報告編制基礎—附註的未經審計的合併基本報表已根據美國通用會計準則(「U.S. GAAP」或「GAAP」)以及證券交易委員會(「SEC」)規定的規則編制,用於臨時財務信息。這些基本報表應當與我們截至2023年12月31日年度報告中包含的更詳細的基本報表和附註一起閱讀。

根據管理層的看法,附表中的未經審計的綜合基本報表反映了所有調整,僅包括必要的正常和重複調整,以公允說明我們的財務狀況、經營業績和資金流動,以供期間呈現。某些先前報告的金額已重新分類以符合當前報告格式。

編程費用
2024年第一季度,在我們不斷審查內容策略的過程中,我們做出了一個戰略性的決定,即專注於受到全球廣泛歡迎的內容。作爲其中的一部分,我們決定優化流媒體服務上的原創內容,特別是在國際上,並提高線性網絡節目的效率。因此,我們審查了龐大的全球內容組合,並從我們的平台上移除了部分內容。此外,我們決定不繼續推進某些項目,因此已放棄了一些開發項目並終止了某些編程協議。因此,我們在2024年第一季度的《合併運營報表》上記錄了與這些行動相關的編程費用。這些費用總共爲$1.12億美元,其中包括用於將內容減記至其預估公允價值的$909百萬,以及用於開發成本沖銷和合同終止成本的$209百萬。
2023年上半年,在將Showtime整合至Paramount+的過程中,跨流媒體和線性平台,我們對Showtime和Paramount+的內容合集進行了全面的戰略審查。此外,爲配合我們的流媒體策略,我們開始審查國際內容合集,並在連接國際業務的合理化和精簡舉措方面對其進行了審查,並關閉或將某些國際頻道全球化。因此,我們改變了部分內容的策略,致使內容從我們的平台中移除或被放棄,發展成本被註銷,分銷方式發生變化,節目協議終止。因此,我們在2023年上半年的合併運營利潤表上記錄了與這些舉措相關的節目費用。這些費用共計$2.37 十億,其中$1.97 十億用於向其估計的公平價值減記內容, $402 百萬用於發展成本註銷和合同終止費用。
對於在每個時期從我們的平台上移除或被棄置的內容,如果有的話,估計公允價值是通過二級市場許可收入的假設來確定的。
3) 減值、重組和與交易相關的成本
暫時減值測試
我們在每年第四季度進行公允價值損 impairment tests, 主要包括無形資產和長壽命的資產,在無限電視 電視 FCC 牌照內部的 除了年度測試之外還在發生事件或情況發生改變,導致報告單位或無限期無形資產的公允價值很可能低於其賬面價值的情況下進行測試。

商譽
商譽在報告單位層面進行減值測試,該層面是一個經營部門,或者在此之下的一個層次。

針對2024年第二季度,我們評估了可能影響報告單元公允價值的相關因子,包括線性附屬市場中的指標以及交易和NAI Transaction指示的估計總公司市值,該交易和NAI Transaction於2024年7月7日宣佈。基於這一評估,我們確定需要爲我們的每個中間商譽減值測試。 五個營運部門:獵鷹創意集團、PDP、Sierra Parima、目的地運營和Falcon's Beyond Brands,所有這些板塊均爲可報告板塊。公司的首席營運決策者是執行主席和首席執行官,他們評估財務信息以做出營運決策、評估財務表現和分配資源。營運板塊基於產品線組織,對於我們的基於位置的娛樂板塊,根據地理位置組織。營運板塊的結果包括直接歸屬於板塊的成本,包括項目成本、工資和與工資有關的開支以及與業務板塊運營直接相關的間接費用。未分配的企業費用,包括高管、會計、財務、市場營銷、人力資源、法律和信息技術支持服務、審計、稅收企業法律開支的工資和相關福利,作爲未分配的企業開銷呈現,成爲報告板塊的總收入(虧損)和公司未經審計的彙總財務報表結果之間的調節項。 在報告單位中

有線網絡報告單位的減值測試顯示需要進行一項普通股減值費用,金額爲$5.98 十億,該金額代表減值測試前這個報告單位的商譽餘額。減值費用記錄在 電視媒體 第二季度的分段中,由於對報告單位預期現金流的下調,主要是因爲以上述線性附屬市場因子及交易和NAI交易所示的估算總公司市值,造成了減值費用。有線網絡報告單位的預估公允價值是基於折現現金流計算的。

(表格式金額單位爲百萬美元,每股金額爲美元)。
流量法。折現現金流法是根據未來現金流的現值估算公允價值,要求我們對這些現金流的時間和金額做出各種假設,包括增長率、營運利潤率和預測期間的資本支出,以及預測期末業務的終端價值。關於未來現金流的假設是基於我們對適用報告單位的內部預測,其中包括我們的長期業務計劃和歷史趨勢。終端價值是使用長期增長率估算的,該增長率基於預期趨勢和相關行業的預測。根據實現未來現金流的風險確定了報告單位的折現率,包括適用於行業和市場整體的風險,以及可比實體的資本結構。對於我們有線電視網絡報告單位的減值測試,我們使用了一個折現率爲 11%,並且終端價值是基於一個長期增長率爲的值。3)%.

剩餘報告單位的公允價值超過其各自的賬面價值,因此無需進行減值損失。 3 報告單位的公允值略低於其相應的賬面值 10%,而剩餘報告單位的公允值大幅超過其賬面價值。

FCC許可證
在地理市場層面對FCC許可進行減值測試。 我們認爲每個地理市場,即在該地理市場內的所有電視臺,因爲在這個層面上FCC許可證代表其最高且最佳用途,被視爲一個單獨的計量單位。

我們的FCC牌照減值測試是使用Greenfield折現現金流法來進行的,該方法通過估算市場相關區間內一家虛擬創業電臺的公允價值來估算FCC牌照的公允價值,在五年的建設期內通過對未來現金流進行折現,再加上剩餘價值進行評估。建設期的假設包括對整體市場收入的行業預測;創業電臺的運營成本和資本支出,這些是基於行業和內部數據的;以及平均市場份額。折現率是根據實現預測現金流的行業和市場風險來確定的,並且剩餘價值是用長期增長率來計算的,這是基於預測的長期通脹和行業預測。

對於2024年第二季度,我們評估了可能影響我們FCC許可證公允價值的相關因素,包括按地理市場進行的預測,並確定了需要進行中期減值測試的情況 我們持有FCC許可證的市場。這些測試採用了 8%的折現率和 0%的長期增長率,顯示了FCC許可證在該地區的估算公允價值 兩個。每期分期付款應於該年的 經過測試的市場價值低於各自的賬面價值。因此,我們在截至2024年6月30日的三個月內記錄了一項金額爲$的減值損失。15 百萬美元,以將這些FCC許可證的賬面價值調整至其估計的總體公允價值。這項減值損失記錄在 電視媒體 板塊主要是由於行業預測最近的下降而產生的。

在2024年第三季度,由於行業預期的長期增長率進一步下降,我們確定我們每個人都需要進行中期減值測試 14 美國聯邦通信委員會許可證書價值的市場,總價值爲美元2.29 在減值測試之前有十億。測試表明,FCC許可證的估計公允價值是 14 市場低於各自的賬面價值。因此,我們記錄的減值費用爲美元104 在截至2024年9月30日的三個月中,100萬英鎊用於在這些許可證中減記聯邦通信委員會許可證的賬面價值 市場按其估計的總公允價值爲美元1.03 十億。減值費用,記錄在 電視媒體 細分市場,主要是由於減少了

2023年9月,我們在到期時償還了我們的$139$百萬的7.875%債券。

商業票據
截至2024年9月30日和2023年12月31日,我們持有 no 優秀的商業票據借款。

信貸設施
2024年9月30日,我們擁有一個高達$的循環信貸額度3.50 億美元的循環信貸額度將於2027年1月到期(「信貸額度」)。該信貸額度用於一般企業用途,並支持商業票據借款(如有需要)。我們還可以自行選擇,在信貸額度下按照規定限額借入特定外幣。信貸額度下的借款利率由每筆借款時確定,並一般基於美國的基準利率或加上一定溢價的適用基準利率(取決於所簽訂的貸款類型和期限,並根據我們的高級無擔保債務評級),美元貸款的基準利率爲Term SOFR,歐元、英鎊和日元貸款的基準利率分別以EURIBOR、SONIA和TIBOR爲基礎。截至2024年9月30日時,我們在信貸額度下有 no 未償還借款,信貸額度可用餘額爲$3.50權益法覈算的股權證券

信安金融授信機構設有一個主要的財務約定,即在每個季度末將最大的合併總槓桿比率(「槓桿比率」)設定爲 5.75x,截至2024年9月30日季度結束時,將減少至 5.5x,截至2024年12月31日和2025年3月31日季度結束時,進一步減少至 0.25x,每個隨後季度直至2026年3月31日季度結束時爲 4.5x,並將在此水平上保持至到期。槓桿比率反映了我們在季度末的合併負債淨額,減去無限制的現金及現金等價物,其與我們在過去12個月期間的合併息稅折舊攤銷前利潤(在授信協議中定義)之比。對於截至2024年9月30日或之後的季度,可以在計算槓桿比率時扣除的無限制現金及現金等價物的最大金額爲$1.50 十億。截至2024年9月30日,我們已滿足該約定。

信貸設施還包括一項條款,即如果帕拉蒙發生控制權變更,則將成爲違約事件,使放款人有權加速清償所有未清償的貸款並終止他們的承諾。2024年8月1日,我們對信貸設施進行了修訂,以及我們的10億美元備用信用證設施(參見注釋14),其中修改了控制權條款和相關定義,以反映帕拉蒙在交易和NAI交易生效後的所有權結構。此外,修訂案增加了可以用於抵扣合併負債計算中槓桿比率的無限制現金及現金等價物金額達10億美元。這些修訂案僅在交易結束後生效(參見注釋1)。1.9 十億美元。這些修訂還增加了可以用於抵扣合併負債計算中槓桿比率的無限制現金及現金等價物金額達到十億美元。這些修訂將於交易結賬後生效(參見注釋1)。3.0 十億美元。這些修訂將僅在交易結束後生效(參見注釋1)。

其他銀行借款
2024年9月30日和2023年12月31日,我們都有 no Miramax的未償付銀行借款,金額爲50 美元信貸額度,截至2025年11月到期。
7) 金融工具與公平價值計量

投資
我們的投資,主要包括對Viacom18的投資,沒有明顯的公允價值,而沒有顯著影響力,其賬面價值爲美元612 2024 年 9 月 30 日和 2023 年 12 月 31 日均爲百萬人。這些投資包含在合併資產負債表的 「其他資產」 中。2023 年 4 月,我們對 Viacom18 的所有權被稀釋了 49% 到 13跟隨其他各方投資的百分比。我們的賬面價值之間的區別 49利息百分比和我們的公允價值 13如額外投資所示,利息百分比產生了美元的非現金收益168 2023年第二季度爲百萬美元。
2024年3月,我們已經達成一項協議,賣出我們 13%在Viacom18的權益給多數股東Reliance Industries Limited(「Reliance」),總購買價格爲 42.86 十億印度盧比。此交易的完成取決於滿足某些慣例條件,包括獲得適用的監管批准和Viacom 18、Reliance和第三方之間的獨立交易的完成。

外匯合約
我們主要利用衍生金融工具來管理我們在外匯匯率波動中所面臨的市場風險。除非有基礎風險,否則我們不會使用衍生工具,因此我們不會爲投機交易目的持有或進入衍生金融工具。

匯率期貨合約主要用於對沖預期現金流,涉及貨幣如英鎊、歐元、加幣和澳幣,在一般情況下爲期長達 24 個月。我們將用於對沖承諾和預測的外幣交易的外匯遠期合約指定爲現金流對沖。此外,我們進行非指定外幣遠期合約以對沖非美元計價的現金流。
2024年8月,在與Viacom18利益出售提案相關,我們簽訂了一項外匯期權合同,以減輕以印度盧比計價的購買價格的匯率風險。 該期權合同具有名義金額 42.86億印度盧比,結算取決於交易的完成。 此期權是一項非指定的套期保值,因此,套期保值的公允價值變動被確認在「其他項目,淨額」中的綜合損益表上。

截至2024年9月30日和2023年12月31日,所有匯率期貨合同的名義金額爲$3.43私人股權和其他投資的金額分別爲52.27億美元和53.98億美元,截至2023年7月31日和2023年1月31日。2.72 億美元,分別爲2024年9月30日的$2.55 億美元與未來生產成本相關,$878百萬 與我們的外幣餘額及其他預期的外幣現金流相關,包括上面討論過的對Viacom18利益出售的款項。在2023年12月31日,$2.20 億美元與未來生產成本相關,$523百萬 涉及到我們的外匯餘額和其他預期的外匯現金流量。

我們相信我們的應計足以滿足未來義務,這是基於我們對可用財務信息、承租人在履行租賃義務方面的歷史表現以及影響承租人業務模式的基本經濟因素的考慮。

其他
在我們的業務過程中,我們既提供又接受擔保,旨在分配與業務交易相關的某些風險。同樣,如果第三方未能履行保證義務下的義務,我們可能繼續爲已出售的業務的各種義務承擔連帶責任。當可能性大且合理可估計時,我們會記錄我們的擔保義務和其他或有責任。

法律事項
普通
我們會積極捍衛自己,在衆多訴訟和程序中進行辯護,並回應來自聯邦、州、地方和國際機構的各類調查和詢問(統稱「訴訟」)。訴訟可能會無端對我們提起,本質上充滿不確定性,總是難以預測。然而,基於我們對相關事實和情形的了解和評估,我們相信以下事項不太可能在總體上對我們的業務、財務狀況和運營結果產生重大不利影響。

與交易相關的訴訟
2024年7月24日,聲稱持有Paramount Class b普通股的Scott Baker(以下簡稱「原告」)在特拉華州法院錢埃裏庭上提起了一起代表性訴訟(以下簡稱「Baker 訴訟」)針對NAI、Shari E. Redstone、Barbara M. Byrne、Linda M. Griego、Judith A. McHale、Charles E. Phillips, Jr.、Susan Schuman、Skydance 和David Ellison(以下簡稱「被告」)。訴訟聲稱在談判和批准交易協議等方面違反了對Paramount Class b股東的受託責任,並提出其他主張。訴訟要求未明的損害賠償、費用和開支,以及其他救濟。2024年11月4日,法院批准了Baker 訴訟雙方提交的一項協議,同意(i)推遲關於駁回動議的審理,直到在解決原告提名Baerlocher Family Trust(聲稱持有Paramount Class b普通股的)爲共同首席原告和Berger Montague PC 爲臨時類別訴訟律師(以下簡稱「領導權動議」)的原告動議後,提交或確定有效的訴狀,以及(ii)暫停發現程序,直到解決與領導權動議相關的任何駁回動議的操作訴狀。

此外,2024年4月30日,Paramount Class B普通股的一名自稱持有人在特拉華州的特拉華州法院根據《特拉華州公司法》第220條提起訴訟要求查閱Paramount公司的賬簿和記錄,以調查我們的董事會、NAI、Shari E. Redstone和/或Paramount的高管是否可能違反了對Paramount股東的信託責任,據稱轉移了公司機會(「220訴訟」)。法院於2024年7月24日就220訴訟進行了審判,並拒絕了查閱賬簿和記錄的請求。220訴訟中的原告隨後對法院提出了異議,此事目前正在上訴中。其他一些自稱持有Paramount Class B普通股和Paramount Class A普通股的人已經遞交了要求調查類似涉及交易中涉嫌違反信託責任的信函,並要求查閱賬簿和記錄。

與股票發行相關的訴訟
2021年8月,Camelot Event Driven Fund向紐約縣紐約最高法院提起了假定的證券集體訴訟,並於2021年11月提出了經修訂的申訴,除其他修改外,還增加了一名指定原告(如本段所述,「申訴」)。該投訴是代表購買公司b類普通股的投資者提出的 5.75% 根據2021年3月完成的公開證券發行,A系列強制性可轉換優先股是針對公司、某些高級管理人員、董事會成員和參與發行的承銷商提起的。該投訴聲稱違反了聯邦證券法,並指控發行文件包含重大錯誤陳述和遺漏,包括涉嫌未能充分披露涉及Archegos Capital Management的某些涉及我們證券的總回報互換交易以及與公司股價相關的涉嫌風險。2021 年 12 月,原告提出了一項規定,要求在不影響的情況下自願解僱訴訟中的外部董事被告,法院隨後下令解僱。同日,被告提出駁回訴訟的動議,該動議於2023年1月審理。2023年2月,法院駁回了對公司的所有索賠,同時允許繼續對承銷商提出索賠。原告和承銷商被告對該裁決提出上訴。, 2024年4月,紐約最高法院第一部上訴庭作出了有利於我們的裁決,維持了初審法院駁回針對公司及其高管的案件的裁決。原告尋求重新辯論的許可,或者就該裁決向紐約上訴法院提出上訴。2024年7月,紐約最高法院第一部上訴庭駁回了原告的請求。

涉及前任業務的索賠
石棉
我們是一家被告,涉及石棉和其他材料相關的各種個人傷害訴訟,據稱是由威斯汀豪斯作爲前身,通常發生在1970年代初之前的各種產品造成的暴露所致。威斯汀豪斯既不是石棉的生產商,也不是製造商。我們通常被列爲州級和聯邦案件中衆多被告之一。在大多數石棉訴訟中,原告並未指出我們的哪種產品是索賠的依據。對我們提出的索賠中,如果已確定某種產品,最常見的是涉及聲稱與渦輪和電氣設備一起使用的含石棉絕緣材料暴露的指控。

索賠經常以集體形式提出和/或解決,這可能導致解決金額和時間以及待處理索賠數量在不同時期出現顯著波動。我們不會報告在某些司法管轄區爲聲稱受到輕微或沒有影響的索賠人設立的不活躍、停滯、推遲或類似的備案等待中的索賠。截至2024年9月30日,我們約有待處理索賠 19,360 石棉索賠,相比之下約爲 19,970 截至2023年12月31日約爲。在2024年第三季度,我們收到了約 750 起新的索賠,並結案或將近 490 起索賠移到不活躍備案。當我們得知法院已經下達駁回令或者我們已經與索賠人達成有關解決的實質條款協議時,我們會報告已結案的索賠。解決成本取決於構成索賠基礎的傷害嚴重程度、支持索賠的證據質量和其他因素。我們在2023年和2022年用於石棉索賠的解決與辯護的總成本,在扣除保險收入後且稅後約爲54萬美元和57 百萬美元。我們用於石棉索賠的解決與辯護成本可能年年變動,且保險賠款不一定會在與支出的保險部分同時期收回。

申請包括針對患有罕見的間皮瘤的個人的索賠,據稱,這種風險是由於接觸石棉而增加的;肺癌,一種可能由多種因素引起的癌症之一是

(表格式金額單位爲百萬美元,每股金額爲美元)。
據稱是石棉暴露;其他癌症和嚴重程度明顯較輕的病症,包括代表無症狀者提出的與疑似石棉相關疾病有關的索賠。針對我們的待處理索賠中有相當數量的非癌症索賠。長期未來石棉責任的預測較爲困難,因爲事件和情況可能會影響估計。當責任已經形成且損失金額可以合理估計時,我們會爲損失準備相應的應計負債。我們長期石棉責任的合理評估期限爲 10 年,該期限是與具有估計石棉責任專業知識的第三方公司協商確定的,這是由於侵權訴訟系統固有的不確定性。我們估計的石棉責任基於許多因素,包括未決索賠數量、每項索賠的預估平均成本、按疾病類型劃分的索賠情況、歷史索賠申請、解決每項索賠的成本和新索賠的提出,且是在與第三方公司協商的基礎上進行評估。未來期間情況的變化可能導致我們實際責任高於或低於我們當前的應計。我們將繼續評估我們的估計並根據需要更新我們的應計。

其他 
我們不時會收到來自聯邦和州的環保監管機構以及其他主體的索賠,主要涉及我們歷史性和前身業務相關的環境清理成本和相關損失,此外,我們不時會收到個人傷害索賠,包括有毒侵權和產品責任索賠(除了石棉)源自我們歷史性業務和前身。雖然我們認爲我們爲這些事項做的應計是充分的,但無法保證未來時期情況不會發生變化,因此我們的實際負債可能高於或低於我們的應計。

事項二管理層對經營成果和財務狀況的討論與分析。
(表格式金額單位爲百萬美元,每股金額爲美元)。
管理就Paramount Global的業務運營結果和財務狀況展開的討論和分析,應當結合我們截至2023年12月31日年度報告中的合併基本報表及相關附註一起閱讀。本文件中對「Paramount」、「公司」、「我們」、「我們」和「我們」的提及均指Paramount Global。

2024年7月7日,派拉蒙與Skydance Media, LLC(「Skydance」)和其他相關方簽署了一份交易協議(「交易協議」),根據該協議,派拉蒙和Skydance將成爲一個稱爲新派拉蒙(「Transactions」)的新控股公司的子公司。與交易協議的簽署同時進行的是,一些現有Skydance投資者的關聯方(「NAI Equity Investors」),包括埃裏森家族成員控制的實體和RedBird Capital Partners的關聯方,與公司控股股東National Amusements, Inc.(「NAI」)簽署協議,購買NAI所有已發行的股權利益(「NAI交易」)。此外,NAI Equity Investors和其他一些Skydance投資者的關聯方將出資高達60億美元投資新派拉蒙,以換取新派拉蒙發行的最多40000萬股B類普通股(「新派拉蒙B類普通股」),按比例減少,每股售價爲15.00美元,而NAI Equity Investors還將獲得購買20000萬股新派拉蒙B類普通股的權證,初始行使價格爲30.50美元 每股(根據慣例防稀釋調整),其行使期限爲發行後五年。最多45億美元的收入將用於資助下文討論的現金股票選擇以及至少15億美元的現金(減去1.875%的認購折扣)將留在新派拉蒙。如果現金股票選擇認購不足,45億美元未使用部分的最多15%將留在新派拉蒙。

交易還包括:(i) 根據一項交易,現有的Skydance投資者將收到31700萬股新Paramount b類普通股,以及(ii) 根據現金股票選擇,除NAI之外的Paramount A類普通股股東持有的股份將按股東的選擇轉換爲要麼23.00美元現金要麼1.5333股新Paramount b類普通股,NAI以外的Paramount b類普通股持有人、NAI股權投資者和Skydance投資人的某些關聯方將按股東的選擇轉換爲要麼每股15.00美元現金(根據比例分配)要麼一股新Paramount b類普通股,以現金解決的股份將在交易完成後終止存在。

交易需滿足慣例的交割條件,包括監管批准,並預計將在2025年上半年完成。上述交易的達成還受到其他各項交易同時達成的條件限制。在特定情況下終止交易協議的情況下,公司將需要向Skydance支付一筆終止費,金額爲40000萬美元。

2024年4月29日,公司董事會成立了首席執行官辦公室,由以下三位受命爲聯席首席執行官的高級公司高管組成:CBS總裁兼首席執行官喬治·奇克斯;Showtime/MTV Entertainment Studios和Paramount Media Networks總裁兼首席執行官克里斯·麥卡錫;以及Paramount Pictures和Nickelodeon總裁兼首席執行官布萊恩·羅賓斯。2024年4月30日,羅伯特·M·貝基什辭去了公司總裁兼首席執行官一職,並從董事會辭職。貝基什先生同意繼續擔任公司高級顧問,直到2024年10月31日,以幫助確保其職責的順利過渡。

截至2024年9月30日的三個月,營業收入下降了6%,至67.3億美元,反映出影院上映、許可和線性網絡的收入減少,部分抵消了由Paramount+的流媒體服務收入增長帶來的增長。

在截至2024年9月30日的九個月中,收入下降了4%,至212.3億美元,這得益於許可、影院上映和我們的線性網絡收入減少。這些下降部分被派拉蒙+帶動的流媒體服務收入的增長以及哥倫比亞廣播公司廣播總收入的2個百分點的收益所抵消 LVIIII 超級碗。我們有權與其他網絡輪流播超級碗,因此在2023年沒有類似的廣播節目。

截至2024年9月30日的九個月,我們報告了54億美元的營運虧損,而去年同期爲85500萬美元。2024年的營運虧損包括11.2億美元的節目費用,總計61億美元的減值費用,以及總計59500萬美元的重組費用和交易相關成本,而2023年包括23.7億美元的節目費用,以及4400萬美元的重組費用和交易相關成本。調整後的OIBDA,不包括這些項目,在我們的流媒體服務取得改善結果的推動下增長了45%,部分抵消了我們線性網絡的下滑。請參閱 非GAAP衡量的調和.

歸屬於嘉寶的金額爲12.9億美元,攤薄後每股收益爲2.04美元,與去年同期相比。這種比較受到上述費用以及其他項的影響,描述如下 非GAAP衡量的調和。這些項目已在歸屬於嘉寶持續經營的調整淨利潤和調整攤薄後每股收益中排除,調整後每股收益和調整後攤薄後每股收益分別提高了75300萬美元,即每股1.17美元,主要反映了2024年稅後調整OIBDA的增加和利息支出的降低。
非GAAP衡量的調和
2024年和2023年截至9月30日的三個月和九個月的業績中包括識別爲影響可比性的特定項目。調整後的OIBDA、調整後的持續經營業務稅前收入、調整後的所得稅負擔、調整後的歸屬於派拉蒙的持續經營業務淨收益、調整後的攤薄後每股收益,以及調整後的有效所得稅率(統稱「調整後的指標」)排除了這些項目的影響,這些指標不是根據美國通用會計準則計算的績效指標。我們使用這些指標來評估我們的運營績效,以及其他內容。這些指標是管理層用於規劃和預測未來時期的主要指標之一,它們是我們運營實力和業務績效的重要指標。此外,我們使用調整後的OIBDA來估值潛在的收購。我們認爲這些指標對投資者是相關且有用的,因爲它們可以讓投資者以類似於我們管理層使用的方法查看績效;提供更清晰的視角關於我們的基礎績效;使投資者、分析師和同行更容易地將我們的運營績效與同行業其他公司和與我們的年度結果進行比較。

由於調整後的措施是與美國通用會計準則不符的績效指標,因此不應將其視爲單獨考慮,或作爲運營利潤(損失)、繼續經營收入(虧損)稅前、所得稅費用(收益)、歸屬於派拉蒙的繼續經營淨收益(虧損)、攤薄後每股收益,和有效所得稅率等運營表現指標的替代。我們計算的這些指標可能與其他公司採用的同類指標不可比較。

在我們決定着重於具有全球吸引力的內容的戰略決策方面,我們決定優化我們流媒體服務中的原創內容,尤其是在國際上,並提高我們線性網絡節目的效率。因此,我們審查了龐大的全球內容組合,並從我們的平台上移除了部分內容。此外,我們決定不繼續推進某些作品,因此放棄了一些開發項目並終止了某些編程協議。因此,我們記錄了與這些行動相關的編程費用。

截至2024年9月30日的三個月和九個月期間,廣告營業收入分別增長了2%和5%,這反映了Paramount+和Pluto TV的增長,政治廣告收入的提高,以及與以前期間國際銷售合作伙伴收入低報相關的金額,在每個期間內確認,抵消了線性廣告市場的下降。九個月的期間還包括了因在CBS播出而獲得的8個百分點的收益, 超級碗LVIII 我們擁有與其他網絡輪流播出超級碗的廣播權,因此在2023年沒有相應的廣播。

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, affiliate and subscription revenues decreased 1%, reflecting decreases of 3% from declines in linear affiliate fees and 2% from the absence of pay-per-view boxing events, which we no longer broadcast beginning in 2024, partially offset by a 4% increase from our streaming services, driven by subscriber growth and domestic pricing increases for Paramount+. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, affiliate and subscription fees increased 2%, reflecting 6% growth from our streaming services, driven by subscriber growth and domestic pricing increases for Paramount+, partially offset by decreases

of 2% from declines in linear affiliate fees and 2% from the absence of pay-per-view boxing events. Paramount+ subscribers grew to 71.9 million at September 30, 2024 from 63.4 million at September 30, 2023.

Theatrical
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, theatrical revenues decreased $269 million and $336 million, respectively, reflecting the number, mix and timing of releases in each year, including the comparison against the releases of Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem in the third quarter of 2023, while the 2024 periods benefited from the release of A Quiet Place: Day One. The nine-month comparison also reflects the success of Transformers: Rise of the Beasts in the prior year.

Licensing and Other
Licensing and other revenues are principally comprised of fees from the licensing of the rights to exhibit our internally-produced television and film programming on various platforms in the secondary market after its initial exhibition on our owned or third-party platforms; license fees from content produced or distributed for third parties; home entertainment revenues, which include the viewing of our content on a transactional basis through transactional video-on-demand (TVOD) and electronic sell-through services and the sale and distribution of our content through DVDs and Blu-ray discs to wholesale and retail partners; fees from the use of our trademarks and brands for consumer products, recreation and live events; and revenues from the rental of production facilities.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, licensing and other revenues decreased 9% and 22%, respectively. The decrease in each period reflects lower licensing in the secondary market and the nine-month comparison also reflects a lower volume of content produced for third parties. Content available for licensing in 2024 was impacted by temporary production shutdowns due to labor strikes in 2023.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Results of Operations and Financial Condition (Continued)
(Tabular dollars in millions, except per share amounts)
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, content costs decreased 8% primarily reflecting lower costs associated with theatrical releases. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, content costs decreased 9% driven by lower costs associated with the decrease in licensing and theatrical revenues, partially offset by costs associated with CBS’ broadcast of Super Bowl LVIII. The decrease in each period also reflects the impact from changes in our content strategy further described under Programming Charges. In addition, content costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, included $57 million of incremental costs incurred to retain our production capabilities for certain of the television and film productions that were delayed as a result of the labor strikes.

Distribution and Other
Distribution and other operating expenses primarily include costs relating to the distribution of our content, including marketing for theatrical releases; revenue-sharing costs, including for third-party distribution and to television stations affiliated with the CBS Television Network; compensation and other ancillary and overhead costs associated with our operations.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, distribution and other operating expenses decreased 6% and 2%, respectively, driven by lower theatrical distribution costs, reflecting the number and mix of theatrical releases during the 2024 periods compared with the same periods in 2023. These decreases were partially offset by higher revenue sharing costs for our streaming services, mainly costs for third-party distribution.

Programming Charges
During the first quarter of 2024, in connection with our continued review of our content strategy, we made a strategic decision to focus on content with mass global appeal. As part of this, we decided to rationalize original content on our streaming services, especially internationally, and improve the efficiency of our linear network programming. As a result, we reviewed our expansive global content portfolio and removed select content from our platforms. In addition, we decided not to move forward with certain titles and therefore have abandoned some development projects and terminated certain programming agreements. Accordingly, we recorded programming charges on the Consolidated Statement of Operations during the first quarter of 2024 relating to these actions. These charges, which totaled $1.12 billion, were comprised of $909 million for the impairment of content to its estimated fair value, as well as $209 million for development cost write-offs and contract termination costs.

During the first half of 2023, in connection with the integration of Showtime into Paramount+ across both streaming and linear platforms, we performed a comprehensive strategic review of the combined content portfolio of Showtime and Paramount+. Additionally, we commenced a review of our international content portfolio in connection with initiatives to rationalize and right-size our international operations to align with our streaming strategy, and close or globalize certain of our international channels. As a result, we changed the strategy for certain content, which led to content being removed from our platforms or abandoned, the write-off of development costs, distribution changes, and termination of programming agreements. Accordingly, we recorded programming charges on the Consolidated Statement of Operations relating to these actions in the first half of 2023. These charges, which totaled $2.37 billion, were comprised of $1.97 billion for the impairment of content to its estimated fair value, as well as $402 million for development cost write-offs and contract termination costs.

Additionally, during the first quarter of 2024, we recorded charges of $31 million for the impairment of lease assets that we ceased use of in connection with initiatives to reduce our real estate footprint and create cost synergies.

The restructuring charges of $54 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were comprised of severance costs associated with initiatives to streamline and transform our operations following our 2022 operating segment realignment and as we integrated Showtime into Paramount+. In addition, during the three months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded a benefit of $10 million for an insurance recovery related to stockholder litigation associated with the 2019 merger of Viacom and CBS.

(Tabular dollars in millions, except per share amounts)
Provision for/Benefit from Income Taxes
The provision for/benefit from income taxes represents federal, state and local, and foreign taxes on earnings (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes and equity in loss of investee companies. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded a provision for income taxes of $45 million and for nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded a benefit from income taxes of $342 million, reflecting an effective income tax rate of 37.5% and 5.6%, respectively. For the three-month period, the tax provision includes a tax benefit of $66 million on pretax restructuring charges and transaction-related costs of $321 million and a tax benefit of $26 million on a pretax impairment charge of $104 million. Our adjusted effective income tax rate for the three-month period was 25.5%. See Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures. For the nine-month period the income tax benefit is primarily the result of a tax benefit of $375 million on pretax impairment charges for goodwill and FCC licenses totaling $6.10 billion and a tax benefit of $275 million on pretax programming charges of $1.12 billion. Our adjusted effective income tax rate for the nine-month period, which excludes the impact from impairment and programming charges, as well as the other items impacting comparability described under Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures, was 21.8%.

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded a provision for income taxes of $40 million, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded a benefit from income taxes of $436 million, reflecting an effective income tax rate of 10.6% and 30.4%, respectively. Included in the third quarter of 2023 is a net discrete tax benefit of $33 million, primarily reflecting the benefit from guidance issued during the quarter by the IRS that resulted in additional foreign taxes from 2022 being eligible for a foreign tax credit, and amounts realized in connection with the filing of our tax returns in certain international jurisdictions. The tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 is primarily the result of tax benefits of $582 million on pretax programming charges of $2.37 billion. Our adjusted effective income tax rates, which exclude the impacts from programming charges, discrete tax benefits, as well as the other items impacting comparability described under Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures, were 19.1% and 20.2% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively.

TV Media also includes a number of digital properties such as CBS News Streaming and CBS Sports HQ.

Direct-to-Consumer—Our Direct-to-Consumer segment includes our portfolio of domestic and international pay and free streaming services, including Paramount+, Pluto TV, and BET+. Effective April 30, 2024, Showtime Networks’ domestic premium subscription streaming service was no longer available.

Filmed EntertainmentOur Filmed Entertainment segment consists of Paramount Pictures, Paramount Players, Paramount Animation, Nickelodeon Studio, Awesomeness, and Miramax.

We present operating income excluding depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, restructuring charges, transaction-related costs, programming charges, and impairment charges, each where applicable (“Adjusted OIBDA”), as the measure of profit and loss for our operating segments in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board guidance for segment reporting since it is the measure used by our management. Stock-based compensation is excluded from our segment measure of profit and loss because it is set and approved by our Board of Directors in consultation with corporate executive management. Stock-based compensation is included as a component of our consolidated Adjusted OIBDA. See Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures for a reconciliation of total Adjusted OIBDA to operating income (loss), the most directly comparable financial measure in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Adjusted OIBDA$936 $1,149 $(213)(19)%
Revenues
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, revenues decreased 6%.

Advertising
The 2% decrease in advertising revenues reflects declines in the linear advertising market, partially offset by amounts recognized during the period relating to the underreporting of revenue by an international sales partner in prior periods and a 4-percentage point benefit from higher political advertising as a result of the 2024 U.S. Presidential election. Domestic advertising revenues decreased 7% to $1.33 billion, reflecting the market decline, partially offset by higher political advertising. International advertising revenues increased 24% to $339 million.

Affiliate and Subscription
Affiliate and subscription revenues decreased 7% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, principally reflecting decreases of 6% from linear subscriber declines and 2% from the absence of pay-per-view boxing events, which we no longer broadcast beginning in 2024, partially offset by an increase of 2% from contractual pricing.

Licensing and Other
Licensing and other revenues decreased 12%, primarily reflecting a lower volume of licensing in the secondary market.

Adjusted OIBDA
Adjusted OIBDA decreased 19%, mainly as a result of the decline in affiliate revenue and lower profits from licensing.

Revenues
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, revenues decreased 7%.

Advertising
The 1% increase in advertising revenues includes a 9-percentage point benefit from CBS’ broadcast of Super Bowl LVIII in the first quarter of 2024 and a 2-percentage point benefit from higher political advertising. We have the rights to broadcast the Super Bowl on a rotational basis with other networks, and therefore did not have a comparable broadcast in 2023. These increases were substantially offset by declines in the linear advertising market. Domestic advertising revenues decreased $10 million to $5.07 billion. International advertising revenues increased 10% to $912 million, driven by amounts recognized during 2024 relating to the underreporting of revenue by an international sales partner in prior periods, partially offset by market declines.

Affiliate and Subscription
Affiliate and subscription revenues decreased 5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, reflecting decreases of 6% from linear subscriber declines and 1% from the absence of pay-per-view boxing events, partially offset by an increase of 2% from contractual pricing.

Licensing and Other
Licensing and other revenues decreased 30%, reflecting a lower volume of licensing in the secondary market and lower revenues from content produced for third parties. Content available for licensing was impacted by temporary production shutdowns due to labor strikes in 2023.

Adjusted OIBDA
Adjusted OIBDA decreased 7%, primarily reflecting the decline in revenues, which was largely offset by lower costs for content, marketing and compensation. The lower content costs were mainly driven by the decline in licensing revenues.

Our subscribers include paid subscriptions and those customers registered in a free trial. For the periods above, subscriber counts reflect the number of subscribers as of the applicable period-end date.
Revenues
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, the 10% increase in revenues was primarily driven by growth from Paramount+.

Advertising
The 18% increase in advertising revenues reflects growth in impressions for Paramount+ and Pluto TV. Higher political advertising sales also benefited the comparison.

Subscription
The 7% increase in subscription revenues was driven by growth in Paramount+ subscribers and domestic pricing increases that we began to benefit from during the third quarter of 2023. Paramount+ subscribers increased 8.5 million, or 13%, compared with September 30, 2023, reflecting growth in both domestic and international subscribers. Growth in Paramount+ subscribers includes the migration of certain subscribers from Showtime’s premium subscription streaming service, which was no longer offered as a standalone service to new subscribers effective July 6, 2023 and was no longer available as of April 30, 2024. The growth was partially offset by a negative impact of 4-percentage points from the absence of pay-per-view boxing events in 2024.

During the quarter, global Paramount+ subscribers increased 3.5 million, or 5%, to 71.9 million, compared with 68.4 million at June 30, 2024, principally reflecting international expansion.

Revenues
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, revenues decreased 34%, primarily driven by lower theatrical revenues.

Theatrical
Theatrical revenues decreased $269 million, reflecting the number, mix and timing of releases in each year, including the comparison against the releases of Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem in the prior-year quarter, while the third quarter of 2024 benefited from the late second-quarter release of A Quiet Place: Day One.

Licensing and Other
Licensing and other revenues decreased 6%, principally reflecting lower revenues from the licensing of recent releases in the home entertainment market and from the licensing of film library titles, partially offset by higher revenue from studio rentals and production services, as the prior-year quarter was impacted by production shutdowns due to labor strikes.

Adjusted OIBDA
Adjusted OIBDA increased $52 million, primarily reflecting impacts from labor strikes in 2023 when we incurred incremental costs as a result of production shutdowns, and studio rentals and production services were significantly impacted.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, theatrical revenues decreased $336 million, reflecting the releases impacting the quarter discussed above, as well as the success of Transformers: Rise of the Beasts in 2023.

Licensing and Other
Licensing and other revenues decreased 6%, primarily due to lower revenues from the licensing of theatrical releases in the home entertainment market.

Adjusted OIBDA
Adjusted OIBDA improved by $89 million, as the decrease in revenues was more than offset by lower content costs, as well as lower marketing costs as a result of the number and mix of theatrical releases during the first nine months of 2024 compared with the same prior-year period.
Fluctuations in results for the Filmed Entertainment segment may occur as a result of the timing of the recognition of distribution costs, including marketing costs, which are generally incurred before and throughout the theatrical release of a film, while the revenues for the respective film are recognized as earned through the film’s theatrical exhibition and distribution to other platforms.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources and Uses of Cash
We project anticipated cash requirements for our operating, investing and financing needs as well as cash flows expected to be generated and available to meet these needs. Our operating needs include, among other items, expenditures for content for our broadcast and cable networks and streaming services, including television and film programming, sports rights, and talent contracts, as well as advertising and marketing costs to promote our content and platforms; payments for leases, interest, and income taxes; and pension funding obligations.

Our investing and financing spending includes capital expenditures; acquisitions; funding of investments, including our streaming joint venture, SkyShowtime, under which we and our joint venture partner have committed to

support initial operations over a multiyear period; discretionary share repurchases; dividends; and principal payments on our outstanding indebtedness. Our long-term debt obligations due over the next five years were $2.64 billion as of September 30, 2024. We routinely assess our capital structure and opportunistically enter into transactions to manage our outstanding debt maturities, which could result in a charge from the early extinguishment of debt.

Funding for both our short-term and long-term operating, investing and financing needs will come primarily from cash flows from operating activities, cash and cash equivalents, which were $2.44 billion as of September 30, 2024, and our ability to refinance our debt. Any additional cash funding requirements are financed with short-term borrowings, including commercial paper, and long-term debt. To the extent that commercial paper is not available to us, the borrowing capacity under our $3.50 billion Credit Facility described below is sufficient to satisfy short-term borrowing needs. In addition, if necessary, we can increase our liquidity position by reducing non-committed spending.

Pursuant to the Transactions, the NAI Equity Investors and certain other affiliates of investors of Skydance will make an investment of up to $6.0 billion into New Paramount in exchange for up to 400 million newly issued shares of New Paramount Class B Common Stock. Up to $4.5 billion of these proceeds will be used to fund a cash-stock election for Paramount stockholders (other than NAI, the NAI Equity Investors and certain other affiliates of investors of Skydance) and a minimum of $1.5 billion of cash (less a subscription discount of 1.875%) will remain at New Paramount. If the cash-stock elections are undersubscribed, up to an additional $1.5 billion (less a subscription discount of 1.875%) of the unused portion of the $4.5 billion will also remain at New Paramount.

Our access to capital markets and the cost of any new borrowings are impacted by factors outside our control, including economic and market conditions, as well as by ratings assigned by independent rating agencies. As a result, there can be no assurance that we will be able to access capital markets on terms and conditions that will be favorable to us.

2023. The increase in operating cash flow from continuing operations primarily reflects lower spending for content, compensation and marketing.
Net cash flow provided by operating activities includes payments of $198 million and $288 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, associated with restructuring, transaction-related costs and transformation initiatives, net of insurance recoveries received related to litigation associated with the 2019 merger of Viacom and CBS. Our transformation initiatives are related to advancing our technology, including the unification and evolution of systems and platforms, and migration to the cloud. In addition, we have adapted our facilities to accommodate our hybrid and agile work model.
Cash flow provided by operating activities from discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 reflected the operating activities of Simon & Schuster, which was sold in October 2023 (see Consolidated Results of Operations Net Earnings from Discontinued Operations).

measures for senior creditors and, as a result of these features, the debentures received a 50% equity credit by Standard & Poor’s Rating Services, Fitch Ratings Inc., and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc.

Commercial Paper
At both September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had no outstanding commercial paper borrowings.

Credit Facility
At September 30, 2024, we had a $3.50 billion revolving credit facility that matures in January 2027 (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility is used for general corporate purposes and to support commercial paper borrowings, if any. We may, at our option, also borrow in certain foreign currencies up to specified limits under the Credit Facility. Borrowing rates under the Credit Facility are determined at the time of each borrowing and are generally based on either the prime rate in the U.S. or an applicable benchmark rate plus a margin (based on our senior unsecured debt rating), depending on the type and tenor of the loans entered into. The benchmark rate for loans denominated in U.S. dollars is Term SOFR, and for loans denominated in euros, sterling and yen is based on EURIBOR, SONIA and TIBOR, respectively. At September 30, 2024, we had no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility and the availability under the Credit Facility was $3.50 billion.

信安金融設有一個主要財務契約,其中規定了每個季度末最高的綜合總槓桿率(「槓桿率」)。截至2024年9月30日的季度,最高槓杆率爲5.75倍,而將在2024年12月31日和2025年3月31日結束的季度降至5.5倍,隨後每個季度減少0.25倍,直至2026年3月31日結束的季度降至4.5倍,並將保持在這個水平直至到期。槓桿率反映了我們在一個季度末的綜合負債淨額(扣除無限制現金及現金等價物),相對於過去12個月的綜合息稅折舊攤銷前利潤(在信貸協議中定義)的比率。從2024年9月30日或之後結束的季度開始,可用於在槓桿率計算中抵消綜合負債的無限制現金及現金等價物的最高金額爲15億美元。截至2024年9月30日,我們已經符合了契約。

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Impairment Tests
We perform fair value-based impairment tests of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives, comprised primarily of television FCC licenses, annually during the fourth quarter and also between annual tests if an event occurs or if circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit or an indefinite-lived intangible asset below its carrying value.

Goodwill
Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level, which is an operating segment, or one level below.

For the second quarter of 2024, we assessed the relevant factors that could impact the fair value of our reporting units, including indicators in the linear affiliate marketplace and the estimated total company market value indicated by the Transactions and the NAI Transaction announced on July 7, 2024. Based on this assessment, we determined that an interim goodwill impairment test was necessary for each of our five reporting units.

In order to test goodwill for impairment, we calculated an estimated fair value for each reporting unit to determine whether it exceeded the carrying value of the respective reporting unit. Approaches used to estimate the fair values were the discounted cash flow method, the traded values of comparable businesses, and the transaction values of comparable businesses. The discounted cash flow method, which estimates fair value based on the present value of future cash flows, requires us to make various assumptions regarding the timing and amount of these cash flows, including growth rates, operating margins and capital expenditures for a projection period, plus the terminal value of the business at the end of the projection period. The assumptions about future cash flows are based on our internal forecasts of the applicable reporting unit, which incorporates our long-term business plans and historical trends. The terminal value is estimated using a long-term growth rate, which is based on expected trends and projections for the relevant industry. A discount rate is determined for the reporting unit based on the risks of achieving the future cash flows, including risks applicable to the industry and market as a whole, as well as the capital structure of comparable entities. Traded and transaction values were determined using comparable company trading multiples as well as multiples from recent transactions of comparable companies. The selected multiples consider each reporting unit’s relative growth, profitability, size, and risk relative to the selected publicly traded companies. We also considered the reasonableness of the market capitalization of our Company in relation to the estimated aggregate fair value of our reporting units.

The impairment test for our Cable Networks reporting unit indicated that a goodwill impairment charge of $5.98 billion was required, which represented the goodwill balance of the reporting unit prior to the impairment test. The impairment charge, which was recorded within the TV Media segment during the second quarter of 2024, resulted from a downward adjustment to the reporting unit’s expected cash flows, primarily because of the linear affiliate market indicators noted above, and the estimated total company market value indicated by the Transactions and the NAI Transaction. The estimated fair value of our Cable Networks reporting unit was based on the discounted cash flow method, utilizing a discount rate of 11% and a terminal value that was based on a long-term growth rate of (3)%.

The fair values of our remaining reporting units exceeded their respective carrying values and therefore no impairment charge was required. Our Filmed Entertainment reporting unit had a fair value that exceeded its carrying value by a significant amount, and the remaining three reporting units had fair values that exceeded their respective carrying values by less than 10%.

The estimated fair value of our CBS Entertainment reporting unit, which exceeded its carrying value by 4% and had a goodwill balance of $5.16 billion at June 30, 2024, was based on both the discounted cash flow method and the traded values of comparable businesses utilizing an OIBDA multiple. An increase to the discount rate of 50 basis points, or a decrease to the long-term growth rate of 50 basis points, assuming no changes to other factors, would cause a decrease to the estimated fair value of the reporting unit of $200 million and $100 million, respectively, and the fair value would exceed the carrying value by 3% and 4%, respectively.

The estimated fair value of our Paramount+ reporting unit, which exceeded its carrying value by 5% and had a goodwill balance of $1.47 billion at June 30, 2024, was based on the traded and transaction values of comparable
-60-

(Tabular dollars in millions, except per share amounts)
businesses utilizing revenue multiples. A decrease of 0.1x to the multiple would cause the fair value of the reporting unit to fall below its carrying value by $299 million.

The estimated fair value of our Pluto TV reporting unit, which exceeded its carrying value by 4% and had a goodwill balance of $1.26 billion at June 30, 2024, was based on the traded and transaction values of comparable businesses utilizing revenue multiples. A decrease of 0.1x to the multiple would cause the fair value of the reporting unit to fall below its carrying value by $41 million.

Certain future events and circumstances, including deterioration of market conditions, increases in interest rates, and unfavorable impacts to the projections used in the impairment tests for the reporting units discussed above, including from further declines in the linear advertising and affiliate markets, an increased shift by advertisers to competing advertising platforms, changes in consumer behavior, a decrease in audience acceptance of our content and platforms, and delays or difficulties in achieving our profitability goals for our streaming services, could cause the fair values of these reporting units to fall below their respective carrying values and a noncash impairment charge would be required. Such a charge could have a material effect on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Consolidated Balance Sheet.
FCC Licenses
FCC licenses are tested for impairment at the geographic market level. We consider each geographic market, which is comprised of all of our television stations within that geographic market, to be a single unit of accounting because the FCC licenses at this level represent their highest and best use.
Our FCC licenses impairment tests are performed using the Greenfield Discounted Cash Flow Method, which estimates the fair values of FCC licenses by valuing a hypothetical start-up station in the relevant market by adding discounted cash flows over a five-year build-up period to a residual value. The assumptions for the build-up period include industry projections of overall market revenues; the start-up station’s operating costs and capital expenditures, which are based on both industry and internal data; and average market share. The discount rate is determined based on the industry and market-based risk of achieving the projected cash flows, and the residual value is calculated using a long-term growth rate, which is based on projected long-range inflation and industry projections.

For the second quarter of 2024, we assessed the relevant factors that could impact the fair value of our FCC licenses, including projections by geographic market, and determined that interim impairment tests were necessary for eight markets in which we hold FCC licenses. These tests, for which we used a discount rate of 8% and a long-term growth rate of 0%, indicated that the estimated fair values of FCC licenses in two of the eight markets tested were below their respective carrying values. Accordingly, we recorded an impairment charge of $15 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024 to write down the carrying values of these FCC licenses to their aggregate estimated fair value. The impairment charge, which was recorded within the TV Media segment, was primarily the result of recent declines in industry projections.
-61-



Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Results of Operations and Financial Condition (Continued)
(Tabular dollars in millions, except per share amounts)
For the third quarter of 2024, as a result of a further decline in industry-projected long-term growth rates, we determined that an interim impairment test was necessary for each of our 14 markets with FCC license book values, which totaled $2.29 billion prior to the impairment tests. The tests indicated that the estimated fair values of FCC licenses in five of the 14 markets were below their respective carrying values. Accordingly, we recorded an impairment charge of $104 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024, to write down the carrying values of FCC licenses in these five markets to their aggregate estimated fair value of $1.03 billion. The impairment charge, which was recorded within the TV Media segment, was primarily the result of a reduction in the long-term growth rate utilized in the impairment tests to (2)%. The estimated fair values of FCC licenses in the remaining nine markets exceeded their carrying values by more than 10%.

A further decrease to the long-term growth rate of 50 basis points, or an increase to the discount rate of 50 basis points, assuming no changes to other factors, would cause the aggregate fair value of FCC licenses to fall below the aggregate carrying value by an additional $67 million and $86 million, respectively.

The estimated fair values of FCC licenses are highly dependent on the assumptions of future economic conditions in the individual geographic markets in which we own and operate television stations and long-term projections for advertising revenues. Certain future events and circumstances, including market volatility and increases in interest rates, or a further decline in the local television advertising marketplace could result in a downward revision to our current assumptions and judgments. Various factors may contribute to a future decline in an advertising marketplace including declines in economic conditions; an other-than-temporary decrease in spending by advertisers in certain industries that have historically represented a significant portion of television advertising revenues in that market; a shift by advertisers to competing advertising platforms; changes in consumer behavior; and/or a change in population size. A further downward revision to the present value of future cash flows could result in an additional impairment and a noncash charge would be required. Such a charge could have a material effect on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Legal Matters
General
On an ongoing basis, we vigorously defend ourselves in numerous lawsuits and proceedings and respond to various investigations and inquiries from federal, state, local and international authorities (collectively, “Litigation”). Litigation may be brought against us without merit, is inherently uncertain and always difficult to predict. However, based on our understanding and evaluation of the relevant facts and circumstances, we believe that the following matters are not likely, in the aggregate, to result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Litigation Related to the Transactions
On July 24, 2024, Scott Baker (the “Plaintiff”), a purported holder of Paramount Class B Common Stock, filed a putative class action lawsuit (the “Baker Action”) in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against NAI, Shari E. Redstone, Barbara M. Byrne, Linda M. Griego, Judith A. McHale, Charles E. Phillips, Jr., Susan Schuman, Skydance and David Ellison (the “Complaint”). The Complaint alleges breaches of fiduciary duties to Paramount’s Class B stockholders in connection with the negotiation and approval of the Transaction Agreement, among other claims. The Complaint seeks unspecified damages, costs and expenses, as well as other relief. On November 4, 2024, the Court granted a stipulation filed by the parties in the Baker Action agreeing to (i) postpone briefing on motions to dismiss until the filing or designation of an operative complaint following the resolution of Plaintiff’s motion to appoint him and the Baerlocher Family Trust, a purported holder of Paramount Class B Common Stock, as co-lead plaintiffs and Berger Montague PC as interim class counsel (the “Leadership Motion”)

(Tabular dollars in millions, except per share amounts)
and (ii) stay discovery until the resolution of any motions to dismiss any operative complaint following resolution of the Leadership Motion.

Further, on April 30, 2024, a purported holder of Paramount Class B Common Stock filed a verified complaint for the inspection of books and records under Section 220 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against Paramount, seeking the inspection of books and records of Paramount in order to investigate whether our Board of Directors, NAI, Shari E. Redstone and/or Paramount’s executive officers may have breached their fiduciary duties to Paramount’s stockholders for alleged diversion of corporate opportunities (the “220 Action”). The Court held a trial on July 24, 2024 relating to the 220 Action and denied the request for the inspection of books and records. The plaintiff in the 220 Action has since noticed an exception to the Court, and the matter is on appeal. Certain other purported holders of Paramount Class B Common Stock and Paramount Class A Common Stock have delivered demand letters to investigate similar alleged breaches of fiduciary duties in connection with the Transactions and are requesting the inspection of books and records.

Litigation Related to Stock Offerings
In August 2021, Camelot Event Driven Fund filed a putative securities class action lawsuit in New York Supreme Court, County of New York, and in November 2021, an amended complaint was filed that, among other changes, added an additional named plaintiff (as used in this paragraph, the “Complaint”). The Complaint is on behalf of investors who purchased shares of the Company’s Class B Common Stock and 5.75% Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to public securities offerings completed in March 2021, and was filed against the Company, certain senior executives, members of our Board of Directors, and the underwriters involved in the offerings. The Complaint asserts violations of federal securities law and alleges that the offering documents contained material misstatements and omissions, including through an alleged failure to adequately disclose certain total return swap transactions involving Archegos Capital Management referenced to our securities and related alleged risks to the Company’s stock price. In December 2021, the plaintiffs filed a stipulation seeking the voluntary dismissal without prejudice of the outside director defendants from the lawsuit, which the Court subsequently ordered. On the same date, the defendants filed motions to dismiss the lawsuit, which were heard in January 2023. In February 2023, the Court dismissed all claims against the Company while allowing the claims against the underwriters to proceed. The plaintiffs and underwriter defendants appealed the ruling, and in April 2024, the New York Supreme Court, Appellate Division, First Department, ruled in our favor and upheld the decision of the trial court dismissing the case against the Company and its officers. The plaintiffs sought leave to reargue, or alternatively, appeal the ruling to the New York Court of Appeals, and in July 2024, the New York Supreme Court, Appellate Division, First Department, denied the plaintiffs’ request.

Claims Related to Former Businesses
Asbestos
We are a defendant in lawsuits claiming various personal injuries related to asbestos and other materials, which allegedly occurred as a result of exposure caused by various products manufactured by Westinghouse, a predecessor, generally prior to the early 1970s. Westinghouse was neither a producer nor a manufacturer of asbestos. We are typically named as one of a large number of defendants in both state and federal cases. In the majority of asbestos lawsuits, the plaintiffs have not identified which of our products is the basis of a claim. Claims against us in which a product has been identified most commonly relate to allegations of exposure to asbestos-containing insulating material used in conjunction with turbines and electrical equipment.

Claims are frequently filed and/or settled in groups, which may make the amount and timing of settlements, and the number of pending claims, subject to significant fluctuation from period to period. We do not report as pending
-63-

(Tabular dollars in millions, except per share amounts)
those claims on inactive, stayed, deferred or similar dockets that some jurisdictions have established for claimants who allege minimal or no impairment. As of September 30, 2024, we had pending approximately 19,360 asbestos claims, as compared with approximately 19,970 as of December 31, 2023. During the third quarter of 2024, we received approximately 750 new claims and closed or moved to an inactive docket approximately 490 claims. We report claims as closed when we become aware that a dismissal order has been entered by a court or when we have reached agreement with the claimants on the material terms of a settlement. Settlement costs depend on the seriousness of the injuries that form the basis of the claims, the quality of evidence supporting the claims and other factors. Our total costs for the years 2023 and 2022 for settlement and defense of asbestos claims after insurance recoveries and net of tax were approximately $54 million and $57 million, respectively. Our costs for settlement and defense of asbestos claims may vary year to year and insurance proceeds are not always recovered in the same period as the insured portion of the expenses.

Filings include claims for individuals suffering from mesothelioma, a rare cancer, the risk of which is allegedly increased by exposure to asbestos; lung cancer, a cancer which may be caused by various factors, one of which is alleged to be asbestos exposure; other cancers, and conditions that are substantially less serious, including claims brought on behalf of individuals who are asymptomatic as to an allegedly asbestos-related disease. A significant number of pending claims against us are non-cancer claims. It is difficult to predict long-term future asbestos liabilities, as events and circumstances may impact the estimate. We record an accrual for a loss contingency when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and when the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The reasonably estimable period for our long-term asbestos liability is 10 years, which we determined in consultation with a third-party firm with expertise in estimating asbestos liability and is due to the inherent uncertainties in the tort litigation system. Our estimated asbestos liability is based upon many factors, including the number of outstanding claims, estimated average cost per claim, the breakdown of claims by disease type, historic claim filings, costs per claim of resolution and the filing of new claims, and is assessed in consultation with the third-party firm. Changes in circumstances in future periods could cause our actual liabilities to be higher or lower than our current accrual. We will continue to evaluate our estimates and update our accrual as needed.

Other 
From time to time, we receive claims from federal and state environmental regulatory agencies and other entities asserting that we are or may be liable for environmental cleanup costs and related damages principally relating to our historical and predecessor operations. In addition, from time to time we receive personal injury claims including toxic tort and product liability claims (other than asbestos) arising from our historical operations and predecessors. While we believe that our accruals for these matters are adequate, there can be no assurance that circumstances will not change in future periods and, as a result, our actual liabilities may be higher or lower than our accrual.
