NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
All amounts included in the following Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in thousands, except per share data or as otherwise noted.
Note 1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
Description of Business
MSG Networks Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”), incorporated on July 29, 2009, owns and operates two regional sports and entertainment networks, MSG Network and MSG+, collectively “MSG Networks.” MSG Networks feature a wide range of compelling sports content, including exclusive live local games and other programming of the New York Knicks (the “Knicks”) of the National Basketball Association (“NBA”); the New York Rangers (the “Rangers”), New York Islanders, New Jersey Devils (the “Devils”) and Buffalo Sabres of the National Hockey League (“NHL”); as well as significant coverage of the New York Giants and Buffalo Bills of the National Football League.
On September 30, 2015, the Company distributed to its stockholders all of the outstanding common stock of Madison Square Garden Sports Corp. (formerly, The Madison Square Garden Company) (together with its subsidiaries, “MSGS”) (the “Distribution”).
The Company operates and reports financial information in one segment. Substantially all revenues and assets of the Company are attributed to or located in the United States and are primarily concentrated in the New York City metropolitan area.
Unaudited Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying interim consolidated unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X, and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2020. The financial statements as of September 30, 2020 and for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management such financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for future interim periods or for the full year.
Note 2. Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of MSG Networks Inc. and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events. These estimates and the underlying assumptions affect the amount of assets and liabilities reported, disclosures about contingent assets and liabilities, and reported amount of revenues and expenses. Such estimates include the valuation of accounts receivable, investments, goodwill, other long-lived assets, pension and other postretirement benefit obligations and the related net periodic benefit cost, tax accruals, and other liabilities. In addition, estimates are used in revenue recognition, rights fees expense, income tax expense, performance and share-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, litigation matters, and other matters. Management believes its use of estimates in the consolidated financial statements to be reasonable.
Management evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors. Due to the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic, in March 2020, the 2019-20 NHL and NBA seasons were suspended. The NHL and NBA resumed their respective 2019-20 seasons, with the NHL and NBA completing their 2019-20 seasons in September 2020 and October 2020, respectively, which is expected to impact the start of each league’s 2020-21 season. To date, neither league has announced any decisions regarding the number of games the Company would expect to receive during the 2020-21 seasons.
Our estimates have been prepared based on these facts, and we will continue to monitor updates made by the NBA and NHL with regards to league play and the impact on the Company’s use of estimates. The Company adjusts such estimates when facts and circumstances dictate. However, these estimates may involve significant uncertainties and judgments and cannot be determined with precision. In addition, these estimates are based on management’s best judgment at a point in time and as such,

(Continued)
these estimates may ultimately differ from actual results. Changes in estimates resulting from weakness in the economic environment or other factors beyond the Company’s control, including government and league actions taken to contain or mitigate the COVID-19 pandemic, could be material and would be reflected in the Company’s financial statements in future periods.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses and the subsequent ASUs that amended the application of ASU No. 2016-13, which introduces a new impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments, including accounts receivable. Under the new standard, the Company is required to use a forward looking “expected loss” model that has replaced the former “incurred loss” model, which generally will result in earlier recognition of allowances for losses. The Company adopted this standard on July 1, 2020 on a modified retrospective basis, recording $480, net of tax, as a cumulative effect adjustment to accumulated deficit.
In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-02, Entertainment — Films — Other Assets — Film Costs (Subtopic 926-20) and Entertainment — Broadcasters — Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Subtopic 920-350): Improvements to Accounting for Costs of Films and License Agreements for Program Materials, which amends Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 920-350 to align the accounting for production costs of an episodic television series with that for the costs of producing films. The Company adopted this standard on a prospective basis, effective July 1, 2020. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, Compensation — Retirement Benefits — Defined Benefit Plans — General (Topic 715-20): Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans, which removes, adds, or clarifies disclosure requirements relating to defined benefit plans to improve disclosure effectiveness. This standard will be effective for the Company beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2021, with early adoption permitted. The standard is to be applied retroactively to all periods presented. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. This ASU eliminates certain exceptions to the general approach in ASC Topic 740 and includes methods of simplification to the existing guidance. This standard will be effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, with early adoption permitted. The standard is to be applied prospectively to all periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. This ASU provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens of the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. This standard was effective upon issuance, and may be applied prospectively through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements, if elected.
Note 3. Revenue and Accounts Receivable
The Company generates revenues principally from affiliation fees charged to cable, satellite, telephone and other platforms (“Distributors”) for the right to carry its networks, as well as from the sale of advertising. The Company’s advertising revenue is largely derived from the sale of inventory in its live professional sports programming, and as such, a disproportionate share of this revenue has historically been earned in the Company’s second and third fiscal quarters. The Company’s revenue recognition policies that describe the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty associated with each major source of revenue from contracts with customers are summarized below.
Affiliation Fee Revenue
Affiliation fee revenue is earned from Distributors for the right to carry the Company’s networks under contracts, commonly referred to as “affiliation agreements.” The Company’s performance obligation under its affiliation agreements is satisfied as the Company provides its programming over the term of the affiliation agreement.
7
MSG NETWORKS INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(Continued)
Affiliation fee revenue constituted at least 90% of the Company’s consolidated revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2020. Substantially all of the Company’s affiliation agreements are sales-based and usage-based royalty arrangements, which are recognized as the sale or usage occurs. The transaction price is represented by affiliation fees that are generally based upon contractual rates applied to the number of the Distributor’s subscribers who receive or can receive the Company’s programming. Such subscriber information is generally not received until after the close of the reporting period, and in these cases, the Company estimates the number of subscribers. Historical adjustments to recorded estimates have not been material.
Advertising Revenue
The Company primarily earns advertising revenue through the sale of commercial time and other advertising inventory during its programming. In general, these advertising arrangements either do not exceed one year or are primarily multi-year media banks, the elements of which are agreed upon each year. Advertising revenue is recognized as advertising is aired. In certain advertising arrangements, the Company guarantees specified viewer ratings for its programming. In such cases, the promise to deliver the guaranteed viewer ratings by airing the advertising represents the Company’s performance obligation. A contract liability is recognized as deferred revenue to the extent any guaranteed viewer ratings are not met and the customer is expected to exercise any right for additional advertising time, and is subsequently recognized as revenue either when the Company provides the required additional advertising time, or additional performance requirements become remote, which may be at the time the guarantee obligation contractually expires.
Principal versus Agent Revenue Recognition
The Company has an advertising sales representation agreement with Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corp. (together with its subsidiaries, “MSGE”) that provides for MSGE to act as its advertising sales representative and includes the exclusive right and obligation to sell certain advertising availabilities on the Company’s behalf for a commission (see Note 14). The Company reports advertising revenue on a gross basis as it is primarily responsible for the fulfillment of advertising orders.
Noncash Consideration
The Company enters into nonmonetary transactions, primarily with its Distributors, that involve the exchange of products or services, such as advertising and promotional benefits, for the Company’s services. For arrangements that are subject to sales-based and usage-based royalty guidance, the Company measures noncash consideration that it receives at fair value as the sale or usage occurs. For other arrangements, the Company measures the estimated fair value of the noncash consideration that it receives at contract inception. If the Company cannot reasonably estimate the fair value of the noncash consideration, the Company measures the fair value of the consideration indirectly by reference to the standalone selling price of the services promised to the customer in exchange for the consideration.
Transaction Price Allocated to Future Performance Obligations
Substantially all of the Company’s affiliation agreements are licenses of functional intellectual property where revenue is derived from sales-based and usage-based royalty arrangements, and generally the Company’s advertising arrangements either do not exceed one year or are primarily multi-year media banks, the elements of which are agreed upon each year. For these types of arrangements, the Company applies a practical expedient that allows it to omit disclosure of the aggregate amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring services to a customer (transaction price) that is allocated to performance obligations that have not yet been satisfied. As of September 30, 2020, the aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations, other than for contracts that the Company has applied the practical expedient, was $10,609, of which $9,515 will be recognized through fiscal year 2023 and $1,094 thereafter.
Contract Balances from Contracts with Customers
An account receivable is recorded when there is an unconditional right to consideration based on a contract with a customer. The Company’s payment terms generally do not exceed 60 days after revenue is earned. For certain types of contracts with customers, the Company may recognize revenue in advance of the contractual right to invoice the customer, resulting in an amount recorded to contract assets. Once the Company has an unconditional right to consideration under these contracts, the contract assets are reclassified to accounts receivable.
When consideration is received from a customer prior to transferring services to the customer under the terms of a contract, a contract liability (deferred revenue) is recorded. Deferred revenue is recognized as revenue when, or as, control of the services is transferred to the customer and all revenue recognition criteria have been met.

The following table provides information about current contract balances from contracts with customers:
September 30,
2020 		June 30,
2020
Accounts receivable (including advertising receivables, which are included in related party receivables, net) $ 115,773  $ 124,325 
Contract asset, long-term (included in other assets) 55  37 
Deferred revenue, short-term 2,317  2,753 
Deferred revenue, long-term (included in other liabilities) 31  69 
Accounts receivable is presented net of an estimate for lifetime expected credit losses. The Company analyzes historical losses, economic conditions, receivables aging, customer specific risks, and other factors to estimate its allowance for credit losses. The Company’s allowance for credit losses was $2,052 as of September 30, 2020.
The amount of revenue recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2020 related to deferred revenue (contract liability) recorded as of June 30, 2020 was $542.
Note 4. Computation of Earnings per Common Share
Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) is based upon net income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the effect of the assumed vesting of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and exercise of stock options only in the periods in which such effect would have been dilutive.
The following table presents a reconciliation of the weighted-average number of shares used in the calculations of basic and diluted EPS:
Three Months Ended
September 30,
2020 2019
Weighted-average number of shares for basic EPS 57,158  75,063 
Dilutive effect of shares issuable under share-based compensation plans
220  401 
Weighted-average number of shares for diluted EPS 57,378  75,464 
Anti-dilutive shares 2,948  2,223 
Note 5. Goodwill and Amortizable Intangible Assets
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2021, the Company performed its annual impairment test of goodwill. As the Company’s one reporting unit had a negative carrying value of net assets, there was no impairment of goodwill identified.
The Company’s intangible assets subject to amortization are as follows: 
September 30,
2020 		June 30,
2020
Affiliate relationships $ 83,044  $ 83,044 
Less: accumulated amortization (53,626) (52,761)
$ 29,418  $ 30,283 
Affiliate relationships have an estimated useful life of 24 years. Amortization expense for intangible assets was $865 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

Note 7. Debt
Former Senior Secured Credit Facilities
On September 28, 2015, MSGN Holdings, L.P. (“MSGN L.P.”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company through which the Company conducts substantially all of its operations, MSGN Eden, LLC, an indirect subsidiary of the Company and the general partner of MSGN L.P., Regional MSGN Holdings LLC, a direct subsidiary of the Company and the limited partner of MSGN L.P. (collectively with MSGN Eden, LLC, the “Holdings Entities”), and certain subsidiaries of MSGN L.P. entered into a credit agreement (the “Former Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of lenders. The Former Credit Agreement provided MSGN L.P. with senior secured credit facilities that consisted of: (a) an initial $1,550,000 term loan facility and (b) a $250,000 revolving credit facility.
Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Facilities
On October 11, 2019, MSGN L.P., the Holdings Entities and certain subsidiaries of MSGN L.P. amended and restated the Former Credit Agreement in its entirety (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides MSGN L.P. with senior secured credit facilities (the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”) consisting of: (i) an initial $1,100,000 term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) and (ii) a $250,000 revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), each with a term of five years. Proceeds from the Term Loan Facility were used by MSGN L.P. to repay outstanding indebtedness under the Former Credit Agreement. Up to $35,000 of the Revolving Credit Facility is available for the issuance of letters of credit. Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions and limitations, the Credit Agreement allows for the addition of incremental term and/or revolving loan commitments and incremental term and/or revolving loans.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a floating rate, which at the option of MSGN L.P. may be either (i) a base rate plus an additional rate ranging from 0.25% to 1.25% per annum (determined based on a total net leverage ratio) (the “Base Rate”), or (ii) a Eurodollar rate plus an additional rate ranging from 1.25% to 2.25% per annum (determined based on a total net leverage ratio) (the “Eurodollar Rate”). Upon a payment default in respect of principal, interest or other amounts due and payable under the Credit Agreement or related loan documents, default interest will accrue on all overdue amounts at an additional rate of 2.00% per annum. The Credit Agreement requires that MSGN L.P. pay a commitment fee ranging from 0.225% to 0.30% (determined based on a total net leverage ratio) in respect of the average daily unused commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility. MSGN L.P. will also be required to pay customary letter of credit fees, as well as fronting fees, to banks that issue letters of credit.
The Credit Agreement generally requires the Holdings Entities and MSGN L.P. and its restricted subsidiaries on a consolidated basis to comply with a maximum total leverage ratio of 5.50:1.00, subject, at the option of MSGN L.P. to an upward adjustment to 6.00:1.00 during the continuance of certain events. In addition, the Credit Agreement requires a minimum interest coverage ratio of 2.00:1.00 for the Holdings Entities and MSGN L.P. and its restricted subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. As of September 30, 2020, the Holdings Entities and MSGN L.P. and its restricted subsidiaries on a consolidated basis were in compliance with the applicable financial covenants. All borrowings under the Credit Agreement are subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, including absence of a default and accuracy of representations and warranties. As of September 30,

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(Continued)
2020, there were no letters of credit issued and outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility, which provides full borrowing capacity of $250,000.
The Term Loan Facility amortizes quarterly in accordance with its terms beginning March 31, 2020 through September 30, 2024 with a final maturity date on October 11, 2024.
As of September 30, 2020, the principal repayments required under the Term Loan Facility are as follows:
Remainder of fiscal year ending June 30, 2021 $ 31,625 
Fiscal year ending June 30, 2022 49,500 
Fiscal year ending June 30, 2023 66,000 
Fiscal year ending June 30, 2024 82,500 
Fiscal year ending June 30, 2025 849,750 
$ 1,079,375 
All obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Holdings Entities and MSGN L.P.’s existing and future direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries that are not designated as excluded subsidiaries or unrestricted subsidiaries (the “Subsidiary Guarantors,” and together with the Holdings Entities, the “Guarantors”). All obligations under the Credit Agreement, including the guarantees of those obligations, are secured by certain assets of MSGN L.P. and each Guarantor (collectively, “Collateral”), including, but not limited to, a pledge of the equity interests in MSGN L.P. held directly by the Holdings Entities and the equity interests in each Subsidiary Guarantor held directly or indirectly by MSGN L.P.
Subject to customary notice and minimum amount conditions, MSGN L.P. may voluntarily prepay outstanding loans under the Credit Agreement at any time, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (except for customary breakage costs with respect to Eurodollar loans). MSGN L.P. is required to make mandatory prepayments in certain circumstances, including without limitation from the net cash proceeds of certain sales of assets (including Collateral) or casualty insurance and/or condemnation recoveries (subject to certain reinvestment, repair or replacement rights) and the incurrence of certain indebtedness, subject to certain exceptions.
In addition to the financial covenants discussed above, the Credit Agreement and the related security agreement contain certain customary representations and warranties, affirmative covenants, and events of default. The Credit Agreement contains certain restrictions on the ability of MSGN L.P. and its restricted subsidiaries to take certain actions as provided in (and subject to various exceptions and baskets set forth in) the Credit Agreement, including the following: (i) incurring additional indebtedness and contingent liabilities; (ii) creating liens on certain assets; (iii) making investments, loans or advances in or to other persons; (iv) paying dividends and distributions or repurchasing capital stock; (v) changing their lines of business; (vi) engaging in certain transactions with affiliates; (vii) amending specified material agreements; (viii) merging or consolidating; (ix) making certain dispositions; and (x) entering into agreements that restrict the granting of liens. The Holdings Entities are also subject to customary passive holding company covenants.

The Company has various operating leases for office and studio space, as well as equipment, expiring at various dates through fiscal year 2025. The Company currently has no finance leases. Some leases include options to extend the lease term, generally at the Company’s discretion. The depreciable life of leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option reasonably certain of exercise.
The leases generally provide for fixed annual rentals plus certain other costs. Certain leases include variable payments based on the Company’s use of the respective assets. The Company’s lease agreements do not include any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. Since the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit interest rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as of the lease commencement date to determine the present value of future lease payments. Upon the adoption of ASC Topic 842, Leases, the Company used the incremental borrowing rate on July 1, 2019 for all operating leases that commenced prior to that date.
Lease cost consists of the following:

Note 10. Fair Value Measurements
The fair value hierarchy is based on inputs to valuation techniques that are used to measure fair value that are either observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are developed using market data, such as publicly available information about actual events or transactions, and reflect the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs are inputs for which market data is not available and that are developed using the best information available about the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.
The fair value hierarchy consists of the following three levels:
•Level I — Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
•Level II — Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.
•Level III — Instruments whose significant value drivers are unobservable.
The following table presents for each of these hierarchy levels, the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, which include cash equivalents: 

Level I Level II Level III Total
September 30, 2020
Assets:
Money market accounts $ 151,125  $ —  $ —  $ 151,125 
Time deposits 95,763  —  —  95,763 
Total assets measured at fair value $ 246,888  $ —  $ —  $ 246,888 
June 30, 2020
Assets:
Money market accounts $ 129,609  $ —  $ —  $ 129,609 
Time deposits 65,713  —  —  65,713 
Total assets measured at fair value $ 195,322  $ —  $ —  $ 195,322 
Money market accounts and time deposits are classified within Level I of the fair value hierarchy as they are valued using observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets in active markets. The carrying amount of the Company’s money market accounts and time deposits approximates fair value due to their short-term maturities.
Other Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt (see Note 7) was approximately $1,063,000 as of September 30, 2020. The Company’s long-term debt is classified within Level II of the fair value hierarchy as it is valued using quoted prices of such securities for which fair value can be derived from inputs that are readily observable, including activity in and the state of the capital markets.
Investment in Nonconsolidated Entity
The Company’s investment in a nonconsolidated entity, which is included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, does not have a readily determinable fair value. As such, the Company has elected to account for it at cost, which would be adjusted for impairment and changes resulting from observable price fluctuations in orderly transactions for an identical or a similar investment of the same issuer (referred to as the measurement alternative method). Investments accounted for under the measurement alternative method are classified within Level III of the fair value hierarchy. As of September 30, 2020, the carrying amount of the Company’s equity investment in the nonconsolidated entity was $2,000, and the Company did not identify any potential adjustments to the cost of its investment through September 30, 2020.

Prior to the Entertainment Distribution, the Company was party to such time sharing agreements with MSGS. Additionally, the Company, MSGS, AMC Networks, and following the Entertainment Distribution, MSGE, have agreed on an allocation of the costs of certain other aircraft, including helicopter, use by shared executives.
The Company has various agreements with MSGS, including media rights agreements covering the Knicks and the Rangers games, and a tax disaffiliation agreement. As a result of the Entertainment Distribution, certain of the agreements which were previously between the Company and MSGS are, as of April 17, 2020, between the Company and MSGE, including an advertising sales representation agreement, a trademark license agreement, and certain other arrangements, including a services agreement (the “Services Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company outsources certain business functions.

Note 15. Income Taxes
Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2020 of $27,976 differs from the income tax expense derived by applying the statutory federal rate of 21% to pre-tax income principally due to the impact from a change in the estimated applicable tax rate used to determine deferred taxes of $6,746, the impact of state and local income taxes (net of federal benefit) of $5,945, and tax expense of $1,224 resulting from the distribution of certain share-based compensation awards. The change in the estimated applicable tax rate used to determine deferred taxes was due to a change in state apportionment methodology in accordance with an amendment to a state regulation.
Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2019 of $16,062 differs from the income tax expense derived by applying the statutory federal rate of 21% to pre-tax income principally due to the impact of state and local income taxes (net of federal benefit) of $4,840, partially offset by excess tax benefit related to share based-payment awards of $1,663.
The Company made cash income tax payments (net) of $8,434 and $8,182 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
The Company was notified during the first quarter of fiscal year 2019 that the City of New York was commencing an examination of the Company’s New York City general corporate income tax returns as filed for the tax years ended December 31, 2015 and 2016.

NM – Percentage is not meaningful
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, in March 2020, the 2019-20 NHL and NBA seasons were suspended. The NHL and NBA resumed their respective 2019-20 seasons, with the NHL and NBA completing their 2019-20 seasons in September 2020 and October 2020, respectively, which is expected to impact the start of each league’s 2020-21 season. To date, neither league has announced any decisions regarding the number of games the Company would expect to receive during the 2020-21 seasons.
The full extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, operations and financial results will depend on numerous evolving factors that we cannot predict. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors— Our Operations and Operating Results Have Been, and Continue to be, Impacted by the COVID-19 Pandemic and Actions Taken in Response” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2020 for additional details.
Revenues
Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2020 decreased $3,618, or 2%, to $157,363 as compared with the prior year period. The net decrease was attributable to the following:
Decrease in affiliation fee revenue $ (7,203)
Increase in advertising revenue 3,598 
Other net decreases (13)
$ (3,618)
The decrease in affiliation fee revenue was primarily due to the impact of a decrease in subscribers of approximately 8.5% and, to a lesser extent, an unfavorable affiliate adjustment of approximately $1,000 recorded in the current year period. This was partially offset by the impact of higher affiliation rates and, to a lesser extent, the absence of an unfavorable $700 affiliate adjustment recorded in the prior year period. The Company and a small Connecticut-based distributor (that is in bankruptcy) were unable to reach a renewal agreement on October 1, 2020 for carriage of the Company’s networks. This non-renewal will not have a material impact on the Company’s revenues and adjusted operating income.
The increase in advertising revenue was due to higher sales related to live professional sports telecasts, which reflects the Rangers' and Islanders' participation in the 2019-20 NHL return to play.
22
Direct operating expenses
Direct operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2020 decreased $3,588, or 5%, to $65,072 as compared with the prior year period due to lower rights fees expense of $2,781 and a decrease in other programming and production-related costs of $807. The decline in rights fees expense was due to a reduction in media rights fees related to the 2019-20 NHL season, partially offset by contractual rate increases under the Company’s media rights agreements.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2020 increased $207, or 1%, to $22,527 as compared with the prior year period primarily due to higher advertising sales commissions, partially offset by lower professional fees. The decrease in professional fees reflects the absence of $1,000 in expenses recorded in the prior year period that were not indicative of the Company's core expense base, partially offset by other net increases.
Operating income
Operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2020 decreased $338, or less than 1%, to $67,936 as compared with the prior year period primarily due to (as discussed above) the decrease in revenues and, to a lesser extent, higher selling, general and administrative expenses (including share-based compensation expense), largely offset by lower direct operating expenses.
Interest expense
Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2020 decreased $5,596, or 52%, to $5,219 as compared with the prior year period primarily due to lower average interest rates for the three months ended September 30, 2020 (1.7% as compared with 3.7% in the prior year period), partially offset by a higher average principal balance under the Company’s senior secured credit facilities (see “Liquidity and Capital Resources — Financing Agreements”).
Income taxes
See Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements included in “Part I — Item 1. Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information on income taxes.
Adjusted operating income
The Company evaluates performance based on several factors, of which the key financial measure is adjusted operating income. Adjusted operating income is defined as operating income before (i) depreciation, amortization and impairments of property and equipment and intangible assets, (ii) share-based compensation expense or benefit, (iii) restructuring charges or credits and (iv) gains or losses on sales or dispositions of businesses. Because it is based upon operating income, adjusted operating income also excludes interest expense (including cash interest expense) and other non-operating income and expense items. We believe that the exclusion of share-based compensation expense or benefit allows investors to better track the performance of the Company without regard to the settlement of an obligation that is not expected to be made in cash. We believe adjusted operating income is an appropriate measure for evaluating the operating performance of our Company. Adjusted operating income and similar measures with similar titles are common performance measures used by investors and analysts to analyze our performance. Internally, we use revenues and adjusted operating income measures as the most important indicators of our business performance, and evaluate management’s effectiveness with specific reference to these indicators. Adjusted operating income should be viewed as a supplement to and not a substitute for operating income, net income, cash flows from operating activities, and other measures of performance and/or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Since adjusted operating income is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, this measure may not be comparable to similar measures with similar titles used by other companies.
The Company has presented the components that reconcile operating income, a GAAP measure, to adjusted operating income:

Three Months Ended Increase (Decrease) in
Adjusted Operating Income
September 30,
2020 2019
Operating income $ 67,936  $ 68,274  $ (338)

Depreciation and amortization 1,828  1,727  101 
Adjusted operating income $ 74,391  $ 74,660  $ (269)

23
Adjusted operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2020 decreased $269, or less than 1%, to $74,391 as compared with the prior year period primarily due to (as discussed above) the decrease in revenues and, to a lesser extent, higher selling, general and administrative expenses (excluding share-based compensation expense), largely offset by lower direct operating expenses.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from the operations of our business and available borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility. The Company amended and restated its prior credit agreement, dated September 28, 2015 (the “Former Credit Agreement”), on October 11, 2019 in its entirety. See “Financing Agreements” below. Our principal uses of cash are expected to include working capital-related items, capital spending, taxes, debt service, and the repurchase of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Class A Common Stock”). The Company’s use of its available liquidity will be based upon the ongoing review of the funding needs of the business, its view of a favorable allocation of cash resources, and the timing of cash flow generation.
We believe we have sufficient liquidity, including $254,380 in cash and cash equivalents, as of September 30, 2020, as well as the available borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility and our anticipated operating cash flows, to fund our business operations, repurchase shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and service our outstanding term loan facility (see “Financing Agreements” below) during the next twelve months. However, potential subscriber reductions of our Distributors, changes in the demand for our programming, advertising revenue declines, our ability to maintain or obtain content, and other factors could adversely impact our business and results of operations, which might require that we seek alternative sources of funding through the capital and credit markets that may or may not be available to us. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused disruption in the capital markets, which could make financing more difficult and/or expensive and we may not be able to obtain such financing on terms acceptable to us or at all.
On December 7, 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) authorized the repurchase of up to $150,000 of the Company’s Class A Common Stock. On August 29, 2019, the Board authorized a $300,000 increase to the stock repurchase authorization, which had $136,165 of availability remaining, bringing the total available repurchase authorization for Class A Common Stock to $436,165 as of that date. Under the authorization, shares of Class A Common Stock may be purchased from time to time in open market or private transactions, block trades or such other manner as the Company may determine, in accordance with applicable insider trading and other securities laws and regulations. The timing and amount of purchases will depend on market conditions and other factors. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had $145,864 of availability remaining under its stock repurchase authorization.
Financing Agreements
On September 28, 2015, MSGN Holdings, L.P. (“MSGN L.P.”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company through which the Company conducts substantially all of its operations, MSGN Eden, LLC, an indirect subsidiary of the Company and the general partner of MSGN L.P., Regional MSGN Holdings LLC, a direct subsidiary of the Company and the limited partner of MSGN L.P. (collectively with MSGN Eden, LLC, the “Holdings Entities”), and certain subsidiaries of MSGN L.P. entered into the Former Credit Agreement with a syndicate of lenders.
MSGN L.P., the Holdings Entities and certain subsidiaries of MSGN L.P. amended and restated the Former Credit Agreement effective October 11, 2019 (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides MSGN L.P. with senior secured credit facilities consisting of: (i) an initial $1,100,000 term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) and (ii) a $250,000 revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), each with a term of five years.
The Company has made principal repayments aggregating to $20,625 through September 30, 2020 under the Credit Agreement. The Term Loan Facility amortized quarterly in accordance with its terms. As of September 30, 2020, there was $1,079,375 outstanding under the Term Loan Facility, and no borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2020, the Holdings Entities and MSGN L.P. and its restricted subsidiaries on a consolidated basis were in compliance with the financial covenants of the Credit Agreement.
See Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements included in “Part I — Item 1. Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information on the Credit Agreement.
Contractual Obligations
As more fully described in Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2020, the Company’s contractual obligations not reflected on the consolidated balance sheets consist primarily of its obligations under media rights agreements.
24
In addition, see Notes 7 and 8 to the consolidated financial statements included in “Part I — Item 1. Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the principal repayments required under the Company’s Term Loan Facility and maturities of the Company's operating lease liabilities, respectively.
Cash Flow Discussion
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended September 30, 2020 increased by $11,110 to $68,259 as compared with the prior year period. This increase was primarily due to the impact of certain working capital items and higher income from operations before income taxes, partially offset by higher income taxes paid as compared with the prior year period.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2020 increased by $508 to $1,741 as compared with the prior year period due to higher capital expenditures in the current year period.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was $8,975 as compared with net cash provided by financing activities in the prior year period of $78,024. This change is primarily due to the absence of proceeds received in the prior year period from borrowings under the Company’s senior secured credit facilities, partially offset by lower principal repayments on the Company's term loan facilities as compared with the prior year period.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted and Critical Accounting Policies
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in “Part I — Item 1. Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for information regarding recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted.
Critical Accounting Policies
The following discussion has been included to provide the results of the Company’s annual impairment testing of goodwill performed during the first quarter of fiscal year 2021. There have been no other material changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies from those set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2020.
Goodwill
The goodwill balance reported on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2020 is $424,508. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment as of August 31st and at any time upon the occurrence of certain events or substantive changes in circumstances. The Company has the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine if an impairment is more likely than not to have occurred. If the Company can support the conclusion that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the Company does not need to perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test for that reporting unit. If the Company cannot support such a conclusion or the Company does not elect to perform the qualitative assessment then the Company would perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test. The quantitative goodwill impairment test, used to identify both the existence of impairment and the amount of impairment loss, compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered not impaired. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss shall be recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.
The Company has one reporting unit for evaluating goodwill impairment. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2021, the Company performed its annual impairment test of goodwill by comparing the fair value of its reporting unit with its carrying value. As the Company’s reporting unit had a negative carrying value of net assets, there was no impairment of goodwill identified.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
There were no material changes to the quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk made in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2020.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
An evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of September 30, 2020 the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
