Nature of Business
Nature of Business	Note 1. Nature of Business ​ Nature of business: ​ Prior to March 31, 2021, the Company owned a 25% equity interest in Pantaya, which was accounted for as an equity method investment. On March 31, 2021, the Company acquired the remaining 75% equity interest in Pantaya (the “Pantaya Acquisition”), for a cash purchase price of $123.6 million. As a result of the acquisition, Pantaya is now a wholly owned consolidated subsidiary. For more information, see Note 3, “Business Combination” of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. ​ Effective July 15, 2021, the Company entered into an omnibus modification agreement with Snap Distribution, Inc., a British Virgin Islands company, pursuant to which Snap Distribution, Inc. relinquished the non-controlling 25% interest in Snap Media, at which point Snap Media became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. For more information, see Note 11, “Stockholders’ Equity” of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. ​ Reclassification: ​ Basis of presentation: ​ Net (loss) income per common share: ​ The following table sets forth the computation of the common shares outstanding used in determining basic and diluted (loss) income per share attributable to Hemisphere Media Group, Inc.

Per the Accounting Standards Codification (“ ASC ASC 260-10-45-23 ​ As a result of the loss from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2021, 0.4 million outstanding Class A common stock awards were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share because their effect was anti-dilutive. As a result of the loss from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, 0.2 million outstanding Class A common stock awards were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share because their effect was anti-dilutive. ​ Risks and uncertainties: In March 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) as a pandemic, and the President of the United States declared the COVID-19 outbreak a national emergency. The impact of COVID-19 and measures to prevent its spread have continued to affect our businesses in a number of ways. Beginning in March 2020, the Company experienced adverse advertising revenue impacts. Operationally, most non-production and programming personnel are working remotely, and the Company has restricted business travel. The Company has managed the remote workforce transition effectively and there have been no material adverse impacts on operations through September 30, 2021. However, the Company is unable to reasonably predict the impact that a significant change in circumstances, including the ability of our workforce and/or key personnel to work effectively because of illness, government actions or other restrictions in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, may have on our businesses in the future. The nature and full extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our future operations will depend on numerous factors, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be reasonably predicted. These factors include the length and severity of the outbreak, including the extent of surges in positive cases related to variants of COVID-19, such as the Delta variant, as well as the availability and efficacy of vaccines and treatments for the disease and whether individuals choose to vaccinate themselves, the responses of private sector businesses and governments, including the timing and amount of government stimulus, the impact on economic activity and the impact on our customers, employees and suppliers. For more information on the risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, see “Item 1A-Risk Factors” included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. ​ The Company has evaluated and continues to evaluate the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, including the impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets and the fair value of equity method investments. The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the extent of any adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition, remains uncertain. ​ Use of estimates: ​ Recently adopted Accounting Standards: ASU 2019-12—Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. ​ Accounting guidance not yet adopted: ASU 2020-04-Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting ​ In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08-Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers

Business Combination	Note 3. Business Combination ​ Prior to March 31, 2021, the Company owned a 25 % equity interest in Pantaya, which was accounted for as an equity method investment. On March 31, 2021, the Company acquired the remaining 75 % equity interest in Pantaya. As a result of the Pantaya Acquisition, Pantaya is now a wholly owned consolidated subsidiary. Pantaya is the leading U.S. Hispanic subscription streaming service offering the largest selection of current and classic, commercial free blockbusters and critically acclaimed movies and series from Latin America and the U.S., including original productions from Pantaya’s production arm, Pantelion, and titles from our library, as well as titles from third party providers such as Lionsgate and Grupo Televisa. ​ Total cash purchase price in connection with the Pantaya Acquisition was $123.6 million. Under the terms of the purchase agreement (“Securities Purchase Agreement”), control of Pantaya transferred to the Company on March 31, 2021 (“Acquisition Date”), with cash consideration transferred on April 1, 2021. Cash consideration was funded with a combination of cash on hand and an add-on to our Term Loan Facility. For more information, see Note 8, “Long-Term Debt” of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Pantaya Acquisition were $8.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, consisting primarily of professional fees, financing costs, and certain non-cash charges, which are included in other expenses in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. ​ Prior to the closing of the Pantaya Acquisition, the Company accounted for the existing 25% equity interest in Pantaya using the equity method, and the net book value was $0 as of March 31, 2021. The Company accounted for the acquisition of the 75% equity interest of Pantaya as a step acquisition, which required remeasurement of the Company’s existing 25% ownership interest in Pantaya to fair value prior to completing the acquisition method of accounting. Using step acquisition accounting, the Company increased the value of its existing equity interest to its fair value resulting in the recognition of a non-cash gain of $ 30.1 million, which was included in gain (loss) on equity method investment activity in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. For more information, see Note 10, “Fair Value Measurements” of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. ​ The Pantaya Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination by applying the acquisition method of accounting pursuant to ASC Topic 805 , “ Business Combinations ”. Due to the timing of the Pantaya Acquisition, the amounts recorded for assets acquired, liabilities assumed, total consideration, and our existing 25% equity interest in Pantaya reflects preliminary fair value estimates based on management analysis, which the Company is still in the process of reviewing and finalizing. Until the Company finalizes the valuation process, there may be adjustments during the measurement period. ​ The following table summarizes the purchase price consideration in connection with the Pantaya Acquisition as of March 31, 2021 ( amounts in thousands ): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Total cash consideration $ 123,605 Class A common stock consideration (a) ​ 2,188 Effective settlement of pre-existing receivables and payables, net (b) ​ 1,499 Total consideration ​ 127,292 Fair value of existing 25% equity interest ​ ​ 30,092 Total ​ $ 157,384 (a) Calculated as 238,436 shares issued to certain employees, who held Pantaya stock-based compensation awards, multiplied by $11.65 , which was the closing price of a share of the Company’s Class A common stock on March 31, 2021, reduced by post-combination expense of approximately $0.6 million associated with the excess fair value over replacement awards. ​ (b) Effective settlement of pre-existing accounts receivable of $2.3 million for content licensed to Pantaya and programming rights payable of $0.8 million for content licensed from Pantaya prior to the Acquisition Date. ​ The following table summarizes the preliminary fair values of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and resulting goodwill in the Pantaya Acquisition as of March 31, 2021 ( amounts in thousands ): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ March 31, 2021 Cash ​ $ 985 Accounts receivable ​ ​ 5,357 Finite-lived intangible assets ​ 110,671 Other assets ​ 7,243 Accounts payable ​ (2,807) Accrued expenses ​ (12,934) Programming rights payable ​ ​ (15,224) Deferred income tax ​ ​ (7,074) Goodwill ​ ​ 71,167 Fair value of net assets acquired ​ $ 157,384 ​ The preliminary fair value of the accounts receivable is based on the net realizable value and no amounts are believed to be uncollectible. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company identified finite-lived intangible assets and recorded measurement period adjustments of $79.9 million. As a result, the total preliminary fair value of the finite-lived intangible assets is $110.7 million, which is comprised of customer relationships of $34.2 million with a useful life of 4 years , programming rights of $ 29.4 million with a useful life of 4.6 years, brand of $24.6 million with a useful life of 10 years , and distribution agreements of $22.5 million with a useful life of 10 years . These finite-lived intangible assets will be amortized on a straight-line basis over their respective useful lives. For the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded an additional $3.2 million of amortization for the finite-lived intangible assets identified during the period, which were retroactively amortized as of the Acquisition Date. The Company has not yet finalized the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded a measurement period adjustment of $7.1 million for the preliminary fair value of a net deferred income tax liability primarily related to the finite-lived intangible assets and the impact of the Company’s previous 25% equity interest in Pantaya. Goodwill of $ 71.2 million, as reduced for the measurement period adjustments, represents Company-specific operational synergies and the future growth opportunities of Pantaya’s subscription streaming service. The goodwill associated with the transaction is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. ​ Supplemental Pro Forma Information (Unaudited) ​ The following table sets forth the unaudited supplemental pro forma results of operations assuming that the Pantaya Acquisition occurred on January 1, 2020: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Three months ended September 30, ​ 2021 2020 Net revenue ​ $ 50,791 ​ $ 48,781 Operating (loss) income ​ (7,362) ​ 6,272 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Nine months ended September 30, ​ 2021 2020 Net revenue ​ $ 150,158 ​ $ 137,063 Operating income (loss) ​ 1,455 ​ (8,823) ​ These unaudited supplemental pro forma results, as if the Pantaya Acquisition occurred on January 1,2020, are presented for illustrative purposes and are not intended to represent or be indicative of the actual results of operations of the combined company nor are they intended to represent or be indicative of future results of operations.

Equity Method Investments
Equity Method Investments	Note 6. Equity Method Investments ​ The Company makes investments that support its underlying business strategy and enables it to enter new markets. The Company holds equity investments in Canal 1 and Snap JV (in each case, as defined and discussed below), which are variable interest entities (“VIEs”), for which the Company is not the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the party involved with the VIE that (i) has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, and (ii) has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The activities of each VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance are controlled by the VIE’s board of directors and the Company’s representation on the board of directors of each VIE is commensurate with its voting equity interest. As the Company does not hold a majority voting interest or disproportionate voting or other rights, it does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of any of these VIEs. ​ On November 30, 2016, we, in partnership with Colombian content producers, Radio Television Interamericana S.A., Compania de Medios de Informacion S.A.S. and NTC Nacional de Television y Comunicaciones S.A., were awarded a ten (10) year renewable television broadcast concession license for Canal 1 in Colombia. The partnership began operating Canal 1 on May 1, 2017. On February 7, 2018, Colombian regulatory authorities approved an increase in our ownership in the joint venture from 20% to 40%. In July 2019, the Colombian government enacted legislation resulting in the extension of the concession license for Canal 1 for an additional ten years for no additional consideration. The concession is now due to expire on April 30, 2037 and is renewable for an additional 20-year period. The joint venture is deemed a VIE that is accounted for under the equity method. As of September 30, 2021, we have funded $124.0 million in capital contributions to Canal 1. The Canal 1 joint venture losses-to-date have exceeded the capital contributions of the common equity partners and in accordance with equity method accounting, losses in excess of the common equity have been recorded against the next layer of the capital structure, in this case, preferred equity. The Company is currently the sole preferred equity holder in Canal 1 and therefore, the Company has recorded nearly 100% of the losses of the joint venture. We record the income or loss on investment on a one quarter lag. For the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we recorded $3.2 million and $1.0 million in loss on equity method investment in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we recorded $9.3 million and $18.0 million in loss on equity method investment activity in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, respectively. The net balance recorded in equity method investments related to the Canal 1 joint venture was $25.0 million and $29.9 million as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, and is included in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had a receivable balance from Canal 1 of $2.6 million, which is included in other assets in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. ​ On April 28, 2017, we acquired a 25.5% interest in REMEZCLA, a digital media company targeting English speaking and bilingual U.S. Hispanic millennials through innovative content, for $5.0 million. At March 31, 2020, given the negative impacts caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated liquidity and going-concern uncertainties related to REMEZCLA, the Company determined that the investment in REMEZCLA was other-than-temporarily impaired and recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $5.5 million reflecting the write-off of the full carrying amount of our investment. The write-off was recorded in impairment of equity method investment in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Due to the write-off of the investment carrying value, we did not record any share of the loss from the investment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. The net balance recorded in equity method investments related to REMEZCLA was $0 million as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. ​ On November 26, 2018, Snap Media acquired a 50% interest in Snap JV, LLC (“Snap JV”) (as of July 15, 2021, the Company owns 100% of Snap Media), a joint venture with Mar Vista Entertainment, LLC (“MarVista”), to co-produce original movies and series. The investment is deemed a VIE that is accounted for under the equity method. As of September 30, 2021, we have funded $0.4 million into Snap JV. We record the income or loss on investment on a one quarter lag. For each of the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we recorded $0 million in loss on equity method investments in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we recorded $0 million and $0.2 million, respectively, in loss on equity method investments in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The net balance recorded in equity method investments related to Snap JV was $0.1 million as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, and is included in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. ​ On March 31, 2021, the Company acquired the remaining 75% equity interest in Pantaya. As a result of the acquisition, Pantaya is now a wholly owned consolidated subsidiary, and as of April 1, 2021, is no longer treated as an equity method investment.

Income Taxes
Income Taxes	Note 7. Income Taxes ​ The 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Jobs Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2017. The Jobs Act revised the U.S. corporate income tax by lowering the statutory corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% in 2018. The Company generates income in higher tax rate foreign locations, which result in foreign tax credits. The lower federal corporate tax rate reduces the likelihood of our utilization of foreign tax credits created by income taxes paid in Puerto Rico and Latin America, resulting in a valuation allowance. Additionally, the Company evaluated the potential interest limitation established under the Jobs Act and determined that no limitation would affect the 2021 provision for income taxes. ​ The Company has historically calculated the provision for income taxes during interim periods by applying an estimated annual effective tax rate for the full fiscal year to income (loss) before income taxes for the reporting period. Since the Company determined that relatively small changes in estimated annual income (loss) before income taxes could result in significant changes in the estimated annual effective tax rate, the Company has calculated the income tax provision using a discrete rate of 19.5% based on the actual income before income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, for all jurisdictions, except for Puerto Rico, as permitted under ASC 740-270-30-36 Income Taxes - Interim Reporting ​ For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, our income tax expense was computed utilizing an estimated annual effective tax rate of 37.4% for all jurisdictions. The difference between the annual effective rate of 37.4% and the statutory Federal income tax rate of 21% in the nine month period ended September 30, 2020, is primarily due to the impact of the Tax Act, which impacted the valuation allowance on foreign tax credits, and limitations on the deductibility of executive compensation under Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m). The annual effective tax rate related to income generated in the U.S. is 27.1%,and the Company determined that a portion of its foreign income, which is taxed at a higher rate, will result in the generation of excess foreign tax credits that will not be available to offset U.S. income tax. As a result, 10.3% of the annual effective rate relates to the required valuation allowance against the excess foreign tax credits, bringing the annual effective tax rate for the nine month period ended September 30, 2020 to 37.4%. ​ Income tax expense was $1.5 million and $4.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Income tax expense was $4.5 million and $5.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

(together with Holdings, the “Borrowers”), both wholly owned, indirect subsidiaries of the Company, amended the Term Loan Facility (the “Second Amended Term Loan Facility”). The Second Amended Term Loan Facility provides for a $213.3 million senior secured term loan B facility, and matures on February 14, 2024. The Second Amended Term Loan Facility bore interest at the Borrowers’ option of either (i) London Inter-bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus a margin of 3.50% or (ii) an Alternate Base Rate (“ABR”) plus a margin of 2.50%. ​ On March 31, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), the Borrowers amended the Term Loan Facility, as previously amended (the “Third Amended Term Loan Facility”), for the borrowing of a new tranche of term loans in the aggregate principal amount of $ 50.0 million and matures on February 14, 2024. The Third Amended Term Loan Facility bears interest at the Borrowers’ option of either (i) LIBOR plus a margin of 3.50% or (ii) an ABR plus a margin of 2.50% . There is no LIBOR floor. The add-on to the term loan B facility was issued with 4.0% of original issue discount (“OID”). ​ Additionally, the Third Amended Term Loan Facility provides for a revolving loan (the “Revolving Facility”) allowing for an aggregate principal amount of up to $30.0 million. The Revolving Facility is secured on a pari passu basis by the collateral securing the Third Amended Term Loan Facility and will mature on November 15, 2023. The Revolving Facility will bear interest at the Borrowers’ option of either (i) LIBOR (which will not be less than zero ) plus a margin of 2.75% or (ii) or an ABR plus a margin of 1.75% , in each case, with a 25 basis points (“bps”) step-up at a First Lien Net Leverage Ratio level of 3.50 :1.00 and two 25 bps step-downs at a First Lien Net Leverage Ratio level of 2.50 :1.00 and 1.50 :1.00. The First Lien Net Leverage Ratio limits the amount of cash netted against debt to a maximum amount of $60.0 million. The Borrowers are also required to pay a quarterly commitment fee on the undrawn balance of the Revolving Facility at 37.5 bps per annum. As of September 30, 2021, the Revolving Facility was undrawn. ​ The Third Amended Term Loan Facility does not have any maintenance covenants. The Revolving Facility will have a springing First Lien Net Leverage Ratio of no greater than 5.00:1.00, tested commencing with the last day of the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2021, and the last day of each fiscal quarter thereafter, solely to the extent that on such day, the aggregate amount of revolving loans and letter of credit exposure (excluding up to $5.0 million of undrawn letters of credit and cash collateralized or backstopped letters of credit) exceeds 35% of the aggregate commitments under the Revolving Facility. ​ The Third Amended Term Loan Facility requires the Borrowers to make amortization payments (in quarterly installments) equal to 1.00% per annum with respect to the Third Amended Term Loan Facility with any remaining amount due at final maturity. The Third Amended Term Loan Facility principal payments commenced on June 30, 2021, with a final installment due on February 14, 2024. Voluntary prepayments are permitted, in whole or in part, subject to certain minimum prepayment requirements. ​ Within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year, the Borrowers are required to make a prepayment of the loan principal in an amount equal to a percentage of the excess cash flow of the most recently completed fiscal year. Excess cash flow is generally defined as net income plus depreciation and amortization expense, less mandatory prepayments of the term loan, income taxes and capital expenditures, and adjusted for the change in working capital. The percentage of the excess cash flow used to determine the amount of the prepayment of the loan declines from 50% to 25%, and again to 0% at lower leverage ratios. Pursuant to the terms of the Second Amended Term Loan Facility, our Net Leverage Ratio was 2.3x at December 31, 2020, resulting in an excess cash flow percentage of 0% and therefore, no excess cash flow payment was due in March 2021. ​ In accordance with ASC 470 – Debt ASC 470 – Debt ASU 2015-15 Interest—Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line of Credit Arrangements, ​ The carrying value of the long-term debt approximates fair value at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, and was derived from quoted market prices by independent dealers (Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures amounts in thousands ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Year Ending December 31, Amount Remainder of 2021 ​ $ 664 2022 ​ 2,656 2023 ​ 2,656 2024 ​ 246,976 Total ​ $ 252,952 ​

Derivative Instruments
Derivative Instruments	Note 9. Derivative Instruments ​ We use derivative financial instruments in the management of our interest rate exposure. Our strategy is to eliminate the cash flow risk on a portion of the variable rate debt caused by changes in the designated benchmark interest rate, LIBOR. The Company does not enter into or hold derivative financial instruments for speculative trading purposes. ​ On May 4, 2017, we entered into two identical pay-fixed, receive-variable, interest rate swaps with two different counterparties, to hedge the variability in the LIBOR interest payments on an aggregate notional value of $100.0 million of our Senior Notes, through the expiration of the swaps on March 31, 2022. At inception, these interest rate swaps were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, and as such, the unrealized changes in fair value are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”). ​ The change in the fair value of the interest rate swap agreements for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, resulted in an unrealized gain of $0.4 million and $0.5 million, respectively, and was included in AOCI net of taxes. The change in the fair value of the interest rate swap agreements for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, resulted in an unrealized gain of $1.3 million and an unrealized loss of $1.9 million, respectively, which were included in AOCI net of taxes. The Company paid $0.5 million and $0.4 million of net interest on the settlement of the interest rate swap agreements for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company paid $1.4 million and $0.9 million of net interest on the settlement of the interest rate swap agreements for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As of September 30, 2021, the Company estimates that none of the unrealized loss included in AOCI related to these interest rate swap agreements will be realized and reported in operations within the next twelve months. No gain or loss was recorded in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. ​ The aggregate fair value of the interest rate swaps was $0.9 million and $2.2 million as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, and was recorded in other long-term liabilities on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. ​ By entering into derivative instrument contracts, we are exposed to counterparty credit risk. Counterparty credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. When the fair value of a derivative contract is in an asset position, the counterparty has a liability to us, which creates credit risk for us. We attempt to minimize this risk by selecting counterparties with investment grade credit ratings and regularly monitoring our market position with each counterparty. Our derivative instruments do not contain any credit-risk related contingent features.

Derivative valuations incorporate credit risk adjustments that are necessary to reflect the probability of default by us or the counterparty. ​ The following table presents our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the levels of inputs used to measure fair value, which include derivatives designated as cash flow hedging instruments, as well as their location on our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 ( amounts in thousands ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Estimated Fair Value ​ ​ ​ ​ September 30, 2021 Category Balance Sheet Location Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Cash flow hedges: ​ ​ ​ Interest rate swap ​ Other long-term liabilities — ​ $ 907 — ​ $ 907 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Estimated Fair Value ​ ​ ​ ​ December 31, 2020 Category Balance Sheet Location Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Cash flow hedges: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Interest rate swap ​ Other long-term liabilities — ​ $ 2,231 — ​ $ 2,231 ​ Certain non-financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets and liabilities are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to periodic impairment tests. These items primarily include long-lived assets, goodwill, other intangible assets, and equity method investments. On March 31, 2021, the Company acquired the remaining 75% equity interest in Pantaya. The Company accounted for the acquisition of the remaining 75% equity interest of Pantaya as a step acquisition, which required remeasurement of the Company’s existing 25% equity interest to fair value prior to completing the acquisition method of accounting. The Company utilized a market-based valuation approach to determine the fair value of the existing equity interest by adjusting for a control premium, which was based on comparable market transactions. As a result, the Company increased the value of its existing equity interest to its fair value resulting in the recognition of a non-cash gain of $30.1 million, which was included in (loss) gain on equity method investment activity in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. For more information, see Note 3, “Business Combination” of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. There were no other changes to the fair value of non-financial assets and liabilities measured on a nonrecurring basis. ​ The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these items. The carrying value of the long-term debt approximates fair value because this instrument bears interest at a variable rate, is pre-payable, and is at terms currently available to the Company.

Stockholders' Equity
Stockholders' Equity	Note 11. Stockholders’ Equity ​ Capital stock ​ As of September 30, 2021, the Company had 20,550,862 shares of Class A common stock, and 19,720,381 shares of Class B common stock, issued and outstanding. ​ On November 18, 2020, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $20.0 million of the Class A common stock. Under the Company’s stock repurchase program, management is authorized to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock from time to time through open market purchases at prevailing prices, subject to stock price, business and market conditions and other factors. The expiration date for the repurchase plan is November 19, 2021. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company repurchased 129,735 shares of Class A common stock under the repurchase program for an aggregate purchase price of $1.3 million. As of September 30, 2021, the Company repurchased 0.2 million shares of Class A common stock under the repurchase program for an aggregate purchase price of $1.7 million, and the repurchased shares were recorded as treasury stock on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had $18.3 million remaining for future repurchases under the existing stock repurchase program. ​ Equity incentive plans ​ Effective May 25, 2021, the stockholders of all classes of capital stock of the Company approved at the annual stockholder meeting the Hemisphere Media Group, Inc. Amended and Restated 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Incentive Plan”) to increase the number of shares of Class A common stock that may be delivered under the Equity Incentive Plan to an aggregate of 10.2 million shares of our Class A common stock. At September 30, 2021, 3.1 million shares remained available for issuance of stock options or other stock-based awards under our Equity Incentive Plan (including shares of restricted Class A common stock surrendered to the Company in payment of taxes required to be withheld in respect of vested shares of restricted Class A common stock, which are available for re-issuance). The expiration date of the Equity Incentive Plan, on and after which date no awards may be granted, is April 4, 2023. The Company’s Board of Directors, or a committee thereof, administers the Equity Incentive Plan and has the sole and plenary authority to, among other things: (i) designate participants; (ii) determine the type, size, and terms and conditions of awards to be granted; and (iii) determine the method by which an award may be settled, exercised, canceled, forfeited or suspended. ​ The Company’s time-based restricted stock awards and option awards generally vest in three equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date, subject to the grantee’s continued employment or service with the Company. The Company’s performance-based restricted stock awards and option awards vest based on the achievement of certain non-market-based performance metrics of the Company, subject to the grantee’s continued employment or service with the Company. The event-based restricted stock awards granted to certain members of our Board vest on the day preceding the Company’s annual stockholder meeting. ​ Stock-based compensation ​ Stock-based compensation expense related to stock options and restricted stock was $1.7 million and $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $4.5 million and $4.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As of September 30, 2021, there was $3.7 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.5 years. As of September 30, 2021, there was $4.8 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.7 years. ​ Stock options ​ The fair value of stock options granted is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model for time-based options and performance-based options, and the Monte Carlo simulation model for event-based options.

The Company recorded the relinquishment of this non-controlling interest by Snap Distribution, Inc. as a transaction between shareholders with no gain or loss reported, which is reflected as acquisition of non-controlling interest in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity. Additionally, Snap Distribution, Inc. waived the remaining consideration payment of $0.5 million, which would have been payable in the fourth quarter of 2021, and as a result the Company recognized a gain in other income (expense), net in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Risks and uncertainties:	Risks and uncertainties: In March 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) as a pandemic, and the President of the United States declared the COVID-19 outbreak a national emergency. The impact of COVID-19 and measures to prevent its spread have continued to affect our businesses in a number of ways. Beginning in March 2020, the Company experienced adverse advertising revenue impacts. Operationally, most non-production and programming personnel are working remotely, and the Company has restricted business travel. The Company has managed the remote workforce transition effectively and there have been no material adverse impacts on operations through September 30, 2021. However, the Company is unable to reasonably predict the impact that a significant change in circumstances, including the ability of our workforce and/or key personnel to work effectively because of illness, government actions or other restrictions in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, may have on our businesses in the future. The nature and full extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our future operations will depend on numerous factors, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be reasonably predicted. These factors include the length and severity of the outbreak, including the extent of surges in positive cases related to variants of COVID-19, such as the Delta variant, as well as the availability and efficacy of vaccines and treatments for the disease and whether individuals choose to vaccinate themselves, the responses of private sector businesses and governments, including the timing and amount of government stimulus, the impact on economic activity and the impact on our customers, employees and suppliers. For more information on the risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, see “Item 1A-Risk Factors” included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. ​ The Company has evaluated and continues to evaluate the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, including the impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets and the fair value of equity method investments. The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the extent of any adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition, remains uncertain.
