The following table presents certain supplemental cash flow and other non-cash data:

Income Taxes

​

Beginning in 2024, DISH DBS and its domestic subsidiaries join with our parent, DISH Network, and our ultimate parent, EchoStar, in filing U.S. consolidated federal income tax returns and, in some states, combined or consolidated returns. The federal and state income tax provisions or benefits recorded by DISH DBS are generally those that would have been recorded if DISH DBS and its domestic subsidiaries had filed returns as a consolidated group independent of EchoStar. Cash is due and paid to DISH Network based on amounts that would be payable based on DISH DBS consolidated or combined group filings.

​

Centralized Cash Management System

​

Our parent, DISH Network, provides a centralized system for the management of our restricted and unrestricted cash, cash equivalents, and marketable investment securities as it does for all of its subsidiaries to, among other reasons, maximize yield of the portfolio. As a result, the restricted and unrestricted cash, cash equivalents, and marketable investment securities included on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are a component or portion of the overall restricted and unrestricted cash, cash equivalents, and marketable investment securities portfolio included on DISH Network’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and are managed by DISH Network. We are reflecting the purchases and sales of marketable investment securities on a net basis for each period presented on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as we believe the net presentation is more meaningful to our cash flows from investing activities.
