Accounting for Collaborative Arrangements

 

The Company's collaborative arrangements primarily relate to arrangements entered into with third parties to jointly finance and distribute theatrical productions and the arrangement entered into with CBS Broadcasting, Inc. (“CBS”) and The National Collegiate Athletic Association (the “NCAA”) that provides Turner and CBS with exclusive television, Internet and wireless rights to the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship events (the “NCAA Tournament”) in the United States and its territories and possessions through 2024

 

For the Company's collaborative arrangements entered into with third parties to jointly finance and distribute theatrical productions, net participation costs of $69 million and $108 million were recorded in Costs of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $374 million and $351 million were recorded in Costs of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

The aggregate programming rights fee, production costs, advertising revenues and sponsorship revenues related to the NCAA Tournament and related programming are shared equally by Turner and CBS. However, if the amount paid for the programming rights fee and production costs, in any given year, exceeds advertising and sponsorship revenues for that year, CBS' share of such shortfall is limited to specified annual amounts, ranging from approximately $90 million to $30 million.
