This page shows its income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement, and key financial ratios.

Gannett’s shrinking revenue base is being partly offset by cost reduction, but debt and working-capital pressure still shape the business.
From FY2021 to FY2025, revenue contracted28.3% while gross margin ended near its earlier level at38.7% , so the main adjustment has been cost reduction below gross profit rather than a higher-margin sales mix. Selling, general, and administrative expense fell from$902M to$640M , helping FY2025 net income reach$2M even as the business remained smaller.
