Receivables Reserves for accounts receivable reflect our expected credit losses based on historical experience as well as current and expected economic conditions and industry trends. At June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, our allowance for credit losses was $16 million and $10 million, respectively. Included in “Other assets” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets are noncurrent receivables of $782 million and $835 million at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Noncurrent receivables primarily relate to revenues recognized under long-term content licensing arrangements. Revenues from the licensing of content are recognized at the beginning of the license period in which programs are made available to the licensee for exhibition, while the related cash is generally collected over the term of the license period. Contract Liabilities Contract liabilities are included within “Deferred revenues” and “Other liabilities” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and were $1.6 billion and $1.5 billion at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. We recognized revenues of $0.9 billion and $0.6 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2026 (Successor) and 2025 (Predecessor), respectively, that were included in the opening balance of deferred revenues for the respective year. Unrecognized Revenues Under Contract At June 30, 2026, unrecognized revenues attributable to unsatisfied performance obligations under our long-term contracts were approximately $6 billion, of which $2 billion is expected to be recognized during the remainder of 2026, $2 billion in 2027, $1 billion in 2028, and $1 billion thereafter. These amounts only include contracts subject to a guaranteed fixed amount or the guaranteed minimum under variable contracts, primarily consisting of television and film licensing contracts and affiliate agreements that are subject to a fixed or guaranteed minimum fee. Such amounts change on a regular basis as we renew existing agreements or enter into new agreements. In addition, the timing of satisfying certain performance obligations under these long-term contracts is uncertain and, therefore, is also subject to change. Unrecognized revenues under contracts disclosed above do not include (i) contracts with an original expected term of one year or less, mainly consisting of advertising contracts, (ii) contracts for which variable consideration is determined based on the customer’s subsequent sale or usage, mainly consisting of affiliate agreements and (iii) long-term licensing agreements for multiple programs for which variable consideration is determined based on the value of the programs delivered to the customer and our right to invoice corresponds with the value delivered. Performance Obligations Satisfied in Previous Periods Under certain revenue arrangements, the amount and timing of our revenue recognition is determined based on our licensees’ subsequent sale to its end customers. As a result, under such arrangements we often satisfy our performance obligation of delivery of our content in advance of revenue recognition. We recognized revenues of $0.1 billion for each of the three months ended June 30, 2026 (Successor) and 2025 (Predecessor) and $0.2 billion and $0.3 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2026 (Successor) and 2025 (Predecessor), respectively, principally relating to content licensing arrangements for which the performance obligation was satisfied prior to the periods indicated, including agreements with distributors of transactional video-on-demand and electronic sell- through services, other licensing arrangements, and theatrical distribution of our films.
