Revenue from Contracts with Customers | 5. Revenue from Contracts with Customers ​ Disaggregation of Sales ​ The company disaggregates net sales by reportable segments as disclosed in Note 3, and based on the timing of transfer of control for goods and services as explained below. The transfer of control for goods and services may occur at a point in time or over time. As disclosed in Note 3, the company’s business consists of four reportable segments, which encompass disaggregated product lines and geographical areas: (1) beverage packaging, North and Central America; (2) beverage packaging, EMEA; (3) beverage packaging, South America; and (4) aerospace. ​ The following table disaggregates the company’s net sales based on the timing of transfer of control: ​

​ | ​ | Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 | ​ | Three Months Ended March 31, 2019

​ Contract Balances ​ The company enters into contracts to sell beverage packaging, aerosol packaging, and aerospace products and services. The company did not have any contract assets at either March 31, 2020, or December 31, 2019. Unbilled receivables, which are not classified as contract assets, represent arrangements in which sales have been recorded prior to billing and right to payment is unconditional. ​ The opening and closing balances of the company’s current and noncurrent contract liabilities are as follows: ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | Contract | ​ | Contract
​ | ​ | Liabilities | ​ | Liabilities
($ in millions) |  | (Current) | ​ | (Noncurrent)
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
Balance at December 31, 2019 | ​ | ​ | 87 | ​ | ​ | 9
Increase (decrease) | ​ | ​ | 1 | ​ | ​ | (1)
Balance at March 31, 2020 | ​ | $ | 88 | ​ | $ | 8
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ During the three months ended March 31, 2020, total contract liabilities remained flat, which is net of cash received of $121 million and amounts recognized as sales of $121 million, all of which related to current contract liabilities. The amount of sales recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2020, which were included in the opening contract liabilities balances, was $87 million, all of which related to current contract liabilities. Current contract liabilities are classified within other current liabilities on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet and noncurrent contract liabilities are classified within other liabilities. ​ The company also recognized sales of $9 million and $6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, from performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in prior periods. These sales amounts are the result of changes in the transaction price of the company’s contracts with customers. ​ Transaction Price Allocated to Remaining Performance Obligations ​ In the context of the revenue recognition standard, enforceable contracts are those that have an enforceable right to payment, which Ball typically has once a binding forecast or purchase order (or similar contract) is in place and Ball produces under the contract. Within Ball’s packaging segments, enforceable contracts as defined all have a duration of less than one year. Contracts that have an original duration of less than one year are excluded from the requirement to disclose remaining performance obligations based on the company’s election to use the practical expedient. ​ The table below discloses: (1) the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) as of the end of the reporting period for contracts with an original duration of greater than one year, and (2) when the company expects to record sales on these multi-year contracts. ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
($ in millions) |  | Next Twelve Months | ​ | Thereafter | ​ | Total
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
Sales expected to be recognized on multi-year contracts in place as of March 31, 2020 | ​ | $ | 1,371 | ​ | $ | 909 | ​ | $ | 2,280
​ The contracts with an original duration of less than one year, which are excluded from the table above based on the company’s election of the practical expedient, are primarily related to contracts where control will be fully transferred to the customers in less than one year. ​
