Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements (referred to as the “Financial Statements” herein) have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information, and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2026 (our “2026 Form 10-K”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted from these Financial Statements. The Financial Statements presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, the Financial Statements reflect all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for future interim periods or for the full fiscal year. The Company’s dependence on revenues from the Knicks, and prior to the Rangers Distribution, the Rangers, generally means that it earns a disproportionate share of its revenues in the second and third quarters of the Company’s fiscal year, which is when the majority of the teams’ games are played.
Principles of Consolidation
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of MSG Knickerbockers Corp. and its subsidiaries. All significant intracompany transactions and accounts within the Financial Statements have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the 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 valuation of accounts receivable, other current assets, goodwill, intangible assets, other long-lived assets, fair value of investments, deferred tax valuation allowance, tax accruals and other liabilities. In addition, estimates are used in revenue recognition, revenue sharing expense (net of escrow), luxury tax expense, income tax expense (benefit), performance and share-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, litigation matters and other matters. Management believes its use of estimates in the 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 Company’s financial statements in future periods.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The ASU requires the disclosure of additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements. The ASU is effective for the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2028 and subsequent interim periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40) - Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. The ASU modernizes and clarifies the threshold for when an entity is required to start capitalizing software costs and is based on when (i) management has authorized and committed to funding the software project and (ii) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. The ASU is effective for the Company in the first quarter of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2029. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.
Revenue, Remaining Performance Obligation In developing the estimated revenue, the Company applies the allowable practical expedient and does not disclose information about remaining performance obligations that have original expected durations of one year or less. Additionally, the Company has elected to exclude variable consideration from its disclosure related to the remaining performance obligations under its local telecast rights arrangements with MSG Networks, league-wide national and international media contracts, and certain other arrangements with variable consideration.
Fair Value Measurement
The fair value of the Company’s investments in common stock of Xtract One and other investments held in trust is determined based on quoted market prices in active markets, which are classified within Level I of the fair value hierarchy.
Valuation of Warrants The Company’s Level III assets consist of warrants entitling the Company to acquire additional common stock of Xtract One. The Company’s warrants are included within Investments in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments are measured at each reporting date and are recorded within Miscellaneous (expense) income, net within the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of the Company’s warrants in Xtract One were determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
