Accounts Receivable and Deferred Revenue
The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections affects the recognition of accounts receivable and deferred revenue. See the accompanying balance sheets or Note 14 for accounts receivable and deferred revenue balances at June 30, 2025 and 2024.
Accounts Receivable. Accounts receivable are presented net of a provision for credit losses. The Company estimates provisions for accounts receivable based on historical experience for the respective risk categories and current and future expected economic conditions. To assess collectability, the Company analyzes market trends, economic conditions, the aging of receivables and customer specific risks, and records a provision for estimated credit losses expected over the lifetime of the receivables in direct operating expense.
The Company monitors its credit exposure through active review of customers' financial condition, aging of receivable balances, historical collection trends, and expectations about relevant future events that may significantly affect collectability. The Company generally does not require collateral for its trade accounts receivable.
Credit Risk. Concentration of credit risk with the Company’s customers is limited due to the Company’s customer base and the diversity of its sales throughout the U.S. and Canada. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations and maintains a provision for potential credit losses.
Deferred Revenue. Deferred revenue relates primarily to subscribers to the Starz App, who are billed in advance of the start of their monthly or multi-month membership. Revenue is recognized ratably over each applicable membership period when the Company satisfies the corresponding performance obligation. Deferred revenue consists primarily of customer cash advances or deposits received prior to when the Company satisfies the corresponding performance obligation. Revenue of $26.0 million was recognized during the quarter ended June 30, 2025, related to the balance of deferred revenue at March 31, 2025.
