On January 31, 2026, we completed the transfer of The Detroit News from MediaNews Group (the "Detroit News Transaction").

Our U.K. media operations are conducted through our Newsquest subsidiary. In addition, we have foreign operations in regions such as Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations had a positive impact on our revenues and Segment Adjusted EBITDA and a negative impact on costs.
