Hello, everyone, and welcome to News Corp's fiscal fourth quarter 2026 earnings call. We issued our earnings press release about 30 minutes ago, and it's now posted on our website at newscorp.com. Additionally, this call will include certain non-GAAP financial measurements such as total segment EBITDA, adjusted segment EBITDA, and adjusted EPS. The definitions and GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliations of such measures can be found in the earnings releases for the applicable periods posted on our website.
Reported EPS for the quarter was $0.33 compared to $0.09 in the prior year, and adjusted EPS was $0.35 compared to $0.19. These results mean that we have posted 12 consecutive quarters of year-on-year revenue growth and 13 consecutive quarters of year-on-year total segment EBITDA growth on a continuing operations basis. That positive trajectory reflects our transformation to a company that is majority digital and has vastly expanded its portfolio of premium recurring revenues. The robustness of our strategy has allowed us to navigate tech and economic and political turbulence, and given us a firm foundation for future growth.
For the full year, annual revenues rose 7% to $9 billion, and total segment EBITDA increased 15% to over $1.6 billion. It is particularly noteworthy that our margin for the fiscal year rose from 16.7% to 18%, and we are encouraged by the prospect of further margin expansion in the current fiscal year. That stronger cash position enabled us to aggressively return capital to shareholders, with the buyback accelerating to well over four times the prior year's rate at $643 million for the fiscal year. Dow Jones delivered impressive results to close the year, with fourth quarter revenues rising 7% to $644 million, and EBITDA growth of 20% to $191 million.
