Deferred Revenue [Abstract] |
Deferred Revenue | 7. Deferred Revenue Deferred revenue represents consideration received that is yet to be recognized as revenue. At March 3 1, 201 4, we estimate that our deferred revenue, which is primarily Listing Services and Technology Solutions revenues, will be recognized in the following years:
|  | Initial Listing Revenues |  | Listing of Additional Shares Revenues |  | Annual Renewal and Other Revenues |  | Technology Solutions Revenues(2) |  | Total
|  | (in millions)
Fiscal year ended: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
2014(1) |  | $ | 9 |  | $ | 26 |  | $ | 148 |  | $ | 65 |  | $ | 248
2015 |  |  | 11 |  |  | 25 |  |  | 2 |  |  | 38 |  |  | 76

(1) Represents deferred revenue that is anticipated to be recognized over the remaining nine months of 201 4. (2) The timing of recognition of our deferred Technology Solutions revenues is primarily dependent upon the completion of customization and any significant modifications made pursuant to existing Market Technology contracts and the timing of Corporate Solutions subscription-based contracts. As such, as it relates to Market Technology revenues, the timing represents our best estimate. The changes in our deferred revenue during the three months ended March 3 1, 201 4 and 201 3 are reflected in the following table.

(1) The additions and amortization for initial listing revenues, listing of additional shares revenues and annual renewal and other revenues primarily reflect revenues from our U.S. listing services business. The additions to Technology Solutions revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2014 include $75 million related to the Borsa Istanbul market technology agreement. See “Cost Method Investments,” of Note 6, “Investments,” for further discussion. (2) Technology Solutions deferred revenues primarily include revenues from our Market Technology delivered client contracts in the support phase charged during the period and our Corporate Solutions subscription based contracts, which are primarily billed quarterly in advance. For our Market Technology contracts, where customization and significant modifications to the software are made to meet the needs of our customers, total revenues, as well as costs incurred, are deferred until significant modifications are completed and delivered. Once delivered, deferred revenue and the related deferred costs are recognized over the post contract support period. For these Market Technology contracts, w e have included the deferral of costs in other current assets and other non-current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The amortization of Technology Solutions deferred revenue primarily includes revenues earned from Market Technology client contracts and Corporate Solutions subscription based contracts recognized during the period.
