| Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The Company reports on a fiscal year basis ending on June 30th (“Fiscal Year”). In these consolidated financial statements, the fiscal years ended June 30, 2026, 2025 and 2024 are referred to as “Fiscal Year 2026”, “Fiscal Year 2025”, and “Fiscal Year 2024”, respectively, and the fiscal year ending June 30, 2027 is referred to as “Fiscal Year 2027”. These financial statements reflect the historical results of operations, financial position and cash flows of the Company in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). References to U.S. GAAP issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in these footnotes are to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, also referred to as “ASC.” The Company’s financial statements as of and for the periods ended June 30, 2026, 2025 and 2024 are presented on a consolidated basis.

| Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events. These estimates and the underlying assumptions affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported, disclosures about contingent assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Such estimates include the provision for credit losses, valuation of goodwill, intangible assets, other long-lived assets, deferred tax assets, pension and other postretirement benefit obligations and the related net periodic benefit cost, and other liabilities. In addition, estimates are used in revenue recognition, depreciation and amortization, litigation matters and other matters. Management believes its use of estimates in the consolidated financial statements to be reasonable. Management evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the general economic environment and actions it may take in the future. The Company adjusts such estimates when facts and circumstances dictate. However, these estimates may involve significant uncertainties and judgments and cannot be determined with precision. In addition, these estimates are based on management’s best judgment at a point in time and, as such, these estimates may ultimately differ from actual results. Changes in estimates resulting from weakness in the economic environment or other factors beyond the Company’s control could be material and would be reflected in the consolidated financial statements in future periods.

| Revenue Recognition | The Company generates revenue from the provision of services and sale of tangible products, as well as leasing transactions. Revenues are presented under these three categories in the consolidated statements of operations, as described below. Service revenue, presented as “Revenues from entertainment offerings,” primarily includes: •Ticket sales and other ticket-related revenue •Venue license fees for events held at the Company’s venues that the Company does not produce or promote/co-promote •Sponsorship and signage •Suite licenses and single night suite rentals •Advertising commissions and related service fees •Commissions related to the sale of merchandise for which the Company is not the principal in the underlying transaction Product revenue, presented as “Food, beverage, and merchandise revenues”, includes: •Sales of food and beverage during events held at the Company’s venues •Sales of the Company’s merchandise at the Company’s venues and via traditional retail channels Lease revenue, presented as “Arena license fees and other leasing revenue”, includes: •Rental fees related to the arena license agreements that require the New York Knicks (“Knicks”) and the New York Rangers (“Rangers”) to play their home games at The Garden (the “Arena License Agreements”) with MSG Sports •Sublease income ________________ (a) Leasing direct operating expenses materially consist of venue operations and infrastructure costs. Venue operations and infrastructure costs are not specifically allocated to each revenue category, but are instead attributed in their entirety to service revenue, which is the Company’s principal revenue category. As a result, the Company combines service and leasing direct operating expenses within “Entertainment offerings, arena license fees, and other leasing direct operating expenses” for presentation purposes. All revenue recognized in the consolidated statements of operations is considered to be revenue from contracts with customers in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue From Contracts with Customers (“ASC Topic 606”), except for revenues from the Arena License Agreements and leases and subleases that are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 842, Leases (“ASC Topic 842”). The Company recognizes revenue when, or as, performance obligations under the terms of a contract are satisfied, which generally occurs when, or as, control of promised goods or services is transferred to customers. Revenue is measured as the amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services (“transaction price”). To the extent the transaction price includes variable consideration, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration that should be included in the transaction price utilizing the most likely amount to which the Company expects to be entitled. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price if, in the Company’s judgment, it is probable that a significant future reversal of cumulative revenue under the contract will not occur. Estimates of variable consideration and the determination of whether to include such estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on an assessment of the Company’s anticipated performance and all information that is reasonably available. The Company accounts for taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities on a net basis and excludes these amounts from revenues. Revenues from entertainment offerings The Company’s performance obligations with respect to revenues from entertainment offerings are generally satisfied at the point in time the related event occurs or as the underlying benefits are delivered over the term of the respective agreements. Revenues from entertainment offerings include revenue from the license of The Garden’s suites for the Company’s or MSG Sports’ events. Suite license arrangements are generally multi-year fixed-fee arrangements that include annual fee increases. Payment terms for suite license arrangements can vary by contract, but payments are generally due in installments prior to provisions of access to the suite. The Company’s performance obligation under such arrangements is to provide the licensee with access to the suite when events occur at The Garden. The Company accounts for the performance obligation under these types of arrangements as a series and, as a result, the related suite license fees for all years during the license term are aggregated and revenue is recognized proportionately over the license period as the Company satisfies the related performance obligation. Progress toward satisfaction of the Company’s suite license performance obligation is measured as access to the suite is provided to the licensee for each event throughout the contractual term of the license. Food, beverage, and merchandise revenues The Company’s performance obligations with respect to revenue from food, beverage, and merchandise are satisfied at the point in time the related goods are transferred to the customer. Arena License fees and other leasing revenue The Company is a party to Arena License Agreements with MSG Sports that require the Knicks and the Rangers to play their home games at The Garden. These agreements also provide for the provision of certain services by the Company to MSG Sports for MSG Sports events that are held at The Garden and include revenue-sharing provisions for certain agreements entered into by the Company and MSG Sports. The Arena License Agreements contain both lease and non-lease components. The revenue to be recognized with respect to the lease components of the Arena License Agreements is accounted for as operating lease revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 842. The non-lease components are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 606, as further discussed below. Arrangements with Multiple Performance Obligations The Company enters into arrangements with multiple performance obligations, such as multi-year sponsorship agreements, which may derive revenues for the Company, as well as Sphere Entertainment and MSG Sports within a single arrangement. The Company also derives revenue from similar types of arrangements which are entered into by Sphere Entertainment and MSG Sports. Payment terms for such arrangements can vary by contract, but payments are generally due in installments throughout the contractual term. The performance obligations included in each sponsorship agreement vary and may include advertising and other benefits such as, but not limited to, signage at The Garden and the Company’s other venues, digital advertising, event or property-specific advertising, as well as non-advertising benefits such as suite licenses and event tickets. Further, these arrangements may require the Company to purchase the customers’ goods or services. To the extent the Company’s multi-year arrangements provide for performance obligations that are consistent over the multi-year contractual term, such performance obligations generally meet the definition of a series as provided for under the accounting guidance. If performance obligations are concluded to meet the definition of a series, the contractual fees for all years during the contract term are aggregated and the related revenue is recognized proportionately as the underlying performance obligation is satisfied. The timing of revenue recognition for each performance obligation is dependent upon the facts and circumstances surrounding the Company’s satisfaction of its respective performance obligation. The Company allocates the transaction price for such arrangements to each performance obligation within the arrangement based on the estimated relative standalone selling price of the performance obligation. The Company’s process for determining its estimated standalone selling prices involves management’s judgment and considers multiple factors including company specific and market specific factors that may vary depending upon the unique facts and circumstances related to each performance obligation. Key factors considered by the Company in developing an estimated standalone selling price for its performance obligations include, but are not limited to, prices charged for similar performance obligations, the Company’s ongoing pricing strategy and policies, and consideration of pricing of similar performance obligations sold in other arrangements with multiple performance obligations. Principal versus Agent Revenue Recognition The Company reports revenue on a gross or net basis based on management’s assessment of whether the Company acts as a principal or agent in the transaction. The determination of whether the Company acts as a principal or an agent in a transaction is based on an evaluation of whether the Company controls the good or service before transfer to the customer. When the Company concludes that it controls the good or service before transfer to the customer, the Company is considered a principal in the transaction and records revenue on a gross basis. When the Company concludes that it does not control the good or service before transfer to the customer but arranges for another entity to provide the good or service, the Company acts as an agent and records revenue on a net basis in the amount it earns for its agency service. Revenue for the Company’s suite license arrangements is recorded on a gross basis, as the Company is the principal in such transactions and controls the related goods or services before transfer to the customer. MSG Sports is entitled to a 67.5% share of the Company’s suite license revenue pursuant to the terms of the Arena License Agreements, which is recognized as a component of Direct operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. For sponsorship agreements entered into by the Company or by MSG Sports that contain performance obligations satisfied solely by the Company, revenue is recorded on a gross basis as the Company is the principal with respect to such performance obligations and controls the related goods or services before transfer to the customer. In accordance with the Arena License Agreements, MSG Sports is entitled to a share of the revenue generated from certain signage performance obligations where the Company is the principal. The Company records this signage revenue on a gross basis and MSG Sports’ share of such revenue as a component of Direct operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company is a party to advertising sales representation agreements with certain subsidiaries of MSG Sports. Pursuant to these agreements, the Company has the exclusive right and obligation to sell sponsorship assets on behalf of the respective subsidiaries of MSG Sports. The Company is entitled to both fixed and variable commissions under the terms of these agreements. The Company recognizes the fixed component ratably over the term of the arrangement which corresponds with the Company’s satisfaction of its service-based performance obligations. Variable commissions are earned and recognized as the related sponsorship performance obligations are satisfied by MSG Sports. The Company is not the principal in such arrangements as it does not control the related goods or services prior to transfer to the customer. As an agent under these arrangements, the Company recognizes the advertising commission revenue in the Revenues from entertainment offerings in the consolidated statements of operations. See Note 15. Related Party Transactions for more information regarding the advertising sales representation agreements with subsidiaries of MSG Sports and Sphere Entertainment. Contract Balances Amounts collected in advance of the Company’s satisfaction of its contractual performance obligations are recorded as a contract liability in Deferred revenue and recognized as revenue as the related performance obligations are satisfied. Amounts collected in advance of events for which the Company is not the promoter or co-promoter do not represent contract liabilities and are recorded in Accounts payable, accrued and other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Amounts recognized as revenue for which the Company has a right to consideration for goods or services transferred to customers and for which the Company does not have an unconditional right to bill as of the reporting date are recorded as contract assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Contract assets are transferred to accounts receivable once the Company’s right to consideration becomes unconditional.

| Direct Operating Expenses | Direct operating expenses related to the provision of services and leasing, presented as “Entertainment offerings, arena license fees, and other leasing direct operating expenses”, primarily include:(a) •Event production costs including direct personnel expenses •Venue operations and infrastructure costs (a) •Venue rental costs for venues not owned by the Company •Sponsorship and signage fulfillment costs •Contractual revenue sharing expenses related to suite licenses and certain internal signage •Event-related marketing and advertising costs Direct operating expenses related to the sale of products, presented as “Food, beverage, and merchandise direct operating expenses” include: •Costs of goods sold including direct personnel expenses •Contractual revenue sharing expenses related to food and beverage sold at events held by Madison Square Garden Sports Corp. (together with its subsidiaries, as applicable, “MSG Sports”) at The Garden In addition, the Company defers certain costs to fulfill the Company’s contracts with customers to the extent such costs relate directly to the contracts, are expected to generate resources that will be used to satisfy the Company’s performance obligations under the contracts, and are expected to be recovered through revenue generated under the contracts. Contract fulfillment costs are expensed as the Company satisfies the related performance obligations. The Company may incur costs such as commissions to obtain its multi-year sponsorship agreements. The Company assesses such costs for capitalization on a contract by contract basis. To the extent costs are capitalized, the Company estimates the useful life of the related contract asset, which may be the underlying contract term or the estimated customer life depending on the facts and circumstances surrounding the contract. The contract asset is amortized over the estimated useful life. Production Costs for the Company’s Original Productions The Company defers certain costs of productions such as creative design, scenery, wardrobes, rehearsal and other related costs for the Company’s proprietary shows, recorded in Prepaid expenses and other current assets and Other non-current assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Deferred production costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the course of a production’s performance period using the expected life of a show’s assets and are recorded as a component of Entertainment offerings, arena license fees, and other leasing direct operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Deferred production costs are subject to recoverability assessments whenever there is an indication of potential impairment. Revenue Sharing Expenses Revenue sharing expenses are determined based on contractual agreements between the Company and MSG Sports, primarily related to suite licenses, certain internal signage and in-venue food and beverage sales and are recorded as a component of Entertainment offerings, arena license fees, and other leasing direct operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Advertising Expenses | Advertising ExpensesAdvertising costs are typically charged to expense when incurred. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Income Taxes | Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC Topic 740”). The Company’s provision for income taxes is based on current period income, changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities, and changes in estimates with regard to uncertain tax positions. Deferred tax assets are subject to an ongoing assessment of realizability. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company’s ability to realize its deferred tax assets depends upon the generation of sufficient future taxable income to allow for the realization of its deductible temporary differences. Interest and penalties, if any, associated with uncertain tax positions are included in income tax expense.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Share-based Compensation | Share-based Compensation The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity-based instruments based on the grant date fair value of the award. Share-based compensation cost is recognized in earnings over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, except for restricted stock units granted to non-employee directors which, unless otherwise provided under the applicable award agreement, are fully vested, and are expensed at the grant date. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur, rather than estimating expected forfeitures. Share-based Compensation Expense Share-based compensation expense is generally recognized straight-line over the vesting term of the award, which typically provides for three-year cliff or graded vesting subject to continued employment with the Company, Sphere Entertainment or MSG Sports.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Earnings (Loss) Per Share | Earnings (Loss) Per Share Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) attributable to the Company’s common stockholders is based upon net income attributable to the Company’s common stockholders divided by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the effect of the assumed vesting of restricted stock units and exercise of stock options only in the periods in which such effect would have been dilutive. For the periods when a net loss is reported, the computation of diluted EPS equals the basic EPS calculation since common stock equivalents would be antidilutive due to losses from continuing operations. Holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock are entitled to receive dividends equally on a per-share basis if and when such dividends are declared. As the holders of Class A and Class B common stock are entitled to identical dividend and liquidation rights, the undistributed earnings are allocated on a proportionate basis to each class of common stock and the resulting basic and diluted net earnings (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders are, therefore, the same for both Class A and Class B common stock on both an individual and combined basis.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers highly liquid investments that mature within three months or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents, including investments in money market funds, time deposits, and short-term U.S. Treasury bills. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents either approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments or is at fair value. Checks outstanding in excess of related book balances are recorded in Accounts payable, accrued and other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company presents the change in these book cash overdrafts as cash flows from operating activities.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Restricted Cash | Restricted Cash The Company’s restricted cash includes cash deposited in escrow accounts related to general liability insurance obligations. The carrying amount of restricted cash approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Accounts Receivable | Accounts ReceivableAccounts receivable are recorded at net realizable value. The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses to reserve for potentially uncollectible receivables. The allowance for credit losses is estimated based on the Company’s consideration of credit risk and analysis of receivables aging, specific identification of certain receivables that are at risk of not being paid, past collection experience and other factors. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Investments | Investments For the Company’s equity investments with readily determinable fair values, changes in the fair value of those investments are measured quarterly and are recorded within Other expense, net in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company’s investments accounted for using the equity method of accounting are carried at cost, plus or minus the Company’s share of net earnings or losses of the investment, subject to certain other adjustments. The cost of equity method investments includes transaction costs of the acquisition. As required by GAAP, to the extent that there is a basis difference between the cost and the underlying equity in the net assets of an equity investment, the Company allocates such differences between tangible and intangible assets. The Company’s share of net earnings or losses of the investment, inclusive of amortization expense for intangible assets associated with the investment, is reflected in Other expense, net in the consolidated statements of operations. Dividends received from the investee reduce the carrying amount of the investment. Due to the timing of receiving financial information from certain of its nonconsolidated affiliates, the Company records its share of net earnings or losses of such affiliates on a three-month lag basis, with the exception of the amortization expense of intangible assets which are recorded currently. The Company reviews its equity method investments periodically to determine whether a decline in fair value below the cost basis is other-than-temporary. The primary factors the Company considers in its determination are the length of time that the fair value of the investment is below the Company’s carrying value; future prospects of the investee; and the Company’s intent and ability to hold the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. In addition, the Company considers other factors such as general market conditions, industry conditions, and analysts’ ratings. If the decline in fair value is deemed to be other-than-temporary, the cost basis of the investment is written down to fair value and the loss is realized as a component of net income. In addition to equity method investments, the Company also has other equity investments without readily determinable fair values. The Company measures equity investments without readily determinable fair values at cost, less any impairment, adjusted for observable price changes from orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer. Changes in observable price are reflected within Other expense, net in the consolidated statements of operations.

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Property and Equipment and Other Long-Lived Assets | Property and Equipment and Other Long-Lived Assets Property and equipment and other long-lived assets, including amortizable intangible assets, are stated at cost or acquisition date fair value, if acquired. Expenditures for new facilities or equipment, and expenditures that extend the useful lives of existing facilities or equipment, are capitalized and recorded at cost. The useful lives of the Company’s long-lived assets are based on estimates of the period over which the Company expects the assets to be of economic benefit to the Company. In estimating the useful lives, the Company considers factors such as, but not limited to, risk of obsolescence, anticipated use, plans of the Company, and applicable laws and permit requirements. Depreciation starts on the date when the asset is available for its intended use. Construction in progress assets are not depreciated until available for their intended use. Costs of maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. The major categories of property and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis using the estimated lives indicated below:
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Assets and Impairment of Long-Lived and Indefinite-Lived Assets | Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Assets Under the acquisition method of accounting, the Company recognizes separately from goodwill the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interests in an acquiree, generally at the acquisition date fair value. The Company measures goodwill as of the acquisition date as the excess of consideration transferred, which is also measured at fair value over the net of the acquisition date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Costs that the Company incurs to complete a business combination such as investment banking, legal, and other professional fees are not considered part of consideration and the Company charges these costs to selling, general and administrative expense as they are incurred. In addition, the Company recognizes measurement-period adjustments in the period in which the amount is determined, including the effect on earnings of any amounts the Company would have recorded in previous periods if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. Goodwill and identifiable intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives are not amortized. Impairment of Long-Lived and Indefinite-Lived AssetsIn assessing the recoverability of the Company’s long-lived and indefinite-lived assets, the Company must make estimates and assumptions regarding future cash flows and other factors to determine the fair value of the respective assets. These estimates and assumptions could have a significant impact on whether an impairment charge is recognized and the magnitude of any such charge. Fair value estimates are made based on relevant information at a specific point in time, are subjective in nature, and involve significant uncertainties and judgments. If these estimates or assumptions change materially, the Company may be required to record impairment charges related to its long-lived and/or indefinite-lived assets. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment as of August 31st and at any time upon the occurrence of certain events or changes in circumstances. The Company has the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine if an impairment is more likely than not to have occurred. If the Company can support the conclusion that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the Company would not need to perform a quantitative impairment test for that reporting unit. If the Company cannot support such a conclusion or the Company does not elect to perform the qualitative assessment, the Company would identify potential impairment by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. The Company generally determines the fair value of a reporting unit using an income approach, such as the discounted cash flow method, or other acceptable valuation techniques, including the cost approach, in instances when it does not perform the qualitative assessment of goodwill. The amount of an impairment loss is measured as the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. Identifiable indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested annually for impairment as of August 31st and at any time upon the occurrence of certain events or substantive changes in circumstances. The Company has the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine if an impairment is more likely than not to have occurred. In the qualitative assessment, the Company must evaluate the totality of qualitative factors, including any recent fair value measurements, that impact whether an indefinite-lived intangible asset other than goodwill has a carrying amount that more likely than not exceeds its fair value. The Company must proceed to conducting a quantitative analysis if the Company (i) determines that such an impairment is more likely than not to exist, or (ii) foregoes the qualitative assessment entirely. Under the quantitative assessment, the impairment test for identifiable indefinite-lived intangible assets consists of a comparison of the estimated fair value of the intangible asset with its carrying value. If the carrying value of the intangible asset exceeds its fair value, then an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The Company generally determines the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset using an income approach, such as the relief from royalty method, in instances when it does not perform the qualitative assessment of the intangible asset. For other long-lived assets, including property and equipment, right-of-use (“ROU”) lease assets and intangible assets that are amortized, the Company evaluates assets for recoverability when there is an indication of potential impairment. If the undiscounted cash flows from a group of assets being evaluated is less than the carrying value of that group of assets, the fair value of the asset group is determined and the carrying value of the asset group is written down to fair value. The Company generally determines the fair value of a finite-lived intangible asset using an income approach, such as the discounted cash flow method.

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Leases | Leases The Company’s leases primarily consist of certain venues, corporate office space, storage and, to a lesser extent, office and other equipment. The Company determines whether an arrangement contains a lease at the inception of the arrangement. If a lease is determined to exist, the lease term is assessed based on the date when the underlying asset is made available by the lessor for the Company’s use. The Company’s assessment of the lease term reflects the non-cancellable term of the lease, inclusive of any rent-free periods and/or periods covered by early-termination options which the Company is reasonably certain not to exercise, as well as periods covered by renewal options which the Company is reasonably certain to exercise. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. The Company determines lease classification as either operating or finance at lease commencement, which governs the pattern of expense recognition and the presentation reflected in the consolidated statements of operations and statements of cash flows over the lease term. For leases with a term exceeding 12 months, a lease liability is recorded in the consolidated balance sheets at lease commencement reflecting the present value of the fixed minimum payment obligations over the lease term. A corresponding ROU asset equal to the initial lease liability is also recorded, adjusted for any prepaid rent and/or initial direct costs incurred in connection with execution of the lease and reduced by any lease incentives received. In addition, the ROU asset is adjusted to reflect any above or below market lease terms under acquired lease contracts. The Company includes fixed payment obligations related to non-lease components in the measurement of ROU assets and lease liabilities, as the Company has elected to account for lease and non-lease components together as a single lease component. ROU assets associated with finance leases are presented separate from ROU assets associated with operating leases and are included within Property and equipment, net in the consolidated balance sheets. For purposes of measuring the present value of the Company’s fixed payment obligations for a given lease, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate, determined based on information available at lease commencement, as rates implicit in the underlying leasing arrangements are typically not readily determinable. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate reflects the rate it would pay to borrow on a secured basis and incorporates the term and economic environment surrounding the associated lease. For operating leases, fixed lease payments are recognized as lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For finance leases, the initial ROU asset is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the lease term, along with recognition of interest expense associated with accretion of the lease liability, which is ultimately reduced by the related fixed payments. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, any fixed lease payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and are not recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. Variable lease costs for both operating and finance leases, if any, are recognized as incurred and such costs are excluded from lease balances recorded in the consolidated balance sheets.

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Contingencies | Contingencies Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Defined Benefit Pension Plans and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans | Defined Benefit Pension Plans and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans The Company accounts for the defined benefit Pension Plans under the guidance of ASC Topic 715, Compensation — Retirement Benefits (“ASC Topic 715”). Accordingly, for the defined benefit Pension Plans liabilities, the consolidated financial statements reflected the full impact of such plans on both the consolidated statements of operations and the consolidated balance sheets and the Company recorded an asset or liability to recognize the funded status of the defined benefit Pension Plans (other than multiemployer plans), as well as a liability only for any required contributions to the defined benefit Pension Plans that were accrued and unpaid at the balance sheet date. The related pension expenses attributed to the Company were based primarily on pension-eligible compensation of active participants. Actuarial gains and losses that have not yet been recognized through the consolidated statements of operations are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income until they are amortized as a component of net periodic benefit cost through other comprehensive income. The Company has both funded and unfunded defined benefit plans, as well as a contributory other postretirement benefit plan, covering certain full-time employees and retirees. The expense recognized by the Company is determined using certain assumptions, including the expected long-term rate of return and discount rates, among others. The Company recognizes the funded status of its defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans (other than multiemployer plans) as an asset or liability in the consolidated balance sheets and recognizes changes in the funded status in the year in which the changes occur through other comprehensive income.

| Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements The fair value hierarchy is based on inputs to valuation techniques that are used to measure fair value that are either observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources while unobservable inputs reflect a reporting entity’s pricing based upon their own market assumptions. The fair value hierarchy consists of the following three levels: •Level I — Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. •Level II — Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable. •Level III — Instruments whose significant value drivers are unobservable.

| Cloud Computing Arrangement Implementation Costs | Cloud Computing Arrangement Implementation Costs The Company capitalizes certain implementation costs incurred in cloud computing arrangements ("CCAs") that are accounted for as service contracts. Eligible costs include those incurred during the application development stage, such as configuration, coding, and testing activities. Costs incurred during the preliminary project stage and the post-implementation operation stage are expensed as incurred. Capitalized CCA implementation costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the hosting arrangement, which includes the non-cancellable period plus any option periods the Company is reasonably certain to exercise. Amortization begins when the module or component of the arrangement is ready for its intended use.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Concentrations of Risk | Concentrations of Risk Financial instruments that may potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are invested in money market accounts and time deposits. The Company monitors the financial institutions and money market funds where it invests its cash and cash equivalents with diversification among counterparties to mitigate exposure to any single financial institution. The Company’s emphasis is primarily on safety of principal and liquidity, and secondarily on maximizing the yield on its investments.

| Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements | Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, as amended by ASU 2025-01, which was issued in January 2025, requiring disclosure, in the notes to financial statements, of specified information about certain costs and expenses at each interim and annual reporting period. This standard will be effective for the Company for annual periods beginning with the Company’s fiscal year ending June 30, 2028, and interim reporting periods beginning with the third quarter of the Company’s fiscal year ending June 30, 2028. Early adoption of ASU 2024-03 is permitted. This amended ASU may be applied either prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date or retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements.

The standard requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The standard is intended to benefit investors by providing more detailed income tax disclosures that would be helpful to understand an entity’s exposure to potential changes in jurisdictional tax legislation and the ensuing risks and opportunities, assess income tax information that affects cash flow forecasts and capital allocation decisions, and identify potential opportunities to increase future cash flows. This standard is effective for the Company for Fiscal Year 2026 and was adopted on a prospective basis, with the required disclosures included in Note 14. Income Taxes.
