Note 19 — Business Segments and Geographic Reporting

The Company determined its operating segments in accordance with ASC 280, “Segment Reporting” (“ASC 280”).

Beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2024, management has determined that the Company has three operating segments (PodcastOne, Slacker and Media Group). The Audio Group consist of the Company's PodcastOne and Slacker subsidiaries and the Media Group consist of the Company's remaining subsidiaries. As a result of the Spin-Out of PodcastOne, the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) began to make decisions and allocate resources based on three operating segments of the business (PodcastOne, Slacker and Media group). The Company’s reporting segments reflects the manner in which its CODM reviews results and allocates resources. The CODM reviews operating segment performance exclusive of share-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets, depreciation, and other expenses (including legal fees, expenses, and accruals) related to acquisitions, associated integration activities, and certain other non-cash charges. As a result, the segment information for the prior periods has been recast to conform with the current period presentation.

The Company’s three operating segments are also consistent with its internal organizational structure, which is the way the Company assesses operating performance and allocates resources.

Customers

The Company has one external customer that accounts for more than 10% of its revenue and accounts receivable. Such original equipment manufacturer (the “OEM”) provides premium Slacker service in its new vehicles. Total revenues from the OEM were $59.9 million and $44.3 million for the years ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Total receivables from the OEM were 42% and 32% of total accounts receivable as of March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. 

Segment and Geographic Information

The Company’s operations are based in the United States. All material revenues of the Company are derived from the United States. All long-lived assets of the Company are located in the United States, of which $0.3 million resides in PodcastOne, $2.9 million in Slacker and $0.4 million is attributed to our Media Group. 

The Company manages its working capital on a consolidated basis. Accordingly, segment assets are not reported to, or used by, our management to allocate resources to or assess performance of our segments, and therefore, total segment assets and related depreciation and amortization have not been presented.
