group's PropertyGuru sale and higher operating expenses.
Total segment EBITDA increased 9% to $521 million, with adjusted EPS at $0.40, up from $0.33, and reported EPS at $0.34, down from $0.40.
Profitability margin improved to 22.1%, and free cash flow for the six months was $136 million, up from $121 million.
Management highlighted strong momentum in core segments and an expanded buyback program.
Financial highlights
Dow Jones revenue increased 8% to $648 million, with segment EBITDA up 10% to $191 million and a record margin of nearly 30%.
Digital Real Estate segment revenue rose 8% to $511 million, with EBITDA up 11% to $206 million; Realtor.com revenue grew 10% to $143 million.
Book Publishing revenue grew 6% to $633 million, though EBITDA declined 2% due to a $16 million one-time inventory write-off at HarperCollins.
News Media segment revenue was flat at $570 million, with EBITDA down 5% to $70 million, impacted by weak print advertising and California Post launch costs.
Operating expenses rose 5% to $1.01 billion for the quarter, mainly due to higher Book Publishing costs and the inventory write-off.
Outlook and guidance
Management expects favorable trends to continue into the third quarter, with strong performance in Dow Jones, Digital Real Estate, and Book Publishing.
Liquidity needs are expected to be met for at least the next twelve months through cash, operations, and credit markets.
Anticipated continued investments in California Post and ongoing cost efficiency focus in News Media amid challenging ad trends.
Share repurchases expected to increase in the second half, supported by Foxtel loan repayment.
No material changes to risk factors or forward-looking statements were disclosed.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
