Excluding interest, current capital lease obligations of $3.7 billion and $3.0 billion are recorded within “Accrued expenses and other” as of September 30, 2016, and December 31, 2015, and $4.5 billion and $4.2 billion are recorded within “Other long-term liabilities” as of September 30, 2016, and December 31, 2015.
(2)
Excluding interest, current finance lease obligations of $135 million and $99 million are recorded within “Accrued expenses and other” as of September 30, 2016, and December 31, 2015, and $2.4 billion and $1.7 billion are recorded within “Other long-term liabilities” as of September 30, 2016, and December 31, 2015.
(3)
Includes unconditional purchase obligations related to long-term agreements to acquire and license digital media content that are not reflected on the consolidated balance sheets. For those agreements with variable terms, we do not estimate the total obligation beyond any minimum quantities and/or pricing as of the reporting date. Purchase obligations associated with renewal provisions solely at the option of the content provider are included to the extent such commitments are fixed or a minimum amount is specified.
(4)
Includes the estimated timing and amounts of payments for rent and tenant improvements associated with build-to-suit lease arrangements and equipment lease arrangements that have not been placed in service and digital media content liabilities associated with long-term digital media content assets with initial terms greater than one year.
(5)
Excludes $1.7 billion of accrued tax contingencies for which we cannot make a reasonably reliable estimate of the amount and period of payment, if any.
