Demand for Discovery Inc’s advertising products and services began to decline in the second quarter of 2020 as a result of economic disruptions caused by restrictions on social and business activity. During the second half of 2020, these economic upheavals and their impact on the company subsided. During the fiscal year 2021, the pandemic had no substantial influence on demand. Many of its third-party production partners that were offline for the majority of the second quarter of 2020 due to COVID-19 restrictions reopened in the third quarter of 2020, resulting in additional costs to comply with various government regulations and implement certain safety measures for its employees, talent, and partners. Furthermore, several athletic events for which it has rights, such as the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, which took place in July and August 2021, were canceled or postponed, resulting in the elimination or deferral of corresponding income and expenditures. Olympic-related income and substantial costs were postponed from the fiscal year 2020 to the fiscal year 2021 as a result of the postponing of the 2020 Olympic Games.
