  Lachlan Murdoch: Thank you, Gabby, and thank you, all for joining us this morning. Against the backdrop of an active news cycle and another robust fall sports schedule, our fiscal second quarter again illustrated the strength of Fox. The growth we delivered in affiliate fee revenues was the standout this quarter, with the Television segment growing by 10% and the Cable segment returning to growth, once again demonstrating the power of our brands and our programming. We now largely completed our fiscal 2024 affiliate renewal cycle, having achieved our commercial goals without disruption and setting a solid foundation for renewals in fiscal 2025 and beyond. As expected, advertising revenues in the quarter were down, primarily due to comparisons to last year's major cyclical events, including the mid-term elections at the TV stations and the broadcast of the Men's World Cup in the Cable and Television segments. Parsing through the cyclical comparisons, our concentration in News and Sports coupled with the outstanding performance at Tubi is clearly an advantage in a mixed advertising environment. More specifically, sports advertising was very healthy during the quarter and we saw particularly strong demand for the NFL and College Football, which continued into the NFL playoffs. At News, the second quarter was more nuanced, while preemptions and the direct response market adversely impacted quarterly growth, we sequentially narrowed the gap between the current and prior year in ratings and in pricing. We were also able to increase our viewing share over the previous quarter, and the positive trends in share ratings and pricing have carried over into the current quarter. Last week, I visited our bureau in Jerusalem, met with our talented and dedicated staff there, and saw firsthand the devastation wrought by Hamas on October 7. Our hearts, our thoughts and our prayers go out to the victims of that day, the innocents killed in Israel, and in Gaza, and the hostages still denied the embrace of their families and loved ones. The work our correspondents, our camera people and our producers do reporting on these events is important, outstanding, and deeply appreciated. Now, on to Sports, in calendar 2023, 96 of the year's 100 most watched telecasts were live sports. Fox was responsible for 29 of the year's 100 most watched shows, more than any other network. This marks the fifth straight year that Fox has topped the industry in live sports viewing and demonstrates the unparalleled reach and engagement our content achieves. The 30th NFL regular season on Fox concluded with an average of 19 million viewers across all games, with America's game of the week averaging 25 million viewers, an eight-year high. And Fox NFL Sunday logged its 30th straight year as the number one NFL pre-game show. That strength continued into the post-season, with Fox's three post-season windows delivering a best ever playoff average of almost 45 million viewers across the wildcard, divisional, and championship games. In digital, we saw strong engagement at Tubi, which finished with a very impressive 62% growth in total view time and 17% growth in revenue. Tubi's library of over 240,000 movies and TV episodes coupled with ubiquitous distribution drove engagement, helping Tubi reach 78 million monthly active users, log almost 2.5 billion streaming hours in the quarter and set a new monthly record of 855 million total viewing hours in December alone. Tubi has consolidated its position in the streaming landscape, ranking as the most watched free TV and movie streaming service in the United States, according to Nielsen, and surpassing Peacock, Max, Paramount Plus, and Pluto TV in view time for seven consecutive months. At FOX Entertainment, the second quarter saw programming strength, with Fox having the season's number one new broadcast entertainment series in Krapopolis, hats off to Dan Harmon, the number one new game show debut in Snake Oil and the number one cooking series in Hell's Kitchen. We're also pleased with the very strong start of our mid-season lineup and the early success of We Are Family and The Floor. Before I hand over to Steve, I'll comment on the sports platform we announced last night between Fox, Disney and Warner Bros. Discovery. This new and unique digital distribution platform is focused on sports fans outside of existing paid TV offerings. Upon launch in the fall of 2024, the platform will offer a broad suite of sports, including those from a combined 14 linear networks that broadcast sports today. The inclusion of our networks in the platform is consistent with our strategy, being proudly consumer first and distribution agnostic. Across the distribution ecosystem, our traditional Pay TV market will remain our dominant customer base for some time to come. As such, we remain committed to our existing distribution partners, where our strong portfolio of leadership Sports, News and Entertainment brands thrive in their bundled offerings. This unique new platform opens up a new market for us, one that we at Fox have not accessed before and that we're excited to participate in. As always, we are focused on delivering value for our shareholders in a thoughtful and disciplined manner, and we will continue to explore every opportunity to maximize that value over the long-term. Let me now turn it over to Steve for his comments on the quarter's financial results.

  Steve Tomsic: Thanks, Lachlan, and good morning, everyone. With the vast majority of our fiscal 2024 affiliate renewals now successfully completed, Fox delivered 4% growth in total company affiliate fee revenues, led by 10% growth at Television and a return to growth at Cable. This growth reflects the must have nature of our content and the value that our distribution partners place on it. Consistent with our expectations regarding event cycles, advertising revenues this quarter were impacted by the absence of the FIFA Men's World Cup at FOX Sports and mid-term political revenues at the local television stations, along with lower advertising revenue at FOX News Media. Collectively, these factors contributed to a 20% decline in total company advertising revenues. Total company other revenues grew by 14%, driven by higher sports sublicensing revenues. All in Fox reported total company revenues of $4.23 billion, down 8% from the prior year. Total company expenses decreased 5% over the prior year, primarily due to the absence of the Men's World Cup at FOX Sports and fewer hours of original scripted programming at FOX Entertainment due to the strikes. However, this was partially offset by the first year step up under our new NFL rights agreement. Quarterly adjusted EBITDA was $350 million as compared to the $531 million reported in the prior year quarter. Net income attributable to stockholders of $109 million or $0.23 per share, compared to the $313 million or $0.58 per share reported in the prior year period, largely due to the EBITDA impact I just mentioned, along with the net changes in the fair value of the company's investments recognized in other net. Our effective tax rate for the quarter came in at 12%, reflecting a one-off remeasurement of our deferred tax assets as a result of changes in state tax laws. Excluding this impact on other non-core items, adjusted EPS was $0.34 per share versus last year's $0.48. Turning to our segments, starting with Cable, which reported 2% growth in total quarterly revenues. Cable affiliate fee revenues increased by $5 million with growth in pricing from our distribution renewals, outpacing the impact from industry subscriber declines running at approximately 8%. Cable other revenues increased $124 million, largely driven by higher sports sublicensing revenues associated with our college sports and international soccer agreements. This growth in affiliate and other revenues was partially offset by a 23% decline in Cable advertising revenues. At FOX News Media, advertising revenues were impacted by a softer direct response marketplace, low comparative ratings, and higher levels of preemptions due to our breaking news coverage of global events. Meanwhile, at the national sports networks, we measured against last year's broadcast of the Men's World Cup. Expenses at the Cable segment were 14% lower than the prior year, with savings mainly gained from the absence of the Men's World Cup, as well as lower legal programming and production costs of FOX News Media. Taking all these factors into account, quarterly adjusted EBITDA at the Cable segment grew 60% over the prior year quarter. Moving to our Television segment, which reported total quarterly revenues of $2.54 billion, down 13% from the prior year. The TV segment reported strong 10% growth in affiliate fee revenues as price increases across all Fox affiliated stations more than offset the impact from industry subscriber declines. TV advertising revenues were down 19%. The solid growth of Tubi was more than offset by comparisons with last year's cycle of major events, including the FIFA Men's World Cup and mid-term political revenues, as well as the relative mix of World Series matchups and game counts. Also at TV, revenue from our entertainment production companies was impacted by the SAG and WGA related disputes. This contributed to a $64 million decline in TV other revenues, most of which was offset by a commensurate reduction in expenses. Overall expenses at the TV segment remained flat as higher costs under the NFL agreement and a modest increase in investment at Tubi were offset by lower costs from the absence of the Men's World Cup, lower college sports rights costs, and fewer hours of original scripted content due to the strikes. Together, these revenue and expense impacts led to a quarterly adjusted EBITDA loss of $138 million to our TV segment, compared to an EBITDA contribution of $256 million reported in the prior year quarter. Turning to free cash flow, where we recorded a deficit of $615 million this quarter. This is consistent with the normal seasonality of our working capital cycle, where the first half of our fiscal year reflects the concentration of payments for sports rights and the buildup of advertising related receivables. In terms of capital allocation, fiscal year-to-date, we have repurchased an additional $550 million through our share buyback program, bringing the total cumulative amount repurchased to $5.15 billion, or 25% of our total shares outstanding since the launch of the program in 2019. In addition, today we announced a $0.26 per share semiannual dividend. These capital return measures are supported by our robust balance sheet, where we ended the quarter with $4.1 billion in cash and $8.4 billion in debt. These balances are before taking into account the repayment of our $1.25 billion note in late January. With that, I'll turn the call back over to Gabby to open up the Q&A.

  加布里埃尔·布朗:谢谢你,史蒂夫。现在,我们很乐意回答投资界的问题。

  接线员:[接线员说明]。Morgan Stanley的Ben Swinburne提出了一个问题。请继续。

  本·斯威本:早上好。拉克伦,很明显,新闻里的大新闻,体育合资企业。我很想听听你们的想法,关于这个产品和两个领域的机会。首先,你们认为这样的产品在美国有什么机会?显然,我们都专注于剪线式的TAM,但你认为有多少人对这样的产品感兴趣?你觉得福克斯新闻有什么风险吗,这是你们第一次只提供福克斯广播的产品。那么当你考虑将公司整合在一起时,你是如何平衡这些的?非常感谢。

  拉克兰·默多克:嘿,非常感谢你,本,早上好。所以机会是巨大的。这真的是因为这个专注于运动的平台完全专注于有线电视,而不是有线电视切割机,但从来没有。所以如果你看看美国市场,大约有1.25亿美国家庭,其中大约一半没有使用传统的捆绑有线电视生态系统。所以这个产品的目标是,我认为,当你看到它的推出时,它将是一个令人难以置信的创新,它的真正目标是,目前没有参与捆绑有线电视和付费电视生态系统的6000多万户家庭。所以我们认为这是一个巨大的机会。我们已经为它工作了;我认为今早的报道几个月来都相当准确。我很幸运,我已经看到了这个服务的一些原型。同样,它是唯一的。当你看到它的推出时,我认为它非常具有创新性。就风险而言,尤其是对福克斯新闻来说,我认为风险非常低,这是因为体育产品的重点从来没有放在有线电视上。福克斯新闻仍然是收视率最高的有线电视网络。我们的分销商和合作伙伴非常重视这个频道和这个品牌,因为它确实为他们带来了巨大的收视率和观众,我们认为我们将继续在传统的有线电视和付费电视捆绑销售中这样做。谢谢你,本。

  接线员,请回答下一个问题。

  接线员:我们和MoffettNathanson一起去找Robert Fishman。请继续。

  Robert Fishman:大家早上好。继续关注体育新闻,所以我们一直在和你讨论福克斯对体育主导的瘦捆绑的好处。所以我想知道,您是否可以分享一下推动这笔交易的其他背景,包括您最近在会员费用续订中加入的任何灵活性?还有一个相关的问题,我们是否会看到你在未来体育版权谈判方面的任何改变,以及你想分享的关于Netflix(纳斯达克股票代码:)和WWE交易的任何评论,这些评论可能会影响这些谈判的进行。谢谢你!

  拉克兰·默多克:好吧,让我从后往前开始,罗伯特。所以这对Netflix和WWE的交易完全没有影响。所以我不认为这是一个因素。事实上,在我们如何处理我们的体育版权组合方面,我们将在体育市场上积极竞争体育版权,这一点没有任何改变。福克斯体育的主要业务和价值是争夺传统有线电视和付费电视捆绑服务的每一个订户,以及广告商观众和最终的广告商。因此,体育仍然是一个竞争激烈的行业,坦率地说,我们在其中蓬勃发展,我们没有看到任何不同。是什么导致了这一切?现在,我想我们已经回答了很多关于我们什么时候准备推出这样的流媒体服务的问题,我们将会这样做。显然,我们多年来一直在监测这个领域,尤其是过去几年。当我们和我们的合作伙伴一起开发非常独特和创新的产品时,我们觉得现在是时候把这种产品真正推向一个新市场了,对吗?这是一个新的市场,在这个市场中,没有任何产品是在有线电视或电视捆绑包之外为体育迷服务的。因此,对我们来说,它进入了一个全新的市场,真正推动了大量我们以前没有服务过的新市场。

  接线员,请回答下一个问题。

  接线员:下一位是瑞银集团的约翰·霍杜利克。请继续。

  John Hodulik:很好。谢谢你!首先,就体育电视而言,只要有现金捐助,或者你能估计一下福克斯需要多少现金捐助吗?然后转向广告,很明显,有很多因素影响了这个季度的数据。在我们展望下个季度的时候,你们有一些积极的色彩。我想说的是,在电视方面,你现在看到的是政治方面的情况,然后随着收视率的提高和年复一年的进步,你看到的差距正在缩小,我们是否可以假设23%的有线电视是最糟糕的数字,任何颜色的改善都是我们应该在今年看到的?谢谢。

  拉克兰·默多克:我忘了,请原谅。好的,所以(听不清)广告和有线电视

  加布里埃尔·布朗:有线电视广告。

  拉克兰·默多克:有线电视广告。

  John Hodulik: Gabrielle,你说对了。

  拉克兰·默多克:这之后,我们不需要再问任何问题了。我们将涵盖整个范围。谢谢你,约翰。现金方面,我会让史蒂夫来填补。但很明显,这种业务有营销和其他与合伙经营业务相关的成本。但随着业务的增长,我们也会通过网络的联属费获得收入。但我会让史蒂夫负责细节。

  Steve Tomsic:是的。所以约翰,我认为现在对我们来说给出一些关于合资公司的贡献或赤字的预测还为时过早,但是当我们看到它的时候,当你考虑到我们将作为收入收取的附属费用与我们需要为合资公司提供的任何资金时,从净净的角度来看,它对我们来说是增加的。我们认为,从福克斯的角度来看,它会迅速增长。

  拉克兰·默多克:然后,在广告方面,我认为广告的前景是,正如我提到的新闻,但你可以把这个词应用到整个市场。在我们看来,这是微妙的。如果我从体育说起,从广告的角度来看,我们有一个非常稳定的NFL常规赛赛季,我认为NFL季后赛更强,我们非常高兴,但这也是一个较小的收入线。但是我们有一个非常棒的大学橄榄球赛季,真的,我认为去年秋天的故事真的是大学橄榄球的力量,特别是作为广告商,你在某种程度上建立并欣赏观看大学橄榄球的观众的质量。接下来,如果我们向前看,很明显,我们有DAYTONA 500,然后在三月开始常规赛。广告客户在这方面有很多积极的势头。福克斯新闻,你在虚拟现实定价方面有积极的趋势。直接响应价格仍然较低,但当你开始与去年进行比较时,它确实改善了很多。我们在选举和不幸的战争报道中受到了先发制人的影响。因此,先发制人的做法正在产生影响,评级也在继续提高。所以我们对福克斯新闻的现状感到满意,因为所有这些趋势都在稳步改善。地方电视台可能是最复杂的。但你有一个不好的比较,特别是在目前的排名与去年这个时候的超级碗竞争。去年这个时候,仅在电视台的收入中,超级碗的收入就可能达到5000万美元。因此,在我们前进的过程中,比较是相当困难的,但我们仍然相信,我们将看到一个创纪录的政治周期。我认为,由于缺乏竞争激烈的初选,这在当前季度略有改善,但我们已经看到,从政治角度来看,明年上半年的业务开始流入。很明显,这是很自然的,因为我们的电视台,我们在主要的政治市场有很多电视台,比如乔治亚州、密歇根州、宾夕法尼亚州、亚利桑那州和威斯康星州。因此,我们非常有信心,一旦这一切真正开始,将会出现一个非常强劲的政治周期。最后是Tubi。Tubi的TBT还在继续增长,我想是62%,63%。很明显,随着技术性贸易壁垒的增长,收入也随之增长,收入增长比去年略有减少。但在这种流媒体环境下,我们对它的增长感到非常高兴。在广告方面,分散定价高于前期定价,这是积极的。最后,在有线电视附属用户和收费方面,我们所处的环境是,我想我们曾说过,有线电视的侵蚀率大约是8%,但我们的有线电视附属费用在本季度有所增长。因此,我认为这确实显示了我们的品牌和节目在有线电视领域的实力。所以我们对此非常满意。谢谢你,约翰。

  加布里埃尔·布朗:接线员,请回答下一个问题。

  接线员:我是美国银行证券公司的杰西卡·赖夫·埃利希。请继续。

  Jessica Reif Ehrlich:谢谢。回到体育平台,拉克兰,你似乎很有信心它不会影响付费电视捆绑业务,也就是说,我只是想给它加点颜色,因为体育一直是把它维系在一起的粘合剂。那么,为什么你如此自信,认为它不会影响这一点呢?然后是对广告合作伙伴的开放程度,是否会有一个独立的广告组织?广告将如何在你的内容中发挥作用?

  拉克兰·默多克:嗨,杰西卡,顺便说一下,首先,它是如何影响整个付费电视捆绑包的,再说一遍,关键市场,我们将推动的市场是体育迷之外的市场,他们目前处于传统付费电视捆绑包之外,有数千万这样的市场。因此,我们非常有信心,这是一个巨大的市场,也是一个巨大的机会,我们可以在不破坏传统捆绑销售的情况下解决这个问题。很明显,我们已经研究了好几个月了。我们做了很多敏感性分析,如果我们认为这款产品会对付费电视合作伙伴产生重大影响,我们就不会推出这款产品,这对我们来说非常重要。我认为,我们仍然是传统付费电视套餐的最大支持者。我们认为,对于想要以可承受的价格获得所有内容的消费者来说,付费电视捆绑包具有巨大的价值。大捆绑仍然是获得节目和品牌的最佳方式。因此,我们有信心,这个产品将是附加的,将为我们带来更多的用户,而不会对传统的捆绑销售产生重大影响。对于增加合作伙伴的开放性,这不是我们现阶段考虑的事情。我们认为,这项服务提供的14个线性网络为人们提供了大量的内容,包括ABC分支机构、福克斯分支机构、ESPN、ESPN2、ESPN新闻、SEC网络、福克斯分支机构、福克斯体育1和2、Big Ten网络、TNT、TBS等。这是一个巨大的服务,涵盖了这个国家的大多数主要运动:NFL、NBA、WNBA、美国职业棒球大联盟、NHL等等,还有大学,当然还有纳斯卡赛车等等。所以我们认为这是一个非常强大的产品,在这个阶段,我们不考虑增加合作伙伴。杰西卡的第三个问题是关于广告收入的。广告收入将通过这个渠道流入,因此我们在线性网络上的广告将流入这项服务,这将增加我们对市场的接触,这是以前从未见过的广告商与这些客户接触。所以我们认为这是一个正数。谢谢你,杰西卡。

  加布里埃尔·布朗:接线员,我们还有时间再提一个问题。

  接线员:很好。这将来自古根海姆的迈克尔·莫里斯。请继续。

  Michael Morris:嗨,早上好。谢谢大家。所以我想问一下本季度的两个优势领域。第一个关于体育转播权的。你能分享更多的细节吗,它是如何影响盈利能力的,以及如何考虑这是否是一个经常性收入和利润来源?我的第二个问题是关于附属加速,这很好。我们知道,剪脐带的速度将对这个数字产生影响。这很难预测。但单从定价和你刚刚开创的先例来看,我们是否应该把这看作是价格持续走强的第一季度?你认为我们应该期待多久,你可以继续看到这种增长是由这些新的合同关系推动的?谢谢你!

  拉克兰·默多克:我认为史蒂夫先问一个简单的问题,然后你再问第二个问题,这很不公平。不管怎样,早上好,Michael。我先让史蒂夫谈谈体育转授许可的问题。

  史蒂夫:嘿,迈克。我们在有线电视部分的体育转播权收入。因此,我们通过各种大学体育资产和国际足球版权获得体育转播权收入。其中一些权利带有一些基于变量的经济学,我们在本季度看到了这一点。我想你应该把这看成是一次性的。在未来的几个季度、几年里,这种情况不会重演。如果你想把它具体化,那么本季度和去年上一季度之间有线电视其他收入的增长规模,可以很好地说明我们从这些转授权安排中获得的净收益。

  拉克兰·默多克:那么在联盟收入加速方面,我认为——如果你从两个方面来看,我们能维持下去吗?我们现在已经完成了本周期内所有将影响本财政年度剩余时间的分发或续签。因此,没有更多的续约谈判将影响本财政年度。很明显,我们将在本财政年度结束后进行更新。如果你看一下8%左右的潜在下降率,这又回到了约翰的问题,如果我们看一下9月和10月的8%,它比8%要好。它稍微好了一点。然后,我们认为这是秋季足球和体育节目收视的影响。但10月之后,当你进入11月和12月时,利率回升,下降回到8%的基线。所以在不久的将来,我们不会看到这种情况发生变化。这其中有一些周期性。但我认为8%这个数字是我们假设的一部分。有了这些,我们相信,就像我们去年所取得的成就一样,我们已经更新了超过三分之一的分销,我们已经能够实现利率的提高,弥补了这些下降。这是因为我们品牌的实力,我们节目的实力,以及他们所处的位置,我们有一种专注于一些核心品牌的战略,这些品牌对分销商和他们的客户至关重要,这些品牌将能够保持类似的变化速度。谢谢你,迈克。

  加布里埃尔·布朗:现在,我们没有时间了,但如果你有任何进一步的问题,请给我或丹·凯里打电话。再次感谢您参加今天的电话会议。

  Steve Tomsic:谢谢。

  拉克兰·默多克:谢谢大家。祝你过得愉快。

  接线员:女士们,先生们,今天的电话会议到此结束。感谢您使用AT&T高管电话会议。您现在可以断开连接。
