As previously discussed in MD&A, our operating results are affected by Canadian and global economic conditions and are subject to seasonal fluctuations that can significantly affect our quarterly operating results. Over the past quarter, the macroeconomic environment has become increasingly uncertain, characterized by heightened risks of recession, persistently high inflation, and persistent supply chain constraints. These factors have resulted in a recent contraction in advertising demand and spending across the North American media industry.
Also, as explained in our previous MD&A, the disruption caused by previously imposed public health restrictions, public opinion about the pandemic and the continued rate of COVID-19 infection has adversely affected our operations and financial performance. may affect The Company continued to be impacted by the pandemic-related conditions of the previous quarter, primarily due to consumer behavior patterns and supply chain disruptions affecting both product and service advertising categories.
In the short term, we expect the complex macroeconomic environment and ongoing pandemic-related impacts to continue to weigh on advertising revenue. Combined with the general advertising spend and seasonal revenue cycles discussed in previous MD&A, the company now expects TV advertising revenues to soften significantly year-over-year. Corus believes it remains well positioned to create value over the long term as it continues to invest in its business to advance its strategic plans and priorities.
