Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (鈥淕AAP鈥) for complete financial statements. Similarly, the March 2023 consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to fairly state the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows of 大象传媒 for the interim periods presented. Operating results for the three months ended June 2023 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be
expected for any other interim period or for Fiscal 2024. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes included in 大象传媒鈥檚 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April听1, 2023 (鈥淔iscal 2023 Form 10-K鈥).
Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates
In preparing the interim consolidated financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the interim consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Standards
In March 2020, January 2021 and December 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting", ASU No. 2021-01, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope" and ASU No. 2022-06, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848", respectively. This guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The guidance is provided to ease the potential burden of accounting for reference rate reform. During the first quarter of Fiscal 2024, the Company amended the terms of its $2.25听billion senior unsecured revolving line of credit (the 鈥淕lobal Credit Facility鈥), which replaced the LIBOR benchmark interest rate with a benchmark interest rate based on the forward-looking secured overnight financing rate ("Term SOFR"). This guidance was adopted in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024, but did not impact 大象传媒's consolidated financial statements.
In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-04, "Liabilities 鈥 Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations". This guidance requires companies with supplier finance programs to disclose sufficient qualitative and quantitative information about the program to allow a user of the financial statements to understand the nature of, activity in, and potential magnitude of the program. The guidance became effective for 大象传媒 in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024, except for the rollforward information that will be effective for annual periods beginning in Fiscal 2025 on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted the required guidance in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 and is evaluating the impact of adopting the guidance related to the rollforward information. Refer to Note 8 for disclosures related to the Company鈥檚 supply chain financing program.

Fair Value Measurement
Financial assets and financial liabilities measured and reported at fair value are classified in a three-level hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation process. A financial instrument鈥檚 categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The hierarchy is based on the observability and objectivity of the pricing inputs, as follows:
Level 1 鈥 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 鈥 Significant directly observable data (other than Level 1 quoted prices) or significant indirectly observable
data through corroboration with observable market data. Inputs would normally be (i)听quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, (ii)听quoted prices in inactive markets for identical or similar assets or liabilities, or (iii)听information derived from or corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 鈥 Prices or valuation techniques that require significant unobservable data inputs. These inputs would normally be 大象传媒鈥檚 own data and judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
