Overview
Created by John Hendricks, founder of the Discovery Channel and former Chairman of Discovery Communications, CuriosityStream is a media and entertainment company that offers premium video and audio programming across the principal categories of factual entertainment, including science, history, society, nature, lifestyle and technology. Our mission is to provide premium factual entertainment that informs, enchants and inspires.
We are seeking to meet demand for high-quality factual entertainment via SVOD platforms, as well as via bundled content licenses for SVOD and linear offerings, content licensing, brand sponsorship and advertising, talks and courses and partner bulk sales.
We operate our business as a single operating segment that provides premium streaming content through multiple channels, including the use of various applications, partnerships and affiliate relationships. We generate our revenue through five products and services: Direct Business, Bundled Distribution, Content Licensing, Enterprise and Other. The table below shows our revenue generated through each of the foregoing products and services for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:
Currently, the main sources of our revenue are (i) subscriber and license fees earned from our Direct Business (“Direct Business”), (ii) bundled license fees from distribution affiliates (“Bundled Distribution”), (iii) license fees from content licensing arrangements (“Content Licensing”), (iv) subscriber fees from our Enterprise business (“Enterprise”), and (v) Other revenue, including advertising and sponsorships (“Other”).

CuriosityStream’s award-winning content library features more than 15,000 programs that explore topics ranging from space engineering to ancient history to the rise of Wall Street. Our extensive catalog of originally produced and owned content includes more than 10,000 short-, mid- and long-form video and audio titles, including One Day University and Learn 25 recorded lectures that are led by some of the most acclaimed college and university professors in the world. Our library also features a rotating catalog of more than 5,500 internationally licensed videos and audio programs. Every month, we launch dozens of new video titles, which are available on-demand in high- or ultra-high definition. Through new and long-standing international partnerships, we have localized a large portion of our video library from English to ten different languages.
Our Direct Business revenue is derived from consumers subscribing directly through our owned and operated website (“O&O Service”), App Services, and Partner Direct relationships. Our O&O Direct-to-Consumer service is available in more than 175 countries to any household with a broadband connection. Currently, most legacy subscribers pay $2.99 per month or $19.99 per year for our standard CuriosityStream service. As of March 27, 2023, we increased our standard pricing for new subscribers to this service to $4.99 per month or $39.99 per year. We also provide a Smart Bundle service for $9.99 per month or $69.99 per year. Our Smart Bundle membership includes everything in our standard service, plus subscriptions to third-party platforms Tastemade, Topic, SommTV, DaVinci Kids, our equity investee Watch Nebula, LLC (“Nebula”), and our One Day University stand-alone service.
18
Our App Services enable access to CuriosityStream on almost every major consumer device, including streaming media players like Roku, Apple TV and Amazon Fire TV, major smart TV brands (e.g., LG, Vizio, Samsung) and gaming consoles. The multichannel video programming distributors (“MVPDs”), virtual MVPDs (“vMVPDs”) and digital distributor partners making up our Partner Direct Business pay us a license fee for sales to individuals who subscribe to CuriosityStream via the partners’ respective platforms. We have affiliate agreement relationships with, and our service is available directly from, major MVPDs that include Comcast, Cox, Dish and vMVPDs and digital distributors that include Amazon Prime Video Channels, Apple Channel, Roku Channel, Sling TV and YouTube TV.
In addition to our Direct Business described above, our Bundled Distribution business includes affiliate relationships with our Bundled MVPD Partners and vMVPDs, which are broadband and wireless companies in the U.S. and international territories to whom we can offer a broad scope of rights, including 24/7 “linear” channels, our on-demand content library, mobile rights and pricing and packaging flexibility, in exchange for an annual fixed fee or fee per subscriber.
In our Content Licensing business, we license to certain media companies a collection of our existing titles in a traditional content licensing deal. We also sell selected rights (such as in territories or on platforms that are lower priority for us) to content we create before we even begin production. This latter model reduces risk in our content development decisions and creates content licensing revenue.
Our Enterprise business is comprised primarily of selling subscriptions in bulk to companies and organizations that in turn offer these subscriptions to their employees and members as an employment benefit or “gift of curiosity.” Revenues from our Enterprise business are included within Subscriptions — O&O Services in Note 5 to the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements.
Our Other business is primarily comprised of advertising and sponsorship revenue. We offer companies the opportunity to be associated with CuriosityStream content in a variety of forms, including short- and long-form program integration, branded social media promotional videos, advertising spots in our video and audio programs that are made available on our linear programming channels or in front of the paywall, and digital display ads.
In the future, we hope to continue developing integrated digital brand partnerships with advertisers. These sponsorship campaigns offer companies the chance to be associated with CuriosityStream content in the forms described above. We believe the impressions accumulated in these multi-faceted campaigns would roll up to verifiable metrics for the clients.
Key Factors Affecting Results of Operations
Our future operating results and cash flows are dependent upon a number of opportunities, challenges, and other factors, including our ability to efficiently grow our subscriber base, increase our prices, and expand our service offerings to maximize subscriber lifetime value. In particular, we believe that the following factors significantly affected our results of operations over the last fiscal quarter and are expected to continue to have such significant effects:
Revenues
Since the Company was founded in 2015, we have generated the majority of our revenues from consumers directly accessing our content in the form of monthly or annual subscription plans. Currently, most legacy subscribers pay $2.99 per month or $19.99 per year for our standard CuriosityStream service. As of March 27, 2023, we increased our standard pricing for new subscribers to this service to $4.99 per month or $39.99 per year. We also provide a Smart Bundle service for $9.99 per month or $69.99 per year. Currently, our Smart Bundle pricing and pricing for most legacy subscribers remain unchanged. However, we may in the future increase the price of these existing subscription plans, which may have a positive effect on our revenue from this line of our business.
We pay a fixed percentage distribution fee to our partners for subscribers accessing our platform via App Services to compensate these partners for access to their customer and subscriber bases. The MVPD, vMVPD and digital distributor partners making up our Partner Direct Business pay us a license fee, and host and stream our content to their customers via their own platforms, such as set top boxes in the case of most MVPDs. We do not incur billing, streaming or backend costs associated with content distribution through our MVPD, vMVPD and digital distributor partners.
Operating Costs
Our primary operating costs relate to the cost of producing and acquiring our content, the costs of advertising and marketing our service, personnel costs, and distribution fees. Producing and co-producing content and commissioned content is generally more costly than acquiring content through licenses.
The Company’s primary business model is subscription based as opposed to a model generating revenues at a specific title level. Content assets (licensed and produced) are predominantly monetized as a group and therefore are reviewed in aggregate at a group level when an event or change in circumstances indicates a change in the expected usefulness of the content or that the fair value may be less than unamortized cost. If such changes are identified, the aggregated content library will be stated at the lower of unamortized cost or fair value. In addition, unamortized costs for assets that have been, or are expected to be, abandoned are written off. For a discussion of the accounting policies for content impairment write-down and management estimates involved therein, see “— Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” below.
Further, our advertising and marketing expenditures and personnel costs constitute primary operating costs for our business. These costs may fluctuate based on advertising and marketing objectives and personnel needs. In general, we intend to focus marketing dollars on efficient customer acquisition. With respect to personnel costs, we focus on revenue-generating personnel, such as sales staff and roles that support the improvement, maintenance and marketing of our Direct Service.

n/m - percentage not meaningful
Revenue
Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $14.1 million and $22.3 million, respectively. This decrease of $8.2 million, or 37%, is primarily attributable to reductions in both License fees revenue and Subscriptions revenue.
The decrease in License fees revenue of $5.5 million was primarily driven by the non-renewal of certain content licensing arrangements of $5.6 million, partially offset by an increase of $2.6 million from new content licensing arrangements, and a decrease from the non-renewal of certain bundled distribution agreements of $2.9 million, partially offset by an increase of $0.5 million from new bundled distribution agreements. The decrease in Subscriptions revenue of $1.7 million was primarily due to the termination of certain corporate subscriptions related to bulk agreements, which occurred in the third quarter of 2022.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2023 were $22.1 million, compared to $38.4 million for the same period in 2022, marking a reduction of $16.3 million, or 42%.
Cost of Revenues: Cost of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2023 decreased to $9.9 million from $13.0 million in the same period of 2022. Cost of revenues encompasses content amortization, hosting and streaming delivery costs, payment processing costs, commission costs, and subtitling and broadcast costs. This reduction of $3.1 million, or 24%, primarily resulted from the decrease in content amortization and a decrease in revenue share expense related to bundled and premier tier arrangements with other streaming services.
Advertising and Marketing: Advertising and marketing expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2023 decreased to $4.2 million from $11.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. This decrease of $7.0 million, or 63%, was primarily due to strategic changes in our marketing approach and cost-saving measures implemented in our advertising campaigns.
General and Administrative: General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2023 decreased by $2.6 million, or 25%, from $10.6 million for the same period in 2022 to $8.0 million. The decrease was primarily due to cost controls and efficiency measures implemented across our administrative functions.
Impairment of Goodwill and Intangible Assets: We incurred no impairment charges for goodwill and intangible assets for the three months ended June 30, 2023, in contrast to the $3.6 million expense incurred in the corresponding period of 2022.
Operating Loss
The Company experienced an operating loss of $8.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, which is a decrease of $8.0 million, or 50%, compared to the operating loss of $16.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease in our operating loss is primarily driven by the reduction in our operating expenses of $16.3 million, or 42%, partially offset by the reduction in revenue of $8.3 million, or 37%.
Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liability
For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the change in the fair value of warrant liability (related to Private Placement Warrants) resulted in income of $0.2 million, a decrease of $0.3 million from the income of $0.5 million in the same period in 2022. The change primarily stemmed from fluctuations in the market price of our common stock and the corresponding changes to the underlying assumptions used in the valuation model used for our Private Placement Warrants during the three months ended June 30, 2022.
Interest and Other Income (Expense)
Interest and other income (expense) for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $0.4 million income compared to $0.1 million expense for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase is primarily related to an increase in interest income during the current period.
20
Equity Method Investment Loss
For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded a loss of $2.2 million compared to a loss of $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, related to its investments in Spiegel Venture and Nebula. The increase is primarily due to the $2.0 million impairment charge recorded by the Company to its investment in Spiegel Venture.
Provision for Income Taxes
We had a provision for income taxes of $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The Company’s provision for income taxes is primarily related to foreign withholding income taxes and differs from the federal statutory rate primarily due to the Company being in a full valuation allowance position and not recognizing a benefit for either federal or state income tax purposes.
21
Net Loss
The net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2023, was $9.9 million, compared to $16.0 million for the same period in 2022. The decrease in our net loss of $6.1 million, or 38%, primarily resulted from the decrease in operating expenses of $16.3 million, or 42%, partially offset by the reduction in revenue of $8.3 million or 37%, and an impairment charge to one of our equity method investments of $2.0 million.

Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022 was $26.5 million and $40.0 million, respectively. This decrease of $13.5 million, or 34%, is primarily attributable to reductions in both License fees revenue and Subscriptions revenue.
The decrease in License fees revenue of $10.1 million was primarily driven by the non-renewal of certain content licensing arrangements of $8.4 million, partially offset by an increase of $2.6 million from new content licensing arrangements, and a decrease from the non-renewal of certain bundled distribution agreements of $5.8 million, partially offset by an increase of $1.1 million from new bundled distribution agreements. The decrease in Subscriptions revenue of $2.5 million was primarily due to the termination of certain corporate subscriptions related to bulk agreements, which occurred in the third quarter of 2022.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2023, were $42.3 million, compared to $75.5 million for the same period in 2022, marking a reduction of $33.2 million or 44%.
Cost of Revenues: Cost of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2023 decreased to $18.9 million from $24.8 million in the same period of 2022. Cost of revenues encompasses content amortization, hosting and streaming delivery costs, payment processing costs, commission costs, and subtitling and broadcast costs. This reduction of $5.9 million, or 24%, primarily resulted from the decrease in content amortization and a decrease in revenue share expense related to bundled and premier tier arrangements with other streaming services.
22
Advertising and Marketing: Advertising and marketing expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2023, decreased to $7.3 million from $26.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. This decrease of $18.7 million, or 72%, was primarily due to strategic changes in our marketing approach and cost-saving measures implemented in our advertising campaigns.
General and Administrative: General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2023, decreased to $16.0 million, from $21.1 million for six months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease of $5.1 million, or 24%, was primarily due to cost controls and efficiency measures implemented across our administrative functions.
Impairment of Goodwill and Intangible Assets: We incurred no impairment charges for goodwill and intangible assets for the six months ended June 30, 2023, in contrast to the $3.6 million expense incurred in the corresponding period of 2022.
Operating Loss
The Company experienced an operating loss of $15.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, which is a decrease of $19.7 million, or 56%, compared to the operating loss of $35.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease in our operating loss is primarily driven by the reduction in our operating expenses of $33.2 million, or 44%, partially offset by the reduction in revenue of $13.5 million, or 34%.
Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liability
For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized a gain of $0.1 million, compared to a gain of $4.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. This reduction in gain of $4.2 million, or 97%, primarily stemmed from fluctuations in the market price of our common stock and the corresponding changes to the underlying assumptions used in the valuation model used for our Private Placement Warrants during the six months ended June 30, 2022.
Interest and Other Income (Expense)
For the six months ended June 30, 2023, Interest and other income (expense) amounted to $0.8 million, an increase of $0.9 million compared to an expense of $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The change was primarily due to increased interest income.
Equity Method Investment Loss
For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded a loss of $2.5 million compared to a loss of $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, related to its investments in Spiegel Venture and Nebula. The increase is primarily due to the $2.0 million impairment charge recorded by the Company to its investment in Spiegel Venture during the six months ended June 30, 2023.
Provision for Income Taxes
We had a provision for income taxes of $0.3 and $0.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company’s provision for income taxes is primarily related to foreign withholding income taxes and differs from the federal statutory rate primarily due to the Company being in a full valuation allowance position and not recognizing a benefit for either federal or state income tax purposes.
Net Loss
Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $17.7 million, compared to a net loss of $31.9 million for the same period in 2022. The decrease in our net loss of $14.2 million, or 45%, is primarily due to a decrease in operating expenses and an increase in interest and other income, partially offset by a decrease in revenue, a reduction in gain from the change in the fair value of warrant liability and an impairment charge to one of our equity method investments.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2023, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, totaled $44.8 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company incurred a net loss of $15.7 million and used $10.6 million of net cash in operating activities and $0.1 million of net cash in financing activities, while investing activities provided $15.0 million of net cash.
We believe that our current cash levels, including investments in money market funds that are readily convertible to cash, will be adequate to support our ongoing operations, capital expenditures and working capital for at least the next twelve months. We believe that we have access to additional funds in the short term and the long term, if needed, through the capital markets to obtain further financing.
23
Our principal uses of cash are to acquire content, promote our service through advertising and marketing, and provide for working capital to operate our business. We have experienced significant net losses since our inception, and, given the significant operating and capital expenditures associated with our business plan, we anticipate that we will continue to incur net losses.
Cash Flows
The following table presents our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Cash flows from operating activities primarily consist of net losses, changes to our content assets (including additions and amortization), and other working capital items.
During the six months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022, we recorded a net cash outflow from operating activities of $10.6 million and $18.1 million, respectively, or a decreased outflow of $7.5 million, or 41%.
The net cash outflow used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023, was primarily due to our $17.7 million net loss, $2.6 million of net cash used in changes in operating assets and liabilities, and an impairment charge to one of our equity method investments of $2.0 million. The outflow was partially offset by $7.7 million addback of non-cash expenses net of content additions. The most significant components of non-cash expenses include amortization of content assets of $12.3 million and stock-based compensation expense of $2.7 million, substantially offset by additions to content assets of $7.1 million and the change in content liabilities of $1.1 million. The components of changes in operating assets and liabilities were primarily attributed to a decrease in accrued expenses and other liabilities of $3.9 million and in deferred revenue of $1.4 million, partially offset by an increase in accounts payable of $0.6 million, a decrease in accounts receivable of $1.8 million, and a decrease in other assets of $1.5 million.
The net cash outflow used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022, was primarily due to our $31.9 million net loss, and $5.4 million of non-cash expenses net of content additions, partially offset by $19.1 million in cash provided by changes in operating assets and liabilities. The most significant components of non-cash expenses include content additions of $25.3 million, changes in content liabilities of $3.7 million and changes in the fair value of the warrant liability of $4.3 million, partially offset by amortization of content assets of $19.1 million and stock-based compensation expense of $3.4 million. The components of changes in operating assets and liabilities were primarily attributed to a decrease in accounts receivable of $11.9 million, a decrease in other assets of $4.0 million, an increase in accounts payable of $6.1 million, which were partially offset by a decrease in accrued expenses and other liabilities of $2.9 million.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Cash flow from investing activities consists of purchases, sales and maturities of investments, business acquisitions and equity investments and purchases of property and equipment.
During the six months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022, we recorded a net cash inflow from investing activities of $15.0 million and $24.0 million, respectively, or a decrease of cash inflow of $9.0 million, or 37.5%.
The net cash inflow provided by investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023, was primarily due to maturities of investments in debt securities of $15.0 million.
The net cash inflow provided by investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022, was primarily due to the sale and maturities of investments in debt securities of $27.3 million, partially offset by purchases of investments in debt securities of $1.6 million and investments in Nebula of $1.6 million.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we recorded net cash outflow from financing activities of $0.1 and $0.2 million, respectively, which is attributable to payments of withholding taxes during the respective periods.
Capital Expenditures
Going forward, we expect to continue making expenditures for additions to our content assets and purchases of property and equipment, although at a slower rate than in previous periods. The amount, timing and allocation of capital expenditures are largely discretionary and within management’s control. Depending on market conditions, we may choose to defer a portion of our budgeted expenditures until later periods to achieve the desired balance between sources and uses of liquidity and prioritize capital projects that we believe have the highest expected returns and potential to generate cash flow. Subject to financing alternatives, we may also increase our capital expenditures significantly to take advantage of opportunities we consider to be attractive.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2023, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operation is based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Certain amounts included in or affecting the financial statements presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and related disclosures must be estimated, requiring management to make assumptions with respect to values or conditions which cannot be known with certainty at the time the financial statements are prepared. Management believes that the accounting policies set forth below comprise the most important “critical accounting policies” for the Company. A critical accounting policy is one which is both important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results of operations and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Management evaluates such policies on an ongoing basis, based upon historical results and experience, consultation with experts and other methods that management considers reasonable in the particular circumstances under which the judgments and estimates are made, as well as management’s forecasts as to the manner in which such circumstances may change in the future.
Content Assets
The Company acquires, licenses and produces content, including original programming, in order to offer customers unlimited viewing of factual entertainment content. The content licenses are for a fixed fee and specific windows of availability. Payments for content, including additions to content assets and the changes in related liabilities, are classified within “Net cash used in operating activities” on the unaudited consolidated statements of cash flows.
The Company recognizes its content assets (licensed and produced) as “Content assets, net” on the unaudited consolidated balance sheets. For licenses, the Company capitalizes the fee per title and records a corresponding liability at the gross amount of the liability when the license period begins, the cost of the title is known, and the title is accepted and available for streaming. For productions, the Company capitalizes costs associated with the production, including development costs, direct costs, and production overhead.
25
Based on factors including historical and estimated viewing patterns, the Company previously amortized the content assets (licensed and produced) in “Cost of revenues” on the unaudited consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the shorter of each title’s contractual window of availability or estimated period of use, beginning with the month of first availability. Starting July 1, 2021, the Company amortizes content assets on an accelerated basis in the initial two months after a title is published on the Company’s platform, as the Company has observed and expects more upfront viewing of content, generally as a result of additional marketing efforts. Furthermore, the amortization of original content is more accelerated than that of licensed content. We review factors that impact the amortization of the content assets on a regular basis and the estimates related to these factors require considerable management judgment. The Company continues to review factors impacting the amortization of content assets on an ongoing basis and will also record amortization on an accelerated basis when there is more upfront use of a title, for instance due to significant content licensing.
The Company’s business model is generally subscription based as opposed to a model generating revenues at a specific title level. Content assets (licensed and produced) are predominantly monetized as a group and therefore are reviewed in aggregate at a group level when an event or change in circumstances indicates a change in the expected usefulness of the content or that the fair value may be less than unamortized cost. If such changes are identified, the aggregated content assets will be stated at the lower of unamortized cost or fair value. In addition, unamortized costs for assets that have been, or are expected to be, abandoned are written off.
Revenue recognition
Subscriptions — O&O Service
The Company generates revenue from monthly subscription fees from its O&O Service. CuriosityStream subscribers enter into month-to-month or annual subscriptions with the Company. The Company bills the monthly subscriber on each subscriber’s monthly anniversary date and recognizes the revenue ratably over each monthly membership period. The annual subscription fees are collected by the Company at the start of the annual subscription period and are recognized ratably over the subsequent twelve-month period. Revenues are presented net of the taxes that are collected from subscribers and remitted to governmental authorities.
Subscriptions — App Services
The Company also earns subscription revenues through its App Services. These subscriptions are similar to the O&O Service subscriptions, but are generated based on agreements with certain streaming media players as well as with Smart TV brands and gaming consoles. Under these agreements, the streaming media player typically bills the subscriber directly and then remits the collected subscriptions to the Company, net of a distribution fee. The Company recognizes the gross subscription revenues when earned and simultaneously recognizes the corresponding distribution fees as an expense. The Company is the principal in these relationships as the Company retains control over service delivery to its subscribers.
License Fees — Partner Direct and Bundled Distribution
The Company generates license fee revenues from MVPDs such as Comcast and Cox as well as from vMVPDs such as Amazon and Sling TV (MVPDs and vMVPDs are also referred to as affiliates). Under the terms of the agreements with these affiliates, the Company receives license fees based upon contracted programming rates and subscriber levels reported by the affiliates. In exchange, the Company licenses its content to the affiliates for distribution to their subscribers. The Company earns revenue under these agreements either based on the total number of subscribers multiplied by rates specified in the agreements or based on fixed fee arrangements. These revenues are recognized over the term of each agreement when earned.
License Fees — Content Licensing
The Company has distribution agreements which grant a licensee limited distribution rights to the Company’s programs for varying terms, generally in exchange for a fixed license fee. Revenue is recognized once the content is made available for the licensee to use.
The Company’s performance obligations include (1) access to its SVOD platform via the Company’s O&O Service and App Services, (2) access to the Company’s content assets, and (3) licenses of specific program titles. In contracts containing the right to access the Company SVOD platform, the performance obligation is satisfied as access to the SVOD platform is provided post any free trial period. In contracts which contain access to the Company’s content assets, the performance obligation is satisfied as access to the content is provided. For contracts with licenses of specific program titles, the performance obligation is satisfied as that content is made available for the customer to use.

| Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |||||||||||||
| Basis of presentation and summary of significant accounting policies | Note 2 — Basis of presentation and summary of significant accounting policies Basis of presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and are consistent in all material respects with those applied in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition, and Results of Operations included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023. There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies compared to the significant accounting policies described in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022. The Company periodically reviews and evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets. Where applicable, estimates of net future cash flows, on an undiscounted basis, are calculated based on future revenue and operating performance estimates. If appropriate and where deemed necessary, a reduction in the carrying value is recorded based on the difference between the carrying value and the fair value based on discounted cash flows. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company identified certain indicators of impairment with respect to its long-lived asset group, including the decline in the Company’s stock price. Based on the resulting impairment analysis, the Company determined that the undiscounted cash flows of the long-lived asset group, which for the purposes of this analysis excluded the Company’s Investments in equity method investees, exceeded the carrying value as of June 30. 2023. As such, no impairment charges with respect to the long-lived asset group were required to be recorded by the Company during the three months ended June 30, 2023. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company also performed a separate analysis of its Investments in equity method investees to determine if an “other-than-temporary” impairment exists. Refer to Note 3 for further discussion on the results of this analysis. Use of estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates include the content asset amortization policy, the assessment of the recoverability of content assets and equity method investments, the fair value of share-based awards and liability classified warrants and measurement of income tax assets and liabilities. Reclassification Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Concentration of risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents, investments, and accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash, cash equivalents, and investments with high credit quality financial institutions; at times, such balances with the financial institutions may exceed the applicable FDIC-insured limits. Accounts receivable, net are typically unsecured and are derived from revenues earned from customers primarily located in the United States. Fair value measurement of financial instruments Fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. The applicable accounting guidance establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability. The guidance establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. The Company reviews the fair value hierarchy classification at each reporting period. Changes in the observability of valuation inputs may result in a reclassification of levels for certain securities within the fair value hierarchy. The Company’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis include its investments in money market funds and corporate debt securities. Level 1 inputs were derived by using unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets in active markets and were used to value the Company’s investments in money market funds and U.S. government debt securities. Level 2 inputs were derived using prices for similar investments and were used to value the Company’s investments in corporate and municipal debt securities. The Company’s liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis include its private placement warrants issued to Software Acquisition Holdings LLC, the Company’s former Sponsor, in a private placement offering (the “Private Placement Warrants”). The fair value of the Private Placement Warrants is considered a Level 3 valuation and is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Refer to Note 6 for significant assumptions which the Company used in the fair value model for the Private Placement Warrants. Certain assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and are subject to fair value adjustments only in certain circumstances, e.g., when there is evidence of impairment indicators. During the three-months ended June 30, 2023, the Company performed an analysis of its Investments in equity method investees to determine if an “other-than-temporary” impairment exists. The resulting fair value measurements of the equity-method investments are considered to be Level 3 measurements. Refer to Note 3 for further discussion of the results of this analysis. The Company’s remaining financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses and other liabilities are carried at cost, which approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. Recently Adopted Financial Accounting Standards As an emerging growth company (“EGC”), the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”) allows the Company to delay adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are applicable to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period under the JOBS Act until such time as the Company is no longer considered to be an EGC. In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”).” The amendments in this update introduce a new standard to replace the incurred loss impairment methodology under prior U.S. GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The Company determines its allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical loss experience, customer financial condition, and current economic conditions. The Company adopted the new standard effective January 1, 2023, which has not had a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. |

| Equity Investments | Note 3 — Equity Investments Spiegel TV Geschichte und Wissen GmbH & Co. KG (the “Spiegel Venture”) In July 2021, the Company acquired a 32% ownership in the Spiegel Venture for an initial investment of $3.3 million. The Spiegel Venture, which prior to the Company’s equity purchase, was jointly owned and operated by Spiegel TV GmbH (“Spiegel TV”) and Autentic GmbH (“Autentic”), operates two documentary channels, together with an SVOD service, which provide factual content to pay television audiences in Germany. The Company has not received any dividends from the Spiegel Venture as of June 30, 2023. Per the Share Purchase Agreement, which was amended during the six months ended June 30, 2023 (as amended, the “SPA”), in the event Spiegel Venture achieved certain financial targets during its 2022 fiscal period, the Company is required to make an additional payment related to its 32% equity ownership to both Spiegel TV and Autentic (the “Holdback Payment”). During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company determined Spiegel Venture had achieved such financial targets, resulting in the Company recording a Holdback Payment liability of $0.9 million, which is included in Accounts Payable on its consolidated balance sheet, related to the Holdback Payment. This amount was paid during July 2023. The Company has a call option that permits it to require Spiegel TV and Autentic to sell their ownership interests in Spiegel Venture (“Call Option”) to the Company. The Call Option, exercisable at a value based on a determinable calculation in the SPA, is initially exercisable only during the period that is the later of (i) the 30-day period following the adoption of Spiegel Venture’s audited financial statements for the fiscal year 2025, and (ii) the period between March 1, 2026 and March 30, 2026. Together with the Call Option, each of Spiegel TV and Autentic has a put option that permits it to require the Company to purchase their interest (“Put Option”) at a value based on a determinable calculation outlined in the SPA. The Put Option is only exercisable upon the achievement of certain defined conditions, as outlined in the SPA, and is initially exercisable only during the period that is the later of (i) the 60-day period following the adoption of Spiegel Venture’s audited financial statements for the fiscal year 2025, and (ii) the period between April 1, 2026 and April 30, 2026. In the event the Call Option or Put Option is not exercised, both options will continue to be available to each respective party in the following year through perpetuity, with its exercise limited to the same date range as outlined above. The Put Option is not currently considered to be probable of becoming exercisable based on the defined conditions in the SPA. Watch Nebula LLC (“Nebula”) On August 23, 2021, the Company purchased a 12% ownership interest in Nebula for $6.0 million. Nebula is an SVOD technology platform built for and by a group of content creators. Should Nebula meet certain quarterly targets through the third quarter of 2023, the Company is obligated to purchase additional ownership interests, each for a payment of $0.8 million. After each payment the Company will obtain an additional 1.625% of equity ownership interests. The Company did not make further investments in Nebula during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. The Company’s total ownership interest in Nebula as of June 30, 2023 was 16.875%. Upon its initial investment, the Company obtained 25% representation on Nebula’s Board of Directors, providing the Company with significant influence, but not a controlling interest. The Company has not received dividends from Nebula as of June 30, 2023. Impairment Assessment The Company regularly reviews its Investments in equity method investees for impairment, including when the carrying value of an investment exceeds its related market or fair value.

| Stockholders' Equity Note [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Stockholders' equity | Note 6 — Stockholders’ equity Common Stock As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had authorized the issuance of 126,000,000 shares of capital stock, par value of $0.0001 per share, consisting of (a) 125,000,000 shares of common stock, and (b) 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Warrants As of June 30 , 2023, the Company had 3,054,203 publicly traded warrants that were sold as part of the units of Software Acquisition Group Inc. in its initial public offering on November 22, 2019 and that were issued to the PIPE Investors in connection with the business combination that closed on October 14, 2020 (the “Public Warrants” and, together with the Private Placement Warrants, the “Warrants”) and 3,676,000 Private Placement Warrants outstanding. The Private Placement Warrants are liability-classified, and the Public Warrants are equity-classified. Each whole warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. All Warrants expire on October 14, 2025. The Company has the right to redeem the outstanding Public Warrants in whole and not in part at a price of $0.01 per warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, if and only if the last sale price of the Company’s common stock matched or exceeded $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sent the notice of redemption to the warrant holders. The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants except that, so long as they are held by Software Acquisition Holdings LLC or its permitted transferees: (i) they will not be redeemable by the Company; (ii) they may be exercised by the holders on a cashless basis; and (iii) they are subject to registration rights. There were no exercises of warrants during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. The warrant liability related to the Private Placement Warrants is recorded at fair value as of each reporting date with the change in fair value reported within other income (expense) in the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of operations as “Change in fair value of warrant liability” until the warrants are exercised, expired or other facts and circumstances lead the warrant liability to be reclassified to stockholders’ equity. The fair value of the warrant liability for the Private Placement Warrants was estimated using a Black-Scholes pricing model using Level 3 inputs. The significant assumptions used in preparing the Black-Scholes option pricing model are as follows:
The change in fair value of the private placement warrant liability for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 resulted in a gain of $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 resulted in a gain of $0.5 million and $4.3 million, respectively.

| Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Earnings (loss) per share | Note 7 — Earnings (loss) per share Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share calculations are calculated on the basis of the weighted average number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding during the respective periods. Diluted earnings (loss) per share give effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method for stock options and other potentially dilutive securities. In computing diluted earnings (loss) per share, the average fair value of the Company’s common stock for the period is used to determine the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise price of the options. Purchases of treasury stock reduce the outstanding shares commencing on the date that the stock is purchased. Common stock equivalents are excluded from the calculation when a loss is incurred as their effect would be anti-dilutive.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the following share equivalents were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as the inclusion of such shares would be anti-dilutive. Common shares issuable for warrants, options, and restricted stock units (RSUs) represent the total amount of outstanding warrants, stock options, and restricted stock units at June 30, 2023 and 2022.

| Stock-based compensation | Note 8 — Stock-based compensation The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of the award. The fair value is recognized in earnings over the period during which an employee is required to provide the service. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. CuriosityStream 2020 Omnibus Plan In October 2020, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the CuriosityStream 2020 Omnibus Plan (the “2020 Plan”). Upon adoption of the 2020 Plan, a total of 7,725,000 shares were approved to be issued as stock options, share appreciation rights, restricted stock units and restricted stock. The following table summarizes stock option and restricted stock unit (“RSU”) activity, prices, and values for the six months ended June 30, 2023:
There were no options exercised during the three and six months ended June 30 2023 and 2022. Stock options and RSU awards generally vest on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis over a period of four years from the grant date. When options are exercised, the Company’s policy is to issue previously unissued shares of Common Stock to satisfy share option exercises. Upon vesting and distribution of RSUs, the Company’s policy is to issue previously unissued shares of Common Stock to satisfy restricted stock units vested, net of shares withheld for taxes if elected by the RSU holder. The fair value of stock option awards is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which includes a number of assumptions including Company’s estimates of stock price volatility, employee stock option exercise behaviors, future dividend payments, and risk-free interest rates. The expected term of options granted is the estimated period of time from the beginning of the vesting period to the date of expected exercise or other settlement, based on historical exercises and post-vesting terminations. The Company generally estimates expected term based on the midpoint between the vesting date and the end of the contractual term, also known as the simplified method, given the lack of historical exercise behavior. Pursuant to shareholder approval, in July 2023, the Company exchanged certain employees’ stock options into RSUs as part of its equity compensation plan. This initiative was taken to further align employee incentives with long-term shareholder value. Refer to Note 14. The Company uses its own historical volatility as well as the historical volatility of similar public companies for estimating volatility. The risk-free interest rate is estimated using the rate of return on U.S. Treasury securities with maturities that approximate to the expected term of the option. The Company does not currently anticipate declaring any dividends. Assumptions used to value the options granted and the resulting weighted-average grant date fair value and stock-based compensation expense were as follows:
Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized on a
straight-line basis over the requisite service period. |

| Leases | Note 11 — Leases Company as a Lessee The Company is a party to a non-cancellable operating lease agreement for office space, which expires in 2033. The Company’s operating lease for this office space includes fixed rent payments and variable lease payments, which are primarily related to common area maintenance and utility charges. The Company elected not to separate lease and non-lease components, and as such, all amounts paid under the lease are classified as either fixed or variable lease payments. Fixed lease payments were included in the calculation of right of use (“ROU”) asset and leases liabilities with variable lease payments being recognized as lease expense as incurred. The Company has determined that no renewal clauses are reasonably certain of being exercised and therefore has not included any renewal periods within the lease term for this lease. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had operating lease ROU assets of $3.6 million, current lease liabilities of $0.4 million, and non-current lease liabilities of $4.5 million. In measuring operating lease liabilities, the Company used a weighted average discount rate of 4.4% in existence as of the January 1, 2022 adoption date of the new leasing standard. The weighted average remaining lease term as of June 30, 2023 was 9.67 years. Components of Lease Cost The Company’s total operating lease cost for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was comprised of the following (in thousands):
Maturity of Lease Liabilities As of June 30, 2023, maturities of the Company’s operating lease liabilities, which do not include short-term leases and variable lease payments, are as follows (in thousands):
Company as Lessor The Company sublets a portion of its office space to a related party and accounts for the arrangement as an operating lease. Related party sublease rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis and is included in Interest and other income (expense) in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, operating lease income from the Company’s sublet was less than $0.1 million. As of June 30, 2023, total remaining future minimum lease payments receivable on the Company’s operating lease were $0.6 million. |

All content obligations are expected to be paid by December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had $11.5 million of content obligations comprised of $2.9 million included in current content liabilities in the accompanying unaudited consolidated balance sheets and $8.6 million of obligations that are not reflected in the accompanying unaudited consolidated balance sheets as they did not yet meet the asset recognition criteria for content assets. Content obligations include amounts related to licensed, commissioned and internally produced streaming content. An obligation for the production of content includes non-cancelable commitments under creative talent and employment agreements. An obligation for the licensed and commissioned content is incurred at the time the Company enters into an agreement to obtain future titles. Once a title becomes available, a content liability is generally recorded. Certain agreements include the obligation to license rights for unknown future titles, the ultimate quantity and/or fees for which are not yet determinable as of the reporting date. Advertising commitments The Company has certain commitments with regards to future advertising and marketing expenses as stated in the various licensee agreements. Certain of the agreements do not specify the amount of advertising and marketing commitment; however, the total commitments for agreements which do specify the amount are $2.1
million as of June 30, 2023, of which $1.4 million and $0.7 million are expected to be paid during the six months ending December 31, 2023, and year ending December 31, 2024, respectively. |

| Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |||||||||||||
| Basis of presentation | Basis of presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and are consistent in all material respects with those applied in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition, and Results of Operations included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023. There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies compared to the significant accounting policies described in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022. The Company periodically reviews and evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets. Where applicable, estimates of net future cash flows, on an undiscounted basis, are calculated based on future revenue and operating performance estimates. If appropriate and where deemed necessary, a reduction in the carrying value is recorded based on the difference between the carrying value and the fair value based on discounted cash flows. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company identified certain indicators of impairment with respect to its long-lived asset group, including the decline in the Company’s stock price. Based on the resulting impairment analysis, the Company determined that the undiscounted cash flows of the long-lived asset group, which for the purposes of this analysis excluded the Company’s Investments in equity method investees, exceeded the carrying value as of June 30. 2023. As such, no impairment charges with respect to the long-lived asset group were required to be recorded by the Company during the three months ended June 30, 2023. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company also performed a separate analysis of its Investments in equity method investees to determine if an “other-than-temporary” impairment exists. Refer to Note 3 for further discussion on the results of this analysis. |

| Use of estimates | Use of estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates include the content asset amortization policy, the assessment of the recoverability of content assets and equity method investments, the fair value of share-based awards and liability classified warrants and measurement of income tax assets and liabilities.

| Concentration of risk | Concentration of risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents, investments, and accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash, cash equivalents, and investments with high credit quality financial institutions; at times, such balances with the financial institutions may exceed the applicable FDIC-insured limits. Accounts receivable, net are typically unsecured and are derived from revenues earned from customers primarily located in the United States.

| Fair value measurement of financial instruments | Fair value measurement of financial instruments Fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. The applicable accounting guidance establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability. The guidance establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. The Company reviews the fair value hierarchy classification at each reporting period. Changes in the observability of valuation inputs may result in a reclassification of levels for certain securities within the fair value hierarchy. The Company’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis include its investments in money market funds and corporate debt securities. Level 1 inputs were derived by using unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets in active markets and were used to value the Company’s investments in money market funds and U.S. government debt securities. Level 2 inputs were derived using prices for similar investments and were used to value the Company’s investments in corporate and municipal debt securities. The Company’s liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis include its private placement warrants issued to Software Acquisition Holdings LLC, the Company’s former Sponsor, in a private placement offering (the “Private Placement Warrants”). The fair value of the Private Placement Warrants is considered a Level 3 valuation and is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Refer to Note 6 for significant assumptions which the Company used in the fair value model for the Private Placement Warrants. Certain assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and are subject to fair value adjustments only in certain circumstances, e.g., when there is evidence of impairment indicators. During the three-months ended June 30, 2023, the Company performed an analysis of its Investments in equity method investees to determine if an “other-than-temporary” impairment exists. The resulting fair value measurements of the equity-method investments are considered to be Level 3 measurements. Refer to Note 3 for further discussion of the results of this analysis. The Company’s remaining financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses and other liabilities are carried at cost, which approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.

| Recently Adopted Financial Accounting Standards | Recently Adopted Financial Accounting Standards As an emerging growth company (“EGC”), the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”) allows the Company to delay adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are applicable to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period under the JOBS Act until such time as the Company is no longer considered to be an EGC. In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”).” The amendments in this update introduce a new standard to replace the incurred loss impairment methodology under prior U.S. GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The Company determines its allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical loss experience, customer financial condition, and current economic conditions. The Company adopted the new standard effective January 1, 2023, which has not had a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. |
