(b) Included in Eliminations are transactions that our segments enter into with one another. See Note 2 for a description of these transactions. We operate primarily in the United States, but also in select international markets primarily in Europe and Asia. The table below summarizes revenue by geographic location. Three Months Ended Six Months Ended (in millions) 2018 2017 2018 2017 United States $ 19,931 $ 19,073 $ 40,816 $ 37,905 Foreign 1,804 2,213 3,710 3,968 Total revenue $ 21,735 $ 21,286 $ 44,526 $ 41,873 No single customer accounted for a significant amount of revenue in any period presented. Cable Communications Segment Residential Our Cable Communications segment generates revenue from residential customers subscribing to our video, high-speed Internet, voice, and security and automation services, which we market individually and as bundled services at a discounted rate in the United States. Revenue from residential customers that purchase bundled services at a discounted rate is allocated between the separate services based on the respective stand-alone selling prices. The stand-alone selling prices are determined based on the current prices at which we separately sell the cable services. Significant judgment is used to determine performance obligations that should be accounted for separately and the allocation of revenue when services are combined in a bundle. Revenue related to our security and automation services is reported in other revenue. We recognize revenue from residential cable services as the services are provided on a monthly basis. Subscription rates and related charges vary according to the services and features customers receive. Customers are typically billed in advance and pay on a monthly basis. Installation fees are deferred and recognized as revenue over the period of benefit to the customer, which is less than a year for residential customers. While a portion of our residential customers are subject to contracts for their cable services, which are typically 2 years in length, based on our evaluation of the terms of these contracts, we recognize revenue for these cable services on a basis that is consistent with our customers that are not subject to contracts. Our cable services generally involve customer premise equipment, such as set-top boxes, cable modems and wireless gateways. The timing and pattern of recognition for customer premise equipment revenue are consistent with those of our residential cable services. Sales commissions related to our residential customers are expensed as incurred, as the related period of benefit is less than a year. Under the terms of our cable franchise agreements, we are generally required to pay the cable franchising authority an amount based on our gross video revenue. We generally pass these and other similar fees through to our cable services customers and classify these fees in the respective cable service revenue, with the corresponding costs included in other operating and administrative expenses. Business Services Our Cable Communications segment generates revenue from business customers subscribing to a variety of products and services. Our small business services offerings primarily include high-speed Internet services, as well as voice and video services, similar to those that we provide to our residential customers, and also include cloud-based solutions that provide file sharing, online backup and web conferencing, among other features. We also offer Ethernet network services that connect multiple locations and provide higher downstream and upstream speed options to medium-sized customers and larger enterprises, as well as advanced voice services. In addition, we provide cellular backhaul services to mobile network operators to help these customers manage their network bandwidth. Recently, we have expanded our enterprise service offerings to include a software-defined networking product and our managed solutions business to offer enterprise customers support related to Wi-Fi networks, router management, network security, business continuity risks and other services. We primarily offer our enterprise service offerings to Fortune 1000 companies and other large enterprises with multiple locations both within and outside of our cable distribution footprint where we have agreements with other companies to use their networks to provide coverage. We recognize revenue from business services as the services are provided on a monthly basis. Substantially all of our business customers are initially under contracts, with terms typically ranging from 2 years for small and medium-sized businesses to up to 5 years for larger enterprises. At any given time, the amount of future revenue to be earned related to fixed pricing under existing agreements is equal to approximately half of our annual business services revenue, of which the substantial majority will be recognized within 2 years. Customers with contracts may only discontinue service in accordance with the terms of their contracts. We receive payments from business customers based on a billing schedule established in our contracts, which is typically on a monthly basis. Installation revenue related to our business services customers and sales commissions are generally deferred and recognized over the respective contract terms. Advertising Our Cable Communications segment generates revenue from the sale of advertising and from our advanced advertising business. As part of our distribution agreements with cable networks, we generally receive an allocation of scheduled advertising time on cable networks that we sell to local, regional and national advertisers. In most cases, the available advertising units are sold by our sales force. We also represent the advertising sales efforts of other multichannel video providers in some markets. Since we are acting as the principal in these arrangements, we record the advertising that is sold in advertising revenue and the fees paid to multichannel video providers in other operating and administrative expenses. In some cases, we work with representation firms as an extension of our sales force to sell a portion of the advertising units allocated to us and record the revenue net of agency commissions. In addition, we generate revenue from the sale of advertising online and on our On Demand service. We enter into advertising arrangements with customers and have determined that a contract exists once all terms and conditions are agreed upon, typically when the number of advertising units is specifically identified and the timing of airing is scheduled. Advertisements are generally aired or viewed within one year once all terms and conditions are agreed upon. Advertising revenue is recognized in the period in which advertisements are aired or viewed. Payment terms vary by contract, although terms generally require payment within 30 to 60 days from when advertisements are aired or viewed. Our advanced advertising business provide technology, tools, marketplace solutions and data-driven insights to various customers in the media industry to more effectively engage with their targeted audiences. Revenue earned from our advanced advertising business is recognized when services are provided. NBCUniversal Segments Distribution Our Cable Networks segment generates distribution revenue from the distribution of our cable network programming to traditional and virtual multichannel video providers. Our Broadcast Television segment generates distribution revenue from the fees received under retransmission consent agreements and associated fees received from NBC-affiliated local broadcast television stations. Distribution revenue is recognized as programming is provided on a monthly basis, generally under multiyear agreements. Monthly fees received under distribution agreements with multichannel video providers are generally based on the number of subscribers. Payment terms and conditions vary by contract type, although terms generally include payment within 30 to 60 days. Advertising Our Cable Networks and Broadcast Television segments generate advertising revenue from the sale of advertising on our cable and broadcast networks, our owned local broadcast television stations, and various digital properties. We enter into advertising arrangements with customers and have determined that a contract exists once all terms and conditions are agreed upon, typically when the number of advertising units is specifically identified and the timing of airing is scheduled. Advertisements are generally aired or viewed within one year once all terms are agreed upon. Advertising revenue is recognized, net of agency commissions, in the period in which advertisements are aired or viewed and payment occurs thereafter, generally within 30 days. In some instances, we guarantee audience ratings for the advertisements. To the extent there is a shortfall in contracts where the ratings were guaranteed, a portion of the revenue is deferred until the shortfall is settled, typically by providing additional advertising units generally within one year of the original airing. Theatrical Our Filmed Entertainment segment theatrical revenue is generated from the worldwide theatrical release of our produced and acquired films for exhibition in movie theaters and is affected by the timing, nature and number of films released in movie theaters and their acceptance by audiences. Theatrical revenue is also affected by the number of exhibition screens, ticket prices, the percentage of ticket sale retention by the exhibitors and the popularity of competing films at the time our films are released. We recognize theatrical revenue as the films are viewed and exhibited in theaters and payment generally occurs within 60 days after exhibition. Content Licensing Our Cable Networks, Broadcast Television and Filmed Entertainment segments generate revenue from the licensing of our owned film and television content in the United States and internationally to cable, broadcast and premium networks and subscription video on demand services. Our content licensing agreements generally include fixed pricing and span multiple years. For example, following a film’s theatrical release, our Filmed Entertainment segment may license the exhibition rights of a film to different customers over multiple successive distribution windows. We recognize revenue when the content is delivered and available for use by the licensee. When the term of an existing agreement is renewed or extended, we recognize revenue at the later of when the content is available or when the renewal or extension period begins. Payment terms and conditions vary by contract type, although payments are generally collected over the license term. The amount of future revenue to be earned related to fixed pricing under existing agreements primarily relates to our Filmed Entertainment segment, which at any given time equals approximately 1 to 2 years of our annual Filmed Entertainment content licensing revenue. The substantial majority of this revenue will be recognized within 2 years. This amount may fluctuate from period to period depending on the timing of the release and the availability of content under existing agreements and may not represent the total content licensing revenue expected to be recognized as it does not include revenue from future agreements or from variable pricing or optional purchases under existing agreements. For our content licensing agreements that also include variable pricing, such as pricing based on the number of subscribers to a subscription video on demand service, we generally recognize revenue for variable pricing as the content is delivered and available and as the variable amounts become known. Home Entertainment Our Filmed Entertainment segment generates revenue from the sale of our produced and acquired films on standard-definition digital video discs and Blu-ray discs (together, “DVDs”) and through digital distribution services. Our Cable Networks and Broadcast Television networks also generate revenue from the sale of owned programming on DVDs and through digital distribution services, which is reported in other revenue. We recognize revenue from DVD sales, net of estimated returns and customer incentives, on the date that DVDs are delivered to and made available for sale by retailers. Payment terms generally include payment within 60 to 90 days from delivery to the retailer. Theme Parks Our Theme Parks segment generates revenue primarily from ticket sales and guest spending at our Universal theme parks in Orlando, Florida; Hollywood, California; and Osaka, Japan. Guest spending includes in-park spending on food, beverages and merchandise. We recognize revenue from theme park ticket sales when the tickets are used, generally within a year from the date of purchase. For annual passes, we generally recognize revenue on a straight-line basis over the period the pass is available to be used. We recognize revenue from guest spending at the point of sale. Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet The following tables summarize our accounts receivable and other balances that are not separately presented in our condensed consolidated balance sheet that relate to the recognition of revenue and collection of the related cash , as well as deferred costs associated with our contracts with customers. (in millions) June 30, December 31, Receivables, gross $ 9,142 $ 9,122 Less: Allowance for doubtful accounts 295 288 Receivables, net $ 8,847 $ 8,834 (in millions) June 30, December 31, Noncurrent receivables, net (included in other noncurrent assets, net) $ 1,191 $ 1,184 Contract acquisition and fulfillment costs (included in other noncurrent assets, net) $ 929 $ 922 Noncurrent deferred revenue (included in other noncurrent liabilities) $ 530 $ 497 In our Cable Communications segment, we manage credit risk by screening applicants through the use of internal customer information, identification verification tools and credit bureau data, as well as offering customers the opportunity to establish automatic monthly payments. If a customer’s account is delinquent, various measures are used to collect outstanding amounts, including termination of the customer’s cable services.

Theatrical Our Filmed Entertainment segment theatrical revenue is generated from the worldwide theatrical release of our produced and acquired films for exhibition in movie theaters and is affected by the timing, nature and number of films released in movie theaters and their acceptance by audiences. Theatrical revenue is also affected by the number of exhibition screens, ticket prices, the percentage of ticket sale retention by the exhibitors and the popularity of competing films at the time our films are released. We recognize theatrical revenue as the films are viewed and exhibited in theaters and payment generally occurs within 60 days after exhibition. Content Licensing Our Cable Networks, Broadcast Television and Filmed Entertainment segments generate revenue from the licensing of our owned film and television content in the United States and internationally to cable, broadcast and premium networks and subscription video on demand services. Our content licensing agreements generally include fixed pricing and span multiple years. For example, following a film’s theatrical release, our Filmed Entertainment segment may license the exhibition rights of a film to different customers over multiple successive distribution windows. We recognize revenue when the content is delivered and available for use by the licensee. When the term of an existing agreement is renewed or extended, we recognize revenue at the later of when the content is available or when the renewal or extension period begins. Payment terms and conditions vary by contract type, although payments are generally collected over the license term. The amount of future revenue to be earned related to fixed pricing under existing agreements primarily relates to our Filmed Entertainment segment, which at any given time equals approximately 1 to 2 years of our annual Filmed Entertainment content licensing revenue. The substantial majority of this revenue will be recognized within 2 years. This amount may fluctuate from period to period depending on the timing of the release and the availability of content under existing agreements and may not represent the total content licensing revenue expected to be recognized as it does not include revenue from future agreements or from variable pricing or optional purchases under existing agreements. For our content licensing agreements that also include variable pricing, such as pricing based on the number of subscribers to a subscription video on demand service, we generally recognize revenue for variable pricing as the content is delivered and available and as the variable amounts become known. Home Entertainment Our Filmed Entertainment segment generates revenue from the sale of our produced and acquired films on standard-definition digital video discs and Blu-ray discs (together, “DVDs”) and through digital distribution services. Our Cable Networks and Broadcast Television networks also generate revenue from the sale of owned programming on DVDs and through digital distribution services, which is reported in other revenue. We recognize revenue from DVD sales, net of estimated returns and customer incentives, on the date that DVDs are delivered to and made available for sale by retailers. Payment terms generally include payment within 60 to 90 days from delivery to the retailer. Theme Parks Our Theme Parks segment generates revenue primarily from ticket sales and guest spending at our Universal theme parks in Orlando, Florida; Hollywood, California; and Osaka, Japan. Guest spending includes in-park spending on food, beverages and merchandise. We recognize revenue from theme park ticket sales when the tickets are used, generally within a year from the date of purchase. For annual passes, we generally recognize revenue on a straight-line basis over the period the pass is available to be used. We recognize revenue from guest spending at the point of sale. Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet The following tables summarize our accounts receivable and other balances that are not separately presented in our condensed consolidated balance sheet that relate to the recognition of revenue and collection of the related cash .

Significant Transactions	Significant Transactions Sky Offer On July 11, 2018, we announced an increased cash offer for the entire issued and to be issued share capital of Sky plc, which was recommended by the Sky Independent Committee. Pursuant to the increased offer, Sky shareholders will be entitled to receive £14.75 in cash for each Sky share (implying a value of approximately £26 billion , or $34 billion using the exchange rate at the time of the announcement of the increased offer, for the fully diluted share capital of Sky). If our offer is successful, completion is expected to occur before the usual date for declaration and payment of the final dividend for Sky’s fiscal year ended June 30, 2018, so the increased offer price includes an amount in lieu of any such dividend. The offer is subject to the satisfaction (or waiver, where applicable) of certain conditions, including receipt of antitrust and regulatory approvals and securing acceptances carrying more than 50% of the voting rights then normally exercisable at a general meeting of Sky. We have already received relevant regulatory approvals in the European Union, Austria, Germany, Italy and Jersey. We expect to complete the acquisition of Sky before the end of October 2018 if these conditions are satisfied or waived, as applicable. In connection with our offer, the original terms of which were announced on April 25, 2018, we have entered into an unsecured bridge credit agreement in an aggregate principal amount of up to £16 billion and an unsecured term loan credit agreement in an aggregate principal amount of up to £7 billion ( $22 billion and $10 billion , respectively, using the exchange rate at the time of announcement of the original terms of the offer), which will be guaranteed by Comcast Cable Communications, LLC and NBCUniversal. In addition, proceeds from borrowings under our existing $7 billion revolving credit facility are available to finance the cash consideration payable under the offer. Universal Beijing Resort We entered into an agreement with a consortium of Chinese state-owned companies to build and operate a Universal theme park and resort in Beijing, China (“Universal Beijing Resort”). We own a 30% interest in Universal Beijing Resort and the construction will be funded through a combination of debt financing and equity contributions from the investors in accordance with their equity interests. The debt financing, which is being provided by a syndicate of Chinese financial institutions, contains certain financial and operating covenants and a maximum borrowing limit of ¥ 26.6 billion RMB (approximately $4 billion as of quarter end). The debt financing is secured by the assets of Universal Beijing Resort and the equity interests of the investors. In June 2018, Universal Beijing Resort borrowed $235 million of term loans under the debt financing agreements. We have concluded that Universal Beijing Resort is a variable interest entity based on its governance structure, and we consolidate it because we have the power to direct activities that most significantly impact its economic performance. There are no liquidity arrangements, guarantees or other financial commitments between us and Universal Beijing Resort, and therefore our maximum risk of financial loss is our 30% interest. Universal Beijing Resort’s results of operations are reported in our Theme Parks segment. Our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows includes the costs of construction and related borrowings in the "construction of Universal Beijing Resort" and "proceeds from borrowings" captions, respectively, and equity contributions from our investing partner are included in other financing activities. In March 2018, Universal Beijing Resort received initial equity investments through a combination of cash and noncash contributions from the investors. As of June 30, 2018, our condensed consolidated balance sheet included assets, primarily property and equipment, and liabilities, including the term loans, of Universal Beijing Resort totaling $1.2 billion and $587 million , respectively. Universal Studios Japan On April 6, 2017, we acquired the remaining interests in Universal Studios Japan that we did not already own for $2.3 billion . The acquisition was funded through cash on hand and borrowings under our commercial paper program. Because we maintained control of Universal Studios Japan, the difference between the consideration transferred and the recorded value of the noncontrolling interests, as well as the related tax and accumulated other comprehensive income impacts, were recorded to additional paid-in capital.

New Accounting Pronouncements or Change in Accounting Principle [Line Items]
Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Tax Reform	Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Tax Reform Revenue Recognition In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) updated the accounting guidance related to revenue recognition. The updated accounting guidance provides a single, contract-based revenue recognition model to help improve financial reporting by providing clearer guidance on when an entity should recognize revenue and by reducing the number of standards to which an entity has to refer. The core principle of the new standard is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. We adopted the updated guidance on January 1, 2018 on a full retrospective basis, which required us to reflect the impact of the updated guidance for all periods presented. Upon adoption, we also implemented changes in our presentation of certain revenues and expenses, primarily in our Cable Communications segment. The adoption of the new standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial position for any period presented. The updated guidance also requires additional disclosures regarding the nature, timing and uncertainty of our revenue transactions (see Note 3). The tables below present the effects on our condensed consolidated statement of income and balance sheet for the prior year periods presented. Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income Three Months Ended June 30, 2017 Six Months Ended June 30, 2017 (in millions) Previously Reported Effects of Adoption As Adjusted Previously Reported Effects of Adoption As Adjusted Revenue $ 21,165 $ 121 $ 21,286 $ 41,628 $ 245 $ 41,873 Total costs and expenses $ 16,607 $ 111 $ 16,718 $ 32,540 $ 223 $ 32,763 Operating income $ 4,558 $ 10 $ 4,568 $ 9,088 $ 22 $ 9,110 Net income attributable to Comcast Corporation $ 2,513 $ 8 $ 2,521 $ 5,079 $ 15 $ 5,094 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet December 31, 2017 (in millions) Previously Reported Effects of Adoption As Adjusted Total current assets $ 16,060 $ 283 $ 16,343 Film and television costs $ 7,076 $ 11 $ 7,087 Other intangible assets, net $ 18,779 $ (646 ) $ 18,133 Other noncurrent assets, net $ 3,489 $ 865 $ 4,354 Total assets $ 186,949 $ 513 $ 187,462 Total current liabilities $ 21,561 $ 432 $ 21,993 Deferred income taxes $ 24,256 $ 3 $ 24,259 Other noncurrent liabilities $ 10,904 $ 68 $ 10,972 Total equity $ 69,449 $ 10 $ 69,459 Total liabilities and equity $ 186,949 $ 513 $ 187,462 Cable Communications A summary of the changes implemented for the Cable Communications segment is presented below. Changes to Presentation of Revenue and Related Costs • Revenue from our residential video services decreased with corresponding increases to high-speed Internet and voice revenue due to a change in the allocation of revenue among our cable services included in a bundle that our residential customers purchase at a discount. • Revenue from franchise and other regulatory fees, which was previously presented in other revenue, is now presented with the corresponding cable services. This resulted in increases to video, voice and business services revenue. • Residential customer late fees are now presented in other revenue. These fees were previously presented as a reduction to other operating costs and expenses. • Certain costs, including costs related to the fulfillment of contracts with customers, are now presented as other assets and the related costs are recognized over time in operating costs and expenses, which are comprised of total costs and expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization expense and other operating gains. These amounts were previously presented as intangible assets, and the expenses were previously presented in amortization expense. The payments related to these assets are now presented in net cash provided by operating activities rather than in cash paid for intangible assets in our consolidated statement of cash flows. Changes to the Timing of Recognition of Revenue and Related Costs • Installation revenue and commission expense are now recognized as revenue and operating costs and expenses, respectively, over a period of time rather than recognized immediately as they were previously. We recorded a deferred revenue liability related to upfront installation fees that are not distinct services, which required us to allocate the installation fees to the respective service. The installation fees are generally recognized as revenue over the period that the fee would influence a customer to renew their service. This period is less than a year for residential customers and the term of the related contract for business services customers. Incremental costs to obtain a contract with a customer, such as commissions for our business customers, are now deferred and recognized over the contract term. Sales commissions related to our residential customers are expensed as incurred as the related period of benefit is less than a year. The table below presents the effects these changes had on our Cable Communications segment revenue, operating costs and expenses, and depreciation and amortization expense as a result of the updated guidance for the prior year period. Previously reported amounts are based on amounts previously presented in the segment information footnote. Three Months Ended June 30, 2017 Six Months Ended June 30, 2017 (in millions) Previously Reported Effects of Adoption As Adjusted Previously Reported Effects of Adoption As Adjusted Residential: Video $ 5,797 $ (57 ) $ 5,740 $ 11,571 $ (125 ) $ 11,446 High-speed Internet 3,679 219 3,898 7,285 455 7,740 Voice 856 178 1,034 1,719 349 2,068 Business services 1,531 54 1,585 3,021 107 3,128 Advertising 574 52 626 1,086 94 1,180 Other 685 (311 ) 374 1,352 (607 ) 745 Total Cable Communications revenue $ 13,122 $ 135 $ 13,257 $ 26,034 $ 273 $ 26,307 Operating costs and expenses $ 7,802 $ 162 $ 7,964 $ 15,516 $ 324 $ 15,840 Depreciation and amortization expense $ 2,001 $ (34 ) $ 1,967 $ 3,981 $ (68 ) $ 3,913 NBCUniversal Segments The adoption of the updated guidance impacted the timing of recognition for some of our revenue contracts, primarily for content licensing agreements. As a result of the adoption of the updated guidance, when the term of existing content licensing agreements is renewed or extended, revenue is not recognized until the date when the renewal or extension period begins. Under the prior guidance, revenue for the content licensing renewal period was recognized on the date that the renewal was agreed to contractually. This change resulted in delayed revenue recognition for content licensing renewals or extensions in our Cable Networks, Broadcast Television and Filmed Entertainment segments. This change also impacted the timing of the related amortization of our film and television costs and participations and residuals expenses. The adoption of the updated guidance did not have a material impact on the results of operations or financial position for the NBCUniversal segments. Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities In January 2016, the FASB updated the accounting guidance related to the recognition and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities. The updated accounting guidance, among other things, requires that all nonconsolidated equity investments, except those accounted for under the equity method, be measured at fair value and the changes in fair value be recognized in net income. On January 1, 2018, we adopted the updated guidance prospectively along with a related clarifying update and as a result, we recorded an immaterial cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings, accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and investments. See Note 9 for further information. Tax Reform On December 22, 2017, new federal tax reform legislation was enacted in the United States (“2017 Tax Act”), resulting in significant changes from previous tax law. The new legislation reduced the federal corporate income tax rate to 21% from 35% effective January 1, 2018. In the fourth quarter of 2017, we recorded a net income tax benefit of approximately $12.7 billion on the date of enactment of the new legislation, primarily relating to a reduction of our net deferred tax liabilities as a result of the rate change. This amount also includes the reversal of our net deferred tax liabilities related to cumulative undistributed foreign earnings and deferred tax assets for related foreign tax credits, partially offset by the one-time deemed repatriation tax on undistributed foreign earnings and profits. The adjustments to deferred tax assets and liabilities, and the liability related to the transition tax, are provisional amounts based on information available as of June 30, 2018. These amounts are subject to change as we obtain information necessary to complete the calculations. During the three months ended June 30, 2018 , we recorded immaterial adjustments to the provisional amounts related to the cumulative temporary differences and the one-time deemed repatriation tax on undistributed foreign earnings and profits. We expect to complete our analysis of the provisional items during the second half of 2018. In February 2018, the FASB issued guidance that permits companies to reclassify disproportionate tax effects recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income as a result of the 2017 Tax Act to retained earnings. We adopted the guidance as of January 1, 2018 and as a result we recorded an immaterial cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings and accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). In February 2018, the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 was enacted. As part of this legislation, various tax provisions that had expired on December 31, 2016 were retroactively extended to December 31, 2017, including the statute permitting the immediate deduction for certain film and television production costs. We recorded an income tax benefit of $128 million in the first quarter of 2018 as a result of the enactment of this legislation. Restricted Cash In November 2016, the FASB updated the accounting guidance related to restricted cash. The new standard requires that the statement of cash flows present the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents, and a reconciliation of such total to amounts on the balance sheet. We adopted the updated guidance on January 1, 2018 and as required applied the retrospective transition method. The adoption did not have a material impact for any period presented. Leases In February 2016, the FASB updated the accounting guidance related to leases. The updated accounting guidance requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with the exception of short-term leases. The asset and liability are initially measured based on the present value of committed lease payments. For a lessee, the recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease do not significantly change from previous guidance. For a lessor, the accounting applied is also largely unchanged from previous guidance. The updated guidance is effective for us as of January 1, 2019 and early adoption is permitted. We are currently in the process of determining the impact that the updated accounting guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.

The investment categories presented in the table above are based on the new guidance and updated policies, where applicable, are presented below. Equity Method Atairos In February 2018, we amended our agreement with Atairos, which primarily increases our commitment to fund Atairos from up to $4 billion to up to $5 billion in the aggregate at any one time, subject to certain offsets. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we had an investment in Atairos of $2.7 billion and $2.4 billion , respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, we made cash capital contributions to Atairos totaling $112 million and $994 million , respectively. Atairos follows investment company accounting and records its investments at their fair values each reporting period with the net gains or losses reflected in its statement of income. We recognize our share of Atairos’ income and losses in equity in net income (losses) of investees, net. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , our share of Atairos income was $151 million and $186 million , respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , our share of Atairos income was $42 million and $99 million , respectively. In April 2018, we sold a controlling interest in our arena management-related businesses to Atairos and received as consideration additional equity interests in Atairos. We account for our retained ownership in the businesses as an equity method investment. In connection with the sale of the businesses, we recognized a pretax gain of $200 million in other operating gains for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 . Hulu As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we had an investment in Hulu of $238 million and $249 million , respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, we made cash capital contributions to Hulu totaling $227 million and $99 million , respectively. We recognize our proportionate share of Hulu’s income and losses in equity in net income (losses) of investees, net. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , we recognized our proportionate share of Hulu’s losses of $107 million and $238 million , respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , we recognized our proportionate share of Hulu’s losses of $52 million and $106 million , respectively. The Weather Channel In March 2018, we sold our investment in The Weather Channel cable network and recognized a pretax gain of $64 million in other income (loss), net. Marketable Equity Securities We classify publicly traded investments with readily determinable fair values that are not accounted for under the equity method as marketable equity securities. Marketable equity securities are recorded at cost and adjusted to fair value at each reporting period. The changes in fair value between measurement dates are recorded in realized and unrealized gains (losses) on equity securities, net. The fair values of our marketable equity securities are based on Level 1 inputs that use quoted market prices. Snap In March 2017, we acquired an interest in Snap Inc. for $500 million as part of its initial public offering, which we have classified as a marketable equity security. Snap is a camera company whose primary product is Snapchat, a camera app that was created to help people communicate through short videos and images. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we had an investment in Snap of $385 million and $430 million , respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , we recognized unrealized losses of $82 million and $45 million , respectively, in realized and unrealized gains (losses) on equity securities, net related to our investment in Snap. Nonmarketable Equity Securities We classify investments without readily determinable fair values that are not accounted for under the equity method as nonmarketable equity securities. The accounting guidance requires nonmarketable equity securities to be recorded at cost and adjusted to fair value at each reporting period. However, the guidance allows for a measurement alternative, which is to record the investments at cost, less impairment, if any, and subsequently adjust for observable price changes of identical or similar investments of the same issuer. We apply this measurement alternative to a majority of our nonmarketable equity securities. When an observable event occurs, we estimate the fair values of our nonmarketable equity securities based on Level 2 inputs that are derived from observable price changes of similar securities adjusted for insignificant differences in rights and obligations. The changes in value are recorded in realized and unrealized gains (losses) on equity securities, net. Other Investments AirTouch We hold two series of preferred stock of Verizon Americas, Inc., formerly known as AirTouch Communications, Inc. (“AirTouch”), a subsidiary of Verizon Communications Inc., which are redeemable in April 2020. As of both June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we had an investment in AirTouch of $1.6 billion . We account for our investment in AirTouch as a held to maturity investment using the cost method. As of June 30, 2018 , the estimated fair value of the AirTouch preferred stock and the estimated fair value of the associated liability related to the redeemable subsidiary preferred shares issued by one of our consolidated subsidiaries were each $1.7 billion . The estimated fair values are based on Level 2 inputs that use pricing models whose inputs are derived primarily from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation or other means for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

Snap is a camera company whose primary product is Snapchat, a camera app that was created to help people communicate through short videos and images.

Accounting Policies [Line Items]
Basis of Presentation	We have prepared these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements based on SEC rules that permit reduced disclosure for interim periods. These financial statements include all adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of our consolidated results of operations, cash flows and financial condition for the periods shown, including normal, recurring accruals and other items. The consolidated results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). For a more complete discussion of our accounting policies and certain other information, refer to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K and the footnotes within this Form 10-Q.
Revenue Recognition	Cable Communications Segment Residential Our Cable Communications segment generates revenue from residential customers subscribing to our video, high-speed Internet, voice, and security and automation services, which we market individually and as bundled services at a discounted rate in the United States. Revenue from residential customers that purchase bundled services at a discounted rate is allocated between the separate services based on the respective stand-alone selling prices. The stand-alone selling prices are determined based on the current prices at which we separately sell the cable services. Significant judgment is used to determine performance obligations that should be accounted for separately and the allocation of revenue when services are combined in a bundle. Revenue related to our security and automation services is reported in other revenue. We recognize revenue from residential cable services as the services are provided on a monthly basis. Subscription rates and related charges vary according to the services and features customers receive. Customers are typically billed in advance and pay on a monthly basis. Installation fees are deferred and recognized as revenue over the period of benefit to the customer, which is less than a year for residential customers. While a portion of our residential customers are subject to contracts for their cable services, which are typically 2 years in length, based on our evaluation of the terms of these contracts, we recognize revenue for these cable services on a basis that is consistent with our customers that are not subject to contracts. Our cable services generally involve customer premise equipment, such as set-top boxes, cable modems and wireless gateways. The timing and pattern of recognition for customer premise equipment revenue are consistent with those of our residential cable services. Sales commissions related to our residential customers are expensed as incurred, as the related period of benefit is less than a year. Under the terms of our cable franchise agreements, we are generally required to pay the cable franchising authority an amount based on our gross video revenue. We generally pass these and other similar fees through to our cable services customers and classify these fees in the respective cable service revenue, with the corresponding costs included in other operating and administrative expenses. Business Services Our Cable Communications segment generates revenue from business customers subscribing to a variety of products and services. Our small business services offerings primarily include high-speed Internet services, as well as voice and video services, similar to those that we provide to our residential customers, and also include cloud-based solutions that provide file sharing, online backup and web conferencing, among other features. We also offer Ethernet network services that connect multiple locations and provide higher downstream and upstream speed options to medium-sized customers and larger enterprises, as well as advanced voice services. In addition, we provide cellular backhaul services to mobile network operators to help these customers manage their network bandwidth. Recently, we have expanded our enterprise service offerings to include a software-defined networking product and our managed solutions business to offer enterprise customers support related to Wi-Fi networks, router management, network security, business continuity risks and other services. We primarily offer our enterprise service offerings to Fortune 1000 companies and other large enterprises with multiple locations both within and outside of our cable distribution footprint where we have agreements with other companies to use their networks to provide coverage. We recognize revenue from business services as the services are provided on a monthly basis. Substantially all of our business customers are initially under contracts, with terms typically ranging from 2 years for small and medium-sized businesses to up to 5 years for larger enterprises. At any given time, the amount of future revenue to be earned related to fixed pricing under existing agreements is equal to approximately half of our annual business services revenue, of which the substantial majority will be recognized within 2 years. Customers with contracts may only discontinue service in accordance with the terms of their contracts. We receive payments from business customers based on a billing schedule established in our contracts, which is typically on a monthly basis. Installation revenue related to our business services customers and sales commissions are generally deferred and recognized over the respective contract terms. Advertising Our Cable Communications segment generates revenue from the sale of advertising and from our advanced advertising business. As part of our distribution agreements with cable networks, we generally receive an allocation of scheduled advertising time on cable networks that we sell to local, regional and national advertisers. In most cases, the available advertising units are sold by our sales force. We also represent the advertising sales efforts of other multichannel video providers in some markets. Since we are acting as the principal in these arrangements, we record the advertising that is sold in advertising revenue and the fees paid to multichannel video providers in other operating and administrative expenses. In some cases, we work with representation firms as an extension of our sales force to sell a portion of the advertising units allocated to us and record the revenue net of agency commissions. In addition, we generate revenue from the sale of advertising online and on our On Demand service. We enter into advertising arrangements with customers and have determined that a contract exists once all terms and conditions are agreed upon, typically when the number of advertising units is specifically identified and the timing of airing is scheduled. Advertisements are generally aired or viewed within one year once all terms and conditions are agreed upon. Advertising revenue is recognized in the period in which advertisements are aired or viewed. Payment terms vary by contract, although terms generally require payment within 30 to 60 days from when advertisements are aired or viewed. Our advanced advertising business provide technology, tools, marketplace solutions and data-driven insights to various customers in the media industry to more effectively engage with their targeted audiences. Revenue earned from our advanced advertising business is recognized when services are provided. NBCUniversal Segments Distribution Our Cable Networks segment generates distribution revenue from the distribution of our cable network programming to traditional and virtual multichannel video providers. Our Broadcast Television segment generates distribution revenue from the fees received under retransmission consent agreements and associated fees received from NBC-affiliated local broadcast television stations. Distribution revenue is recognized as programming is provided on a monthly basis, generally under multiyear agreements. Monthly fees received under distribution agreements with multichannel video providers are generally based on the number of subscribers. Payment terms and conditions vary by contract type, although terms generally include payment within 30 to 60 days. Advertising Our Cable Networks and Broadcast Television segments generate advertising revenue from the sale of advertising on our cable and broadcast networks, our owned local broadcast television stations, and various digital properties. We enter into advertising arrangements with customers and have determined that a contract exists once all terms and conditions are agreed upon, typically when the number of advertising units is specifically identified and the timing of airing is scheduled. Advertisements are generally aired or viewed within one year once all terms are agreed upon. Advertising revenue is recognized, net of agency commissions, in the period in which advertisements are aired or viewed and payment occurs thereafter, generally within 30 days. In some instances, we guarantee audience ratings for the advertisements. To the extent there is a shortfall in contracts where the ratings were guaranteed, a portion of the revenue is deferred until the shortfall is settled, typically by providing additional advertising units generally within one year of the original airing. Theatrical Our Filmed Entertainment segment theatrical revenue is generated from the worldwide theatrical release of our produced and acquired films for exhibition in movie theaters and is affected by the timing, nature and number of films released in movie theaters and their acceptance by audiences. Theatrical revenue is also affected by the number of exhibition screens, ticket prices, the percentage of ticket sale retention by the exhibitors and the popularity of competing films at the time our films are released. We recognize theatrical revenue as the films are viewed and exhibited in theaters and payment generally occurs within 60 days after exhibition. Content Licensing Our Cable Networks, Broadcast Television and Filmed Entertainment segments generate revenue from the licensing of our owned film and television content in the United States and internationally to cable, broadcast and premium networks and subscription video on demand services. Our content licensing agreements generally include fixed pricing and span multiple years. For example, following a film’s theatrical release, our Filmed Entertainment segment may license the exhibition rights of a film to different customers over multiple successive distribution windows. We recognize revenue when the content is delivered and available for use by the licensee. When the term of an existing agreement is renewed or extended, we recognize revenue at the later of when the content is available or when the renewal or extension period begins. Payment terms and conditions vary by contract type, although payments are generally collected over the license term. The amount of future revenue to be earned related to fixed pricing under existing agreements primarily relates to our Filmed Entertainment segment, which at any given time equals approximately 1 to 2 years of our annual Filmed Entertainment content licensing revenue. The substantial majority of this revenue will be recognized within 2 years. This amount may fluctuate from period to period depending on the timing of the release and the availability of content under existing agreements and may not represent the total content licensing revenue expected to be recognized as it does not include revenue from future agreements or from variable pricing or optional purchases under existing agreements. For our content licensing agreements that also include variable pricing, such as pricing based on the number of subscribers to a subscription video on demand service, we generally recognize revenue for variable pricing as the content is delivered and available and as the variable amounts become known. Home Entertainment Our Filmed Entertainment segment generates revenue from the sale of our produced and acquired films on standard-definition digital video discs and Blu-ray discs (together, “DVDs”) and through digital distribution services. Our Cable Networks and Broadcast Television networks also generate revenue from the sale of owned programming on DVDs and through digital distribution services, which is reported in other revenue. We recognize revenue from DVD sales, net of estimated returns and customer incentives, on the date that DVDs are delivered to and made available for sale by retailers. Payment terms generally include payment within 60 to 90 days from delivery to the retailer. Theme Parks Our Theme Parks segment generates revenue primarily from ticket sales and guest spending at our Universal theme parks in Orlando, Florida; Hollywood, California; and Osaka, Japan. Guest spending includes in-park spending on food, beverages and merchandise. We recognize revenue from theme park ticket sales when the tickets are used, generally within a year from the date of purchase. For annual passes, we generally recognize revenue on a straight-line basis over the period the pass is available to be used. We recognize revenue from guest spending at the point of sale.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Revenue Recognition In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) updated the accounting guidance related to revenue recognition. The updated accounting guidance provides a single, contract-based revenue recognition model to help improve financial reporting by providing clearer guidance on when an entity should recognize revenue and by reducing the number of standards to which an entity has to refer. The core principle of the new standard is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. We adopted the updated guidance on January 1, 2018 on a full retrospective basis, which required us to reflect the impact of the updated guidance for all periods presented. Upon adoption, we also implemented changes in our presentation of certain revenues and expenses, primarily in our Cable Communications segment. The adoption of the new standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial position for any period presented. The updated guidance also requires additional disclosures regarding the nature, timing and uncertainty of our revenue transactions (see Note 3). The tables below present the effects on our condensed consolidated statement of income and balance sheet for the prior year periods presented.

Changes to Presentation of Revenue and Related Costs • Revenue from our residential video services decreased with corresponding increases to high-speed Internet and voice revenue due to a change in the allocation of revenue among our cable services included in a bundle that our residential customers purchase at a discount. • Revenue from franchise and other regulatory fees, which was previously presented in other revenue, is now presented with the corresponding cable services. This resulted in increases to video, voice and business services revenue. • Residential customer late fees are now presented in other revenue. These fees were previously presented as a reduction to other operating costs and expenses. • Certain costs, including costs related to the fulfillment of contracts with customers, are now presented as other assets and the related costs are recognized over time in operating costs and expenses, which are comprised of total costs and expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization expense and other operating gains. These amounts were previously presented as intangible assets, and the expenses were previously presented in amortization expense. The payments related to these assets are now presented in net cash provided by operating activities rather than in cash paid for intangible assets in our consolidated statement of cash flows. Changes to the Timing of Recognition of Revenue and Related Costs • Installation revenue and commission expense are now recognized as revenue and operating costs and expenses, respectively, over a period of time rather than recognized immediately as they were previously. We recorded a deferred revenue liability related to upfront installation fees that are not distinct services, which required us to allocate the installation fees to the respective service. The installation fees are generally recognized as revenue over the period that the fee would influence a customer to renew their service. This period is less than a year for residential customers and the term of the related contract for business services customers. Incremental costs to obtain a contract with a customer, such as commissions for our business customers, are now deferred and recognized over the contract term. Sales commissions related to our residential customers are expensed as incurred as the related period of benefit is less than a year. The table below presents the effects these changes had on our Cable Communications segment revenue, operating costs and expenses, and depreciation and amortization expense as a result of the updated guidance for the prior year period. Previously reported amounts are based on amounts previously presented in the segment information footnote.

As a result of the adoption of the updated guidance, when the term of existing content licensing agreements is renewed or extended, revenue is not recognized until the date when the renewal or extension period begins. Under the prior guidance, revenue for the content licensing renewal period was recognized on the date that the renewal was agreed to contractually. This change resulted in delayed revenue recognition for content licensing renewals or extensions in our Cable Networks, Broadcast Television and Filmed Entertainment segments. This change also impacted the timing of the related amortization of our film and television costs and participations and residuals expenses. The adoption of the updated guidance did not have a material impact on the results of operations or financial position for the NBCUniversal segments. Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities In January 2016, the FASB updated the accounting guidance related to the recognition and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities. The updated accounting guidance, among other things, requires that all nonconsolidated equity investments, except those accounted for under the equity method, be measured at fair value and the changes in fair value be recognized in net income. On January 1, 2018, we adopted the updated guidance prospectively along with a related clarifying update and as a result, we recorded an immaterial cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings, accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and investments. See Note 9 for further information. Tax Reform On December 22, 2017, new federal tax reform legislation was enacted in the United States (“2017 Tax Act”), resulting in significant changes from previous tax law. The new legislation reduced the federal corporate income tax rate to 21% from 35% effective January 1, 2018. In the fourth quarter of 2017, we recorded a net income tax benefit of approximately $12.7 billion on the date of enactment of the new legislation, primarily relating to a reduction of our net deferred tax liabilities as a result of the rate change. This amount also includes the reversal of our net deferred tax liabilities related to cumulative undistributed foreign earnings and deferred tax assets for related foreign tax credits, partially offset by the one-time deemed repatriation tax on undistributed foreign earnings and profits. The adjustments to deferred tax assets and liabilities, and the liability related to the transition tax, are provisional amounts based on information available as of June 30, 2018. These amounts are subject to change as we obtain information necessary to complete the calculations. During the three months ended June 30, 2018 , we recorded immaterial adjustments to the provisional amounts related to the cumulative temporary differences and the one-time deemed repatriation tax on undistributed foreign earnings and profits. We expect to complete our analysis of the provisional items during the second half of 2018. In February 2018, the FASB issued guidance that permits companies to reclassify disproportionate tax effects recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income as a result of the 2017 Tax Act to retained earnings. We adopted the guidance as of January 1, 2018 and as a result we recorded an immaterial cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings and accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). In February 2018, the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 was enacted. As part of this legislation, various tax provisions that had expired on December 31, 2016 were retroactively extended to December 31, 2017, including the statute permitting the immediate deduction for certain film and television production costs. We recorded an income tax benefit of $128 million in the first quarter of 2018 as a result of the enactment of this legislation. Restricted Cash In November 2016, the FASB updated the accounting guidance related to restricted cash. The new standard requires that the statement of cash flows present the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents, and a reconciliation of such total to amounts on the balance sheet. We adopted the updated guidance on January 1, 2018 and as required applied the retrospective transition method. The adoption did not have a material impact for any period presented. Leases In February 2016, the FASB updated the accounting guidance related to leases. The updated accounting guidance requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with the exception of short-term leases. The asset and liability are initially measured based on the present value of committed lease payments. For a lessee, the recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease do not significantly change from previous guidance. For a lessor, the accounting applied is also largely unchanged from previous guidance. The updated guidance is effective for us as of January 1, 2019 and early adoption is permitted. We are currently in the process of determining the impact that the updated accounting guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.
Investments	Nonmarketable Equity Securities We classify investments without readily determinable fair values that are not accounted for under the equity method as nonmarketable equity securities. The accounting guidance requires nonmarketable equity securities to be recorded at cost and adjusted to fair value at each reporting period. However, the guidance allows for a measurement alternative, which is to record the investments at cost, less impairment, if any, and subsequently adjust for observable price changes of identical or similar investments of the same issuer. We apply this measurement alternative to a majority of our nonmarketable equity securities. When an observable event occurs, we estimate the fair values of our nonmarketable equity securities based on Level 2 inputs that are derived from observable price changes of similar securities adjusted for insignificant differences in rights and obligations. The changes in value are recorded in realized and unrealized gains (losses) on equity securities, net. Marketable Equity Securities We classify publicly traded investments with readily determinable fair values that are not accounted for under the equity method as marketable equity securities. Marketable equity securities are recorded at cost and adjusted to fair value at each reporting period. The changes in fair value between measurement dates are recorded in realized and unrealized gains (losses) on equity securities, net. The fair values of our marketable equity securities are based on Level 1 inputs that use quoted market prices.

Basis of Presentation	Unless indicated otherwise, throughout these notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements, we refer to NBCUniversal and its consolidated subsidiaries as “we,” “us” and “our.” We have prepared these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements based on SEC rules that permit reduced disclosure for interim periods. These financial statements include all adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of our consolidated results of operations, cash flows and financial condition for the periods shown, including normal, recurring accruals and other items. The consolidated results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). For a more complete discussion of our accounting policies and certain other information, refer to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K and the footnotes within this Form 10-Q.
Revenue Recognition	Distribution Our Cable Networks segment generates distribution revenue from the distribution of our cable network programming to traditional and virtual multichannel video providers. Our Broadcast Television segment generates distribution revenue from the fees received under retransmission consent agreements and associated fees received from NBC-affiliated local broadcast television stations. Distribution revenue is recognized as programming is provided on a monthly basis, generally under multiyear agreements. Monthly fees received under distribution agreements with multichannel video providers are generally based on the number of subscribers. Payment terms and conditions vary by contract type, although terms generally include payment within 30 to 60 days. Advertising Our Cable Networks and Broadcast Television segments generate advertising revenue from the sale of advertising on our cable and broadcast networks, our owned local broadcast television stations, and various digital properties. We enter into advertising arrangements with customers and have determined that a contract exists once all terms and conditions are agreed upon, typically when the number of advertising units is specifically identified and the timing of airing is scheduled. Advertisements are generally aired or viewed within one year once all terms are agreed upon. Advertising revenue is recognized, net of agency commissions, in the period in which advertisements are aired or viewed and payment occurs thereafter, generally within 30 days. In some instances, we guarantee audience ratings for the advertisements. To the extent there is a shortfall in contracts where the ratings were guaranteed, a portion of the revenue is deferred until the shortfall is settled, typically by providing additional advertising units generally within one year of the original airing. Theatrical Our Filmed Entertainment segment theatrical revenue is generated from the worldwide theatrical release of our produced and acquired films for exhibition in movie theaters and is affected by the timing, nature and number of films released in movie theaters and their acceptance by audiences. Theatrical revenue is also affected by the number of exhibition screens, ticket prices, the percentage of ticket sale retention by the exhibitors and the popularity of competing films at the time our films are released. We recognize theatrical revenue as the films are viewed and exhibited in theaters and payment generally occurs within 60 days after exhibition. Content Licensing Our Cable Networks, Broadcast Television and Filmed Entertainment segments generate revenue from the licensing of our owned film and television content in the United States and internationally to cable, broadcast and premium networks and subscription video on demand services. Our content licensing agreements generally include fixed pricing and span multiple years. For example, following a film’s theatrical release, our Filmed Entertainment segment may license the exhibition rights of a film to different customers over multiple successive distribution windows. We recognize revenue when the content is delivered and available for use by the licensee. When the term of an existing agreement is renewed or extended, we recognize revenue at the later of when the content is available or when the renewal or extension period begins. Payment terms and conditions vary by contract type, although payments are generally collected over the license term. The amount of future revenue to be earned related to fixed pricing under existing agreements primarily relates to our Filmed Entertainment segment, which at any given time equals approximately 1 to 2 years of our annual Filmed Entertainment content licensing revenue. The substantial majority of this revenue will be recognized within 2 years. This amount may fluctuate from period to period depending on the timing of the release and the availability of content under existing agreements and may not represent the total content licensing revenue expected to be recognized as it does not include revenue from future agreements or from variable pricing or optional purchases under existing agreements. For our content licensing agreements that also include variable pricing, such as pricing based on the number of subscribers to a subscription video on demand service, we generally recognize revenue for variable pricing as the content is delivered and available and as the variable amounts become known. Home Entertainment Our Filmed Entertainment segment generates revenue from the sale of our produced and acquired films on standard-definition digital video discs and Blu-ray discs (together, “DVDs”) and through digital distribution services. Our Cable Networks and Broadcast Television networks also generate revenue from the sale of owned programming on DVDs and through digital distribution services, which is reported in other revenue. We recognize revenue from DVD sales, net of estimated returns and customer incentives, on the date that DVDs are delivered to and made available for sale by retailers. Payment terms generally include payment within 60 to 90 days from delivery to the retailer. Theme Parks Our Theme Parks segment generates revenue primarily from ticket sales and guest spending at our Universal theme parks in Orlando, Florida; Hollywood, California; and Osaka, Japan. Guest spending includes in-park spending on food, beverages and merchandise. We recognize revenue from theme park ticket sales when the tickets are used, generally within a year from the date of purchase. For annual passes, we generally recognize revenue on a straight-line basis over the period the pass is available to be used. We recognize revenue from guest spending at the point of sale.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Revenue Recognition In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) updated the accounting guidance related to revenue recognition. The updated accounting guidance provides a single, contract-based revenue recognition model to help improve financial reporting by providing clearer guidance on when an entity should recognize revenue and by reducing the number of standards to which an entity has to refer. The core principle of the new standard is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. We adopted the updated guidance on January 1, 2018 on a full retrospective basis, which required us to reflect the impact of the updated guidance for all periods presented. The adoption of the new standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial position for any period presented. The updated guidance also requires additional disclosures regarding the nature, timing and uncertainty of our revenue transactions (see Note 3). The tables below present the effects on our condensed consolidated statement of income and balance sheet for the prior year periods presented.

As a result of the adoption of the updated guidance, when the term of existing content licensing agreements is renewed or extended, revenue is not recognized until the date when the renewal or extension period begins. Under the prior guidance, revenue for the content licensing renewal period was recognized on the date that the renewal was agreed to contractually. This change resulted in delayed revenue recognition for content licensing renewals or extensions in our Cable Networks, Broadcast Television and Filmed Entertainment segments. This change also impacted the timing of the related amortization of our film and television costs and participations and residuals expenses. The adoption of the updated guidance did not have a material impact on the results of operations or financial position for our reportable segments. Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities In January 2016, the FASB updated the accounting guidance related to the recognition and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities. The updated accounting guidance, among other things, requires that all nonconsolidated equity investments, except those accounted for under the equity method, be measured at fair value and the changes in fair value be recognized in net income. On January 1, 2018, we adopted the updated guidance prospectively along with a related clarifying update and as a result, we recorded a $232 million cumulative effect adjustment to member’s capital and accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). See Note 8 for further information. Restricted Cash In November 2016, the FASB updated the accounting guidance related to restricted cash. The new standard requires that the statement of cash flows present the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents, and a reconciliation of such total to amounts on the balance sheet. We adopted the updated guidance on January 1, 2018 and as required applied the retrospective transition method. The adoption did not have a material impact for any period presented.

Investments	Marketable Equity Securities We classify publicly traded investments with readily determinable fair values that are not accounted for under the equity method as marketable equity securities. Marketable equity securities are recorded at cost and adjusted to fair value at each reporting period. The changes in fair value between measurement dates are recorded in realized and unrealized gains (losses) on equity securities, net. The fair values of our marketable equity securities are based on Level 1 inputs that use quoted market prices. Nonmarketable Equity Securities We classify investments without readily determinable fair values that are not accounted for under the equity method as nonmarketable equity securities. The accounting guidance requires nonmarketable equity securities to be recorded at cost and adjusted to fair value at each reporting period. However, the guidance allows for a measurement alternative, which is to record the investments at cost, less impairment, if any, and subsequently adjust for observable price changes of identical or similar investments of the same issuer.
