The Company did not have any customers with revenues greater than 10% of total revenue for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, or 2023.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

Contract assets include unbilled amounts when revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer under contracts where revenue is recognized over-time. There were no impairment losses recorded on contract assets for the years ending December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.

Contract liabilities consist of advance payments, billings in excess of revenue recognized and deferred revenue.

The changes in the carrying amount of contract assets and contract liabilities are as follows (in millions):

Royalty Revenue

The Company recognizes royalty revenue due under various licenses for the Company’s intellectual property, including for technology related to drill bits. The Company recognized revenue for drill bit licenses of approximately $57 million, $67 million, and $78 million for years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. As previously disclosed, the Company is currently pursuing litigation against certain non-paying licensees, which will impact our ability to collect the receivables timely. Effective October 1, 2025, we stopped recording royalty revenue due to increasing difficulty to reasonably estimate the amount of revenue given the length of time since the licensee’s last royalty payment, however, the Company believes it is entitled to royalty payments beyond the third quarter of 2025. As of December 31, 2025, royalty receivables of $133 million, net of related reserves of $78 million and the remaining timing related discount of $47 million, are included in “Other assets” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s revenue recognition in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, including the reserves and discounts discussed above, do not impact the amount the Company is entitled to recover on its claims from the licensees in litigation. While we continue to believe it is probable the Company will collect all or substantially all of the consideration to which it is entitled pursuant to the terms of the licensing agreements, the Company will also continue to evaluate the collectability of the receivables in accordance with the policy described in Note 2. See Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for discussion of the ongoing litigation.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The Company estimates its allowance for credit losses using information about past events, current conditions and risk characteristics of each customer, and reasonable and supportable forecasts relevant to assessing risk associated with the collectability of receivables and contract assets. See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for discussion of credit risk. As of December 31, 2025, the allowance for credit losses totaled $64 million.

The changes in the carrying amount of the allowance for credit losses are as follows (in millions):
