By the end of the first half of 2023, it was determined that our MTA transit revenue recovery had stalled since our MTA transit revenue did not meet our revenue expectations, and as of June 30, 2023, our revenue pacing and outlook for the remainder of 2023 reflects a continued decline in MTA transit revenues as compared to our 2023 forecast due to the underperformance across the MTA transit system.

+Added: Accordingly, in the second quarter of 2023, we updated our revenue projections to reflect no growth in 2023 followed by 5% to 10% growth throughout the remainder of the Amended Term of the MTA Agreement.
As a result of the reduced revenue forecast and reduced time remaining on the Amended Term of the MTA Agreement, we currently do not expect to recoup any Prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs throughout the remainder of the Amended Term of the MTA Agreement.
−Removed: As a result, we reclassified $385.0 million of Prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs to Intangible Assets.
−Removed: We then reviewed our MTA long-lived asset group to determine if there was a triggering event for impairment, noting that we currently project negative aggregate cash flows of approximately $50.0 million through the remainder of the Amended Term of the MTA Agreement.
