Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract] |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods, functional intellectual property or production is transferred to the customers or licensees, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for transferring those goods. The Company accounts for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance, and collectability of consideration is probable. The majority of the Company’s revenues are derived from sales of finished products to customers. See Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the Company's 2024 Annual Report for the Company's revenue recognition accounting policy. Contract Assets and Liabilities In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into contracts to license certain of the Company’s intellectual property, providing licensees right-to-use or access such intellectual property for use in the production and sale of consumer products and digital game development, location based entertainment, and for use within content for distribution over streaming platforms and for television and film. Through these arrangements, the Company may receive advanced royalty payments from licensees, either in advance of a licensees’ subsequent sales to customers or prior to the completion of the Company’s performance obligation. In addition, the Company’s Wizards of the Coast and Digital Gaming segment may receive advanced payments from end users of its digital games at the time of the initial purchase, through in-application purchases or through subscription services. The Company defers revenues on all licensee and digital gaming advanced payments until the respective performance obligations are satisfied. The Company records the aggregate deferred revenues as contract liabilities, with the current portion recorded within Accrued liabilities and the long-term portion recorded as Other non-current liabilities in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets on the basis of the expected fixed consideration under the contract with the customer. The Company records contract assets, primarily related to (1) minimum guarantees being recognized in advance of contractual invoicing, which are recognized ratably over the terms of the respective license periods, and (2) film and television distribution revenues recorded for content delivered, where payment will occur over the license term. The current portion of contract assets is recorded in Prepaid expenses and other current assets and the long-term portion is recorded within Other long-term assets on the basis of expected receipt of cash per contractual terms. The opening and closing balances of contract assets and contract liabilities are as follows:
| March 30, 2025 |  | March 31, 2024
Assets |  |  |
Balance at beginning of the year | $ | 241.4 |  |  | $ | 213.3 |
Ending Balance | $ | 227.1 |  |  | $ | 219.6 |
Liabilities |  |  |
Balance at beginning of the year | $ | 236.8 |  |  | $ | 230.8 |
Ending Balance | $ | 202.6 |  |  | $ | 231.6 |
For the three months ended March 30, 2025, the Company recognized revenue of $134.7 million that was included in the December 29, 2024 contract liability balance. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized revenue of $22.1 million that was included in the December 31, 2023 contract liability balance. Unsatisfied performance obligations Unsatisfied performance obligations relate primarily to in-production television content to be delivered in the future under existing agreements with partnering content providers such as broadcasters, distributors, television networks and subscription video on demand services. As of March 30, 2025, unrecognized revenue attributable to unsatisfied performance obligations expected to be recognized in the future was $1.4 million. Of this amount, we expect to recognize $1.4 million in the remainder of 2025. This amount includes only fixed consideration. Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses The Company’s balance for accounts receivable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024 are primarily from contracts with customers. A summary of the activity in the allowance for credit losses are as follows:
| March 30, 2025 |  | March 31, 2024
Balance at beginning of the year | $ | 25.8 |  |  | $ | 12.7 |
Provisions/charges to income | 14.6 |  |  | 0.3 |
Amounts charged off and other deductions | (2.9) |  |  | 0.4 |
Foreign currency impact | 0.2 |  |  | (0.3) |
Ending balance | $ | 37.7 |  |  | $ | 13.1 |
Disaggregation of revenues The Company disaggregates its revenues from contracts with customers by reportable segment: Wizards of the Coast and Digital Gaming, Consumer Products, and Entertainment.
