Revenue Recognition and Sales Commissions

3. REVENUE RECOGNITION AND SALES COMMISSIONS

Revenue Recognition

Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring those goods or services.

Revenue is recognized based on the following five step model:

 

Identification of the contract with a customer

 

Identification of the performance obligations in the contract

 

Determination of the transaction price

 

Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

 

Recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation

The following table represents revenues disaggregated by revenue source for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands). Sales taxes are excluded from revenues.

For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized $288,000 and $2,000, respectively, in impairment losses on receivables and contract assets arising from the Company’s contracts with customers.

Deferred revenue represents contract liabilities that are recorded when cash payments are received or are due in advance of our satisfaction of performance obligations. During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, we recognized revenues of approximately $31.6 million and $31.2 million, respectively, from amounts included in deferred revenue at the beginning of the respective periods. As of March 31, 2020, approximately $402 million of revenue is expected to be recognized from remaining performance obligations under contracts with customers. We expect to recognize revenue related to approximately 47% of these remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months, with the remaining amounts recognized thereafter.

Sales Commissions

Sales commissions earned by our sales force are considered incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a contract with a customer. The sales commission plan for 2020 typically includes two payments; the initial payment is due in the period a customer contract is obtained and the final payment is due 60 days after product implementation is completed. The sales commission plan for 2019 typically included an initial payment in the period a customer contract was obtained and subsequent payments either 15 or 27 months after the initial payment depending on the contract term. Under ASC 606, costs to acquire contracts with customers, such as the initial sales commission payment, are capitalized in the period a customer contract is obtained and are amortized consistent with the transfer of the goods or services to the customer over the expected period of benefit, whereas subsequent sales commission payments which require a substantive performance condition of the employee are expensed ratably through the payment date. Under the 2020 plan, both the initial payment and subsequent payment are capitalized in the period the contract is obtained, whereas under the 2019 plan, only the initial payment was capitalized, and the subsequent payment was expensed ratably through the payment date. The primary change from an accounting perspective under the 2020 plan compared to the 2019 plan is the time between when the contract is obtained and when it is implemented does not result in a substantive performance condition of the employee. The capitalized contract cost is included in Deferred commissions in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The expected period of benefit is the contract term, except when the capitalized commission is expected to provide economic benefit to the Company for a period longer than the contract term, such as for new customer or incremental sales where renewals are expected and renewal commissions are not commensurate with initial commissions. Non-commensurate commissions are amortized over the greater of the contract term or technological obsolescence period of approximately three years. The Company recorded amortization of deferred commissions of approximately $2.2 million and $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, which is included in sales and marketing expenses in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
