… earlier in the release
The increase in Adjusted OIBDA was primarily driven by revenue growth and strong operating performance, as well as savings from the Company’s restructuring plans, of which a portion has been reinvested in the Company’s business, partially offset by unfavorable movements in foreign currency exchange rates of approximately $4 million. The increase in Adjusted OIBDA margin was primarily driven by revenue mix. Recent Announcements In addition, the Company also announced today that its Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.19 per share on the Company’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock. The dividend is payable on June 2, 2026, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 26, 2026.
