The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
−Removed: Goodwill impairment assessment for the streaming reporting unit
−Removed: As discussed in Notes 3 and 8 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s goodwill balance for the streaming reporting unit is $618.5 million as of December 31, 2022.
−Removed: Since October 1, 2022, the Company experienced sustained decreases in its stock price and market capitalization.
−Removed: As a result, the Company conducted an impairment test of its goodwill as of December 31, 2022, estimating the fair value of its streaming reporting unit by weighting results from a market approach and an income approach.
−Removed: The results of the impairment test showed that the fair value was in excess of the carrying value of the reporting unit.
−Removed: Therefore, it was determined that goodwill is not impaired.
−Removed: We identified the assessment of the fair value of the streaming reporting unit for purposes of the December 31, 2022 goodwill impairment test as a critical audit matter.
−Removed: A high degree of subjective auditor judgment was required to evaluate certain assumptions used in the income approach.
−Removed: Specifically, the Company’s determination of the revenue growth, subscriber related expenses and discount rate used in the test were challenging as they represented subjective determinations of future market and economic conditions.
−Removed: Changes in these assumptions could have had a significant effect on the Company’s assessment of the fair value of the streaming reporting unit.
−Removed: Additionally, the audit effort associated with the discount rate required specialized skills and knowledge.
+Added: Sufficiency of audit evidence over subscriber related expenses
+Added: As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company recorded $1,213.3 million of subscriber related expenses during the year ended December 31, 2023, which primarily related to costs for affiliate distribution rights related to content streaming.
+Added: The cost of affiliate distribution rights is generally incurred on a per subscriber basis and is recognized when the related programming is distributed to subscribers.
+Added: We identified the evaluation of the sufficiency of audit evidence over subscriber related expenses related to affiliate distribution rights as a critical audit matter.
+Added: This matter required subjective auditor judgment given the nature of audit evidence over the completeness and accuracy of the subscriber data used in the determination of affiliate distribution rights expense.
The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter.
−Removed: We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls related to the Company’s goodwill impairment assessment process, including controls related to the revenue growth, subscriber related expenses and discount rate used.
−Removed: We evaluated the reasonableness of the Company’s revenue growth by comparing it to historical results, analyst reports and the Company’s underlying business strategies and growth plans.
−Removed: We evaluated the reasonableness of subscriber related expenses by comparing them to historical results and distribution rights arrangements with content providers.
−Removed: To assess the Company’s ability to accurately project revenue growth and subscriber related expenses, we compared the Company’s historical projections to actual results.
−Removed: In addition, we involved valuation professionals with specialized skills and knowledge, who assisted in developing an estimate of the discount rate using inputs from publicly available market data and comparing the result to the Company's discount rate assumption.
+Added: We applied auditor judgment to determine the nature and extent of procedures to be performed over subscriber related expenses related to the cost for affiliate distribution rights.
+Added: We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls over the recognition of costs related to affiliate distribution rights.
+Added: This included controls related to the completeness and accuracy of the subscriber data used in the affiliate distribution rights computations, including relevant general and application information technology controls.
+Added: We developed an expectation of subscriber related expenses related to affiliate distribution rights based upon the change in average monthly subscribers per monthly subscriber count reports and the contractual rate per the affiliate distribution rights agreements and compared the amounts recorded to our expectation.
+Added: We evaluated the completeness and accuracy of monthly subscriber count reports by validating whether certain subscribers were appropriately included or excluded from the monthly subscriber count reports based on underlying supporting documentation.
+Added: We evaluated the sufficiency of audit evidence obtained over subscriber related expenses related to affiliate distribution rights by assessing the results of procedures performed, including the appropriateness of the nature of such evidence.
We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2020.
