The decreases in advertising revenue, performance marketing revenue and subscription revenue are all due, in part, to ongoing portfolio optimization changes that resulted in a reduction in the number of issues sold in the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter and the ongoing migration of audience from print to digital platforms. The decrease in project and other revenue was due to a decrease in ticket sales for certain branded events.

The increase in Performance marketing revenue was due primarily to an increase in affiliate commerce commission revenue, partially offset by a decrease in performance marketing service revenue in the Finance category. The increase in Licensing and Other revenue was due primarily toimproved performance from content syndication partners and Apple News+, as well as the contribution of a full quarter of OpenAI revenue, a partnership which beganin May 2024 (the “OpenAI Partnership”).

The increase in Performance marketing revenue was due primarily to an increase in affiliate commerce commission revenue due tohigher transaction volumes and the timing of volume-related retailer incentive programs, partially offset by a decrease in performance marketing service revenue primarily in the Finance category. The increase in Licensing and Other revenue was due primarily toimproved performance from Apple News+ and content syndication partners. The decrease in Advertising revenue was driven primarily by lower programmatic revenue primarily due to lower impression volumes driven by a 6% decline in Core Sessions, due primarily to the impact of the increasing prominence of Google AI Overviews on Google search sessions, and an increased portion of impression volume consumed by premium advertising, partially offset by higher programmatic rates.
