Business Combination, Asset Acquisition, and Joint Venture Formation [Abstract]
Acquisitions	Acquisitions On August 25, 2023, the Company purchased 51% of the issued and outstanding equity securities of TenThousand Projects Holdings LLC (“TenThousand Projects”), an independent U.S. record label pursuant to the terms of the unit purchase agreement of the same date among Warner Music Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, TenThousand Projects LLC, and Ten Thousand Projects Holdings LLC. The consideration transferred on the acquisition date was approximately $98 million which was comprised of the base purchase price of $102 million and the preliminary working capital adjustments, primarily comprised of cash acquired, net of a deferred purchase price of $12 million which is payable on or prior to one year from the acquisition date. The deferred purchase was adjusted to $11 million after the finalization of purchase price adjustments, including working capital and other items. At June 30, 2024, the Company updated the purchase price allocation recorded at September 30, 2023, which resulted in a net decrease to intangible assets of approximately $1 million, a net decrease to goodwill of approximately $1 million, a net increase to other acquired assets and liabilities of $1 million, and a net decrease to the fair value of noncontrolling interest in the acquiree of $1 million. The acquisition accounting is subject to revision based on final determinations of fair value and allocations of purchase price to the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired. See Note 5, “Acquisitions,” to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023 for the preliminary purchase price allocation, valuation methodology, and other information related to the TenThousand Projects acquisition.
