(the &#x201c;Company&#x201d;) was formed on November&#160;21, 2003. The Company is the direct parent of WMG Holdings Corp. (&#x201c;Holdings&#x201d;), which is the direct parent of WMG Acquisition Corp. (&#x201c;Acquisition Corp.&#x201d;).

The Company listed its shares on the NASDAQ stock market under the ticker symbol &#x201c;WMG.&#x201d; The offering consisted entirely of secondary shares sold by Access Industries, LLC (collectively with its affiliates, &#x201c;Access&#x201d;) and certain related selling stockholders.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:12pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Access continues to hold all of the Class B common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (&#x201c;Class B Common Stock&#x201d;), representing approximately 98% of the total combined voting power of the Company&#x2019;s outstanding common stock and approximately 72% of the economic interest as of September&#160;30, 2024. As a result, the Company is a &#x201c;controlled company&#x201d; within the meaning of the corporate governance standards of NASDAQ. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%"&gt;Recorded Music Operations&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:6pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Our Recorded Music business primarily consists of the discovery and development of recording artists and the related marketing, promotion, distribution, sale and licensing of music created by such recording artists.

Accordingly, the results of operations for the 2022 fiscal year reflect 53 weeks compared to 52 weeks for the 2023 and 2024 fiscal years. Starting with the 2023 fiscal year, the Company transitioned to a reporting calendar in which the reporting periods end on the last day of the calendar quarter.

A VIE is consolidated if the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE, which is the party involved with the VIE that has both (i) the power to control the most significant activities of the VIE and (ii) either the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. If an entity is not deemed to be a VIE, the Company consolidates the entity if the Company has a controlling voting interest. As of September&#160;30, 2024 and 2023, there were approximately $77 million and $5 million of assets, respectively, and $2 million and $2 million of liabilities, respectively, related to VIEs included in our consolidated balance sheets. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:12pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;The Company has performed a review of all subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that no additional disclosures are necessary.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%"&gt;Earnings per Share&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:6pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;The consolidated statements of operations present basic and diluted earnings per share (&#x201c;EPS&#x201d;). The Company utilizes the two-class method to report earnings per share. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each class of common stock according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Undistributed earnings allocated to participating securities are subtracted from net income in determining net income attributable to common stockholders. See also Note 3, Earnings Per Share.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%"&gt;Use of Estimates&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:6pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%"&gt;Business Combinations&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:6pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;The Company accounts for its business acquisitions under the FASB ASC Topic 805, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Business&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Combinations&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt; (&#x201c;ASC 805&#x201d;) guidance for business combinations. The total cost of acquisitions is allocated to the underlying identifiable net assets based on their respective estimated fair values. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires management&#x2019;s judgment and often involves the use of estimates and assumptions, including assumptions with respect to future cash inflows and outflows, discount rates, asset lives and market multiples, among other items.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%"&gt;Cash and Equivalents&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:6pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. The Company includes checks outstanding at year end as a component of accounts payable, instead of a reduction in its cash balance where there is not a right of offset in the related bank accounts. The Company maintains certain cash deposits in excess of FDIC insurance limits. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%"&gt;Accounts Receivable&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:6pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Credit is extended to customers based upon an evaluation of the customer&#x2019;s financial condition. Accounts receivable are recorded net of an allowance for current expected credit losses.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%"&gt;Refund Liabilities and Allowance for Credit Losses&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:6pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Management&#x2019;s estimate of Recorded Music physical products that will be returned, and the amount of receivables that will ultimately be collected is an area of judgment affecting reported revenues and operating income. In determining the estimate of physical product sales that will be returned, management analyzes vendor sales of product, historical return trends, current economic conditions, changes in customer demand and commercial acceptance of the Company&#x2019;s products. Based on this information, management reserves a percentage of each dollar of physical product sales that provide the customer with the right of return. The provision for such sales returns is reflected as a reduction in the revenues from the related sale.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:12pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Similarly, the Company monitors customer credit losses related to accounts receivable. Judgments and estimates are involved in evaluating if accounts receivable will ultimately be fully collected. On an ongoing basis, the Company tracks customer exposure based on news reports, ratings agency information, reviews of customer financial data and direct dialogue with customers. Counterparties that are determined to be of a higher risk are evaluated to assess whether the payment terms previously granted to them &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;should be modified. The Company also monitors payment levels from customers, and an allowance for estimated credit losses is maintained based on such payment levels, historical experience, management&#x2019;s views on trends in the overall receivable aging, for larger accounts, analyses of specific risks per customer, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of the economic and geopolitical conditions that may exist through the contractual life of the receivable. The Company will write off receivables only when they are deemed no longer collectible.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%"&gt;Concentration of Credit Risk&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:6pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Customer credit risk represents the potential for financial loss if a customer is unwilling or unable to meet its agreed upon contractual payment obligations. As of both September&#160;30, 2024 and September&#160;30, 2023, Spotify AB represented 18% of the Company&#x2019;s accounts receivable balance. No other single customer accounted for more than 10% of accounts receivable in either period. The Company, by policy, routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers. As such, the Company does not believe there is any significant collection risk.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:12pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;In the Music Publishing business, the Company collects a significant portion of its royalties from copyright collecting societies around the world. Collecting societies and associations generally are not-for-profit organizations that represent composers, songwriters and music publishers. These organizations seek to protect the rights of their members by licensing, collecting license fees and distributing royalties for the use of the members&#x2019; works. Accordingly, the Company does not believe there is any significant collection risk from such societies.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%"&gt;Inventories&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:6pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Inventories consist of merchandise, vinyl, CDs, DVDs and other related music products. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or estimated realizable value. Cost is determined using first-in, first-out (&#x201c;FIFO&#x201d;) and average cost methods, which approximate cost under the FIFO method.

ASC 815 also provides that, for derivative instruments that qualify for hedge accounting, changes in the fair value are either (a)&#160;offset against the change in fair value of the&#160;hedged assets, liabilities or firm commitments through earnings or (b)&#160;recognized in equity until the hedged item is recognized in earnings, depending on whether the derivative is being used to hedge changes in fair value or cash flows. In addition, the ineffective portion of a derivative&#x2019;s change in fair value is immediately recognized in earnings.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:12pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;The carrying value of the Company&#x2019;s financial instruments approximates fair value, except for certain differences relating to long-term, fixed-rate debt (see Note 20) and other financial instruments that are not significant. The fair value of financial instruments is generally determined by reference to market values resulting from trading on a national securities exchange or an over-the-counter market. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%"&gt;Property, Plant and Equipment&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:6pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Property, plant and equipment acquired in conjunction with business combinations are recorded at fair value. All other additions are recorded at historical cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method based upon the estimated useful lives of depreciable assets commencing at the date assets are placed in service as follows: &lt;span style="-sec-ix-hidden:f-503"&gt;five&lt;/span&gt; to seven years for furniture and fixtures, periods of up to five years for computer equipment and software and periods of up to thirteen years for machinery and equipment. Buildings are depreciated over periods of up to forty years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the life of the lease or estimated useful lives of the improvements, whichever period is shorter. Construction in progress assets are not depreciated until placed in service and available for their intended use, at which time they are assigned a useful life consistent with the nature of the asset.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:12pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;The Company accounts for costs incurred to develop or purchase computer software for internal use in accordance with FASB ASC Subtopic 350-40, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Internal-Use Software&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt; (&#x201c;ASC 350-40&#x201d;).

Goodwill represents synergies and economies of scale expected from the combination of services and is determined based on the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets, including the amount assigned to identifiable intangible assets. Pursuant to this guidance, the Company does not amortize the goodwill balance and instead, performs an annual impairment test to assess the fair value of goodwill over its carrying value. Identifiable intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their useful lives.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:12pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Goodwill is tested annually for impairment on July 1 and at any time upon occurrence of certain events or changes in circumstances. ASC 350 gives an entity the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit or intangible asset is less than its carrying amount. If an entity determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit or intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, then performing the quantitative impairment test is unnecessary. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, then the quantitative impairment test shall be used to identify the impairment and measure the amount of an impairment loss to be recognized (if applicable).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:12pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;The Company performs an annual impairment test of its indefinite-lived intangible assets as of July 1 of each fiscal year, unless events occur which trigger the need for an earlier impairment test. The Company has the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine if an impairment is more likely than not to have occurred. In the qualitative assessment, the Company must evaluate the totality of qualitative factors, including any recent fair value measurements, that impact whether an indefinite-lived intangible asset other than goodwill has a carrying amount that more likely than not exceeds its fair value. The Company must proceed to conduct a quantitative analysis if the Company (i) determines that such an impairment is more likely than not to exist or (ii) forgoes the qualitative assessment entirely.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:12pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;The impairment tests may require management to make assumptions about future conditions impacting the value of the indefinite-lived intangible assets, including projected growth rates, cost of capital, effective tax rates, tax amortization periods, royalty rates, market share and others.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%"&gt;Valuation of Long-Lived Assets&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:6pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;The Company periodically reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets, including finite-lived intangibles, property, plant and equipment and amortizable intangible assets, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable or that the lives assigned may no longer be appropriate. To the extent the estimated future cash inflows attributable to the asset, less estimated future cash outflows, are less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the difference between the carrying value of such asset and its fair value. Assets to be disposed of and for which there is a committed plan to dispose of the assets, whether through sale or abandonment, are reported at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. If it is determined that events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization, an asset&#x2019;s remaining useful life would be changed, and the remaining carrying amount of the asset would be amortized prospectively over that revised remaining useful life.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%"&gt;Foreign Currency&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:6pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;The financial position and operating results of substantially all foreign operations are consolidated using the local currency as the functional currency. Local currency assets and liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange on the balance sheet date, and local currency revenues and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange during the period. Resulting translation gains or losses are included in the accompanying consolidated statements of equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:6pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Foreign currency transaction gains and losses arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a foreign currency other than the functional currency. The Company recorded foreign currency transaction gains of $2 million, gains of $4 million and losses of $11 million within operating income on the consolidated statement of operations during the years ended September&#160;30, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Furthermore, the Company recorded foreign currency transaction losses of $72 million, losses of $37 million and gains of $185 million within other (expense) income, net on the consolidated statement of operations during the years ended September&#160;30, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%"&gt;Revenues&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:6pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%"&gt;Recorded Music&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:6pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;As required by FASB ASC Topic 606,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt; Revenue from Contracts with Customers&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt; (&#x201c;ASC 606&#x201d;), the Company recognizes revenue when, or as, control of the promised services or goods is transferred to our customers and in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company is contractually due in exchange for those services or goods. The Company&#x2019;s revenue recognition process involves several applications that are responsible for the initiation and processing of transactions in order to recognize revenue in accordance with the Company&#x2019;s policy and ASC 606.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:12pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Revenues from the sale or license of Recorded Music products through digital distribution channels are typically recognized when sale or usage occurs based on usage reports received from the customer. These licenses typically contain a single performance obligation, which is ongoing access to all intellectual property in an evolving content library, predicated on: (1) the business practice and contractual ability to remove specific content without a requirement to replace the content and without impact to minimum royalty guarantees and (2) the contracts not containing a specific listing of content subject to the license. For certain licenses where the consideration is fixed and the intellectual property being licensed is static, revenue is recognized at the point in time when control of the licensed content is transferred to the customer.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:12pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Certain contracts contain minimum guarantees, which are recoupable against royalties. Upon contract inception, the Company will assess whether a shortfall or breakage is expected (i.e., where the minimum guarantee will not be recouped through royalties) in order to determine timing of revenue recognition for the minimum guarantee. For fixed fee contracts and minimum guarantee contracts where breakage is expected, the total transaction price (fixed fee or minimum guarantee) is recognized using an appropriate measure of progress over the contractual term. The Company updates its assessment of the transaction price each reporting period to see if anticipated royalty earnings exceed the minimum guarantee. For contracts where breakage is not expected, royalties are recognized as revenue as sales or usage occurs based upon the licensee&#x2019;s usage reports and, when these reports are not available, revenue is based on historical data, industry information and other relevant trends.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%"&gt;Music Publishing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:6pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Music Publishing revenues are earned from the receipt of royalties relating to the licensing of rights in musical compositions and the sale of published sheet music and songbooks. The receipt of royalties principally relates to amounts earned from the public performance of musical compositions, the mechanical reproduction of musical compositions on recorded media, including digital formats and the use of musical compositions in synchronization with visual images. Music publishing royalties, except for synchronization royalties, generally are recognized when the sale or usage occurs. The most common form of consideration for publishing contracts is sales- and usage-based royalties. The collecting societies submit usage reports, typically with payment for royalties due, often on a quarterly or biannual reporting period, in arrears.&#160;Royalties are recognized as the sale or usage occurs based upon usage reports and, when these reports are not available, royalties are estimated based on historical data, such as recent royalties reported, company-specific information with respect to changes in repertoire, industry information and other relevant trends. Synchronization revenue is typically recognized as revenue when control of the license is transferred to the customer in accordance with ASC&#160;606. See also Note 4, Revenue Recognition.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%"&gt;Royalty Costs and Royalty Advances&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:6pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;The Company incurs royalty costs that are payable to our recording artists and songwriters generated from the sale or license of our Recorded Music catalog and Music Publishing copyrights. Royalties are calculated using negotiated rates in accordance with recording artist and songwriter contracts and are based on revenue earned.

The Company accounts for these advances under the related guidance in FASB ASC Topic 928, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Entertainment&#x2014;Music&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt; (&#x201c;ASC 928&#x201d;). Under ASC 928, the Company capitalizes as assets certain advances that it believes are recoverable from future royalties to be earned by the recording artist or songwriter. Recoverability is assessed upon initial commitment of the advance based upon the Company&#x2019;s forecast of anticipated revenue from the sale of future and existing albums or musical compositions. In determining whether the advance is recoverable, the Company evaluates the current and past popularity of the recording artist or songwriter, the sales history of the recording artist or songwriter, the initial or expected commercial acceptability of the product, the current and past popularity of the genre of music that the product is designed to appeal to, and other relevant factors. Advances vary in both amount and expected life based on the underlying recording artist or songwriter. To the extent that a portion of an outstanding advance is no longer deemed recoverable, that amount will be expensed in the period the determination is made.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%"&gt;Advertising&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:6pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;As required by the FASB ASC Subtopic 720-35, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Advertising Costs&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt; (&#x201c;ASC 720-35&#x201d;), advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

Stock-based compensation consists primarily of restricted stock units (&#x201c;RSUs&#x201d;) granted to eligible employees and executives under the Omnibus Incentive Plan. The Company measures compensation expense for RSUs based on the fair value of the award on the date of grant. The grant date fair value is based on the closing market price of the Company&#x2019;s Class A Common Stock on the date of grant. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. Stock-based compensation is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally four years.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:12pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;The Company also grants restricted stock to the Company&#x2019;s directors. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense equal to the grant date fair value of the restricted stock, based on the closing stock price on grant date, on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards, which is generally one year.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:12pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;The Company also grants market-based performance share units (&#x201c;PSUs&#x201d;) to our Chief Executive Officer whereby the PSU award payout is determined based on the Company&#x2019;s total shareholder return compared to a designated peer group. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense based on the grant date fair value of the PSUs using a Monte Carlo simulation model analysis, on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards, which is approximately three years.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%"&gt;Income Taxes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:6pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Income taxes are provided using the asset and liability method presented by FASB ASC Topic 740, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Income Taxes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt; (&#x201c;ASC 740&#x201d;). Under this method, income taxes (i.e., deferred tax assets, deferred tax liabilities, taxes currently payable/refunds receivable and tax expense) are recorded based on amounts refundable or payable in the current fiscal year and include the results of any differences between U.S. GAAP and tax reporting. Deferred income taxes reflect the tax effect of net operating loss, capital loss and general business credit carryforwards and the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial statements and income tax purposes, as determined under enacted tax laws and rates. Valuation allowances are established when management determines that it is more likely than not that some portion or the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized. The financial effect of changes in tax laws or rates is accounted for in the period of enactment. Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (&#x201c;GILTI&#x201d;) imposes U.S. taxes on the excess of a deemed return on tangible assets of certain foreign subsidiaries. The Company made an election to recognize GILTI tax in the specific period in which it occurs. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:12pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;From time to time, the Company engages in transactions in which the tax consequences may be subject to uncertainty. Judgment may be required in assessing and estimating the tax consequences of these transactions. The Company prepares and files tax returns based on its interpretation of tax laws and regulations. In the normal course of business, the Company&#x2019;s tax returns are subject to examination by various taxing authorities.

Based on this information, management reserves a percentage of each dollar of physical product sales that provide the customer with the right of return.

Buildings are depreciated over periods of up to forty years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the life of the lease or estimated useful lives of the improvements, whichever period is shorter. Construction in progress assets are not depreciated until placed in service and available for their intended use, at which time they are assigned a useful life consistent with the nature of the asset.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:12pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;The Company accounts for costs incurred to develop or purchase computer software for internal use in accordance with FASB ASC Subtopic 350-40, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Internal-Use Software&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt; (&#x201c;ASC 350-40&#x201d;).

Goodwill represents synergies and economies of scale expected from the combination of services and is determined based on the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets, including the amount assigned to identifiable intangible assets. Pursuant to this guidance, the Company does not amortize the goodwill balance and instead, performs an annual impairment test to assess the fair value of goodwill over its carrying value. Identifiable intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their useful lives.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:12pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Goodwill is tested annually for impairment on July 1 and at any time upon occurrence of certain events or changes in circumstances.

If an entity determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit or intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, then performing the quantitative impairment test is unnecessary. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, then the quantitative impairment test shall be used to identify the impairment and measure the amount of an impairment loss to be recognized (if applicable).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:12pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;The Company performs an annual impairment test of its indefinite-lived intangible assets as of July 1 of each fiscal year, unless events occur which trigger the need for an earlier impairment test. The Company has the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine if an impairment is more likely than not to have occurred. In the qualitative assessment, the Company must evaluate the totality of qualitative factors, including any recent fair value measurements, that impact whether an indefinite-lived intangible asset other than goodwill has a carrying amount that more likely than not exceeds its fair value.

The Company&#x2019;s revenue recognition process involves several applications that are responsible for the initiation and processing of transactions in order to recognize revenue in accordance with the Company&#x2019;s policy and ASC 606.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:12pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Revenues from the sale or license of Recorded Music products through digital distribution channels are typically recognized when sale or usage occurs based on usage reports received from the customer. These licenses typically contain a single performance obligation, which is ongoing access to all intellectual property in an evolving content library, predicated on: (1) the business practice and contractual ability to remove specific content without a requirement to replace the content and without impact to minimum royalty guarantees and (2) the contracts not containing a specific listing of content subject to the license. For certain licenses where the consideration is fixed and the intellectual property being licensed is static, revenue is recognized at the point in time when control of the licensed content is transferred to the customer.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:12pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Certain contracts contain minimum guarantees, which are recoupable against royalties. Upon contract inception, the Company will assess whether a shortfall or breakage is expected (i.e., where the minimum guarantee will not be recouped through royalties) in order to determine timing of revenue recognition for the minimum guarantee. For fixed fee contracts and minimum guarantee contracts where breakage is expected, the total transaction price (fixed fee or minimum guarantee) is recognized using an appropriate measure of progress over the contractual term. The Company updates its assessment of the transaction price each reporting period to see if anticipated royalty earnings exceed the minimum guarantee. For contracts where breakage is not expected, royalties are recognized as revenue as sales or usage occurs based upon the licensee&#x2019;s usage reports and, when these reports are not available, revenue is based on historical data, industry information and other relevant trends.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%"&gt;Music Publishing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:6pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Music Publishing revenues are earned from the receipt of royalties relating to the licensing of rights in musical compositions and the sale of published sheet music and songbooks. The receipt of royalties principally relates to amounts earned from the public performance of musical compositions, the mechanical reproduction of musical compositions on recorded media, including digital formats and the use of musical compositions in synchronization with visual images. Music publishing royalties, except for synchronization royalties, generally are recognized when the sale or usage occurs. The most common form of consideration for publishing contracts is sales- and usage-based royalties. The collecting societies submit usage reports, typically with payment for royalties due, often on a quarterly or biannual reporting period, in arrears.&#160;Royalties are recognized as the sale or usage occurs based upon usage reports and, when these reports are not available, royalties are estimated based on historical data, such as recent royalties reported, company-specific information with respect to changes in repertoire, industry information and other relevant trends. Synchronization revenue is typically recognized as revenue when control of the license is transferred to the customer in accordance with ASC&#160;606.

Under ASC 928, the Company capitalizes as assets certain advances that it believes are recoverable from future royalties to be earned by the recording artist or songwriter. Recoverability is assessed upon initial commitment of the advance based upon the Company&#x2019;s forecast of anticipated revenue from the sale of future and existing albums or musical compositions. In determining whether the advance is recoverable, the Company evaluates the current and past popularity of the recording artist or songwriter, the sales history of the recording artist or songwriter, the initial or expected commercial acceptability of the product, the current and past popularity of the genre of music that the product is designed to appeal to, and other relevant factors. Advances vary in both amount and expected life based on the underlying recording artist or songwriter. To the extent that a portion of an outstanding advance is no longer deemed recoverable, that amount will be expensed in the period the determination is made.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</wmg:RoyaltyCostsAndRoyaltyAdvancesPolicyTextBlock>

Deferred income taxes reflect the tax effect of net operating loss, capital loss and general business credit carryforwards and the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial statements and income tax purposes, as determined under enacted tax laws and rates.

Such examinations may result in future tax and interest assessments by these taxing authorities. In determining the Company&#x2019;s tax provision for financial reporting purposes, the Company establishes a reserve for uncertain tax positions, unless such positions are determined to be more likely than not of being sustained upon examination based on their technical merits.

The amendment clarifies the accounting for leasehold improvements for leases between entities under common control. Specifically, the ASU 2023-01 requires that leasehold improvements associated with common control leases be both: (1) amortized by the lessee over the useful life of the leasehold improvement to the common control group, regardless of the lease term, and (2) accounted for as an adjustment to equity when leasehold improvements are transferred between entities under common control when the lessee no longer controls the leasehold improvements. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. The Company will adopt this guidance for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2024 on a prospective basis for all new leasehold &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;improvements recognized on or after that date.

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to each class of stock, less earnings available to participating securities, by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares for each class of stock. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to each class of stock, less earnings available to participating securities, by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares, plus dilutive potential common shares, which is calculated using the treasury-stock method. Under the treasury-stock method, potential common shares are excluded from the computation of EPS in periods in which they have an anti-dilutive effect. The potentially dilutive common shares did not have a dilutive effect on the Company&#x2019;s EPS calculation for the fiscal years ended September&#160;30, 2024, September&#160;30, 2023 and

An estimate of variable consideration is included in the transaction price if, in the Company&#x2019;s judgment, it is probable that a significant future reversal of cumulative revenue under the contract will not occur. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#222222;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Certain of the Company&#x2019;s arrangements include licenses of intellectual property with consideration in the form of sales- and usage-based royalties. Royalty revenue is recognized when the subsequent sale or usage occurs using the best estimates available of the amounts that will be received by the Company. Within revenues, there may be settlements related to past infringements of our intellectual property.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:18pt"&gt;&lt;span

selling, marketing, distribution and licensing of recorded music produced by the Company&#x2019;s recording artists. Recorded Music revenues are derived from four main sources, which include digital, physical, artist services and expanded-rights, and licensing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:12pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Digital revenues are generated from the expanded universe of digital partners, including digital streaming services and download services. These licenses typically contain a single performance obligation, which is ongoing access to all intellectual property in an evolving content library, predicated on: (1) the business practice and contractual ability to remove specific content &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;without a requirement to replace the content and without impact to minimum royalty guarantees and (2) the contracts not containing a specific listing of content subject to the license. Digital licensing contracts are generally long-term with consideration in the form of sales- and usage-based royalties that are typically received monthly. Certain contracts contain minimum guarantees, which are recoupable against royalties. Upon contract inception, the Company will assess whether a shortfall or breakage is expected (i.e., where the minimum guarantee will not be recouped through royalties) in order to determine timing of revenue recognition for the minimum guarantee.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:12pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;For fixed fee contracts and minimum guarantee contracts where breakage is expected, the total transaction price (fixed fee or minimum guarantee) is recognized proportionately over the contract term using an appropriate measure of progress which is based on the Company&#x2019;s digital partner&#x2019;s subscribers or streaming activity as these are measures of access to an evolving catalog, or on a straight-line basis. The Company updates its assessment of the transaction price each reporting period to see if anticipated royalty earnings exceed the minimum guarantee. For contracts where breakage is not expected, royalties are recognized as revenue as sales or usage occurs based upon the licensee&#x2019;s usage reports and, when these reports are not available, revenue is based on historical data, industry information and other relevant trends.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:12pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Additionally, for certain licenses where the consideration is fixed and the intellectual property being licensed is static, revenue is recognized at the point in time when control of the licensed content is transferred to the customer.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:12pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Physical revenues are generated from the sale of physical products such as vinyl, CDs and DVDs. Revenues from the sale of physical Recorded Music products are recognized upon transfer of control to the customer, which typically occurs once the product has been shipped and the ability to direct use and obtain substantially all of the benefit from the asset have been transferred. In accordance with industry practice and as is customary in many territories, certain products, such as vinyl, CDs and DVDs, are sold to customers with the right to return unsold items. Revenues from such sales are generally recognized upon shipment based on gross sales less a provision for future estimated returns.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:12pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Artist services and expanded-rights revenues are generated from artist services businesses and participation in expanded-rights associated with artists, including advertising, merchandising including direct-to-consumer sales, touring, concert promotion, ticketing, sponsorship, fan clubs, artist websites, social publishing, and artist and brand management. Artist services and expanded-rights contracts are generally short term. Revenue is recognized as or when services are provided (e.g., at time of an artist&#x2019;s event) assuming collectability is probable. In some cases, the Company is reliant on the artist to report revenue generating activities. For certain artist services and expanded-rights contracts, collectability is not considered probable until notification is received from the artist&#x2019;s management. Revenues from the sale of products sold through our e-commerce websites are recognized when control of the goods is transferred to the customer, which is upon receipt of finished goods by the customer.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:12pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Licensing revenues represent royalties or fees for the right to use sound recordings in combination with visual images such as in films or television programs, television commercials and video games. In certain territories, the Company may also receive royalties when sound recordings are performed publicly through broadcast of music on television, radio and cable and in public spaces such as shops, workplaces, restaurants, bars and clubs. Licensing contracts are generally short term. For fixed-fee contracts, revenue is recognized at the point in time when control of the licensed content is transferred to the customer. Royalty based contracts are recognized as the underlying sales or usage occurs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:18pt;text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%"&gt;Music Publishing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Music Publishing acts as a copyright owner and/or administrator of the musical compositions and generates revenues related to the exploitation of musical compositions (as opposed to recorded music). Music publishers generally receive royalties from the use of the musical compositions in public performances, digital and physical recordings and in combination with visual images. Music publishing revenues are derived from five main sources: mechanical, performance, synchronization, digital and other.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:12pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Digital revenues are generated with respect to the musical compositions being embodied in recordings licensed to digital streaming services and digital download services and for digital performance. Performance revenues are received when the musical composition is performed publicly through broadcast of music on television, radio and cable and in retail locations (e.g., bars and restaurants), live performance at a concert or other venue (e.g., arena concerts and nightclubs) and performance of musical compositions in staged theatrical productions. Mechanical revenues are generated with respect to the musical compositions embodied in recordings sold in any physical format or configuration such as vinyl, CDs and DVDs. Synchronization revenues represent the right to use the composition in combination with visual images such as in films or television programs, television commercials and video games as well as from other uses such as in toys or novelty items and merchandise. Other revenues represent earnings for use in printed sheet music and other uses. Digital and synchronization revenue recognition is similar for both Recorded Music and Music Publishing, therefore refer to the discussion within Recorded Music.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:12pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Included in these revenue streams, excluding synchronization and other, are licenses with performing rights organizations or collecting societies (e.g., ASCAP, BMI, SESAC and GEMA), which are long-term contracts containing a single performance obligation, which is ongoing access to all intellectual property in an evolving content library. The most common form of consideration for these contracts is sales- and usage-based royalties. The collecting societies submit usage reports, typically with payment for royalties due, often on a quarterly or biannual reporting period, in arrears. Royalties are recognized as the sale or usage occurs based upon usage reports and, when these reports are not available, royalties are estimated based on historical data, such as recent royalties reported, company-specific information with respect to changes in repertoire, industry information and other relevant trends. Also included in these revenue streams are smaller, short-term contracts for specified content, which generally involve a fixed fee. For fixed-fee contracts, revenue is recognized at the point in time when control of the license is transferred to the customer.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:12pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;The Company excludes from the measurement of transaction price all taxes assessed by governmental authorities that are both (i) imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and (ii) collected from customers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%"&gt;Sales Returns and Uncollectible Accounts&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:6pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;In accordance with practice in the recorded music industry and as customary in many territories, certain physical revenue products (such as vinyl, CDs and DVDs) are sold to customers with the right to return unsold items.

Based on this information, management reserves a percentage of each dollar of physical product sales that provide the customer with the right of return and records an asset for the value of the returned goods and liability for the amounts expected to be refunded.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:12pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Similarly, management evaluates accounts receivables to determine if they will ultimately be collected. In performing this evaluation, significant judgments and estimates are involved, including an analysis of specific risks on a customer-by-customer basis for larger accounts and customers and a receivables aging analysis that determines the percent that has historically been uncollected by aged category, in addition to other factors to estimate an allowance for credit losses. The time between the Company&#x2019;s issuance of an invoice and payment due date is not significant; customer payments that are not collected in advance of the transfer of promised services or goods are generally due no later than 30 days from invoice date. Based on this information, management provides a reserve for estimated credit losses.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:12pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Based on management&#x2019;s analysis of sales returns, refund liabilities of $20 million and $19 million were established at September&#160;30, 2024 and September&#160;30, 2023, respectively.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:12pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Based on management&#x2019;s analysis of estimated credit losses, reserves of $26 million and $19 million were established at September&#160;30, 2024 and September&#160;30, 2023, respectively.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%"&gt;Principal versus Agent Revenue Recognition&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:6pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;The Company reports revenue on a gross or net basis based on management&#x2019;s assessment of whether the Company acts as a principal or agent in the transaction. The determination of whether the Company acts as a principal or an agent in a transaction is based on an evaluation of whether the Company controls the good or service before transfer to the customer. When the Company concludes that it controls the good or service before transfer to the customer, the Company is considered a principal in the transaction and records revenue on a gross basis. When the Company concludes that it does not control the good or service before transfer to the customer but arranges for another entity to provide the good or service, the Company acts as an agent and records revenue on a net basis in the amount it earns for its agency service.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:12pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;In the normal course of business, the Company distributes music content on behalf of third-party record labels. Based on the above guidance, the Company records the distribution of content of third-party record labels on a gross basis, subject to the terms of the contract, as the Company controls the content before transfer to the customer.

Cash consideration paid was $110&#160;million which was comprised of the base purchase price of $102&#160;million, as adjusted for final working capital, and cash acquired. The base purchase price included $11&#160;million, which was deferred at the time of acquisition and paid during the fiscal year ended September&#160;30, 2024&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:12pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;The acquisition of TenThousand Projects was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, using the acquisition method of accounting, as the Company had acquired a controlling financial interest in TenThousand Projects. The results of operations of TenThousand Projects have been included in the Company&#x2019;s results of operations from the date of the acquisition. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:12pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;The fair value of the net assets acquired was approximately $19&#160;million and primarily consisted of  royalty advances. The fair value of identifiable intangible assets subject to amortization was approximately $152&#160;million and consists of a recorded music catalog, artist and songwriting contracts, and trademarks which have a fair value of $99&#160;million, $48&#160;million, and $5&#160;million, respectively. The weighted-average useful lives of these intangible assets identified are consistent with the average remaining useful lives of such intangible assets previously acquired by the Company as disclosed in Note 9. The fair value of the noncontrolling interest in the acquiree was approximately $105&#160;million and was determined using the implied enterprise value of the business based on the purchase price. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired, including the amount assigned to identifiable intangibles assets, was approximately $44&#160;million and has been recorded as goodwill.  The resulting goodwill has been included in our Recorded Music reportable segment and the Company&#x2019;s 51% share will be deductible for income tax purposes. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:6pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;At September&#160;30, 2024, the Company updated and finalized the purchase price allocation recorded at September 30, 2023, which resulted in a net decrease to intangible assets of approximately $1&#160;million, a net increase to goodwill of approximately $1&#160;million, a net decrease to other acquired assets and liabilities of $1&#160;million, and a net increase to the fair value of noncontrolling interest in the acquiree of $1&#160;million. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:12pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023, the Company incurred costs related to this acquisition of approximately $3&#160;million, which were expensed as incurred and recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. The unaudited pro forma revenue and operating income as if the acquisition occurred on October 1, 2021 was not material to the Company&#x2019;s reported results for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:BusinessCombinationDisclosureTextBlock>

Under FASB ASC Topic 842, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Leases&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt; (&#x201c;ASC 842&#x201d;), a contract is or contains a lease when (1) an explicitly or implicitly identified asset has been deployed in the contract and (2) the customer obtains substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of that underlying asset and directs how and for what purpose the asset is used during the term of the contract. The Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception of the contract. For all leases (finance and operating), other than those that qualify for the short-term recognition exemption, the Company will recognize on the balance sheet a lease liability for its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease and a corresponding right-of-use (&#x201c;ROU&#x201d;) asset representing its right to use the underlying asset over the period of use based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term as of the lease commencement date. ROU assets are adjusted for initial direct costs, lease payments made and incentives. As the rates implicit in our leases are not readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. This rate is based on the estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar term of the lease payments. The lease term used to calculate the lease liability will include options to extend or terminate the lease when the option to extend or terminate is at the Company&#x2019;s discretion and it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise the option. Fixed payments are recognized as lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For leases with a term of one year or less, the lease payments are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:12pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;ASC 842 requires that only limited types of variable payments be included in the determination of lease payments, which affects lease classification and measurement. Variable lease costs, if any, are recognized as incurred and such costs are excluded from lease balances recorded on the consolidated balance sheet. The initial measurement of the lease liability and ROU asset are determined based on fixed lease payments. Lease payments that depend on an index or a rate (such as the Consumer Price Index or a market interest rate) are variable and are recognized in the period in which the payments are incurred.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:12pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;The Company&#x2019;s operating ROU assets are included in operating lease right-of-use assets and the Company&#x2019;s current and non-current operating lease liabilities are included in operating lease liabilities, current and operating lease liabilities, noncurrent, respectively, in the Company&#x2019;s balance sheet.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:12pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Operating lease liabilities are amortized using the effective interest method. That is, in each period, the liability will be increased to reflect the interest that is accrued on the related liability by using the appropriate discount rate and decreased by the lease payments made during the period. The subsequent measurement of the ROU asset is linked to the amount recognized as the lease liability. Accordingly, the ROU asset is measured as the lease liability adjusted by (1) accrued or prepaid rents (i.e., the aggregate difference between the cash payment and straight-line lease cost), (2) remaining unamortized initial direct costs and lease incentives, and (3) impairments of the ROU asset. Operating lease costs are included in Selling, general and administrative expenses.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:12pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;For lease agreements that contain both lease and non-lease components, the Company has elected the practical expedient provided by ASC 842 that permits the accounting for these components as a single lease component (rather than separating the lease from the non-lease components and accounting for the components individually).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:12pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;The Company enters into operating leases for buildings, office equipment, production equipment, warehouses, and other types of equipment. Our leases have remaining lease terms of 1 year to 19 years, some of which include options to extend the leases for up to 10 years, and some of which include options to terminate the leases within 1 year.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:12pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Among the Company&#x2019;s operating leases are its leases for the Ford Factory Building, located at 777 S.

As of September&#160;30, 2024 and September&#160;30, 2023, the aggregate lease liability related to these leases was $99&#160;million and $110&#160;million, respectively.

Under FASB ASC Topic 842, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Leases&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt; (&#x201c;ASC 842&#x201d;), a contract is or contains a lease when (1) an explicitly or implicitly identified asset has been deployed in the contract and (2) the customer obtains substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of that underlying asset and directs how and for what purpose the asset is used during the term of the contract. The Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception of the contract. For all leases (finance and operating), other than those that qualify for the short-term recognition exemption, the Company will recognize on the balance sheet a lease liability for its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease and a corresponding right-of-use (&#x201c;ROU&#x201d;) asset representing its right to use the underlying asset over the period of use based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term as of the lease commencement date. ROU assets are adjusted for initial direct costs, lease payments made and incentives. As the rates implicit in our leases are not readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. This rate is based on the estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar term of the lease payments. The lease term used to calculate the lease liability will include options to extend or terminate the lease when the option to extend or terminate is at the Company&#x2019;s discretion and it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise the option. Fixed payments are recognized as lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For leases with a term of one year or less, the lease payments are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:12pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;ASC 842 requires that only limited types of variable payments be included in the determination of lease payments, which affects lease classification and measurement. Variable lease costs, if any, are recognized as incurred and such costs are excluded from lease balances recorded on the consolidated balance sheet. The initial measurement of the lease liability and ROU asset are determined based on fixed lease payments. Lease payments that depend on an index or a rate (such as the Consumer Price Index or a market interest rate) are variable and are recognized in the period in which the payments are incurred.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:12pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;The Company&#x2019;s operating ROU assets are included in operating lease right-of-use assets and the Company&#x2019;s current and non-current operating lease liabilities are included in operating lease liabilities, current and operating lease liabilities, noncurrent, respectively, in the Company&#x2019;s balance sheet.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:12pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Operating lease liabilities are amortized using the effective interest method. That is, in each period, the liability will be increased to reflect the interest that is accrued on the related liability by using the appropriate discount rate and decreased by the lease payments made during the period. The subsequent measurement of the ROU asset is linked to the amount recognized as the lease liability. Accordingly, the ROU asset is measured as the lease liability adjusted by (1) accrued or prepaid rents (i.e., the aggregate difference between the cash payment and straight-line lease cost), (2) remaining unamortized initial direct costs and lease incentives, and (3) impairments of the ROU asset. Operating lease costs are included in Selling, general and administrative expenses.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:12pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;For lease agreements that contain both lease and non-lease components, the Company has elected the practical expedient provided by ASC 842 that permits the accounting for these components as a single lease component (rather than separating the lease from the non-lease components and accounting for the components individually).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:LesseeLeasesPolicyTextBlock>

intangible assets and $7&#160;million of non-cash restructuring related to equity awards approved but not yet granted, of which, $54&#160;million was recognized in our Recorded Music segment and $3&#160;million was recognized in Corporate.

The 2023 Restructuring Plan is substantially complete as of September&#160;30, 2024. There was a $1&#160;million benefit associated with the 2023 Restructuring Plan recorded for the fiscal year ended September&#160;30, 2024 primarily associated with a change in estimate for costs previously recorded.

Under this authorization, the Company may, from time to time, purchase shares of its Class A Common Stock through open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, forward, derivative, or accelerated repurchase transactions, tender offers or otherwise, in accordance with all applicable securities laws and regulations, including Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act. The $100&#160;million share repurchase authorization does not obligate the Company to purchase any shares. We may commence such repurchases immediately, subject to compliance with applicable securities laws. We may enter into a pre-arranged stock trading plan in accordance with the guidelines specified under Rule 10b5-1 to effectuate all or a portion of the share repurchase program. We expect to finance any repurchases from a combination of cash on hand and cash provided by operating activities. The timing and method of any repurchases, which will depend on a variety of factors, including market conditions, are subject to our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and other factors. The authorization for the share repurchase program may be suspended, terminated, increased or decreased by the board of directors at any time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:ShareholdersEquityAndShareBasedPaymentsTextBlock>

Santa Fe Avenue in Los Angeles, California from an unaffiliated third party. The building is the Company&#x2019;s Los Angeles, California headquarters and the Company is the sole tenant of the building acquired by Access. The existing lease agreement was assumed by Access upon purchase of the building and was not modified as a result of the purchase. Rental payments by the Company under the existing lease for the 2024 fiscal year were approximately $14 million and are subject to annual fixed increases throughout the remainder of the lease term. The remaining lease term is approximately 6 years, after which the Company may exercise a single option to extend the term of the lease for 10 years thereafter.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:12pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;On July 29, 2014, AI Wrights Holdings Limited, an affiliate of Access, entered into a lease and related agreements with Warner Chappell Music Limited and WMG Acquisition (UK) Limited, subsidiaries of the Company, for the lease of 27 Wrights Lane, Kensington, London, United Kingdom. The Company had been the tenant of the building which Access acquired. Subsequent to the change in ownership, the parties entered into the lease and related agreements pursuant to which, on January 1, 2015, the rent was increased to &#xa3;3,460,250 per year and the term was extended for an additional five years from December 24, 2020 to December 24, 2025, with a market rate rent review which began on December 25, 2020. On June 26, 2023, the parties entered into an extension on substantially the same terms as the current lease for an additional five years with the lease now expiring on December 24, 2030.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%"&gt;License Agreements with Deezer&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:6pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Access owns an equity interest in Deezer S.A., which was formerly known as Odyssey Music Group (&#x201c;Odyssey&#x201d;), a French company that controls and operates a music streaming service, formerly through Odyssey&#x2019;s subsidiary, Blogmusik SAS (&#x201c;Blogmusik&#x201d;), under the name Deezer (&#x201c;Deezer&#x201d;), and is represented on Deezer S.A.&#x2019;s Board of Directors. Subsidiaries of the Company have been a party to license arrangements with Deezer since 2008, which provide for the use of the Company&#x2019;s sound recordings on Deezer&#x2019;s ad-supported and subscription streaming services worldwide (excluding China, North Korea, and Japan (included for subscription services only)) in exchange for fees paid by Deezer. The Company has also authorized Deezer to include the Company&#x2019;s sound recordings in Deezer&#x2019;s streaming services where such services are offered as a bundle with third-party services or products (e.g., telco services or hardware products), for which Deezer is also required to make payments to the Company. Deezer paid to the Company an aggregate amount of approximately $41 million, $40 million and $36 million in connection with the foregoing arrangements during the fiscal years ended September&#160;30, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. In addition, in connection with these arrangements, (i) the Company was issued warrants to purchase shares of Deezer S.A., which it exercised in October 2024 for a small number of shares, and (ii) the Company purchased a small number of preferred shares of Deezer S.A. The Company also has various publishing agreements with Deezer. Warner Chappell has licenses with Deezer for use of repertoire on the service in Europe, which the Company refers to as a PEDL license (referencing the Company&#x2019;s Pan European Digital Licensing initiative), and for territories in Latin America. For the PEDL and Latin American licenses for the fiscal years ended September&#160;30, 2024, 2023 and 2022, Deezer paid the Company an additional approximately $2 million, $2 million and $2 million, respectively. Deezer also licenses other publishing rights controlled by Warner Chappell through statutory licenses or through various collecting societies.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;On April 13, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase 900,000 ordinary shares for &#x20ac;9&#160;million of I2PO, a French Soci&#xe9;t&#xe9; Anonyme and special purpose acquisition company listed on the Paris Euronext Exchange. I2PO merged with Deezer S.A., which was consummated on July 5, 2022. In connection with the merger, preferred shares in Deezer S.A. previously held by the Company were converted into ordinary shares of the combined publicly traded entity. Following the consummation of the merger, I2PO was renamed Deezer. The Company&#x2019;s equity interests in Deezer S.A. are recorded at fair value in accordance with &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:112%"&gt;ASC 321, Investments&#x2014;Equity Securities &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%"&gt;based on quoted prices in active markets.

Such commitments generally become due only upon delivery and Company acceptance of albums from the recording artists or future musical compositions from songwriters and publishers. Additionally, such commitments are typically cancellable at the Company&#x2019;s discretion, generally without penalty. Based on contractual obligations and the Company&#x2019;s expected release schedule, off-balance sheet aggregate firm commitments to such talent approximated $558 million and $383 million as of September&#160;30, 2024 and September&#160;30, 2023, respectively.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%"&gt;Other&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:6pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Other off-balance sheet firm commitments, which primarily include minimum funding commitments to investees, amounted to approximately $79 million and $46 million at September&#160;30, 2024 and September&#160;30, 2023, respectively.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%"&gt;Litigation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:6pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;The Company is involved in various litigation and regulatory proceedings arising in the normal course of business. Where it is determined, in consultation with counsel based on litigation and settlement risks, that a loss is probable and estimable in a given matter, the Company establishes an accrual. In the currently pending proceedings, the amount of accrual is not material. An estimate of the reasonably possible loss or range of loss in excess of the amounts already accrued cannot be made at this time due to various factors typical in contested proceedings, including (1)&#160;the results of ongoing discovery; (2)&#160;uncertain damage theories and demands; (3)&#160;a less than complete factual record; (4)&#160;uncertainty concerning legal theories and their resolution by courts or regulators; and (5)&#160;the unpredictable nature of the opposing party and its demands. However, the Company cannot predict with certainty the outcome of any litigation or the potential for future litigation. As such, the Company continuously monitors these proceedings as they develop and adjusts any accrual or disclosure as needed. Regardless of the outcome, litigation could have an adverse impact on the Company, including the Company&#x2019;s brand value, because of defense costs, diversion of management resources and other factors and it could have a material effect on the Company&#x2019;s results of operations for a given reporting period.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:CommitmentsAndContingenciesDisclosureTextBlock>

However, the Company may choose not to hedge certain exposures for a variety of reasons including, but not limited to, accounting considerations and the prohibitive economic cost of hedging particular exposures. There can be no assurance the hedges will offset more than a portion of the financial impact resulting from movements in foreign currency exchange or interest rates.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:12pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;The Company enters into foreign currency forward exchange contracts primarily to hedge the risk that unremitted or future royalties and license fees owed to its U.S. companies for the sale or licensing of U.S.-based music and merchandise abroad may be adversely affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company focuses on managing the level of exposure to the risk of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on its major currencies, which include the Euro, British pound sterling, Japanese yen, Canadian dollar, Swedish krona, Australian dollar, Brazilian real, Korean won and Norwegian krone. The Company also may at times choose to hedge foreign currency risk associated with financing transactions such as third-party debt and other balance sheet items. The Company&#x2019;s foreign currency forward exchange contracts have not been designated as hedges under the criteria prescribed in ASC 815. The Company records these contracts at fair value on its balance sheet and the related gains and losses are immediately recognized in the consolidated statement of operations where there is an offsetting entry related to the underlying exposure.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:12pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;The fair value of foreign currency forward exchange contracts is determined by using observable market transactions of spot and forward rates (i.e., Level 2 inputs) which is discussed further in Note 20. Additionally, netting provisions are provided for in existing International Swap and Derivative Association Inc. agreements in situations where the Company executes multiple contracts &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;with the same counterparty. As a result, net assets or liabilities resulting from foreign exchange derivatives subject to these netting agreements are classified within other current assets or other current liabilities in the Company&#x2019;s consolidated balance sheets.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:12pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;The fair value of interest rate swaps is based on dealer quotes of market rates (i.e., Level 2 inputs) which is discussed further in Note 20. Interest income or expense related to interest rate swaps is recognized in interest income (expense), net in the same period as the related expense is recognized. The ineffective portions of interest rate swaps are recognized in other income (expense) in the period measured.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:12pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;The Company monitors its positions with, and the credit quality of, the financial institutions that are party to any of its financial transactions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:12pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;As of September&#160;30, 2024 and September&#160;30, 2023, the Company had no outstanding hedge contracts and no deferred gains or losses in comprehensive income related to foreign exchange hedging.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:12pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;As of September&#160;30, 2024, the Company had no outstanding pay-fixed receive-variable interest rate swaps and no unrealized deferred gains in comprehensive income related to the interest rate swaps. As of September&#160;30, 2023, the Company had outstanding $500 million in pay-fixed receive-variable interest rate swaps with $1 million of unrealized deferred gains in comprehensive income related to the interest rate swaps.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:12pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;The Company recorded realized pre-tax losses of $1 million related to its foreign currency forward exchange contracts in the consolidated statement of operations as other expense for the fiscal year ended September&#160;30, 2024.

Information as to each of these operations is set forth below. The Company evaluates performance based on several factors, of which the primary financial measure is operating income (loss) before non-cash depreciation of tangible assets and non-cash amortization of intangible assets adjusted to exclude the impact of non-cash stock-based compensation and other related expenses and certain items that affect comparability including but not limited to gains or losses on divestitures and expenses related to restructuring and transformation initiatives, which includes costs associated with the Company&#x2019;s financial transformation initiative to design and implement new  information technology and upgrade our finance infrastructure (&#x201c;Adjusted OIBDA&#x201d;). Items excluded are not viewed to contribute directly to management&#x2019;s evaluation of operating results. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;During the three months ended December 31, 2023, the Company changed the measure used to evaluate segment profitability from OIBDA to Adjusted OIBDA which is consistent with how the Company's CODM evaluates the results of operations and makes strategic decisions about the business. For these reasons, the Company believes that Adjusted OIBDA represents the most relevant measure of segment profit and loss. All disclosures relating to segment profitability, including those for the fiscal years ended September&#160;30, 2023 and 2022, have been revised as a result of this change. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:12pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;The accounting policies of the Company&#x2019;s business segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies included elsewhere herein. The Company accounts for intersegment sales at fair value as if the sales were to third parties. While intercompany transactions are treated like third-party transactions to determine segment performance, the revenues (and corresponding expenses recognized by the segment that is counterparty to

The fair value should be calculated based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, not on assumptions specific to the entity.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:12pt;text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;In addition to defining fair value, ASC 820 expands the disclosure requirements around fair value and establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. Each fair value measurement is reported in one of the three levels which is determined by the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. These levels are:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:6pt;padding-left:72pt;text-indent:-36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;&#x2022;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;padding-left:32.5pt"&gt;Level 1&#x2014;inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:6pt;padding-left:72pt;text-indent:-36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;&#x2022;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;padding-left:32.5pt"&gt;Level 2&#x2014;inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:6pt;padding-left:72pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:6pt;padding-left:72pt;text-indent:-36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;&#x2022;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;padding-left:32.5pt"&gt;Level 3&#x2014;inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management&#x2019;s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
