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 December 31, 2020, the Company had $185.9 million purchase commitments for inventory.

The Company records a liability for non-cancelable purchase commitments in excess of projected demand forecasts. The Company recorded $1.2 million and $0.3 million for these purchase commitments in “Accrued liabilities” as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

License Content Commitments

As of December 31, 2020, the Company recognized a liability of $6.2 million in Accrued liabilities and $1.4 million in Other long-term liabilities for licensed content that is available for streaming. As of December 31, 2019, the Company recorded $1.7 million as obligations in Accrued liabilities for licensed content that is available for streaming. The increase in content liability is due to change in the mix of content licensed and the period over which this content is available for streaming.

The Company also enters into contracts with content publishers to acquire content or to buy ad inventory in the future. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had $71.0 million in commitments with content publishers for content or to buy ad inventory that are non-cancellable. 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.

Letters of Credit

As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had irrevocable letters of credit outstanding in the amount of $30.9 million and $31.8 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.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company does not have any loss contingencies that are material. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded expenses of $9.9 million, in total cost of revenue, for various claims related to patent infringements. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company changed its estimate of certain liabilities previously recorded for intellectual property licensing and released $8.9 million as a result of its assessment that the likelihood of payment is now remote. The reversal of $8.9 million is recorded within cost of revenue, player during the year ended December 31, 2018, in the consolidated statements of operations.

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 have not accrued any liabilities related to such obligations in the consolidated financial statements.
