12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Manufacturing Purchase Commitments

The Company has various manufacturing contracts with vendors in the conduct of the normal course of its business. In order to manage future demand for its products, the Company enters into agreements with manufacturers and suppliers to procure inventory based upon certain criteria and timing. Some of these commitments are non-cancelable. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had $292.2 million of purchase commitments for inventory.

Licensed Content Commitments

The Company enters into contracts with content publishers to acquire content or to buy ad inventory in the future. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had $233.9 million in commitments with content publishers that are non-cancelable. These commitments include both content that is available for streaming and is recognized as liabilities as well as content that is not yet available for streaming or ad inventories not yet purchased. As of September 30, 2021, of the $233.9 million, $43.9 million was included in Accrued liabilities and $40.5 million was included in Other long-term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

In connection with the acquisition of certain content rights during the quarter ended March 31, 2021, the Company assumed liabilities related to certain costs of the development and use of certain assets that had been incurred but not paid at the time assumed. Escrow arrangements were put in place such that selling shareholders will cover such costs. Accordingly, the Company recognized both an indemnification asset and liability of $81.4 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2021. As of September 30, 2021, $69.5 million of both the indemnification asset and liability were released related to payments made for a portion of the liabilities assumed. The remaining indemnification balance as of September 30, 2021 is $11.9 million, with the indemnification asset recorded as part of Prepaid expenses and other current assets and the indemnification liability recorded as part of Accrued liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.  

Letters of Credit

As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had irrevocable letters of credit outstanding in the amount of $30.8 million and $30.9 million, respectively, related to facilities leases. The letters of credit have various expiration dates through 2030.

Contingencies

The Company accrues for loss contingencies, including liabilities for intellectual property licensing claims, when it believes such losses are probable and reasonably estimable. These contingencies are reviewed at least quarterly and adjusted to reflect the impact of negotiations, estimated settlements, legal rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events. The resolution of these contingencies and of other legal proceedings can be, however, inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties.

From time to time, the Company is subject to legal proceedings, claims, and investigations in the ordinary course of business, including claims relating to employee relations, business practices and patent infringement. The Company is involved in litigation matters not listed herein. Although the results of these proceedings, claims, and investigations cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company does not believe that the final outcome of any matters that it is currently involved in are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, or results of operations.

Indemnification

In the ordinary course of business, the Company has entered into contractual arrangements which provide indemnification provisions of varying scope and terms to business partners and other parties with respect to certain matters, including, but not limited to, losses arising out of the Company’s breach of such agreements and out of intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties. The Company’s obligations under these agreements may be limited in terms of time or amount, and in some instances, the Company may have recourse against third parties for certain payments. In addition, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and certain of its officers that will require it, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers.

It is not possible to determine the maximum potential amount under these indemnification obligations due to the limited history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each agreement. To date, the Company has not incurred any material costs as a result of such obligations and has not accrued any liabilities related to such obligations in the condensed consolidated financial statements.
