(1)Corporate general and administrative expenses include certain corporate executive expense (such as salaries and wages for the office of the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, General Counsel and other corporate officers), investor relations costs, costs of maintaining corporate facilities, and other unallocated common administrative support functions, including corporate accounting, finance and financial reporting, internal and external audit and tax costs, corporate and other legal support functions, and certain information technology and human resources expense.

(2)Adjusted depreciation and amortization represents depreciation and amortization as presented on our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations less the depreciation and amortization related to the non-cash fair value adjustments to property and equipment and intangible assets acquired in acquisitions which are included in the purchase accounting and related adjustments line item above, as shown in the table below:

			Three Months Ended												Nine Months Ended
			December 31,												December 31,
			2024						2023						2024						2023
			(Amounts in millions)
Depreciation and amortization			$	43.8					$	49.9					$	135.4					$	138.9
Less: Amount included in purchase accounting and related adjustments			(35.4)						(36.4)						(110.3)						(105.5)
Adjusted depreciation and amortization			$	8.4					$	13.5					$	25.1					$	33.4

(3)Amounts represent the incremental costs, if any, included in direct operating expense resulting from circumstances associated with the COVID-19 global pandemic, net of insurance recoveries (see Note 14). These benefits (charges) are excluded from segment operating results.

(4)Amounts represent rent cost for production facilities that were unutilized as a result of the industry strikes, and therefore such amounts are not allocated to the segments.

(5)The following table reconciles total share-based compensation expense to adjusted share-based compensation expense:

			Three Months Ended												Nine Months Ended
			December 31,												December 31,
			2024						2023						2024						2023
			(Amounts in millions)
Total share-based compensation expense			$	18.4					$	31.7					$	59.0					$	75.3
Less:
Amount included in restructuring and other(i)			—						(6.8)						(4.9)						(8.4)
Adjusted share-based compensation			$	18.4					$	24.9					$	54.1					$	66.9

(i)Represents share-based compensation expense included in restructuring and other expenses reflecting the impact of the acceleration of vesting schedules for equity awards pursuant to certain severance arrangements.

(6)Purchase accounting and related adjustments primarily represent the amortization of non-cash fair value adjustments to certain assets acquired in acquisitions. The following sets forth the amounts included in each line item in the financial statements:

			Three Months Ended												Nine Months Ended
			December 31,												December 31,
			2024						2023						2024						2023
			(Amounts in millions)
Purchase accounting and related adjustments:
General and administrative expense(i)			$	2.9					$	2.8					$	6.8					$	15.0
Depreciation and amortization			35.4						36.4						110.3						105.5
			$	38.3					$	39.2					$	117.1					$	120.5

(i)These adjustments include the expense associated with the noncontrolling equity interests in the distributable earnings related to 3 Arts Entertainment, and the amortization of the recoupable portion of the purchase price ($1.3 million through May 2023) related to 3 Arts Entertainment, all of which are accounted for as compensation and are included in general and administrative expense. The noncontrolling equity interest in the distributable earnings of 3 Arts Entertainment are reflected as an expense rather than noncontrolling interest in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations due to the relationship to continued employment.
