The Company applies the simplified approach to recognize expected credit losses prescribed by IFRS 9, which permits the use of lifetime expected loss provision for receivables. Contract assets will be reclassified to trade receivables when the corresponding invoice is billed to the client. Contract assets have substantially the same risk characteristics as the trade receivables of the same types of contracts. Therefore, the Company concluded that the expected loss rates for trade receivables can be applied to the contract assets.

Revenue recognized for the year that was included in the contract liability at the beginning of the year was as follows:

The Company considered the past experience and the default clauses in the telecommunications service contracts and believes the commissions and equipment subsidies paid for obtaining such contracts are expected to be recoverable; therefore, such costs were capitalized. LED also believes the commissions paid for obtaining real estate sale contracts are expected to be recoverable; therefore, such costs were capitalized and classified as current by the operating cycle. Amortization expenses for the years ended December 31 2021, 2022 and 2023 were $815 million, $841 million and $856 million, respectively.

d.

As of December 31, 2023, the aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to performance obligations for non-cancellable telecommunications service contracts that are unsatisfied is $35,179 million. The Company recognizes revenue when service is provided over contract terms. The Company expects to recognize such revenue of $21,181 million, $10,812 million and $3,185 million in 2024, 2025 and 2026, respectively. The variable consideration collected from customers on nonrecurring basis resulting from exceeded usage from monthly fee and revenue recognized for contracts that the Company has a right to consideration from customers in the amount corresponding directly with the value to the customers of the Company’s performance completed to date have been excluded from the disclosure of remaining performance obligations.

As of December 31, 2023, the aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to performance obligations for non-cancellable project business contracts that are unsatisfied is $26,593 million. The Company recognizes revenues when the project business contract is completed and accepted by customers. The Company expects to recognize such revenue of $8,600 million, $7,331 million and $10,663 million in 2024, 2025 and 2026, respectively. Project business contracts whose expected duration are less than a year have been excluded from the aforementioned disclosure.
