Accounts Receivable Monetization
Under the Company's accounts receivable monetization programs, the Company has entered into individual agreements to monetize certain of its trade accounts receivable directly with both non-related third-party purchasers and Old Lionsgate, as further described below.
Under the accounts receivable monetization programs, the Company transfers receivables to purchasers in exchange for cash proceeds, and the Company continues to service the receivables for the purchasers. The Company accounts for the transfers of these receivables as a sale, removes (derecognizes) the carrying amount of the receivables from its balance sheets and classifies the proceeds received as cash flows from operating activities in the statements of cash flows.
The Company records a loss on the sale of these receivables reflecting the net proceeds received (net of any obligations incurred), less the carrying amount of the receivables transferred. The loss is reflected in other expense on the combined statements of operations. The Company receives fees for servicing the accounts receivable for the purchasers, which represent the fair value of the services and were immaterial for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.
Individual Monetization Agreements. The Company enters into individual agreements to monetize trade accounts receivable.
