AMC Networks Inc.

Note 1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

Description of Business

AMC Networks Inc. ("AMC Networks") and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the "Company," "we," "us," or "our") own and operate entertainment businesses and assets. The Company is comprised oftwo operating segments:

•Domestic Operations: Consists of ourfive programming networks, our streaming services, our AMC Studios operation and our film distribution business. Our programming networks are AMC, We TV, BBC America ("BBCA"), IFC, and SundanceTV. Our streaming services consist of AMC+ and our targeted subscription streaming services (Acorn TV, Shudder, Sundance Now, ALLBLK, HIDIVE and All Reality). Our AMC Studios operation produces original programming for our programming services and third parties and also licenses programming worldwide. Our film distribution business includes Independent Film Company, RLJ Entertainment Films ("RLJE Films") and Shudder. The operating segment also includes AMC Networks Broadcasting & Technology, our technical services business, which primarily services the programming networks.

•International: Consists of AMC Networks International ("AMCNI"), our international programming businesses consisting of a portfolio of channels distributed around the world.

In January 2024, the Company updated the name of its previously titled "International and Other" operating segment to "International" due to the divestiture of the 25/7 Media production services business on December 29, 2023, which was the sole component of the operating segment that comprised “Other.” This update did not constitute a change in segment reporting, but rather an update in name only. Prior period segment information contained in this report for the "International" operating segment includes the results of the 25/7 Media production services business through the date of divestiture.

Basis of Presentation

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AMC Networks and its subsidiaries in which a controlling financial interest is maintained or variable interest entities ("VIEs") in which the Company has determined it is the primary beneficiary. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Investments in business entities in which the Company lacks control but does have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies are accounted for using the equity method of accounting.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements; and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates and judgments inherent in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements include the useful lives and methodologies used to amortize and assess recoverability of program rights, the estimated useful lives of intangible assets and the valuation and recoverability of goodwill and intangible assets.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications were made to the prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition

The Company primarily earns revenue from (i) the distribution of its programming services, through distributors and directly to consumers, (ii) advertising, and (iii) content licensing and other services. Revenue is recognized when, or as, performance obligations under the terms of a contract are satisfied, which generally occurs when, or as, control of the promised products or services is transferred to customers. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring products or services to a customer. The Company’s revenue recognition policies associated with each major source of revenue from contracts with customers are described in Note 3.

Technical and Operating Expenses

Technical and operating expenses primarily consist of content expenses, such as amortization of program rights for original programming, feature films and licensed series, as well as participation and residual costs. The other components of technical and operating expenses primarily include distribution and production related costs and program operating costs including cost of delivery, such as origination, transmission, uplink and encryption.

Advertising Expenses

Advertising costs are charged to expense when incurred and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of income (loss). Advertising costs were $287.2 million, $273.8 million and $241.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity-based instruments based on the grant date fair value of the award, net of actual forfeitures. The cost is recognized in earnings over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award using a straight-line amortization method, except for restricted stock units granted to non-employee directors which vest 100%, and are expensed, at the date of grant. Share-based compensation expenses are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of income (loss).

Foreign Currency

The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of most of the Company's international subsidiaries is the local currency. Assets and liabilities, including intercompany balances for which settlement is anticipated in the foreseeable future, are translated at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Foreign currency equity balances are translated at historical rates. Revenues and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated at average exchange rates for the respective periods. Foreign currency translation adjustments are recorded as a component of other comprehensive income in the consolidated statements of stockholders' equity.

Transactions denominated in currencies other than subsidiaries' functional currencies are recorded based on exchange rates at the time such transactions arise. Changes in exchange rates with respect to amounts recorded in the consolidated balance sheets related to these items will result in unrealized foreign currency transaction gains and losses based upon period-end exchange rates. The Company also records realized foreign currency transaction gains and losses upon settlement of the transactions. The Company recognized foreign currency transaction gains (losses) of $13.3 million, $(7.0) million and $8.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which are included in miscellaneous, net in the consolidated statements of income (loss).

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company's cash investments are placed with money market funds and financial institutions that are investment grade as rated by Standard & Poor's and Moody's Investors Service. The Company selects money market funds that predominantly invest in marketable, direct obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies, commercial paper, fully collateralized repurchase agreements, certificates of deposit, and time deposits.

The Company considers the balance of its investment in funds that hold securities that mature within three months or less from the date the fund purchases these securities to be cash equivalents. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents either approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments or are at fair value.

Accounts Receivable, Trade

The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of valuation allowances for uncollectible accounts receivable using a forward looking expected loss model by evaluating the collectability of outstanding receivables and general factors such as length of time individual receivables are past due, historical collection experience, and the economic and competitive environment.

Rights to programming, including feature films and episodic series, acquired under license agreements are recorded as program rights and program obligations on the consolidated balance sheets at the contract value when the license period has begun, the cost of the program is known, and the program is available for airing. Owned original programming costs are recorded as program rights on the consolidated balance sheets as production costs are incurred.

We amortize capitalized film and television costs based on whether the content is predominantly monetized individually or as a group.

Substantially all of the Company's program rights are expected to be predominantly monetized on our networks and streaming services with other programming and are therefore considered monetized as a group. Licensed and owned original programming, including feature films and television series are amortized to technical and operating expense on a straight-line or accelerated basis based on viewership patterns on our streaming services and the projected program usage of the rights on our networks, over a period not to exceed the respective license periods.

The projected program usage is based on the Company's current expectation of future exhibitions taking into account historical usage and viewership patterns of similar content. The Company periodically reviews estimates of its projected program usage and viewership patterns and revises its assumptions if necessary, which could impact the timing of amortization expense. Any adjustments to the assumptions are applied prospectively in the period of the change.

For content that is predominantly monetized as a group, unamortized costs are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of the group may be less than its unamortized costs. Groups are tested for impairment by comparing the present value of the discounted cash flows of the group to the aggregate unamortized costs of the group. If the unamortized costs exceed the present value of discounted cash flows, an impairment charge is recorded for the excess and allocated to individual titles within the group on a pro rata basis using the relative carrying value of the titles. Program rights with no future programming usefulness are substantially abandoned, resulting in the write-off of remaining unamortized cost.

To a lesser extent, certain program rights are expected to be predominantly monetized individually. These program rights are amortized to technical and operating expense over their estimated useful lives, commencing upon the first usage, based on attributable revenue to date as a percentage of total projected attributable revenue ("ultimate revenue") under the individual-film-forecast-computation method.

Ultimate revenues are estimated based on the levels of revenue generated from similar content in comparable markets, projected program usage, and the levels of historical and expected programming market acceptance. The Company periodically reviews its ultimate revenue estimates and revises its assumptions if necessary, which could impact the timing of amortization expense. Any adjustments are applied prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year of the change.

For content that is predominantly monetized on an individual basis, a television program or feature film is tested for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that its fair value may be less than its unamortized cost. Individual titles are tested for impairment by comparing the present value of the discounted cash flows of the title to the unamortized costs of the title. If the unamortized costs exceed the present value of discounted cash flows, an impairment charge is recorded for the excess. Program rights with no future programming usefulness are substantially abandoned, resulting in the write-off of remaining unamortized cost.

In the normal course of business, the Company may qualify for tax incentives through eligible spend on productions. These tax incentives generally provide for refundable or transferable tax credits upon meeting established levels of qualified production spending within a participating jurisdiction and may be received prior to or after completion of a production. Production tax incentives are included in prepaid and other current assets or other assets in the consolidated balance sheets, based on the timing of expected receipt, with a corresponding reduction to the cost basis of the Company’s programming assets when collection becomes probable, and reduces program rights amortization over the life of the title. Receivables related to tax incentives earned on production spend as of December 31, 2025 consisted of $125.3 million recorded in Prepaid expenses and other current assets and $95.0 million recorded in Other assets. Receivables related to tax incentives earned on production spend as of December 31, 2024 were $182.0 million recorded in Prepaid expenses and other current assets and $42.4 million recorded in Other assets.

Investments

The Company holds several investments in and loans to non-consolidated entities which are included in Other assets in the consolidated balance sheets.

Investments in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence but does not control and is not the primary beneficiary are equity method investments. Significant influence typically exists if the Company has a 20% to 50% ownership interest in a venture unless persuasive evidence to the contrary exists. Under this method of accounting, the Company records its proportionate share of the net earnings or losses of equity method investees and a corresponding increase or decrease to the investment balances. Cash payments to equity method investees such as additional investments and expenses incurred on behalf of investees as well as payments from equity method investees such as dividends and distributions are recorded as adjustments to investment balances. The Company applies the cumulative earnings approach for determining the cash flow presentation of cash distributions received from equity method investees. Distributions received are included in the consolidated statements of cash flows as operating activities, unless the cumulative distributions (less distributions received in prior periods that were determined to be returns of investment) exceed the Company's portion of the cumulative equity in the net earnings of the equity method investment, in which case the excess distributions are deemed to be returns of the investment and are classified as investing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company evaluates its equity method investments for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of such investments may not be recoverable. Equity method investments were $94.8 million and $81.8 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Investments in equity securities (excluding equity method investments) with readily determinable fair values are accounted for at fair value. Gains and losses related to equity securities are recorded in earnings as a component of miscellaneous, net, in the consolidated statements of income (loss). The Company did not have any equity securities with readily determinable fair values as of December 31, 2025 or 2024.

The Company classifies investments without readily determinable fair values that are not accounted for under the equity method as non-marketable equity securities. The accounting guidance requires non-marketable equity securities to be recorded at cost and adjusted to fair value at each reporting period. However, the guidance allows for a measurement alternative, which is to record the investments at cost, less impairment, if any, and subsequently adjust for observable price changes of identical or similar investments of the same issuer. The Company applies this measurement alternative to its non-marketable equity securities. When an observable event occurs, the Company estimates the fair values of its non-marketable equity securities based on Level 2 inputs that are derived from observable price changes of similar securities adjusted for insignificant differences in rights and obligations. The changes in value are recorded in miscellaneous, net in the consolidated statements of income (loss). Investments in non-marketable equity securities were $45.4 million and $43.9 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Long-Lived Assets

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Equipment under finance leases is recorded at the present value of the total minimum lease payments. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets or, with respect to equipment under finance leases and leasehold improvements, amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the assets' useful lives and reported in depreciation and amortization in the consolidated statements of income (loss).

Amortizable intangible assets established in connection with business combinations primarily consist of affiliate and customer relationships, advertiser relationships and trade names. Amortizable intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their respective estimated useful lives.

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected cash flows, undiscounted and without interest, is less than the carrying amount of the asset group, an impairment loss is recognized as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds its fair value. See Note 7 for further discussion regarding impairment tests of long-lived assets.

Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

Goodwill and identifiable intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but instead are tested annually for impairment and upon the occurrence of certain events or substantive changes in circumstances.

Goodwill

The annual goodwill impairment test allows for the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. An entity may choose to perform the qualitative assessment on none, some or all of its reporting units or an entity may bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit and proceed directly to the quantitative impairment test. If it is determined, on the basis of qualitative factors, that the fair value of a reporting unit is, more likely than not, less than its carrying value, the quantitative impairment test is required. The quantitative impairment test consists of a comparison of the estimated fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying value. If the carrying value exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess, but not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill.

Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

Indefinite-lived intangible assets established in connection with business combinations consist of trademarks. The annual indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment test allows for the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value is less than its carrying amount. If it is determined, on the basis of qualitative factors, that the fair value is, more likely than not, less than its carrying value, the quantitative impairment test is required. The quantitative impairment test consists of a comparison of the estimated fair value of the intangible asset with its carrying value. If the carrying value exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess.

See Note 7 for further discussion regarding impairment tests of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets.

Deferred Carriage Fees

Deferred carriage fees, included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets, represent amounts principally paid to multichannel video programming distributors to obtain additional subscribers and/or guarantee carriage of certain programming services and are amortized as a reduction of revenue over the period of the related affiliation arrangement.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company's derivative financial instruments are recorded as either assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets based on their fair values. Embedded derivative financial instruments which are clearly and closely related to the host contracts are not accounted for on a stand-alone basis. Changes in the fair values are reported in earnings or other comprehensive income depending on the use of the derivative and whether it qualifies for hedge accounting. Derivative instruments are designated and accounted for as either a hedge of a recognized asset or liability (fair value hedge) or a hedge of a forecasted transaction (cash flow hedge). For derivatives not designated as hedges, changes in fair values are recognized in earnings and included in miscellaneous, net, for foreign currency and other derivative contracts. For derivatives designated as effective cash flow hedges, changes in fair values are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss). Changes in fair values related to fair value hedges as well as the ineffective portion of cash flow hedges are recognized in earnings. Changes in the fair value of the underlying hedged item of a fair value hedge are also recognized in earnings. See Note 11 for a further discussion of the Company's derivative financial instruments.

Income Taxes

The Company's provision for income taxes is based on current period income, changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities and estimates with regard to the liability for unrecognized tax benefits resulting from uncertain tax positions. Deferred tax assets are evaluated quarterly for expected future realization and reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management believes it is more likely than not that a portion will not be realized. The Company provides deferred taxes for the outside basis difference for its investment in partnerships and uses the deferral method to recognize the income tax benefit from investment tax credits. Global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) tax is treated as a period expense. Interest and penalties, if any, associated with uncertain tax positions are included in income tax expense.

Commitments and Contingencies

Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the contingency can be reasonably estimated. See Note 14 for further discussion regarding commitments and contingencies.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. Cash is invested in money market funds and bank time deposits. The Company monitors the financial institutions and money market funds where it invests its cash and cash equivalents with diversification among counterparties to mitigate exposure to any single financial institution. The Company's emphasis is primarily on safety of principal and liquidity and secondarily on maximizing the yield on its investments. As of December 31, 2025, two customers accounted for 13% and 10% of accounts receivable (short and long-term), and as of December 31, 2024, one customer accounted for 13% of accounts receivable (short and long-term).

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling interest with redemption features, such as put options, that are not solely within the Company's control are considered redeemable noncontrolling interests. Redeemable noncontrolling interests are considered to be temporary equity and are reported in the mezzanine section between total liabilities and stockholders' equity in the Company's consolidated balance sheets at the greater of their initial carrying amount, increased or decreased for contributions, distributions and the noncontrolling interest's share of net income or loss, or an amount reflecting the accretion of changes in the redemption value to the earliest redemption date.

Net Income (Loss) per Share

Net income (loss) per basic share is based upon net income (loss) attributable to AMC Networks' stockholders divided by the weighted average number of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock outstanding during the period. Net income (loss) per diluted share reflects the dilutive effects, if any, of AMC Networks' outstanding equity-based awards and the assumed conversion of the 4.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029 (the "Convertible Notes") issued in June 2024.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, no restricted stock units have been excluded from the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding due to their impact being anti-dilutive.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, all 3.4 million of our restricted stock units and the weighted average impact of 11.3 million common shares related to the assumed conversion of the Company's Convertible Notes were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive since we reported a net loss.

For the year ended December 31, 2023,0.5 million of restricted stock units have been excluded from the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding, as their impact would have been anti-dilutive.

Common Stock of AMC Networks

Each holder of AMC Networks Class A Common Stock hasone vote per share while holders of AMC Networks Class B Common Stock haveten votes per share. AMC Networks Class B shares can be converted to AMC Networks Class A Common Stock at any time with a conversion ratio ofone AMC Networks Class A common share forone AMC Networks Class B common share. The AMC Networks Class A stockholders are entitled to elect at least 25% of the Company's Board of Directors. AMC Networks Class B stockholders have the right to elect the remaining members of the Company's Board of Directors. In addition, the members of the Dolan Family Group are parties to a stockholders agreement (the "Stockholders Agreement") that has the effect of causing the voting power of certain holders of our Class B Common Stock to be cast as a block on all matters to be voted on by holders of Class B Common Stock. Under the Stockholders Agreement, the shares of Class B Common Stock owned by members of the Dolan Family Group are to be voted on all matters in accordance with the determination of the Dolan Family Committee. However, the decisions of the Dolan Family Committee are non-binding with respect to the Class B Common Stock owned by certain Dolan family trusts which collectively own 83% of the outstanding Class B Common Stock.

Stock Repurchase Program

The Company's Board of Directors previously authorized a program to repurchase up to $1.5 billion of its outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock (the "Stock Repurchase Program"). The Stock Repurchase Program has no pre-established termination date and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company repurchased 2.4 million shares of its Class A Common Stock at an average purchase price of $7.29 for aggregate consideration of $18.0 million. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company didnot repurchase any shares of its Class A

Common Stock. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $117.4 million of authorization remaining for repurchase under the Stock Repurchase Program.

The following table summarizes common stock share activity for all years presented:

*Reflects common stock activity in connection with restricted stock units granted to employees and non-employee directors, as well as in connection with the fulfillment of employees' statutory tax withholding obligations for applicable income and other employment taxes and forfeited employee restricted stock units.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued guidance that is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The Company incorporated the required disclosure updates in these 2025 annual financial statements on a prospective basis.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In December 2025, the FASB issued guidance on the recognition, measurement, and presentation of government grants. Under the new guidance, government grants are recognized when it is probable that the entity will comply with the conditions of the grant and the grant will be received. The guidance provides accounting models for grants related to assets and grants related to income, including a requirement to recognize a grant related to an asset as the business entity incurs the related costs for which the grant is intended to compensate, either as deferred income or an adjustment to the cost basis of the asset. The guidance also requires disclosures regarding the nature of the government grant received, the accounting policies used to account for the grant, and significant terms and conditions of the grant. The new guidance will be effective January 1, 2029 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new guidance.

In December 2025, the FASB issued guidance that clarifies the applicability of Topic 270 (Interim Reporting), the types of interim reporting, and the form and content of interim financial statements in accordance with GAAP. The new guidance provides a comprehensive list of required interim disclosures and includes a disclosure principle that requires entities to disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. The new guidance will be effective January 1, 2028, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new guidance.

In September 2025, the FASB issued guidance to simplify the capitalization of costs to develop software for internal use by eliminating the consideration of software development project stages. Instead, costs will be capitalized when management has authorized and committed to funding the project and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform its intended function. The new guidance will be effective January 1, 2028 and can be applied prospectively, retrospectively, or with a modified prospective approach. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In July 2025, the FASB issued guidance that provides a practical expedient for estimating credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under Accounting Standards Codification 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under the new standard, in lieu of developing forecasts of future economic conditions, entities can elect a practical expedient that assumes the current conditions as of the balance sheet date remain consistent for the remaining life of the asset. The new guidance became effective January 1, 2026 and is to be applied prospectively, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect that adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued guidance that is intended to provide investors more detailed disclosures around specific types of expenses in the notes to the financial statements for interim and annual reporting periods. The Company will incorporate the required disclosure updates for the 2027 annual financial statements.

Note 3. Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when, or as, performance obligations under the terms of a contract are satisfied, which generally occurs when, or as, control of the promised products or services is transferred to customers. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring products or services to a customer ("transaction price"). To the extent the contract includes variable consideration, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration that should be included in the transaction price utilizing the most likely amount to which the Company expects to be entitled. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price if, in the Company’s judgment, it is probable that a significant future reversal of cumulative revenue under the contract will not occur. Estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on an assessment of the Company’s anticipated performance and all information that is reasonably available. Amounts collected on behalf of others (including taxes), where the Company is an agent, are excluded from revenue.

When determining the transaction price of a contract, an adjustment is made if payment from a customer occurs either significantly before or significantly after performance, resulting in a significant financing component. Applying a practical expedient in the guidance, the Company does not assess whether a significant financing component exists if the period between when the Company performs its obligations under the contract and when the customer pays isone year or less.

Contracts with customers may contain multiple performance obligations. For such arrangements, the transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based on the estimated relative standalone selling prices of the promised products or services underlying each performance obligation. The Company determines relative standalone selling prices based on the price at which the performance obligations are sold separately. If the standalone selling price is not observable through past transactions, the Company estimates the standalone selling price considering available information such as market conditions and internal pricing guidelines related to the performance obligations.

The Company’s revenue recognition policies summarizing the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty associated with each major source of revenue from contracts with customers are described below.

Subscription

Subscription revenues primarily consist of affiliate fees received from distributors for the rights to use the Company's network programming under multi-year contracts, commonly referred to as "affiliation agreements," and subscription fees for our streaming services. Subscription revenues are earned from cable and other multichannel video programming distribution platforms, including direct broadcast satellite ("DBS"), platforms operated by telecommunications providers and virtual multichannel video programming distributors (collectively "distributors"). The Company’s streaming services are also available to subscribers through digital streaming platforms and our direct-to-consumer ("DTC") applications.

The majority of the Company’s subscription revenues relate to sales-based and usage-based royalties which are recognized on the later of (i) when the subsequent sale or usage occurs and (ii) satisfaction or partial satisfaction of the performance obligation to which some or all of the sales-based or usage-based royalty has been allocated to. Costs incurred for services provided to us by distributors, such as advertising and marketing, that are in exchange for a distinct service are recorded as expenses. If a distinct service is not received, such costs are recorded as a reduction of revenue. Occasionally, the Company incurs costs to obtain a distribution contract and these costs are amortized over the period of the related distribution contract as a reduction of revenue.

The Company's performance obligation under affiliation agreements is a license of functional intellectual property that is satisfied as the Company provides its programming over the term of the agreement. The transaction price is represented by subscription fees that are generally based upon contractual rates applied to the number of the distributor's subscribers who receive or can receive our programming ("rate-per-subscriber"), or, to a lesser extent and primarily in AMCNI affiliation agreements, fixed contractual monthly fees ("fixed fee").

For rate-per-subscriber agreements, the Company applies the sales-based or usage-based royalty guidance, and accordingly, recognizes revenue in the period of the distributor’s usage, based on the subscription fee earned during the period.

Fixed fee affiliation agreements are generally billed in monthly installments, and such amounts may vary over the term of the contract. In cases where the invoice amount corresponds directly with the value to the affiliate of the performance to-date, the Company recognizes revenue based on the invoiced amount. In cases where changes in fees during the contract term do not correspond directly to the value of the performance to-date (for example, if the fees vary over the contract term due to a significant financing or credit risk component), the Company recognizes the total amount of fixed transaction price over the contract period using a time-based (e.g., straight-line) measure of progress.

The Company’s fixed fee affiliation agreements may contain guaranteed minimum fees that are recoupable during the term of the agreement, and variable fees based on rates-per-subscriber after the guaranteed minimum is recouped. The Company recognizes revenue for the fixed consideration over the minimum guarantee period and recognizes variable fees only when cumulative consideration exceeds the minimum guarantee.

The Company's performance obligation in connection with its streaming services is a license of functional intellectual property that is satisfied as the Company provides its programming over the term of the agreement. Subscription fees for the Company's streaming services are typically based on a per subscriber fee and are generally paid by distributors and consumers on a monthly basis. The Company applies the sales-based or usage-based royalty guidance, and accordingly, recognizes revenue in the period of usage, based on the subscription fee earned during the period.

In the first quarter of 2025, the Company updated the definitions of "affiliate revenues" and "streaming revenues." These changes have no effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements or results of operations, or operating segment results. The impact of these changes to historical affiliate revenues and streaming revenues is not material. The new definitions are as follows:

Affiliate revenues: Represents fees received from distributors for the rights to use the Company's programming under multi-year contracts, commonly referred to as "affiliation agreements." Affiliate revenues also include fees received from distributors who provide access to the Company's streaming services to end users through a video package that also includes access to the Company's programming networks. Affiliate revenues are earned from cable and other multichannel video programming distribution platforms, including direct broadcast satellite and platforms operated by telecommunications providers and virtual multichannel video programming distributors.

Streaming revenues: Represents fees for the Company's streaming services earned from the Company's direct-to-consumer platforms as well as through streaming platform arrangements with companies that sell the Company's streaming services on the Company's behalf.

Advertising

The Company generates revenues from the sale of advertising time on its networks. In such arrangements, the Company generally promises to air a certain number of commercials (spots) and to generate guaranteed viewer ratings for an audience demographic (impressions) over a period that generally does not exceedone year. The promise to deliver impressions by airing spots represents the Company’s performance obligation. Advertising revenues are recognized as commercials are aired, to the extent that guaranteed viewer ratings are achieved. A contract liability is recognized to the extent the guaranteed viewer ratings are not met, and is subsequently recognized as revenue either when the Company provides the required additional advertising or the guarantee obligation contractually expires. Generally, payment terms are 30 days after revenue is earned.

Content Licensing and Other

The Company licenses its original programming content to certain distributors, including under streaming and electronic sell-through ("EST") arrangements. For streaming licensing arrangements, our performance obligation is a license to functional intellectual property that provides the distributor the right to use our programming as it exists at a point in time. The satisfaction of the Company’s performance obligation, and related recognition of revenue, occurs at the later of the beginning of the license period, or when we provide the programming to the distributor. The Company’s performance obligation in a content license arrangement pertains to each distinct unit of content, which is generally each season of an episodic series or a film. The Company typically delivers all episodes of a season for a series concurrently and the licensee’s rights to exploit the content is the same across all of the episodes. The Company adjusts the transaction price for the time value of money in cases where license fees are paid over several years. A contract asset is recognized for the difference between the revenue recognized and the amount we are permitted to invoice.

For EST license fee arrangements, the Company applies the sales-based or usage-based royalty guidance and recognizes revenue in the period of end-customer purchases, based on the fees earned during the period.

The Company also licenses trademarks, logos, brands, derivative character copyrights, etc. under multi-year arrangements. Under these arrangements, the Company may receive a non-refundable minimum guarantee that is recoupable against a volume-based royalty throughout the term of the agreement. The performance obligation is a license of symbolic intellectual property that provides the customer with a right to access the intellectual property. The Company adjusts the transaction price for the time value of money in cases where license fees are paid over several years. The Company recognizes revenue for the minimum guarantee on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement, and recognizes variable fees only when cumulative consideration exceeds the minimum guarantee.

The Company’s payment terms vary by the type and location of customer. Generally, payment terms mirror the term of the license agreement and may be in excess ofone-year after satisfaction of the performance obligation.

The Company also earns revenue from production and transmission services. Such services are recognized as revenue as the services are performed.

Transaction Price Allocated to Future Performance Obligations

The guidance requires disclosure of the aggregate amount of transaction price that is allocated to performance obligations that have not yet been satisfied as of December 31, 2025. However, the guidance does not apply to sales-based or usage-based royalty arrangements and also provides certain practical expedients that allow companies to omit this disclosure requirement for (i) contracts with an original expected length ofone year or less, (ii) contracts for which revenue is recognized at the amount to which the Company has the right to invoice for services performed and (iii) variable consideration related to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation.

As of December 31, 2025, other than contracts for which the Company has applied the practical expedients, the aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was not materialto our consolidated revenues.

Contract Balances from Contracts with Customers

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed receivables, contract assets and contract liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

For certain types of contracts with customers, the Company may recognize revenue in advance of the contractual right to invoice the customer, and that right is conditional upon something other than the passage of time, resulting in an amount recorded to contract assets. Once the Company has an unconditional right to consideration under a contract, the contract assets are reclassified to accounts receivable. The Company hadno contract assets as of December 31, 2025 or 2024.

When consideration is received, or such consideration is unconditionally due, from a customer prior to transferring goods or services to the customer under the terms of a contract, a contract liability is recorded. Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue when, or as, control of the products or services is transferred to the customer and all revenue recognition criteria have been met. The primary source of the Company’s contract liabilities relates to advertising sales arrangements where the guaranteed viewer ratings are not met, and for advanced payments related to our streaming services subscriptions.

The following table provides information about receivables and contract liabilities from contracts with customers.

Revenue recognized for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, relating to the contract liabilities at the beginning of the respective periods was $47.2 million, $50.5 million and $111.4 million, respectively.

During 2024, we recognized revenues of $20.8 million for retroactive adjustments reported by a third party, for which our performance obligation was satisfied in a prior period.

In October 2023, the Company entered into an agreement enabling it to sell certain customer receivables to a financial institution on a recurring basis for cash. The transferred receivables will be fully guaranteed by a bankruptcy-remote entity and the financial institution that purchases the receivables will have no recourse to the Company's other assets in the event of non-payment by the customers. The Company can sell an indefinite amount of customer receivables under the agreement on a revolving basis, but the outstanding balance of unpaid customer receivables to the financial institution cannot exceed the initial program limit of$125.0 million at any given time. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had not yet sold any customer receivables under this agreement.

Note 4. Restructuring and Other Related Charges

Restructuring and other related charges were$26.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, with $17.5 million related to the Company's restructuring plan in its International segment ("AMCNI Plan") designed to achieve cost reductions and streamline operations including channel re-branding and a reduction of workforce in Southern Europe, the wind-down of a

U.K. joint venture and a voluntary buyout program for employees in Argentina. The Company will incur additional restructuring charges in connection with the AMCNI Plan, which is expected to be substantially completed in the first half of 2026.

In October 2025, the Company announced a voluntary buyout program for U.S. employees, which is expected to result in modifications to the organizational structure of the Company and reduced employee costs. In connection with this program, the Company recognized $11.9 million of severance charges during the fourth quarter of 2025 and expects to recognize approximately $5 million of additional severance charges in 2026 for individuals providing ongoing service subsequent to December 31, 2025.

The above charges were partially offset by a credit to restructuring expense in connection with the portion of office space that the Company previously vacated in 2023, as further discussed in Note 12 - Leases.

Restructuring and other related charges were $49.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, consisting of $44.2 million of content impairments and $5.3 million of severance and employee-related costs. Following the purchase of the remaining interest in BBCA in November 2024, the Company completed a strategic programming assessment and recorded a restructuring charge of $43.2 million pertaining to certain scripted original programming that no longer aligned with the channel's go-forward strategy. The remaining content impairments were recorded in connection with We TV shifting to a reduced originals strategy.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company completeda restructuring plan (the "2022 Plan") that commenced on November 28, 2022. The 2022 Plan was designed toachieve significant cost reductions in light of “cord cutting” and the related impacts being felt across the media industry as well as the broader economic outlook. The 2022 Plan encompassed initiatives that included, among other things, strategic programming assessments and organizational restructuring costs. The 2022 Plan was intended to improve the organizational design of the Company through the elimination of certain roles and centralization of certain functional areas of the Company. The programming assessments pertained to a broad mix of owned and licensed content, including legacy television series and films that will no longer be in active rotation on the Company’s linear or streaming platforms.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded restructuring and other related charges of $27.8 million related to the 2022 Plan, consisting primarily of charges relating to severance and other personnel costs, and its third quarter exiting of a portion of office space at its corporate headquarters in New York and office space in Silver Spring, Maryland and Woodland Hills, California. In connection with exiting a portion of its New York office space, the Company recorded impairment charges of $11.6 million, consisting of $9.1 million for operating lease right-of use assets and $2.5 million for leasehold improvements. Fair values used to determine the impairment charge were determined using an income approach, specifically a discounted cash flow ("DCF") model. The DCF model includes significant assumptions about sublease income and enterprise specific discount rates. Given the uncertainty in determining assumptions underlying the DCF approach, actual results may differ from those used in the valuations.

The following table summarizes the restructuring and other related charges recognized by operating segment:

Restructuring and other related charges (credits) that were not allocated to operating segments were ($0.6) million, $0.1 million and $20.5 million, for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The following table summarizes the accrued restructuring and other related costs:

Accrued restructuring and other related costs of $16.4 million and $6.2 million are included in Accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Note 5. Program Rights and Obligations

Total capitalized produced and licensed content by predominant monetization strategy is as follows:

Amortization, including write-offs, of owned and licensed program rights is as follows:

For the year ended December 31, 2025, write-offs of owned original program rights and licensed program rights, included inrestructuring and other related charges, were $0.7 million and $6.0 million, respectively, all of which were predominately monetized as a group.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, write-offs of owned original program rights and licensed program rights, included inrestructuring and other related charges, were $38.3 million and $5.9 million, respectively, all of which were predominately monetized as a group.

The following table presents the expected amortization over each of the next three years of completed program rights on the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2025:

There wereno material write-offs included in technical and operating expense for the year ended December 31, 2025. Program rights write-offs for programming that was substantively abandoned of $20.7 million and $17.3 million were included in technical and operating expense for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2025, there were $6.7 million of program write-offs recorded to restructuring and other related charges, primarily related to the wind-down of a U.K. joint venture, and for the year ended December 31, 2024, there were $44.2 million of program write-offs recorded to restructuring and other related charges in connection with the Company’s strategic programming assessments following the purchase of the remaining interest in BBCA. There wereno program write-offs recorded to restructuring and other related chargesfor the year ended December 31, 2023. See Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Program Rights Obligations

Amounts payable subsequent to December 31, 2025 related to program rights obligations included in the consolidated balance sheets are as follows:

Note 6. Property and Equipment

Property and equipment (including equipment under finance leases) consists of the following:

Depreciation and amortization expenses on property and equipment (including equipment under finance leases) amounted to $63.5 million, $64.1 million and $66.9 million, for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the gross amount of equipment and related accumulated amortization recorded under finance leases were as follows:

Note 7. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The carrying amount of goodwill, by operating segment is as follows:

As of December 31, 2025, accumulated impairment charges totaled $649.6 million, with $268.7 million attributed to the Domestic Operations operating segment and $380.9 million attributed to the International operating segment. As of December 31, 2024, accumulated impairment charges totaled $556.2 million, with $268.7 million attributed to the Domestic Operations operating segment and $287.5 million attributed to the International operating segment. The amounts attributed to the International operating segment are inclusive of the 25/7 Media impairment charges recorded in 2023 prior to the divestiture of that business in December 2023.

Impairment Test of Goodwill

Goodwill is not amortized, but instead is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level annually as of December 1, or more frequently upon the occurrence of certain events or substantive changes in circumstances.

As of December 1, 2025, the Company performed a quantitative assessment for all of its reporting units. Based on the valuations performed, the Company concluded that the estimated fair value of the AMCNI reporting unit declined to less than its carrying amount. The decrease in the estimated fair value reflects current and expected trends across the media industry, including continued softness across the international television broadcasting markets resulting in lower expected future cash flows incorporated into the fourth quarter preparation of the Company's budget and long-range plan, as well as a decrease in the valuation multiples used to estimate fair value using the market approach. As a result, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $93.4 million related to the AMCNI reporting unit, included in Impairment and other charges in the consolidated statements of income (loss). For the Domestic Operations reporting unit, the Company concluded that the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeded its respective carrying value by 6%, and therefore no impairment charge was required. The fair value estimate for the Domestic Operations reporting unit is sensitive to assumptions regarding future growth rates and the weighted-average cost of capital ("WACC"). A decrease in the expected annual growth rate or an increase in the WACC would make it reasonably possible that the Company could record an impairment charge in future periods.

As of December 1, 2024, the Company performed a quantitative assessment for all of its reporting units. Based on the valuations performed, the Company concluded that the estimated fair value of the Domestic Operations and AMCNI reporting units declined to less than their carrying amounts. The decrease in the estimated fair values reflect current and expected trends across the media industry, including continued softness in the domestic linear marketplace and across the international television broadcasting markets resulting in lower expected future cash flows, as well as a decrease in the valuation multiples used to estimate the fair values using the market approach for the Domestic Operations reporting unit. As a result, the Company recognized impairment charges of $268.7 million and $34.0 million related to the Domestic Operations and AMCNI reporting units, respectively, included in Impairment and other charges in the consolidated statements of income (loss).

Additionally, during the second quarter of 2024, the Company determined that a triggering event had occurred with respect to the Company's decline in stock price, which required an interim goodwill impairment test to be performed. Accordingly, the Company performed quantitative assessments for all reporting units. Based on the valuations performed, the Company concluded that the estimated fair value of the AMCNI reporting unit declined to less than its carrying amount. As a result, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $68.0 million related to the AMCNI reporting unit, included in Impairment and other charges in the consolidated statements of income (loss).

As of December 1, 2023, the Company performed a quantitative assessment for all of its reporting units. Based on the valuations performed, the Company concluded that the estimated fair value of the 25/7 Media reporting unit further declined from the interim assessment performed (as described below). The decrease in the estimated fair value reflected the continued decline in market conditions and business outlook and contemplation of concurrent negotiations with the noncontrolling interest holders for the sale of the Company's remaining interest. As a result, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $19.8 million related to the 25/7 Media reporting unit, reflecting a write-down of substantially all of the goodwill associated with the 25/7 Media reporting unit. The remaining $2.4 million of goodwill was eliminated upon the sale of the Company's remaining interest. The impairment charge was included in Impairment and other charges in the consolidated statements of income (loss), within the International operating segment. No impairment charges were required for any of the Company's other reporting units.

During the second quarter of 2023, the Company determined that a triggering event had occurred with respect to the 25/7 Media reporting unit in the International segment, which required an interim goodwill impairment test to be performed. Accordingly, the Company performed a quantitative assessment using an income approach, specifically a DCF, and a market comparables approach. Based on the valuations performed, a $1.9 million goodwill impairment charge was recorded, which is included in Impairment and other charges in the consolidated statements of income (loss), within the International operating segment.

The fair values outlined above were all determined using a combination of an income approach, using a DCF, and a market comparables approach. The DCF model includes significant assumptions about revenue growth rates, long-term growth rates and enterprise specific discount rates. Additionally, the market comparables approach is determined using guideline company valuation multiples. Given the uncertainty in determining assumptions underlying the DCF approach, actual results may differ from those used in the valuations.

The determination of fair value of the Company's reporting units represents a Level 3 fair value measurement in the fair value hierarchy due to its use of internal projections and unobservable measurement inputs. Changes in significant judgments and estimates could significantly impact the concluded fair value of the reporting unit. Changes to assumptions that would decrease the fair value of the reporting unit would result in corresponding increases to the impairment of goodwill at the reporting unit.

The following table summarizes information relating to the Company's identifiable intangible assets:

Excluding impairment charges (as described below), aggregate amortization expense for amortizable intangible assets for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $31.0 million, $33.9 million and $40.5 million, respectively.

Estimated aggregate amortization expense for intangible assets subject to amortization for each of the following five years is:

Impairment Test of Identifiable Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

As of December 1, 2025, the Company performed a quantitative assessment for its indefinite-lived intangible assets. Based on the annual impairment test performed, the Company recorded a $4.4 million impairment charge in its Domestic Operations operating segment related to its SundanceTV trademarks, which were valued using a relief-from-royalty method in which the expected benefits are valued by discounting estimated royalty revenue relating to projected revenues covered by the trademarks.

Significant judgments inherent in estimating the fair value of indefinite-lived intangible assets include the selection of appropriate discount and royalty rates, estimating the amount and timing of future revenues and identification of appropriate continuing growth rate assumptions. The discount rates used in the analysis are intended to reflect the risk inherent in the projected future cash flows generated by the respective intangible assets.

Impairment Test of Long-Lived Assets

During 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded long-lived assets impairment charges for partially owned consolidated subsidiaries, BBCA and 25/7 Media, of $71.6 million and $23.0 million, respectively. No impairment charges for long-lived assets were required in 2025.

BBCA

During the second quarter of 2024, given continued market challenges and linear declines, the Company determined that sufficient indicators of potential impairment of long-lived assets existed at BBCA, and concluded that the carrying amount of the BBCA asset group was not recoverable. The carrying value of the BBCA asset group exceeded its fair value, and accordingly an impairment charge of $15.7 million was recorded for identifiable intangible assets and $13.5 million for other long-lived assets, which is included in Impairment and other charges in the consolidated statements of income (loss) within the Domestic Operations operating segment. Fair values were determined using a market approach.

During the fourth quarter of 2023, given continued market challenges and linear declines, the Company revised its outlook for its BBCA linear programming network, resulting in lower expected future cash flows. As a result, the Company determined that sufficient indicators of potential impairment of long-lived assets existed at BBCA. The Company performed a recoverability test and determined that the carrying amount of the BBCA asset group was not recoverable. The carrying value of the asset group exceeded its fair value, therefore an impairment charge of $42.4 million was recorded for identifiable intangible assets and other long-lived assets, which is included in Impairment and other charges in the consolidated statements of income (loss) within the Domestic Operations operating segment. Fair values used to determine the impairment charge were determined using an income approach, specifically a DCF model. The DCF model includes significant assumptions about revenue growth rates, long-term growth rates and enterprise specific discount rates. Given the uncertainty in determining assumptions underlying the DCF approach, actual results may differ from those used in the valuations.

25/7 Media

During the second quarter of 2023, given the impact of market challenges at 25/7 Media, specifically relating to reduced demand for new content and series cancellations from third parties, the Company revised its outlook for the 25/7 Media production services business, resulting in lower expected future cash flows. As a result, the Company determined that sufficient indicators of potential impairment of long-lived assets existed at 25/7 Media. The Company performed a recoverability test and determined that the carrying amount of the 25/7 Media asset group was not recoverable. The carrying value of the asset group exceeded its fair value, therefore an impairment charge of $23.0 million was recorded for identifiable intangible assets, which is included in Impairment and other charges in the consolidated statements of income (loss) within the International operating segment. Fair values used to determine the impairment charge were determined using an income approach, specifically a DCF model, and a market comparables approach. The DCF model includes significant assumptions about revenue growth rates, long-term growth rates and enterprise specific discount rates. Given the uncertainty in determining assumptions underlying the DCF approach, actual results may differ from those used in the valuations.

Amendment No. 5 - 2025

On October 29, 2025, the Company entered into Amendment No. 5 (“Amendment No. 5”) to the Credit Agreement. The Company continues to maintain $175.0 million of commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility. Pursuant to Amendment No. 5, the maturity date of $111.8 million of such commitments was extended to the earlier of (i) October 29, 2030 and (ii) the date that is 90 days prior to the maturity date of any capital markets indebtedness of AMC Networks Inc. with an aggregate outstanding principal amount exceeding $50.0 million.

The remaining $85.6 million principal amount, $2.8 million of which was subsequently repaid during the fourth quarter of 2025 in accordance with the revised contractual payment schedule, retained their existing maturity date of April 9, 2028. In connection with the $165.7 million partial prepayment of the Term Loan A Facility and the modification of the revolving loan commitments, the Company recorded a charge of $1.3 million to write off a portion of the unamortized discount and deferred financing costs associated with the Credit Agreement, which is included in Gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt, net within the consolidated statements of income (loss).

Amendment No. 5 also includes certain other modifications to covenants and other provisions of the Credit Agreement, including a reduction in the minimum interest coverage ratio from 2.00:1.00 to 1.50:1.00, with a step-up to 1.75:1.00 for fiscal quarters ending on or after December 31, 2028.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, and prior to the execution of Amendment No. 5, the Company voluntarily prepaid the remaining $90.0 million of borrowings under the Term Loan A Facility consisting of the non-extended portion originally due in February 2026, $20.0 million of which was paid in May 2025 and the remaining $70.0 million of which was paid in July 2025. In connection with the voluntary prepayments, the Company recorded a charge of $0.4 million to write-off a portion of the unamortized discount and deferred financing costs associated with the Term Loan A Facility consisting of the non-extended portion originally due in February 2026, which is included in Gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt, net in the consolidated statements of income (loss). Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company continued to make quarterly payments of the principal amount in accordance with the contractual payment schedule totaling $27.1 million.

Borrowings for the amounts due April 2028 bear interest at (a) a base rate plus an additional rate ranging from 1.75% to 2.50% per annum (determined based on a cash flow ratio) (the "Base Rate"), or (b) a SOFR rate plus an additional rate ranging from 2.75% to 3.50% per annum (determined based on a cash flow ratio) (the "SOFR Rate").

The Credit Agreement requires the Initial Borrowers to pay a commitment fee of between 0.25% and 0.375% (determined based on a cash flow ratio) in respect of the average daily unused commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Initial Borrowers also are required to pay customary letter of credit fees, as well as fronting fees, to banks that issue letters of credit pursuant to the Credit Agreement.

All obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain of the Initial Borrowers' existing and future domestic restricted subsidiaries in accordance with the Credit Agreement. All obligations under the Credit Agreement, including the guarantees of those obligations, are secured by certain assets of the Initial Borrowers and certain of their subsidiaries (collectively, the "Loan Parties").

The Credit Agreement contains certain affirmative and negative covenants applicable to AMC Networks and its restricted subsidiaries. These include restrictions on AMC Networks and its restricted subsidiaries' ability to incur indebtedness, make investments, place liens on assets, dispose of assets, enter into certain affiliate transactions and make certain restricted payments, including restrictions on AMC Networks' ability to pay dividends on and to repurchase its common stock. The Credit Agreement also requires AMC Networks and its restricted subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis to comply with the following financial covenants: (i) a maximum ratio of Net Debt to Annual Adjusted Operating Income (each defined in the Credit

Agreement) ("Net Leverage Ratio") of 5.25:1.00 from January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021 and decreasing to 5.00:1.00 on and after January 1, 2022 to but excluding the Amendment No. 3 effective date. From the Amendment No.3 effective date through March 31, 2026, the maximum Net Leverage Ratio is 5.75:1.00, decreasing thereafter to 5.50:1.00, subject to increase (not to exceed 6.00:1.00) if AMC Networks consummates any leveraging acquisition; and (ii) a minimum ratio of Annual Adjusted Operating Income to Annual Total Interest Expense (each defined in the Credit Agreement) ("Interest Coverage Ratio") of 2.50:1.00 through the quarter ending June 30, 2024,2.00:1.00 for each quarter ending September 30, 2024 through September 30, 2025, and beginning with the Amendment No. 5 effective date,1.50:1.00 for each quarter ending December 31, 2025 through September 30, 2028, with a step-up to 1.75:1.00 for fiscal quarters ending on or after December 31, 2028. AMC Networks was in compliance with all of its financial covenants under the Credit Facility as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

The Revolving Credit Facility wasnot drawn upon at December 31, 2025 or December 31, 2024. The total undrawn revolver commitment is available to be drawn for our general corporate purposes.

10.50% Senior Secured Notes due 2032

On July 3, 2025, AMC Networks completed an offering of $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 10.500% Senior Secured Notes due 2032 (the “2032 Secured Notes”). AMC Networks received net proceeds of $394.5 million, after deducting initial purchaser discounts. The 2032 Secured Notes are guaranteed by AMC Network Entertainment and AMC Networks' subsidiaries that guarantee the Credit Agreement (the "Guarantors").

The 2032 Secured Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of July 3, 2025 (the “2032 Secured Notes Indenture”), among AMC Networks, the Guarantors and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as Trustee.

The 2032 Secured Notes accrue interest at a rate of 10.500% per annum and mature on July 15, 2032. Interest is payable semiannually on January 15 and July 15 of each year, commencing on January 15, 2026. The 2032 Secured Notes are AMC Networks’ general senior secured obligations, secured on a first-priority basis by substantially all of AMC Networks’ and the Guarantors’ assets and property (the “Collateral”), subject to certain liens permitted under the 2032 Secured Notes Indenture, and will rank equally with all of AMC Networks’ existing and future senior indebtedness, senior in right of payment to AMC Networks’ future subordinated indebtedness and effectively senior to any of AMC Networks’ existing and future unsecured indebtedness or indebtedness that is secured by a lien ranking junior to the lien securing the 2032 Secured Notes, in each case, to the extent of the value of the Collateral.

10.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2029

On April 9, 2024, AMC Networks issued $875 million aggregate principal amount of 10.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2029 (the “Secured Notes”). AMC Networks received net proceeds of $863 million, after deducting initial purchasers' discounts. The Secured Notes are guaranteed by AMC Network Entertainment and AMC Networks' subsidiaries that guarantee the Credit Agreement.

The Secured Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of April 9, 2024 (the “Secured Notes Indenture”), among AMC Networks, the Guarantors and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as Trustee.

The Secured Notes accrue interest at a rate of 10.25% per annum and mature on January 15, 2029. Interest is payable semiannually on January 15 and July 15 of each year, commencing on July 15, 2024. The Secured Notes are AMC Networks’ general senior secured obligations, secured on a first-priority basis by substantially all of AMC Networks’ and the Guarantors’ assets and property, subject to certain liens permitted under the Secured Notes Indenture, and rank equally with all of AMC Networks’ existing and future senior indebtedness, senior in right of payment to AMC Networks’ future subordinated indebtedness and effectively senior to any of AMC Networks’ existing and future unsecured indebtedness or indebtedness that is secured by a lien ranking junior to the lien securing the Secured Notes, in each case, to the extent of the value of the collateral.

On or after January 15, 2026, AMC Networks may redeem the Secured Notes, at its option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve month period beginning on January 15 of the years indicated below:

In addition to the optional redemption of the Secured Notes described above, at any time prior to January 15, 2026, AMC Networks may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the Secured Notes at a redemption price equal to 110.250% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if any, using the net proceeds of certain equity offerings.

Senior Notes

General terms

The senior notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the guarantors, in accordance with the related indenture. The guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several. The indentures governing each of the senior notes contain certain affirmative and negative covenants applicable to AMC Networks and its restricted subsidiaries including restrictions on their ability to incur additional indebtedness, consummate certain assets sales, make investments in entities that are not restricted subsidiaries, create liens on their assets, enter into certain affiliate transactions and make certain restricted payments, including restrictions on AMC Networks' ability to pay dividends on, or repurchase, its common stock.

4.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029

On June 21, 2024, the Company completed a private unregistered offering of $143.8 million aggregate principal amount of its Convertible Notes, which amount includes the full exercise of the initial purchasers’ option to purchase additional Convertible Notes. The Company received net proceeds of $139.4 million, after deducting initial purchasers' discounts. The Convertible Notes are guaranteed by each of the Company’s existing and future domestic subsidiaries that guarantee the Company’s credit facilities and the Company’s 4.25% Senior Notes due 2029 and the Secured Notes (the “Guarantors”), subject to certain exceptions, on a senior, unsecured basis.

The Convertible Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of June 21, 2024 (the “Convertible Notes Indenture”), among the Company, the Guarantors and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (“Trustee”).

The Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 4.25% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, beginning on February 15, 2025. The Convertible Notes will mature on February 15, 2029, unless earlier redeemed, repurchased or converted.

Subject to the terms of the Convertible Notes Indenture, the Convertible Notes may be converted at an initial conversion rate of 78.5083 shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (“Class A Common Stock”) per

$1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $12.74 per share of Class A Common Stock). Upon conversion of the Convertible Notes, the Company will pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of Class A Common Stock or a combination of cash and shares of Class A Common Stock, at the Company’s election, as described in the Convertible Notes Indenture. Holders of the Convertible Notes may convert their Convertible Notes at their option at any time on or after November 15, 2028 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date. Holders of the Convertible Notes will also have the right to convert the Convertible Notes prior to November 15, 2028, but only upon the occurrence of specified events described in the Convertible Notes Indenture. The conversion rate is subject to antidilution adjustments if certain events occur.

Prior to August 20, 2027, the Convertible Notes will not be redeemable. On or after August 20, 2027, the Company may redeem for cash all or part of the Convertible Notes (subject to certain exceptions), at its option, if the last reported sale price of the Class A Common Stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any period of 30 consecutive trading days (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date. No sinking fund is provided for the Convertible Notes.

If certain corporate events (each defined in the Convertible Notes Indenture as a “Make-Whole Fundamental Change”) occur prior to the maturity date of the Convertible Notes, and a holder elects to convert its Convertible Notes in connection with such corporate event, the Company will, under certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for the Convertible Notes so surrendered for conversion by a number of additional shares of Class A Common Stock as specified in the Convertible Notes Indenture. No adjustment to the conversion rate will be made if the price paid or deemed to be paid per share of Class A Common Stock in such corporate event is either less than $10.19 per share or exceeds $130.00 per share.

If a specified “Fundamental Change” (as defined in the Convertible Notes Indenture) occurs prior to the maturity date of the Convertible Notes, under certain circumstances each holder may require the Company to repurchase all or part of its Convertible Notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the repurchase date.

Under the Convertible Notes Indenture, the Convertible Notes may be accelerated upon the occurrence of certain events of default. In the case of an event of default with respect to the Convertible Notes arising from specified events of bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company or the Company’s Significant Subsidiaries (as defined in the Convertible Notes Indenture),100% of the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on the Convertible Notes will automatically become due and payable. If any other event of default with respect to the Convertible Notes under the Convertible Notes Indenture occurs or is continuing, the Trustee or holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Convertible Notes may declare the principal amount of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Convertible Notes to be immediately due and payable.

4.25% Senior Notes due 2029

On February 8, 2021, AMC Networks issued and certain of AMC Networks’ subsidiaries (hereinafter, the “Guarantors”) guaranteed $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 4.25% senior notes due February 15, 2029 (the “Senior Notes”) in a registered public offering and received net proceeds of $982.3 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and expenses. The Company used such proceeds to redeem (i) the remaining $400 million principal amount of the Company’s 4.75% senior notes due 2022 and (ii) $600 million principal amount of the Company’s 5.00% senior notes due 2024 on February 26, 2021 (the "Redemption Date"). The 4.75% senior notes due 2022 were redeemed at a redemption price of 100.000% of the principal amount of such notes and the 5.00% senior notes due 2024 were redeemed at a redemption price of 102.500% of the principal amount of such notes, in each case, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.

The Senior Notes may be redeemed, at AMC Networks' option, in whole or in part, at any time on or after February 15, 2024, at a redemption price equal to 102.125% of the principal amount thereof (plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date of such redemption), declining annually to 100% of the principal amount thereof (plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date of such redemption) beginning on February 15, 2026.

In June 2024, the Company repurchased $15.0 million of its outstanding Senior Notes through open market repurchases, at a discount of $4.9 million, and retired the repurchased notes. The Company recorded a $4.7 million gain which reflects the discount, net of $0.2 million to write off a portion of the unamortized discount and deferred financing costs associated with the notes. The $4.7 million gain is included in Gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt, net within the consolidated statements of income (loss).

Utilizing proceeds from the July 3, 2025 offering of 2032 Secured Notes described above and cash-on-hand, the Company completed a cash tender offer on July 17, 2025 to purchase $600.0 million of its Senior Notes at a discount of $111.0 million, and retired the notes tendered. The Company recorded a $105.8 million gain which reflects the discount, net of $5.2 million to write-off a portion of the unamortized discount and deferred financing costs associated with the Senior Notes, as well as $1.7 million in additional expenses associated with the tender offer, both of which are included in Gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt, net in the consolidated statements of income (loss).

Additionally, during 2025, the Company repurchased $108.3 million principal amount of its Senior Notes through open market repurchases, at discounts of $28.2 million and retired the repurchased Senior Notes. The Company recorded gains of $27.2 million, which reflects the discounts, net of $1.0 million to write off a portion of the unamortized discount and deferred financing costs associated with the Senior Notes, and is included in Gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt, net in the consolidated statements of income (loss).

Summary of Debt Maturities

Total amounts payable by the Company under its various debt obligations outstanding as of December 31, 2025 are as follows:

Note 10. Fair Value Measurement

The fair value hierarchy is based on inputs to valuation techniques that are used to measure fair value that are either observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources while unobservable inputs reflect a reporting entity's pricing based upon their own market assumptions. The fair value hierarchy consists of the following three levels:

•Level I—Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

•Level II—Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.

•Level III—Instruments whose significant value drivers are unobservable.

The following table presents for each of these hierarchy levels, the Company's financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2025 and 2024:

The Company's cash equivalents (comprised of money market mutual funds) are classified within Level I of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices.

The Company's foreign currency derivatives are classified within Level II of the fair value hierarchy as their fair values are determined based on a market approach valuation technique that uses readily observable market parameters and the consideration of counterparty risk.

Fair value measurements are also used in nonrecurring valuations performed in connection with impairment testing, including the valuation of program rights, goodwill, intangible assets and property and equipment. All of our nonrecurring valuations use significant unobservable inputs and therefore fall under Level III of the fair value hierarchy.

Credit Facility Debt and Senior Notes

The fair values of each of the Company's debt instruments are based on quoted market prices for the same or similar issues or on the current rates offered to the Company for instruments of the same remaining maturities.

The carrying values and estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments, excluding those that are carried at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets are summarized as follows:

Fair value estimates related to the Company's debt instruments presented above are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgments and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

Note 11. Derivative Financial Instruments

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

We are exposed to foreign currency risk to the extent that we enter into transactions denominated in currencies other than one of our subsidiaries' respective functional currencies (non-functional currency risk), such as affiliation agreements, programming contracts, certain trade receivables and accounts payable (including intercompany amounts).

To manage foreign currency exchange rate risk, the Company may enter into foreign currency contracts from time to time with financial institutions to limit the exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company does not enter into foreign currency contracts for speculative or trading purposes.

In certain circumstances, the Company enters into contracts that are settled in currencies other than the functional or local currencies of the contracting parties. Accordingly, these contracts consist of the underlying operational contract and an embedded foreign currency derivative element. Hedge accounting is not applied to the embedded foreign currency derivative element and changes in their fair values are included in miscellaneous, net in the consolidated statements of income (loss).

The fair values of the Company's derivative financial instruments included in the consolidated balance sheets are as follows:

The amount of gains and losses related to the Company's derivative financial instruments not designated as hedging instruments are as follows:

Note 12. Leases

The Company's leases consist of non-cancelable agreements for office space, and to a lesser extent, equipment leases for satellite transponders, which expire at various dates through 2033. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet, instead the lease expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For lease agreements entered into, we combine lease and non-lease components. Some leases include options to extend the lease term or terminate the lease prior to the end of the lease term. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term, unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option reasonably certain of exercise.

The leases generally provide for fixed annual rentals plus certain other costs or credits (e.g., tenant improvement allowance). Some leases include rental payments based on a percentage of revenue over contractual levels or based on an index or rate. Our lease agreements do not include any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

Since the rate implicit in its leases is not readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date to determine the present value of the lease payments.

In December 2025, the Company extended the lease of its corporate headquarters to September 2032, while also early terminating the portion of office space that the Company previously vacated in 2023. In connection with the amendment, the Company remeasured its lease liability and adjusted the associated right-of-use assets accordingly, which also resulted in a $3.4 million credit to restructuring and other related charges for the portion of office space that the Company previously vacated in 2023.

The following table summarizes the leases included in the consolidated balance sheets as follows:

The following table summarizes the lease costs included in the consolidated statements of income (loss):

Note 13. Income Taxes

Income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes consists of the following components:

Income tax expense (benefit) attributable to continuing operations consists of the following components:

As noted in Note 2, the Company adopted the FASB issued guidance that enhances the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures. The required disclosure updates related to the rate reconciliation are reflected below on a prospective basis.

A reconciliation of the federal statutory income tax rate to the effective income tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2025 is as follows:

(a)This amount relates to a reversal of a deferred tax liability resulting from an ownership interest change of RLJ Entertainment.

(b) This amount includes an $11.4 million adjustment primarily related to a write-down of a state investment tax credit receivable. During the year ended December 31, 2025, state taxes in California, New York and Pennsylvania compromised greater than 50% of the tax effect in this category after adjusting for the $11.4 million above.

A reconciliation of the federal statutory income tax rate to the effective income tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 is as follows:

(a)In the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the effect of foreign operations relates to the income tax benefit or expense as a result of certain entities operating in foreign jurisdictions (inclusive of the nondeductible goodwill impairment charges at AMCNI).

(b)In the year ended December 31, 2024, the decrease in the valuation allowance relates primarily to the expiration of foreign tax credits and utilization of foreign deferred tax assets offset by the generation of excess foreign tax credits.

(c)In the year ended December 31, 2024, the increase in the investment tax credit benefit/expense relates primarily to a write-down of a state investment tax credit receivable.

The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant components of deferred tax assets or liabilities at December 31, 2025 and 2024 are as follows:

Deferred Tax Assets - Valuation Allowance

(a)Includes currency translation adjustments and other miscellaneous items.

At December 31, 2025, the Company had foreign tax credit carryforwards of approximately $49.8 million, expiring on various dates from 2026 through 2035, which have been reduced by a full valuation allowance as it is more likely than not that these carryforwards will not be realized. The Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $415.3 million, related primarily to federal and state net operating losses acquired as a result of the purchase of the outstanding shares of RLJ Entertainment of approximately $72.3 million, other state net operating loss carryforwards and net operating loss carryforwards of our foreign subsidiaries. The deferred tax asset related to the federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $19.5 million has expiration dates ranging from 2026 through 2045 (some are indefinite) and has been reduced by a valuation allowance of approximately $12.4 million, including $7.7 million that was previously recorded through goodwill as part of purchase accounting. Although the foreign net operating loss carryforward periods range from 5 years to unlimited, the related deferred tax assets of approximately $52.9 million for these carryforwards have been reduced by a valuation allowance of approximately $51.0 million as it is more likely than not that these carryforwards will not be realized. The deferred tax asset related to unused capital losses and other related losses has been reduced by a valuation allowance of approximately $19.1 million as it is more likely than not that these losses will not be realized. The remainder of the valuation allowance at December 31, 2025 relates primarily to deferred tax assets attributable to temporary differences of certain foreign subsidiaries for which it is more likely than not that these deferred tax assets will not be realized.

At December 31, 2025, the Company had investment tax credit carryforwards of approximately $126.9 million, expiring on various dates from 2032 through 2040, reduced by $109.7 million for expected realization.

At December 31, 2025, the liability for uncertain tax positions was $6.7 million, excluding accrued interest of $3.4 million and deferred tax assets of $2.2 million. All of such unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would reduce the Company's income tax expense and effective tax rate.

A reconciliation of the beginning to ending amount of the liability for uncertain tax positions (excluding related accrued interest and deferred tax benefit) is as follows:

Interest expense (net of the related deferred tax benefit) of $1.3 million was recognized during the year ended December 31, 2025 and is included in income tax expense in the consolidated statement of income (loss). At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the liability for uncertain tax positions and accrued interest are included in accrued liabilities and other liabilities, in the consolidated balance sheets.

During 2025, $18.0 million of cash and cash equivalents, previously held by foreign subsidiaries, was repatriated to the United States. As of December 31, 2025, the Company's cash and cash equivalents balance of $502.4 million, included $132.5 million held by foreign subsidiaries. Of this amount $7.3 million is currently expected to be repatriated to the United States with the remaining amount continuing to be reinvested in foreign operations. Tax expense related to the repatriated amount, as well as the expected remaining amount to be repatriated, has been accrued for. The Company does not expect to incur any significant, additional taxes related to the remaining balance.

The Company is currently being audited by the Internal Revenue Service, the State and City of New York and various other states or jurisdictions, with most of the periods under examination relating to tax years 2015 and forward.

In December 2021, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) released the Pillar Two Model Rules, which aim to reform international corporate taxation rules, including the implementation of a global minimum tax rate. The Company began the phased implementation of the Pillar Two Model Rules in 2024 and the minimum tax requirement has not had a material impact upon the Company's full year results of operations or financial position.

As noted in Note 2, the Company adopted the FASB issued guidance that enhances the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures. The required disclosure updates related to income taxes paid are reflected below on a prospective basis.

The following table summarizes income taxes paid, net, for the year ended December 31, 2025:

Individual jurisdictions representing 5% or more or the total income taxes paid, net for the year ended December 31, 2025 included U.S. Federal at $28.0 million, Canada at $7.7 million and Massachusetts at $2.5 million.

Income taxes paid, net, were $37,994 and $63,020 for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Note 14. Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

(1)Purchase obligations consist primarily of program rights obligations, transmission and marketing commitments, and long-term third-party service contracts.

Legal Matters

On August 14, 2017, Robert Kirkman, Robert Kirkman, LLC, Glen Mazzara, 44 Strong Productions, Inc., David Alpert, Circle of Confusion Productions, LLC, New Circle of Confusion Productions, Inc., Gale Anne Hurd, and Valhalla Entertainment, Inc. f/k/a Valhalla Motion Pictures, Inc. (together, the "Plaintiffs") filed a complaint in California Superior Court in connection with Plaintiffs’ rendering of services as writers and producers of the television series entitled The Walking Dead, as well as Fear the Walking Dead and/or Talking Dead, and the agreements between the parties related thereto (the "Walking Dead Litigation"). The Plaintiffs asserted that the Company had been improperly underpaying the Plaintiffs under their contracts with the Company and they asserted claims for breach of contract, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, inducing breach of contract, and liability for violation of Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 17200. The Plaintiffs sought compensatory and punitive damages and restitution. On August 8, 2019, the judge in the Walking Dead Litigation ordered a trial to resolve certain issues of contract interpretation only. Following eight days of trial in February and March 2020, on July 22, 2020, the judge issued a Statement of Decision finding in the Company's favor on allseven matters of contract interpretation before the court in this first phase trial. On January 20, 2021, the Plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint, eliminating eight named defendants and their claims under Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 17200. On May 5, 2021, the Plaintiffs filed a third amended complaint, repleading in part their claims for alleged breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, inducing breach of contract, and certain breach of contract claims. On June 2, 2021, the Company filed a demurrer and motion to strike seeking to dismiss the claim for breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing and certain tort and breach of contract claims asserted in the third amended complaint. On July 27, 2021, the court granted in part and denied in part the Company's motion. On January 12, 2022, the Company filed a motion for summary adjudication of many of the remaining claims. On April 6, 2022, the court granted the Company’s summary adjudication motion in part, dismissing the Plaintiffs’ claims for breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing and inducing breach of contract. On January 26, 2023, the Plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal of the court’s post-trial, demurrer, and summary adjudication decisions. On

September 25, 2024, a hearing was held on the Plaintiffs’ appeals. On November 4, 2024, the appellate court issued a decision affirming the trial court’s decisions in favor of the Company in the 2021 first phase trial and the 2022 motion for summary judgment. The parties entered into an agreement to resolve through confidential binding arbitration the remaining claims in the litigation (consisting mainly of ordinary course profit participation audit claims), and as a result, the court formally dismissed the case. The arbitration to resolve thetwo remaining claims for breach of contract was held between October 16 through October 20, 2023. On March 12, 2024, the arbitral panel issued a decision awarding the Plaintiffs a sum of approximately $7.8 million. The arbitral panel's decision did not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

On November 14, 2022, the Plaintiffs filed a separate complaint in California Superior Court (the “MFN Litigation”) in connection with the Company’s July 2021 settlement agreement with Frank Darabont (“Darabont”), Ferenc, Inc., Darkwoods Productions, Inc., and Creative Artists Agency, LLC (the “Darabont Parties”), which resolved litigations the Darabont Parties had brought in connection with Darabont's rendering services as a writer, director and producer of the television series entitled The Walking Dead and the agreement between the parties related thereto (the “Darabont Settlement”). Plaintiffs assert claims for breach of contract, alleging that the Company breached the most favored nations (“MFN”) provisions of Plaintiffs’ contracts with the Company by failing to pay them additional contingent compensation as a result of the Darabont Settlement. Plaintiffs claim in the MFN Litigation that they are entitled to actual and compensatory damages in excess of $200 million. On December 15, 2022, the Company removed the MFN Litigation to the United States District Court for the Central District of California. On February 25, 2025, the Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint adding two claims for the alleged breach of the MFN provisions of their contracts based on certain agreements the Company entered into with another profit participant and a claim for breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. On March 14, 2025, the Company filed its answer to the amended complaint. On November 5, 2025, the Company filed a motion for summary judgment seeking dismissal of all the claims in the MFN Litigation. The Plaintiffs’ opposition to the Company’s motion was filed on December 4, 2025 and the Company’s reply was filed on December 22, 2025. The parties are also completing limited remaining expert and fact discovery. As a result of a Court order extending the case deadlines, the trial for this matter, previously scheduled for March 26, 2026, has been rescheduled to April 21, 2026. The Company believes that the asserted claims are without merit and will vigorously defend against them if they are not dismissed. At this time, no determination can be made as to the ultimate outcome of this litigation or the potential liability, if any, on the part of the Company.

The Company is party to various lawsuits and claims in the ordinary course of business, including the matters described above, as well as other lawsuits and claims relating to employment, intellectual property, and privacy and data protection matters. Although the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty and while the impact of these matters on the Company's results of operations in any particular subsequent reporting period could be material, management does not believe that the resolution of these matters will have a material adverse effect on the financial position of the Company or the ability of the Company to meet its financial obligations as they become due.

Note 15. Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

RLJ Entertainment

In connection with the 2018 acquisition of RLJ Entertainment, the terms of the operating agreement provided the noncontrolling member with a right to put all of its noncontrolling interest to a subsidiary of the Company at a future time, within ninety days following October 31, 2025, or earlier upon a change of control. The put option was exercisable at the greater of the then fair market value or enterprise value of RLJ Entertainment, (but not lower than the fair value of the initial equity interest at the closing date of the agreement), in each case pursuant to the operating agreement and applied to the equity interest.

On November 26, 2025, the Company acquired the remaining 17% of RLJ Entertainment that it had not previously owned for $75.0 million in cash, before the put option was exercised. Since the Company retained controlling financial interest, the transaction was accounted for as an equity transaction and therefore no gain or loss was recorded in the consolidated statements of income (loss), with the exception of indirect tax effects further described below. As a result, the carrying amount of the noncontrolling interest was reduced tozero, reflecting the Company's 100% ownership of RLJ Entertainment, and the $13.8 million difference between this reduction and the $75.0 million purchase price was recognized as a reduction of Paid-in capital on the consolidated balance sheets. The indirect tax effects associated with the transaction, reversing a previously recorded deferred tax liability, resulted in a $17.8 million tax benefit in the consolidated statements of income (loss).

BBC America

In 2014, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, acquired 49.9% of the limited liability company interests of New Video Channel America L.L.C, that owns the cable channel BBC AMERICA. In connection with the acquisition, the terms of the agreement provide the BBC with a right to put all of its 50.1% noncontrolling interest to a subsidiary of the Company at the greater of the then fair value or the fair value of the initial equity interest at the closing date of the agreement. The put option is exercisable on the fifteenth and twenty-fifth anniversary of the joint venture agreement.

On November 1, 2024, the Company acquired the remaining 50.1% of the BBC America joint-venture that it had not previously owned from BBC Studios for $42.0 million in cash. Since the Company retained controlling financial interest, the transaction was accounted for as an equity transaction and therefore no gain or loss was recorded in the consolidated statements of income (loss). As a result, the carrying amount of the noncontrolling interest was reduced tozero, reflecting the Company's 100% ownership of the BBC America business, and the $90.9 million difference between this reduction and the $42.0 million purchase price was recognized in Paid-in capital on the consolidated balance sheets. The amount recorded in Paid-in capital was offset by $21.5 million of deferred taxes reflecting the difference between the existing noncontrolling interest and the tax basis (amount paid) as of the acquisition date. Additionally, in connection with the transaction, the Company terminated its prior program license agreement with BBC Studios, resulting in a significant reduction of contractual programming commitments. The Company entered into a new program license agreement with BBC Studios for $40.0 million, all of which was paid at closing.

Because exercise of these put rights was outside the Company's control, the noncontrolling interest in each entity were presented as redeemable noncontrolling interest outside of stockholders' equity on the Company's consolidated balance sheets, prior to the acquisitions of the remaining interests not previously owned.

The activity reflected within redeemable noncontrolling interests for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 is presented below.

Note 20. Segment Information

Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which discrete financial information is available that is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. Our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) is the CODM.

The Company classifies its operations intotwo operating segments: Domestic Operations and International. These operating segments represent strategic business units that are managed separately.

In January 2024, the Company updated the name of its previously titled "International and Other" operating segment to "International" due to the divestiture of the 25/7 Media production services business on December 29, 2023, which was the sole component of the operating segment that comprised “Other.” This update did not constitute a change in segment reporting, but rather an update in name only. Prior period segment information contained in this report for the "International" operating segment includes the results of the 25/7 Media production services business through the date of divestiture.

The Company evaluates segment performance based on operating segment adjusted operating income ("AOI"). The Company defines AOI as operating income (loss) before depreciation and amortization, cloud computing amortization, share-based compensation expenses or benefit, impairment and other charges (including gains or losses on sales or dispositions of businesses), restructuring and other related charges and including the Company’s proportionate share of adjusted operating income (loss) from majority-owned equity method investees. The Company has presented the components that reconcile adjusted operating income to income from operations before income taxes, and other information as to the continuing operations of the Company's operating segments below.

Adjusted operating income reflects the Company’s ability to control costs and generate income through its operations to invest in its current business as well as new opportunities. The CODM uses adjusted operating income to monitor budget versus actual results and to benchmark to peer companies, as adjusted operating income and similar measures with similar titles are common performance measures used by investors, analysts, and peers to compare performance in the industry. The monitoring and evaluation of budgeted versus actual results facilitates the CODM’s assessment of segment performance and informs decisions on the allocation of resources, including decisions regarding executive compensation.

(c) Other for each reportable segment primarily includes employee-related costs, information technology costs, professional services expenses, occupancy expenses, certain overhead expenses and the Company’s proportionate share of adjusted operating income (loss) from majority-owned equity method investees.

The Company does not disclose total assets for each operating segment because these amounts are not regularly reviewed by the CODM nor are they used in assessing segment performance or deciding how to allocate resources to the segments.

One customer within the Domestic Operations segment accounted for approximately 18%,16% and 13% of consolidated revenues, net for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
