REVENUE RECOGNITION

9 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2021

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]

The Company’s revenue recognition accounting policies are described in the notes to consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable, net is stated net of the allowance for doubtful accounts and customer deductions totaling $50 million and $63 million as of March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2020, respectively. During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company adopted ASC 326 using the modified retrospective transition approach and, accordingly, the prior comparative period was not restated. Under this new standard, the Company is required to measure credit losses based on the Company’s estimate of expected losses rather than incurred losses, which generally results in earlier recognition of allowances for credit losses. In accordance with ASC 326, the Company evaluated certain criteria, including aging and historical write-offs, current economic condition of specific customers and future economic conditions of countries utilizing a consumption index to determine the appropriate allowance for credit losses. The Company writes-off receivables once it is determined that the receivables are no longer collectible and as allowed by local laws. Payment terms are short-term in nature and are generally less than one year.

Changes in the allowance for credit losses are as follows:


(In millions)
Balance at June 30, 2020	$	36
ASC 326 cumulative effect adjustment (pre-tax)	4
Adjustment for expected credit losses	(5)
Write-offs, net & other	(10)
Balance at March 31, 2021	$	25

As a result of the adoption of ASC 326, the Company recorded a cumulative adjustment of approximately $3 million, net of tax, as a reduction to its fiscal 2021 opening balance of retained earnings relating to its trade receivables.

The remaining balance of the allowance for doubtful accounts of $25 million, as of March 31, 2021, relates to non-credit losses, which are primarily due to customer deductions.

Deferred Revenue

Changes in deferred revenue during the period are as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31				Nine Months Ended March 31
