, during fiscal year 2022, in connection with the completion of the acquisition (the “Merger”) in which we acquired the WarnerMedia business (the “WarnerMedia Business”) from AT&T Inc. (“AT&T”), we changed our segment presentation and implemented various restructuring and transformation initiatives. During fiscal year 2024, we announced a new corporate structure whereby the Company would reorganize into two distinct operating divisions, anticipated to be implemented during 2025. Such changes could incur unforeseen costs and disruptions, are subject to execution risk, and may not produce the anticipated benefits.

Certain of our businesses are conducted through joint ventures or partnerships with one or more third parties, in which we share ownership, management, and profits of the business operation to varying degrees.

Certain of our businesses are conducted through joint ventures or partnerships with one or more third parties, where we have varying degrees of ownership and influence. From time to time, we may disagree with our joint venture partners on the strategy or management of a joint venture business but may be constrained in our ability to make decisions unilaterally as a result of legal or contractual obligations to our joint venture partners, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, we believe our relationship with our third-party partners is an important factor in the success of any joint venture or partnership. If a partner changes, our relationship may be adversely affected and we may not realize the anticipated benefits from such joint venture or partnership.
