The company's Australian, US and UK newspapers, book publishing arm and Australian pay TV business became News Corp.

John Nallen, 21st Century Fox's chief financial officer, said the company's overall growth in 2014 would be driven by the company's cable TV segment and launch of sports network in U.S. and Asia.

Meanwhile, the company is also expecting adverse currency effects, principally from Latin American currencies and the Indian rupee, to impact 2014 growth.
