Recorded Music revenue comparisons were impacted by $16 million of digital revenue from the settlement of certain copyright infringement cases in the prior-year quarter (the \u201cCopyright Settlement\u201d). Consistent with prior quarters, Recorded Music revenue growth was also unfavorably impacted by the termination of the distribution agreement with BMG (the \u201cBMG Termination\u201d), which resulted in $10 million less Recorded Music digital revenue compared to the prior-year quarter. Excluding these items, total revenue increased 12.1% (or 11.0% in constant currency).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Digital revenue was up 10.5% (or 9.1% in constant currency) and streaming revenue was up 12.3% (or 10.8% in constant currency). Adjusted for the $16 million impact of the Copyright Settlement and the $10 million impact of the BMG Termination compared to the prior-year quarter, digital revenue increased 13.1% (or 11.6% in constant currency), and adjusted for the $10 million impact of the BMG Termination compared to the prior-year quarter, streaming revenue increased 13.3% (or 11.8% in constant currency). Recorded Music streaming revenue increased 11.8% (or 10.1% in constant currency); however, adjusted for the $10 million impact of the BMG Termination compared to the prior-year quarter, Recorded Music streaming revenue was up 13.1% (or 11.3% in constant currency). Music Publishing streaming revenue increased 14.4% (or 13.8% in constant currency). The increase in total revenue was also driven by higher Recorded Music artist services and expanded-rights and physical revenue, and growth across Music Publishing synchronization, mechanical and performance revenue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Operating income increased 80.5% (or 75.3% in constant currency) to $305 million from $169 million in the prior-year quarter, primarily due to the factors affecting Adjusted OIBDA discussed below, as well as a decrease in restructuring and impairment charges of $62 million, partially offset by higher amortization expense of $11 million.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Adjusted OIBDA increased 16.1% (or 14.6% in constant currency) to $433 million from $373 million and Adjusted OIBDA margin increased 1.1 percentage points to 23.2% from 22.1% in the prior-year quarter (or 1.0 percentage point from 22.2% in constant currency). The increases include the $9 million impact of the Copyright Settlement and the $1 million impact of the BMG Termination compared to the prior-year quarter. Excluding these items, Adjusted OIBDA increased 19.3% (or 17.7% in constant currency) and Adjusted OIBDA margin increased 1.4 percentage points to 23.2% from 21.8% (or 1.3 percentage points from 21.9% in constant currency). The increases in Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA margin were primarily driven by strong operating performance, revenue mix and savings from the Company\u2019s restructuring plans, a portion of which has been reinvested into the Company\u2019s business, partially offset by unfavorable movements in foreign currency exchange rates of approximately $16 million.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Net income was $200 million compared to a loss of $16 million in the prior-year quarter. The change in net income was due to the impact of exchange rates on the Company\u2019s Euro-denominated debt resulting in a $3 million gain in the quarter compared to a $70 million loss in the prior-year quarter and a currency exchange loss on intercompany loans of $1 million in the quarter compared to a $63 million loss in the prior-year quarter, partially offset by realized and unrealized losses on hedging activity of $1 million in the quarter compared to $8 million in the prior-year quarter. The change in net income was also driven by an impairment charge of $70 million for long-lived assets associated with EMP in the prior-year quarter. The increase in net income was partially offset by a $62 million increase in income tax expense, primarily due to an increase in pre-tax income in the quarter and a $20 million smaller benefit from EMP impairment in the quarter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Basic earnings per share was $0.39 for both the Class A and Class B shareholders due to the net income attributable to the Company in the quarter of $200 million. Diluted earnings per share was $0.38 for Class A shareholders and $0.39 for Class B shareholders due to the net income attributable to the Company in the quarter of $200 million.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">As of June 30, 2026, the Company reported a cash balance of $618 million, total debt of $4.710 billion and net debt (defined as total debt, net of deferred financing costs, premiums and discounts, minus cash and equivalents) of $4.092 billion. Total debt includes $303 million of subsidiary debt acquired in the Company\u2019s acquisition of Tempo Music Holdings, LLC (\u201cTempo Music\u201d) and $363 million in loans outstanding under the Beethoven JV. This debt is secured only by certain music rights owned by Tempo Music and the Beethoven JV, respectively, and is nonrecourse to the Company and its subsidiaries, other than Tempo Music and the Beethoven JV, respectively.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Cash provided by operating activities increased $96 million, or 209%, to $142 million in the quarter compared to $46 million in the prior-year quarter. The increase was largely a result of strong operating performance. Free Cash Flow, as defined below, increased to $114 million from $7 million in the prior-year quarter, primarily due to the factors affecting cash provided by operating activities described above and due to a decrease in capital expenditures of $11 million, or 28%, to $28 million from $39 million in the prior-year quarter, primarily driven by lower investments in technology and costs associated with our finance transformation initiative.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Recorded Music<\/strong> revenue was up 9.9% (or 8.9% in constant currency) driven by increases across digital, artist services and expanded-rights and physical revenue. Licensing revenue remained constant with the prior-year quarter (or decreased 0.9% in constant currency). Excluding the $16 million impact of the Copyright Settlement and the $10 million impact of the BMG Termination compared to the prior-year quarter, Recorded Music revenue was up 12.0% (or 11.0% in constant currency). Digital revenue was up 9.4% (or 7.7% in constant currency) and streaming revenue was up 11.8% (or 10.1% in constant currency). Adjusted for the $16 million impact of the Copyright Settlement and the $10 million impact of the BMG Termination compared to the prior-year quarter, Recorded Music digital revenue was up 12.5% (or 10.8% in constant currency). Adjusted for the $10 million impact of the BMG Termination compared to the prior-year quarter, streaming revenue was up 13.1% (or 11.3% in constant currency). Streaming revenue reflects growth in subscription revenue of 12.5% (or 10.8% in constant currency) and in ad-supported revenue of 10.0% (or 8.0% in constant currency). Subscription revenue, adjusted for the $6 million impact of the BMG Termination compared to the prior-year quarter, was up 13.5% (or 11.8% in constant currency). Ad-supported revenue, adjusted for the $4 million impact of the BMG Termination compared to the prior-year quarter, was up 12.0% (or 10.0% in constant currency). The increase in subscription revenue reflects positive market share trends, subscriber growth and improved deal economics. The increase in ad-supported revenue reflects strong performance in the quarter, as well as improved deal economics. Artist services and expanded-rights revenue was up 14.9% (the same in constant currency) due to higher concert promotion revenue primarily in Japan and higher merchandising revenue. Physical revenue increased 15.1% (or 17.1% in constant currency) primarily driven by strong releases in the quarter as well as catalog and carryover success. Top sellers in the quarter included Bruno Mars, Don Toliver, sombr, Alex Warren and Madonna.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Recorded Music operating income increased 62.2% (or 58.3% in constant currency) to $326 million from $201 million in the prior-year quarter, and operating margin was up 7.1 percentage points to 21.9% versus 14.8% in the prior-year quarter (or up 6.8 percentage points from 15.1% in constant currency). The increase in operating income and operating income margin was driven by the factors affecting Adjusted OIBDA discussed below, as well as decreases in restructuring and impairment charges of $63 million and depreciation expense of $4 million primarily relating to EMP, partially offset by higher amortization expense of $10 million attributable to acquisitions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Adjusted OIBDA increased 17.4% (or 15.6% in constant currency) to $377 million from $321 million and Adjusted OIBDA margin increased 1.6 percentage points to 25.3% from 23.7% in the prior-year quarter (or increased 1.5 percentage points from 23.8% in constant currency). The increases include the $9 million impact of the Copyright Settlement and the $1 million impact of the BMG Termination. Excluding these items, Adjusted OIBDA increased 21.2% (or 19.3% in constant currency) and Adjusted OIBDA margin increased 1.9 percentage points to 25.3% from 23.4% (or 1.7 percentage points from 23.6% in constant currency). The increases in Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA margin were primarily driven by revenue growth and strong operating performance, and savings from the Company\u2019s restructuring plans, of which a portion has been reinvested in the Company\u2019s business, partially offset by unfavorable movements in foreign currency exchange rates of approximately $12 million.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Music Publishing revenue<\/strong> was up 12.2% (or 10.9% in constant currency) driven by growth across digital, synchronization, mechanical and performance revenue. Digital revenue increased 15.2% (the same in constant currency) and streaming revenue increased 14.4% (or 13.8% in constant currency) driven by continued market growth and the impact of new deals and renewals. Synchronization revenue increased 11.1% (or 7.1% in constant currency) primarily due to an increase in other copyright infringement settlements and mechanical revenue increased 18.8% (the same in constant currency) driven by the timing of distributions. Performance revenue increased 1.7% (or decreased 1.7% in constant currency).<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Music Publishing operating income was up 18.3% (or 16.4% in constant currency) to $71 million from $60 million in the prior-year quarter and operating margin increased 0.9 percentage points to 18.8% from 17.9% in the prior-year quarter (the same in constant currency). The increases in operating income and operating margin were driven by the same factors affecting Adjusted OIBDA discussed below.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Music Publishing Adjusted OIBDA increased 13.5% (the same in constant currency) to $109 million from $96 million in the prior-year quarter. Adjusted OIBDA margin increased 0.3 percentage points to 28.9% from 28.6% in the prior-year quarter (or 0.7 percentage points from 28.2% in constant currency). The increases in Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA margin were primarily driven by revenue growth and strong operating performance, partially offset by unfavorable movements in foreign currency exchange rates of approximately $5 million.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2\" style=\"margin: 8px auto; text-align: center; display: block; clear: both;\">\n<a title=\"Hip-Hop hats, buckets, snapbacks, beanies.\" href=\"https:\/\/rapindustry.com\/shop\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-64516 size-full\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/rapindustry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/hip-hop-hats.jpg\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-64516 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/rapindustry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/hip-hop-hats.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Recent Announcements<br \/><\/strong>In addition, the Company also announced today that its Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 per share on the Company\u2019s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock.
