In its own words
What could break it.
Commodity & input dependence
- paper / newsprintmedium
As a major publisher of newspapers, magazines and books, News Corp consumes substantial quantities of paper sourced globally, exposing it to paper price and availability volatility.
“As a major publisher of newspapers, magazines and books, the Company utilizes substantial quantities of various types of paper. In order to obtain the best available prices, substantially all of the Company's paper purchasing is done on a regional, volume purchase basis, and draws upon major paper manufacturing countries around the world.”
Regulatory & policy
- EU Deforestation Regulation, tariffs and newsprint mill consolidationmedium
Changes in laws such as the EU Deforestation Regulation, tariffs/trade policy, and newsprint-mill closures and supplier consolidation could raise News Corp's printing and distribution costs and disrupt its paper supply chain.
“Factors such as inflationary pressures, labor shortages, higher transportation costs and delays and other supply chain issues, financial pressures, industry trends or economics (including the closure or conversion of newsprint mills and consolidation among suppliers and partners), labor unrest, changes in laws and regulations, such as the E.U.'s Deforestation Regulation, natural disasters, extreme weather (which may occur with increasing frequency and intensity), pandemics and other widespread health crises, tariffs or other changes in trade policy or other circumstances affecting the Company's paper and other third-party suppliers and print and distribution partners have increased, or could in the future increase, the Company's printing and distribution costs”
