Accounts Receivable, Contract Assets and Deferred Revenue The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections affects the recognition of accounts receivable, contract assets and deferred revenue. See the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets or Note 19 for accounts receivable, contract assets and deferred revenue balances at September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024. Accounts Receivable. Accounts receivable are presented net of a provision for doubtful accounts. 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 performs ongoing credit evaluations and 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. Changes in the provision for doubtful accounts consisted of the following:
|  | March 31 , 2024 |  |  | (Benefit) provision for doubtful accounts |  |  | Other (1) |  |  | Uncollectible accounts written-off |  |  | September 30 , 2024 |

Contract Assets. Contract assets relate to the Company’s conditional right to consideration for completed performance under the contract (e.g., unbilled receivables). Amounts relate primarily to contractual payment holdbacks in cases in which the Company is required to deliver additional episodes or seasons of television content in order to receive payment, complete certain administrative activities, such as guild filings, or allow the Company’s customers’ audit rights to expire. See Note 19 for contract assets at September 30, 2024 and March 31, 202 4. Deferred Revenue. Deferred revenue relates primarily to customer cash advances or deposits received prior to when the Company satisfies the corresponding performance obligation. Deferred revenue as of September 30, 2024 increased as compared to March 31, 2024 due to the receipt of customers’ payments for certain television programs and motion pictures prior to the Company satisfying the corresponding performance obligation (i.e., completion and delivery of the television programs and motion pictures, and the start of the customers exploitation rights). The change in deferred revenue was also impacted by the industry strikes which has affected the timing of content deliveries. Revenues of $34.5 million and $ 108.6 million, respectively, were recognized during the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, related to the balance of deferred revenue at March 31, 2024. | 12.
