Summary of Findings

• An analysis of the referenced financial reports revealed that Foxtel reports its financial performance including advertising revenue in form of aggregate data for all its channels and companies.
• Consequently, a breakdown of advertising revenue in terms of channels or companies may be unavailable in the public domain simply because the company has numerous channels and companies that make it unfeasible to report segmented data.
• We therefore recommend that we continue with research to find the aggregate advertising revenue data for 2019 and any available information on ratings.
