For the U.S. Networks segment, approximately </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">97%</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> of distribution revenue comes from the Company's largest </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">10</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> distributors in the U.S. For the International Networks segment, approximately </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">41%</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> of distribution revenue comes from the Company's largest </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">10</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> distributors outside of the U.S. Agreements in place with the </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">10</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> largest cable and satellite operators in the U.S. Networks and International Networks expire at various times from </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2018</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> through </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2023</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. Although the Company seeks to renew its agreements with its distributors prior to expiration of a contract, a delay in securing a renewal that results in a service disruption, a failure to secure a renewal or a renewal on less favorable terms may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. Not only could the Company experience a reduction in distribution revenue, but it could also experience a reduction in advertising revenue, as viewership is impacted by affiliate subscriber levels. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:6px;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">No individual customer accounted for more than </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">10%</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> of total consolidated revenues for the </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 or 2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. As of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">September 30, 2018</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">December 31, 2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, the Company’s trade receivables did not represent a significant concentration of credit risk as the customers and markets in which the Company operates are varied and dispersed across many geographic areas.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:6px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Financial Institutions</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:6px;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Cash and cash equivalents are maintained with several financial institutions. The Company has deposits held with banks that exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand and are maintained with financial institutions of reputable credit and, therefore, bear minimal credit risk. The Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of the financial institutions and attempts to limit exposure with any one institution. Additionally, the Company has cash and cash equivalents held by its foreign subsidiaries. Under the TCJA, the Company is subject to U.S. taxes for the deemed repatriation of certain cash balances held by foreign corporations. The Company intends to continue to permanently reinvest these funds outside of the U.S., and current plans do not demonstrate a need to repatriate them to fund our U.S. operations.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:6px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Lender Counterparties</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:6px;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">There is a risk that the counterparties associated with the Company’s revolving credit facility will not be available to fund as obligated under the terms of the facility and that the Company may, at the time of such unavailability to fund, have limited or no access to the commercial paper market. If funding under the revolving credit facility is unavailable, the Company may have to acquire a replacement credit facility from different counterparties at a higher cost or may be unable to find a suitable replacement. Typically, the Company seeks to manage such risks from its revolving credit facility by contracting with experienced large financial institutions and monitoring the credit quality of its lenders. As of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">September 30, 2018</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, the Company did not anticipate nonperformance by any of its counterparties. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:6px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Counterparty Credit Risk</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:6px;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The Company is exposed to the risk that the counterparties to outstanding derivative financial instruments will default on their obligations. The Company manages these credit risks by evaluating and monitoring the creditworthiness of, and concentration of risk with, the respective counterparties. In this regard, credit risk associated with outstanding derivative financial instruments is spread across a relatively broad counterparty base of banks and financial institutions. In connection with the Company's economic hedge of certain investments classified as common stock investments with readily determinable fair value, the Company has pledged shares as collateral to the derivative counterparty. (See Note 3.) The Company also has a limited number of arrangements where collateral is required to be posted in the instance that certain fair value thresholds are exceeded. As of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">September 30, 2018</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$8 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> of collateral has been posted by the Company under these arrangements and classified as other noncurrent assets in the consolidated balance sheets. As of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">September 30, 2018</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, our exposure to counterparty credit risk included derivative assets with an aggregate fair value of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$51 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. (See Note 4.)</font></div></div>

Management continually re-evaluates its estimates, judgments and assumptions, and management’s evaluation could change as actual results may differ materially from those estimates. These estimates are sometimes complex, sensitive to changes in assumptions and may require fair value determinations using Level 3 fair value measurements. Estimates and judgments inherent in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements include accounting for asset impairments, revenue recognition, allowances for doubtful accounts, content rights, depreciation and amortization, business combinations, share-based compensation, defined benefit plans, income taxes, other financial instruments, contingencies and the determination of whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of entities in which it holds variable interests.</font></div></div>
