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, but are not limited to, 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.</span></div>

Additionally, agreements covering the legacy Scripps Networks’ portfolio may expire at different dates than those covering the legacy Discovery portfolio and thus the Company may be negotiating with a higher number of the 10 largest U.S. operators as one or more of the legacy company portfolio agreements expire. 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.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:6px;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">No individual customer accounted for more than </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">10%</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> of total consolidated revenues for the </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">three and six months ended June 30, 2019 or 2018</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.
