Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies Commitments The Company has certain long-term contractual arrangements that have fixed and determinable payment obligations including unconditional purchase obligations with MVPDs and other providers for set-top box and connected (Smart) television data. These agreements have remaining terms from less than one year to six years. As of December 31, 2024, the total fixed payment obligations related to set-top box and connected television data agreements are $125.5 million and $25.4 million, respectively. The information set forth below summarizes the contractual obligations, by year, as of December 31, 2024:
| (In thousands)
2025 | $ | 40,285 |
2026 | 40,266 |
2027 | 26,135 |
2028 | 15,903 |
2029 | 14,115 |
Thereafter | 14,163 |
Total | $ | 150,867 |
In addition, the Company expects to make variable payments related to a set-top box data agreement totaling an estimated $108.8 million over the next seven years. Contingencies The Company is involved in various legal proceedings from time to time. The Company establishes reserves for specific legal proceedings when management determines that the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is probable, and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company has also identified certain other legal matters where an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible and/or for which no estimate of possible losses can be made. In these cases, the Company does not establish a reserve until it can reasonably estimate the loss. Legal fees related to contingencies are expensed as incurred. The outcomes of legal proceedings are inherently unpredictable, subject to significant uncertainties, and could be material to the Company's operating results and cash flows for a particular period. State Sales Tax Audit In January 2025, the Company received an initial audit assessment from the State of Washington Department of Revenue related to an audit of potential sales tax liabilities in Washington for fiscal years 2020 through 2023. The aggregate assessment calculated by the Department of Revenue, including alleged penalties and interest, was approximately $8.0 million. The Company has petitioned for review of the audit assessment and believes it has a strong position that its activities are not taxable under the applicable terms of Washington law. As of December 31, 2024, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the outcome of the review and the potential liability, if any, that may be incurred in this matter. Other Matters The Company is, and may become, a party to a variety of legal proceedings from time to time that arise in the normal course of the Company's business. While the results of such legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that, based on current knowledge, the final outcome of any such current pending matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Regardless of the outcome, legal proceedings can have an adverse effect on the Company because of defense costs, diversion of management resources and other factors. Indemnification The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with each of the Company's directors and certain officers, and the Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation requires it to indemnify each of its directors and officers, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the Company. The Company has paid and may in the future pay legal counsel fees incurred by current and former directors and officers who are involved in legal proceedings that require indemnification. Similarly, certain of the Company's commercial contracts require it to indemnify contract counterparties under specified circumstances, and the Company may incur legal counsel fees and other costs in connection with these obligations.
