Current wording
Changes in tax regulations could limit the availability of tax benefits or deductions that the Company expects to claim or otherwise increase the taxes imposed on the Company’s operations. For example, to the extent the expansion of Section 162(m) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, which will become effective for the Company’s fiscal year ending June 30, 2028, reduces the amount of tax deductions available to us, our income tax expense would increase, which would reduce our net income, all of which could have a significant impact on our business and results of operations. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors—Operational Risks—We Are Subject to Governmental Regulation, Which Can Change, and Any Failure to Comply With These Regulations May Have a Material Negative Effect on Our Business and Results of Operations” in our 2025 Form 10-K.

Current report — wording carried from elsewhere
These changes were partially offset by (i) a higher increase in accrued and other liabilities of $42,337 primarily due to higher accruals for employee compensation and league revenue sharing (net of escrow) in the current year period, partially offset by the impact of NBA luxury tax payments in the the current year period and lower accruals for income taxes in the current year period and (ii) a lower increase in accounts receivable, net, of $25,555 primarily due to the timing of collections from MSG Networks related to the Company’s local media rights agreements.
