Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2023
Goodwill and Acquired Intangible Assets, page F-22
1. We note your disclosure
that no impairment resulted during the years ended December 31,
2023, 2022 and 2021. We
also note in your fourth quarter 2023 earnings call transcript,
your CEO's statement
relative to the studio segment's financial performance in 2023 and
projection for 2024.
"Turning to our studio segment, following SAG's contract ratification
in December, production
companies have been slow to greenlight new productions, and in
January, production
counts remained approximately 20% below 2021 and 2022. Based on
the level of activity
we're seeing real time, we now anticipate that production levels may
not materially improve
until the second half of the year." Given the reduction in studio
income in 2023 and
slower ramp up in 2024, please tell us how you considered the
guidance in ASC
350-20-35-30 when assessing your goodwill for impairment. Please
include within your
response how you considered your market capitalization compared to
your book value when
performing the impairment analysis.
