CONTRACT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES CONTRACT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
Under our customized pump production and water and wastewater project contracts, amounts are billed as work progresses in accordance with agreed-upon contractual terms, upon various measures of performance, including achievement of certain milestones, completion of specified units, or completion of a contract. Generally, billing occurs subsequent to revenue recognition, resulting in contract assets presented as "Costs and estimated profits in excess of billings". However, we sometimes receive advances or deposits from our customers before revenue is recognized, resulting in contract liabilities that are presented as “Billings in excess of costs and estimated profits” on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Costs and estimated profits on uncompleted contracts and related amounts billed were as follows (in thousands):

 September 30, 2023December 31, 2022
Costs incurred on uncompleted contracts$96,903 $70,329 
Estimated profits, thereon34,852 23,274

Net$40,038 $13,182 

Such amounts were included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets for September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 under the following captions (in thousands):

Net$40,038 $13,182 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, $10.0 million of the balances that were previously classified as contract liabilities at the beginning of the period were recognized in revenues. Contract asset and liability changes were primarily due to normal activity and timing differences between our performance and customer payments.
