For the quarter ended September 30, 2022, due to continued adverse macro and microeconomic conditions, including the competitive environment, continued inflationary trends and recessionary economies worldwide and its impact on the Company's growth in subscribers worldwide, the Company began implementing a plan to restructure its LIONSGATE+ business (formerly STARZPLAY International). This restructuring includes exiting the business in seven international territories (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Benelux, the Nordics and Japan). The Company's Starz domestic operations have also been impacted by these current market conditions, and the Company has revised its subscriber growth and forecasted cash
flow assumptions and implemented certain cost-saving measures. Additionally, companies in the media and entertainment industry, and particularly those with significant streaming platforms, have experienced a decline in market valuations, and reflecting this industry trend, as well as potential capital market transactions, and the factors discussed above, the market price of the Company's common shares has continued to decline since June 30, 2022. Accordingly, the Company updated its quantitative impairment assessment for all of its reporting units. In performing its quantitative impairment assessment, the fair value of the Company's reporting units was estimated by using a combination of discounted cash flow ("DCF") analyses and market-based valuation methodologies.

Based on its quantitative impairment assessment, the Company determined that the fair value of its reporting units exceeded the carrying values for all of its reporting units, except the Media Networks reporting unit which was previously disclosed as a reporting unit "at risk" of impairment. The analysis resulted in a goodwill impairment charge of $1.475 billion related to the Company's Media Networks reporting unit goodwill, which is recorded in the "goodwill impairment" line item in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations.
