MUMBAI: News Corp’s quarterly profit was down 52 per cent due to foreign-exchange fluctuations and lower advertising sales offset revenue gains in book publishing and the digital real-estate business.
 
The company’s net income for the three months ended 31 March, 2015 fell to $23 million, or four cents a share, from $48 million, or eight cents, in the same period a year earlier.
 
For the fiscal 2015 third quarter, total revenues slipped one per cent to $2.06 billion as compared to $2.08 billion in the prior year. The majority of the revenue decline reflects negative foreign currency fluctuations and lower advertising revenues at the News and Information Services segment, offset in large part by growth in the Book Publishing and Digital Real Estate Services segments as a result of the acquisition of Harlequin Enterprises Limited and Move, Inc., respectively.
