Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

Beginning in 2026, we transitioned our reporting structure into three new segments: Studios, Direct-to-Consumer, and TV Media. In addition, we updated our segment expense allocations to better reflect how we operate and make cost decisions across the business. Certain centralized costs that were previously allocated at the segment level are now reported within corporate expenses. Finally, we transitioned our segment measure and our non-GAAP profitability measure from Adjusted OIBDA to Adjusted EBITDA.

We are providing supplemental unaudited historical financial information under the new segment presentation and reflecting the segment expense allocation change. The Company did not operate under this new segment structure for any of these prior periods and will begin to report results under the new segment structure with its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2026. This information is being furnished to allow investors an opportunity to review the periods of 2025 recast to reflect these presentation changes in advance of the Form 10-Q filing.

Title: Chief Legal Officer

Document

Exhibit 99

References to “Paramount,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Paramount Skydance Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless the context otherwise requires.

Reporting Structure Change

Beginning in 2026, we transitioned our reporting structure into three new segments: Studios, Direct-to-Consumer, and TV Media. Under the new segment structure, our Studios segment reflects the combination of the historical Filmed Entertainment segment with the historical TV Media studio operations, consolidating our content creation activities. Additionally, our premium cable channel, Paramount+ with Showtime, which was previously under the TV Media segment, is now managed under the Direct-to-Consumer segment.

Studios – Our Studios segment consists of our television and film studio operations, including CBS Studios, Paramount Television Studios, Nickelodeon Animation, Paramount Pictures, Paramount Animation, and Miramax, as well as Skydance Animation, Film, Television, and Interactive/Games, and Paramount Sports Entertainment.

Direct-to-Consumer – Our Direct-to-Consumer segment consists of our portfolio of domestic and international pay and free streaming services, including Paramount+, Pluto TV, and BET+, as well as our domestic premium cable network, Paramount+ with Showtime.

TV Media – Our TV Media segment consists of our (1) broadcast operations—the CBS Television Network, our domestic broadcast television network; CBS Stations, our owned television stations; and our international free-to-air networks, including Network 10 and Channel 5; (2) domestic basic cable networks, including, MTV, Comedy Central, Paramount Network, The Smithsonian Channel, Nickelodeon, BET Media Group, CBS Sports Network, and international extensions of certain of these brands; and (3) CBS Media Ventures, which produces and distributes first-run syndicated programming. TV Media also includes a number of digital properties such as CBS News 24/7 for 24-hour news and CBS Sports HQ for sports news and analysis.

Change to Segment Expense Allocations

Concurrent with the change to our segments, in the first quarter of 2026 we updated our segment expense allocations to better reflect how we operate and make cost decisions across the business. Certain centralized costs that were previously allocated at the segment level are now reported within corporate expenses.

Change in Primary Measure of Segment Profit and Loss

Also in the first quarter of 2026 we transitioned our primary measure of profit and loss for our operating segments from Adjusted operating income before depreciation and amortization (Adjusted OIBDA) to Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as net earnings (loss) before interest expense and income; provision for (benefit from) income taxes; other items; equity in earnings (loss) of investee companies, net of tax; depreciation and amortization; and stock-based compensation, adjusted to exclude certain items identified as affecting comparability that are not part of our normal operations. This change was made to align with how management began measuring the Company’s ongoing operating performance in 2026. While both adjusted measures exclude items identified as affecting comparability that are not part of our normal operations, including programming charges, impairment charges, restructuring charges, transaction-related items, other corporate matters, and gain (loss) on dispositions, each where applicable, Adjusted EBITDA, as we define it, also excludes stock-based compensation, which is a noncash expense that management does not consider to be part of our underlying operating performance.

The changes described above will be presented in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the first quarter of 2026. The tables below present unaudited supplemental financial results for 2025 recast to reflect these changes and a reconciliation of total Adjusted EBITDA to Net earnings (loss), the most directly comparable financial measure in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP” or “GAAP”).

Our financial results for 2025 are presented in two distinct periods to indicate the new basis of accounting established for Paramount Global’s net assets upon the closing of the Transactions (as defined in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on February 25, 2026) on August 7, 2025. The periods prior to August 7, 2025 include only Paramount Global and are identified as “Predecessor”, and the periods beginning on August 7, 2025 reflect Paramount Skydance Corporation and are identified as “Successor”. For additional information, please refer to Note 1 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURES REGARDING NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The table below sets forth Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation to net earnings (loss), the most directly comparable financial measure in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is a measure of performance not calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net earnings (loss) before interest expense and income; provision for (benefit from) income taxes; other items; equity in earnings (loss) of investee companies, net of tax; depreciation and amortization; and stock-based compensation, adjusted to exclude certain items identified as affecting comparability that are not part of our normal operations.

We use Adjusted EBITDA to, among other things, evaluate our operating performance and it is the primary measure used by management for planning and forecasting of future periods, and is an important indicator of our operational strength and business performance. In addition, we use Adjusted EBITDA to, among other things, value prospective acquisitions. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is relevant and useful for investors because it allows investors to view our performance in a manner consistent with the method used by our management; and because it excludes items that are not representative of our normal, recurring operations, it provides a clearer perspective on underlying performance, and makes it easier for investors, analysts and peers to compare our operating performance to other companies in the industry and to compare our results across reporting periods.

Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, our results as reported under U.S. GAAP, including net earnings (loss), as a measure of performance and undue reliance should not be placed on Adjusted EBITDA. Other companies may define Adjusted EBITDA differently and, as a result, our measure of Adjusted EBITDA may not be directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA of other companies.

ADJUSTED EBITDA BY REPORTABLE SEGMENT

(unaudited; in millions)

In the first quarter of 2026, management began using Adjusted EBITDA as the primary method for planning and forecasting of future periods, evaluating the operating performance of our segments, and making decisions about resource allocation. Accordingly, Adjusted EBITDA became the primary measure of profit and loss for our operating segments in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) guidance for segment reporting. The table below sets forth our Adjusted EBITDA by reportable segment.
