Notes to the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the period ended March 31, 2019
(expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted, except for amounts per share)
1 | Nature of business |
DHX Media Ltd. (the “Company”) is a public company, and the ultimate parent, whose common shares are traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”), admitted on May 19, 2006, under the symbol DHX. On June 23, 2015, the Company commenced trading its Variable Voting Shares on the NASDAQ Global Trading Market (“NASDAQ”) under the symbol DHXM. The Company, incorporated on February 12, 2004 under the laws of the Province of Nova Scotia, Canada, and continued on April 25, 2006 under the Canada Business Corporation Act, develops, produces and distributes films and television programs for the domestic and international markets; licenses its brands in the domestic and international markets; broadcasts films and television programs in the domestic market; and manages copyrights, licensing and brands for third parties. The address of the Company’s head office is 1478 Queen Street, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, B3J 2H7.
2 | Basis of preparation |
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), applicable to the preparation ofInternational Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34,Interim Financial Reporting, and follow the same accounting policies as those used in the Company's most recent audited annual consolidated financial statements, except for the new accounting policies adopted and described in note 3. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the disclosures included in the Company's audited annual consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited annual consolidated financial statements.
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on May 13, 2019.
3 | Significant accounting policies, judgments and estimation uncertainty |
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the same policies and methods as the annual consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended June 30, 2018, except for the new and amended accounting standards adopted and described below.
New and amended standards adopted
i) | IFRS 9, Financial Instruments("IFRS 9") |
Effective July 1, 2018, the Company adopted IFRS 9, which establishes a single classification and measurement approach for financial assets and financial liabilities that reflect the business model in which they are managed and their cash flow characteristics. IFRS 9 also provides guidance on an entity's own credit risk relating to financial liabilities and amends the impairment model by introducing a new 'expected credit loss' model for calculating impairment. IFRS 9 replaces IAS 39,Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement ("IAS 39").
Under the previous accounting standard, the Company calculated its provision for impaired receivables by applying an 'incurred loss' model. Under IFRS 9, the Company applied the 'expected credit loss' model. Trade receivables, goods and services taxes recoverable and federal and provincial film tax credits and other government assistance are provided for based on estimated recoverable amounts as determined by using a combination of the customer's historical default experience and expected future credit losses. Goods and services taxes recoverable and other government assistance do not contain any significant uncertainty. In accordance with the transitional provisions of IFRS 9 (7.2.15), the resulting increase to the provision for impaired receivables as at July 1, 2018 was $1,049 with a corresponding increase to opening deficit.

Notes to the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the period ended March 31, 2019
(expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted, except for amounts per share)
In addition, the Company previously classified its financial assets as 'loans and receivables' and its financial liabilities as 'other financial liabilities', both of which were measured at amortized cost, with the exception of embedded derivatives which was classified as 'fair value through profit and loss' and measured, on a recurring basis, at fair value. Under IFRS 9, the measurement basis would remain the same across all financial instruments, however the category for classification has been amended to 'Amortized Cost' for its financial assets classified as loans and receivables and its financial liabilities classified as other financial liabilities, and to 'fair value through profit and loss' for its embedded derivative.
The standard also clarifies the accounting treatment for modifications of financial liabilities and requires a financial liability measured at amortized cost to be remeasured when a modification occurs. Any resulting gain or loss is required to be recognized in profit or loss at the date of modification. There was no adjustment to the Company's unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as a result of this change.
ii) | IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers(“IFRS 15”) |
Effective July 1, 2018, the Company adopted IFRS 15, which establishes a new comprehensive framework to record revenues from contracts for the sale of goods or services, unless the contracts are in the scope of other standards. IFRS 15 replaces IAS 18,Revenue,IAS 11,Construction Contracts, and some revenue related interpretations. Under IFRS 15, revenue is recognized at an amount that reflects the expected consideration receivable in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer, applying the following five steps: 1) identify the contract with a customer; 2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; 3) determine the transaction price; 4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and 5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.
The Company adopted IFRS 15 using the modified retrospective method, which requires the cumulative effect of initially applying the Standard to be recognized at the date of initial application, which is July 1, 2018, and that the financial information previously presented for the year ended June 30, 2018 would remain unchanged. The Company also elected to apply the practical expedient which permits the Company to apply IFRS 15 retrospectively only to contracts that are not completed contracts at the date of initial application.
The significant changes to the Company's revenue recognition policies are as follows:
• Under its proprietary production channel, the Company previously recorded revenue for the initial broadcast rights when the production was completed and available to the customer. Under IFRS 15, an assessment is made at the inception of each contract to determine whether: i) the performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time, which generally occurs when the production is completed, available to the customer, and the customer has the contractual right to broadcast or stream the content; or ii) the Company transfers control of the production over time and therefore satisfies the performance obligations and recognizes revenue over time. Over time recognition generally occurs when the Company's production creates an asset that the customer controls as that production is created. When performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time, revenue is recognized when all the aforementioned criteria are met. When performance obligations are satisfied over time during the production of the show, revenue is recognized using the percentage of completion method, based on actual costs incurred compared to the total estimated costs. This change did not have an effect on the Company's opening balance sheet.
• Under its distribution channel, the Company previously recorded revenue on certain distribution license agreements for its television and film content when the contract was executed and the licensed content was available to the customer. Under IFRS 15, revenue is deferred and recorded as revenue when the licensed content is available to the customer and the customer has the contractual right to broadcast or stream the content. This change did not have an effect on the Company's opening balance sheet.

For the period ended March 31, 2019
(expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted, except for amounts per share)
• Under its consumer products-owned channel, the Company previously recognized license revenue relating to certain minimum guarantees for royalties on its copyrights and brands at the start of the license period. Under IFRS 15, the Company determined that these were right-of-access licenses and as a result, minimum guarantees are deferred and amortized over the term of the license. Royalty revenue is calculated as the greater of royalties based on underlying sales or the pro-rata allocation of the minimum guarantee. This change resulted in a July 1, 2018 adjustment to increase opening deficit by $5,823, an increase to opening deferred revenue by $6,459, a decrease to opening deferred income taxes by $1,117 and a decrease to accumulated other comprehensive loss by $481.
• For renewals or extensions of license agreements for television and film content, the Company previously recorded revenue when the agreement was renewed or extended. Under IFRS 15, revenue related to the extension or renewal term is recognized when the customer has the contractual right to broadcast or stream the content. This change did not have an effect on the Company's opening balance sheet.
The following is a reconciliation of the impact of IFRS 15 for the three month and nine month periods ended March 31, 2019:
Three months ended March 31, 2019 | Nine months ended March 31, 2019 | |||||||
$ | $ | |||||||

Direct production costs and expense of film and television produced under IAS 18 | 62,858 | 193,124 |
(1) Revenue on minimum guarantees - these are minimum guarantees on royalties in the consumer products-owned channel that were previously recognized at the inception of the license period but under IFRS 15 are recognized over the license term as a "right-to-access license", resulting in a corresponding adjustment to deferred revenue.
(2) Revenue on proprietary production shows - these are proprietary production revenues that would have met the previous revenue recognition criteria under IAS 18 and recognized at a point in time with a corresponding adjustment to amounts receivable, but have been deferred under IFRS 15 as the risks and rewards of ownership under IAS 18 transferred to the customer at an earlier date than control was transferred under IFRS 15.
(3) Revenue on distribution licenses - these are distribution revenues that would have met the previous revenue recognition criteria under IAS 18 and recognized at a point in time with a corresponding adjustment to amounts receivable, but have been deferred under IFRS 15 as the risks and rewards of ownership under IAS 18 transferred to the customer at an earlier date than control transferred under IFRS 15.

(4) Direct production and new media costs - these costs are the expense of film and television produced related to proprietary production shows that have been deferred, with a corresponding adjustment to investment in film and television programs.
Revenue recognition policy adopted
Revenue is recognized at an amount that reflects the expected consideration receivable in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer by applying the following five steps:
1) identify the contract with a customer;
2) identify the performance obligations in the contract;
3) determine the transaction price;
4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.
Revenue excludes sales taxes and other amounts that are collected on behalf of third parties and is recorded when control of a product or service is transferred to a customer.
For initial broadcast license rights related to proprietary production titles, an assessment is made at the execution of each contract to determine whether: i) the performance obligations are satisfied over time, or ii) the performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time. Performance obligations are satisfied over time during the production of the title when the customer can exert control over the production process and the Company’s ability to generate other revenues from the title are limited based on the remaining rights held and the nature of the show. Revenue is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method when performance obligations are satisfied over time. Performance obligations that are not satisfied over time are satisfied at a point in time, which generally occurs when the production is completed, available to the customer and the customer has the contractual right to broadcast or stream the content. When performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time, revenue is recognized when the conditions for recognition are satisfied.
Revenue from the sale of broadcast license rights to third parties is recognized when the licensed content is available to the customer and the customer has the contractual right to broadcast or stream the content.
Revenue from production services for third parties is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method. Percentage-of-completion recognizes revenues based upon the proportion of costs incurred in the current period to total expected costs.
Royalty revenue is accrued for royalty streams when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured based on relevant agreements and statements received from third party agents, and the underlying sales activity generating the royalty revenue has occurred.

(expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted, except for amounts per share)
Revenue from the management of copyrights, licensing and brands for third parties through representation agreements is recognized when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured and the services have been performed.
Minimum guarantees received on its merchandising and consumer brand licenses are deferred and recognized as revenue over the term of the license period.
License renewals or extensions are recognized when the licensed content becomes available under the renewal or extension.
Amounts received or advances currently due pursuant to a contractual arrangement, which have not yet met the criteria established to be recognized as revenue, are recorded as deferred revenue.
iii) | IFRIC 22, Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration("IFRIC 22") |
Effective July 1, 2018, the Company adopted IFRIC 22, which clarified how to determine the date of transaction for the exchange rate to be used on initial recognition of a related asset, expense or income where an entity pays or receives consideration in advance for foreign currency-denominated contracts. For a single payment or receipt, the date of the transaction is the date on which the entity initially recognises the non-monetary asset or liability arising from the advance consideration (the prepayment or deferred income/contract liability).
The Company has elected to apply IFRIC 22 prospectively beginning July 1, 2018. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact to the Company's consolidated financial statements.
iv) | Amendments to IFRS 2, Share-Based Payment("IFRS 2") |
Effective July 1, 2018, the Company adopted the amendments to IFRS 2, which clarified the classification and measurement of certain share-based payment transactions. The adoption of this amendment did not have an impact to the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Accounting standards issued but not yet applied
i) | In January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16,Leases ("IFRS 16") effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. IFRS 16 provides a comprehensive model for the measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases and replaces IAS 17,Leases. The adoption of IFRS 16 will result in substantially all lessee leases being recorded on the balance sheet as an asset with a corresponding liability with both current and long-term portions. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of IFRS 16 on its consolidated financial statements. |
ii) | In June 2017, the IASB issued IFRIC 23,Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatment to clarify how the requirements of IAS 12,Income Taxes should be applied when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments. The interpretation is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, with modified retrospective or retrospective application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of IFRIC 23 on its consolidated financial statements. |

(i) | Term Facility (continued) |
The Term Facility also requires repayments equal to 50% of Excess Cash Flow (the "Excess Cash Flow Payments") (as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Agreement), commencing for the fiscal year-ended June 30, 2018, while the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Agreement) is greater than 3.50 times, reducing to 25% of Excess Cash Flow while First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Agreement) is at or below 3.50 times and greater than 3.00 times, with the remaining balance due on December 29, 2023. As at March 31, 2019, no payments were owed under the Excess Cash Flow Payments terms of the Term Facility.
The Senior Secured Credit Facilities require that the Company comply with a Total Net Leverage Ratio covenant, as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Agreement:
Period | Ratio target | |
Each fiscal quarter commencing September 30, 2018 | < 6.75x | |
Each fiscal quarter commencing September 30, 2019 | < 6.50x | |
Each fiscal quarter commencing September 30, 2020 | < 5.75x | |

The Senior Unsecured Convertible Debentures are convertible into Common Voting Shares or Variable Voting Shares of the Company at a price of $8.00 per share, subject to certain customary adjustments. The Senior Unsecured Convertible Debentures mature September 30, 2024.

As a result, the Senior Unsecured Convertible Debentures were deemed to have no equity component at initial recognition and the estimated fair value of the embedded derivatives is recorded as a financial liability and included with the debt component on the Company's consolidated balance sheet. Changes in the estimated fair value of the embedded derivatives are recorded through the Company's consolidated statement of income. As at March 31, 2019, the estimated fair value of the embedded derivatives was $8,440.

The DSUs are fully vested upon allocation and cannot be redeemed for cash until the holder is no longer a director or employee of DHX. Upon redemption, the value of the DSUs will be paid in cash, or shares delivered from the share purchase funds. In no event shall shares be issued from treasury to settle DSUs. On the vesting date, the Company recognizes compensation expense and liabilities equal to the fair value of the DSUs, and both are adjusted prospectively equal to the market price of the share of the Company.
The Company granted directors 84,000 DSUs. During the period, the compensation expense recognized as a result of the DSUs was $175 (2018 - $nil). The obligation from DSUs of $175 (2018 - $nil) was classified as other long-term liabilities.

13 | Financial instruments |
Financial instruments recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The value hierarchy has the following levels:
Level 1 - | Valuation based on quoted prices observed in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. |
Level 2 - | Valuation techniques based on inputs that are quoted prices of similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices used in a valuation model that are observable for that instrument, and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. |
Level 3 - | Valuation techniques with significant unobservable market inputs. |
A financial instrument is classified to the lowest of the hierarchy for which a significant input has been considered in measuring fair value.
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information. These are estimates and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions and estimates could significantly affect fair values.

14 | Earnings per common share |
a) | Basic |
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

Weighted average number of common shares outstanding (in 000's) | 134,954 | 134,562 | 134,752 | 134,483 | ||||||||||||
Basic earnings (loss) per share | (0.14 | ) | (0.06 | ) | (0.29 | ) | 0.06 |
b) | Diluted |
Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilutive effect that could occur if additional common shares were assumed to be issued under securities or instruments that may entitle their holders to obtain common shares in the future. Dilution could occur through the exercise of stock options, the exercise of PSUs, or the exercise of the conversion option of the convertible debentures. The number of additional shares for inclusion in the diluted earnings per share calculation was determined using the treasury stock method.
For the nine month period ended March 31, 2019, the diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding is the same as the basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding, as the Company had a net loss for the period and the exercise of any potentially dilutive instruments would be anti-dilutive.
