Fox's adjusted revenue falls 6.3 percent

[November 04, 2015] (Reuters) - Twenty-First Century Fox Inc reported a 6.3 percent fall in quarterly adjusted revenue as a lack of major movie releases weighed on its studio business.

Net income attributable to shareholders fell to $675 million, or 34 cents per share, in the first quarter ended Sept. 30, from $1.04 billion, or 47 cents per share, a year earlier.

The year-ago numbers include Fox's direct broadcast satellite television business, which the company has since sold.

Adjusting for the sale, Fox's revenue fell to $6.08 billion in the quarter from $6.48 billion a year earlier.
