The update also requires entities to disclose their accounting policy for releasing income tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive income. The updated guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the pronouncement will have on the consolidated financial statements. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;padding-left:1px;text-indent:0px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Goodwill</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:6px;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, which simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill. The new guidance eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test and eliminates the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment. Therefore, an entity will recognize impairment charges for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value, and the same impairment assessment applies to all reporting units. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The amendments in this update must be adopted on a prospective basis for the annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the pronouncement will have on the consolidated financial statements. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;padding-left:1px;text-indent:0px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Financial Instruments - Credit Losses</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:6px;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-03, which changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments, including trade and other receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities and loans, and that requires entities to use a new, forward-looking &#8220;expected loss&#8221; model that is expected to generally result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those years, but early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect that the pronouncement will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;padding-left:1px;text-indent:0px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Leases</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:6px;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, which will require lessees to recognize almost all of their leases on the balance sheet by recording a right-of-use asset and liability. The guidance also requires improved disclosures to help users of the financial statements better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The new standard is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and the new accounting guidance may be applied at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the year of adoption or at the effective date without applying the provisions of the new guidance to comparative periods presented. During the year ended </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">December&#160;31, 2018</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, the Company determined a number of adoption elections. The Company will elect to apply the guidance at the effective date without recasting the comparative periods presented. Additionally, the Company will elect to apply practical expedients that will allow it to not reassess 1) whether any expired or existing contracts previously assessed as not containing leases are, or contain, leases; 2) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and 3) initial direct costs for any existing leases. The Company will also elect to not separate lease components from non-lease components across all lease categories. Instead, each separate lease component and non-lease component will be accounted for as a single lease component. The Company will not elect to apply the practical expedient to use hindsight in determining the lease term and in assessing the right-of-use assets for impairment. Additionally, the Company will not elect to apply the short-term lease scope exemption. The Company continues to evaluate the impact that the pronouncement will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements. It is expected that assets and liabilities will increase materially when operating leases are recorded on the consolidated balance sheets under the new standard. The Company's existing operating lease obligations are included in Note 22. The pattern of expense recognition within the consolidated statements of operations is not expected to change significantly. The adoption is not expected to have an impact on the Company's ability to meet its financial covenants.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:18px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;"></font></div></div>

Management continually re-evaluates its estimates, judgments and assumptions, and management&#8217;s evaluations could change. These estimates are sometimes complex, sensitive to changes in assumptions and require fair value determinations using Level 3 fair value measurements. Actual results may differ materially from those estimates.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:6px;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">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.
