Guidance and outlook

Forward-looking statements, 10-Q filed Nov 9, 2026

• This section provides a general description of our business and our operating segments, as well as other matters that we believe are important in understanding our results of operations and financial condition and in anticipating future trends.
• Our streaming services consist of AMC+ and our targeted subscription streaming services (Acorn TV, Shudder, Sundance Now, HIDIVE and All Reality).
• As a result of the extended payment terms, the aggregate revenue that we expect to recognize will be based on the present value of future payments which is estimated to be approximately $450 million.
• If events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of program rights predominantly monetized individually or as a group is less than their unamortized cost, we will write off the excess to technical and operating expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss).
• Similar to our Domestic Operations businesses, the most significant business challenges we expect to encounter in our International business include programming competition (from both foreign and domestic programmers), limited channel capacity on distributors' platforms, the number of subscribers on those platforms and economic pressures on subscription fees.
• We expect linear subscriber declines to continue in our Domestic Operations segment, consistent with the declines across the cable ecosystem.
• We generally expect advertising revenue to continue to decline as the advertising market gravitates toward other distribution platforms.
• We expect content licensing revenues to increase in the fourth quarter of 2026 compared to the fourth quarter of 2025 based on the contracted license start dates of additional rights under The Walking Dead Universe Licensing Agreement.
• Additionally, in the third quarter of 2025, we implemented organizational changes in our Domestic Operations segment designed to create an enhanced offering that was intended to maximize the potential of our We TV and ALLBLK brands.
• We do not expect to incur any significant, additional taxes related to the remaining balance.
• As a public company, we may have access to capital and credit markets, although adverse conditions in the financial markets have in the past impacted, and are expected in the future to impact, access to those markets.
• However, we do not expect to generate sufficient cash from operations to, combined with cash-on-hand, repay the entirety of the outstanding balances of our debt at the applicable maturity dates.
