SEGMENT REPORTING |
SEGMENT REPORTING | NOTE 16. SEGMENT REPORTING The Company’s business is organized in three operating segments, one of which does not meet the quantitative thresholds for determining reportable segments, and two reportable segments: Music Publishing and Recorded Music. The Company identified its Chief Executive Officer as its Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). The Company’s CODM evaluates financial performance of its segments based on operating income before depreciation and amortization (“OIBDA”). The CODM regularly reviews trends in OIBDA and compares OIBDA results to budgets to evaluate the profitability of the segments. During the annual budget process, the CODM also considers OIBDA to assist in the allocation of resources to the segments. The accounting policies of the Company’s business segments are consistent with the Company’s policies for the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company does not have sales between segments. The following tables present total revenue and OIBDA by segment, significant segment expenses, which are expenses that are included in OIBDA, significant to the segment considering qualitative and quantitative factors and regularly provided or easily computed from information regularly provided to the CODM, and a reconciliation of OIBDA to income before income taxes for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024: ​
