Accounting Standard Update(s) | Topic | Effective Period | Summary | ||||||||
2021-08 | Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers | Fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted. | Requires entities to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with ASC 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The update will generally result in an entity recognizing contract assets and contract liabilities at amounts consistent with those recorded by the acquiree immediately before the acquisition date rather than at fair value. The Company adopted this guidance on December 27, 2021. As a result of The Athletic acquisition, the Company assumed unexpired subscriptions revenue of $28.1 million. |

Beginning with the second quarter of 2022, the Company has updated its rounding methodology for subscriptions (including net subscriptions additions), subscribers (including net subscriber additions) and subscriber-related metrics (other than ARPU) and will round to the nearest ten thousand instead of the nearest thousand as it had previously been presenting. In addition, starting with the second quarter of 2022, the Company has made a change in its methodology for counting subscribers and subscriptions to The Athletic to exclude free trials (which are primarily long-dated (6-12 months) and given as part of its business development partnerships). In addition, during the second quarter of 2022, the Company identified certain nonmaterial errors in previously released subscription, subscriber and subscriber-related metrics data for the periods presented below. As a result, our computation of the number of The Athletic subscribers and subscriptions as of the acquisition date each decreased by 72,000, as reported in our second quarter results. The below supplementary tables, which were included in our second quarter results, update certain historical disclosures for the first quarters of 2021 and 2022 and the fourth quarter of 2021 to reflect the changes in methodology and the error corrections described above. The adjustments had no impact on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) or the consolidated statements of cash flows for any of these periods. The impact of the items noted above on our historical disclosures is as follows: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
