Commitments and Contingent Liabilities Restricted Cash We were required to maintain $15.0 million and $14.4 million of restricted cash as of December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively, the majority of which is set aside to collateralize workers compensation obligations. 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 December 31, 2025, is believed to be reasonably possible. 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, 20 …

Stock-Based Awards As of December 31, 2025, the Company was authorized to grant stock-based compensation under its 2020 Incentive Compensation Plan (the 2020 Incentive Plan), which became effective April 22, 2020. The 2020 Incentive Plan replaced the 2010 Incentive Compensation Plan (the 2010 Incentive Plan). The Companys long-term incentive compensation program provides executives and certain employees the opportunity to earn shares of Class A Common Stock at the end of three-year performance cycles based in part on the achievement of financial goals tied to financial metrics and in part on stock price performance relative to companies in the Standard & Poors 500 Stock Index. In addition, the Company grants time-vested restricted stock units annually to executives and a number of employees. These are settled in shares of Class A Common Stock. Each non-employee director of the Company receives an annual grant of restricted stock units under the 2020 Incentive Plan. Restricted stock units are awarded on the date of the annual meeting of stockholders and vest on the date of the subsequent years annual meeting, with the shares to be delivered upon a directors cessation of membership on the Board of Directors. Each non-employee director is credited with additional restricted stock units with a value equal to the amount of all dividends paid on the Companys Class A Common Stock. The Companys directors are considered employees for purposes of stock-based compensation. We recogn …

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. 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 updated our discussion of digital advertising revenue and no longer distinguish between core and other digital advertising. Digital advertising includes revenue from display (which includes website and mobile applications), audio, email and video advertisements that are sold either directly to marketers by our advertising sales teams or, for a smaller proportion of advertising revenue, through programmatic auctions run by third-party ad exchanges. Digital advertising revenue also includes revenues generated by creative services …

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 Companys President and Chief Executive Officer (who is the Companys CODM) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance; and (iii) it has available discrete financial information. In the third quarter of 2025, the Company revised its operating segments to align with how the CODM manages the business, and as a result, the Company has determined it has one reportable segment. The segment is evaluated regularly on a consolidated basis by the Companys CODM in assessing performance and allocating resources. The Companys CODM uses adjusted operating profit (loss) to allocate resources during the annual budgeting and forecasting process and to assess the Companys performance. Adjusted operating profit is defined as operating profit before depreciation and amortization, severance, multiemployer pension plan withdrawal costs and special items. Adjusted operating profit is presented below, along with a reconciliation to income before taxes. Asset information is not a measure of performance used by the Companys CODM. Accordingly, we have not disclosed asset information. The following table presents segment information with respect to the Companys single operating segment for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025, …

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Cash and Cash Equivalents We consider all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. We classify amounts in transit from credit and debit payment processors as cash and cash equivalents on our consolidated balance sheets. Marketable Securities We have investments in marketable debt securities. We determine the appropriate classification of our investments at the date of purchase and reevaluate the classifications at the balance sheet date. Marketable debt securities with maturities of 12 months or less are classified as short-term. Marketable debt securities with maturities greater than 12 months are classified as long-term, unless we identified specific securities we intend to sell within the next 12 months. The Companys marketable securities are accounted for as available for sale (AFS). AFS securities are reported at fair value. We assess AFS securities on a quarterly basis or more often if a potential loss-triggering event occurs. For AFS securities in an unrealized loss position, we first assess whether we intend to sell, or if it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell, the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the securitys amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through income. For AFS securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, we evalu …

INCOME TAXES The effective income tax rate for the second quarter of 2026 was 25.4% compared with 25.7% in the second quarter of 2025. The Company recorded $31.8 million and $28.7 million of income tax expense in the second quarters of 2026 and 2025, respectively. The effective income tax rate for the first six months of 2026 was 18.9% compared with 24.6% in the first six months of 2025. The Company recorded $42.2 million and $43.1 million of income tax expense in the first six months of 2026 and 2025, respectively. The effective income tax rates for the second quarters of 2026 and 2025 were higher than the federal statutory tax rate primarily due to state and local income taxes, partially offset by federal tax credits for research and development. Tax rate drivers for the first six months of 2026 and 2025 were similar to those for the respective quarters; however, the effective income tax rate for the first six months of 2026 included an additional tax benefit from stock-based awards that settled in the first quarter of 2026. On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the OBBBA) was enacted into law. The OBBBA includes provisions retroactive to January 1, 2025, and, among other provisions, eliminates the requirement to capitalize and amortize domestic research and experimentation expenditures over five years and provides an election for taxpayers to deduct such expenditures in the year incurred.

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. 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. Digital advertising includes (i) display revenue (which includes website and mobile applications); and (ii) non-display revenues generated from advertisements placed in audio, email, and video, as well as revenues generated by creative services fees. Advertisements are sold either directly to marketers by our advertising sales teams or, for a smaller proportion of advertising revenue, through programmatic auctions run by third-party ad exchanges. Print advertising includes revenue from column-inch ads and classified advertising, as well as preprinted advertising, …

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 Companys President and Chief Executive Officer (who is the Companys CODM) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance; and (iii) it has available discrete financial information. In the third quarter of 2025, the Company revised its operating segments to align with how the CODM manages the business, and, as a result, the Company has determined it has one reportable segment. The segment is evaluated regularly on a consolidated basis by the Companys CODM in assessing performance and allocating resources. The Companys CODM uses net income and adjusted operating profit to allocate resources during the annual budgeting and forecasting process and to assess the Companys performance. Refer to our Consolidated Statements of Operations for net income and significant segment expenses. Adjusted operating profit is defined as operating profit before depreciation and amortization, severance, multiemployer pension plan withdrawal costs and special items.

SUPPLEMENTAL STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY INFORMATION Share Repurchases The Board of Directors approved Class A Common Stock share repurchase programs in February 2023 ($250.0 million) and February 2025 ($350.0 million).
