8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Operating Leases

 

 

The Company has three operating leases related to its Cineverse India operations, with expiration dates in July 2027. The Company incurred $272 thousand and $423 thousand in rental expense associated with its operating leases during the years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

 

The Company did not have any sublease arrangements during the twelve months ended March 31, 2026 and accordingly did not recognize any sublease income. The Company recognized $0.2 million sublease income related to its subleasing arrangement during the twelve months ended March 31, 2025.

The table below presents the lease-related assets and liabilities recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheets (in thousands):

For leases which have a term of twelve months or less and do not contain an option to extend which the Company is

reasonably certain to implement, the Company has elected to not apply the recognition provisions of ASC 842

and recognizes these expenses on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement.

 

Because our operating leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate, the Company estimated its incremental borrowing rate to discount the lease payments based on information available at our lease commencement date. The weighted average discount rate utilized was 4.61%.

 

Commitments

 

 

In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into contractual arrangements, from time to time, under which it agrees to commitments with content providers for certain rights which are in production or have not yet been completed, delivered to, and accepted by the Company. Based on the nature of these agreements, which may be subject to delay or project abandonment, there is uncertainty with the amounts and timing of its commitments. Certain of these advances are eligible to be recouped through future revenue sharing arrangements. Based on the stage of the Company's projects, the table presented below represents an estimate of the Company's gross project commitments over the next five fiscal years (in thousands):

About Commitments Disclosures

Commitments and contingencies disclosures catalog a company's off-balance-sheet obligations and legal exposures — purchase commitments, guarantee arrangements, pending litigation, and regulatory proceedings. These items represent potential future cash outflows that may not appear as liabilities on the balance sheet until they become probable and estimable.

Key signals: litigation reserves and disclosed loss ranges quantify management's estimate of legal exposure, but unquantified "reasonably possible" losses often represent the larger risk. Watch for changes in language around pending cases — shifts from "remote" to "reasonably possible" or increases in estimated loss ranges signal deteriorating outcomes. Unconditional purchase obligations and take-or-pay contracts create fixed cost structures that reduce operational flexibility. Guarantee arrangements for subsidiaries or joint ventures can create cascading obligations. Compare the total commitment schedule against projected free cash flow to assess whether the company can meet its obligations without additional financing.
