__________________ (1)Media Networks domestic revenues for the year ended March 31, 2021 includes revenue of $50.3 million from the Company's former Other Streaming Services product line, related to the Company's former interest in Pantaya, which was sold on March 31, 2021 (see Note 2). Remaining Performance Obligations Remaining performance obligations represent deferred revenue on the balance sheet plus fixed fee or minimum guarantee contracts where the revenue will be recognized and the cash received in the future (i.e., backlog). Revenues expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied at March 31, 2023 are as follows:
|  | Year Ending March 31, |  |  |  |
|  | 2024 |  | 2025 |  | 2026 |  | Thereafter |  | Total
|  | (Amounts in millions)

The above table does not include estimates of variable consideration for transactions involving sales or usage-based royalties in exchange for licenses of intellectual property. The revenues included in the above table include all fixed fee contracts regardless of duration. Revenues of $156.5 million, including variable and fixed fee arrangements, were recognized during the year ended March 31, 2023 from performance obligations satisfied prior to March 31, 2022. These revenues were primarily associated with the distribution of television and theatrical product in electronic sell-through and video-on-demand formats, and to a lesser extent, the distribution of theatrical product in the domestic and international markets related to films initially released in prior periods. Accounts Receivable, Contract Assets and Deferred Revenue The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections affects the recognition of accounts receivable, contract assets and deferred revenue (see Note 1). See the consolidated balance sheets or Note 19 for accounts receivable, contract assets and deferred revenue balances at March 31, 2023 and 2022. Accounts Receivable. Accounts receivable are presented net of a provision for doubtful accounts. The Company estimates provisions for accounts receivable based on historical experience for the respective risk categories and current and future expected economic conditions. To assess collectability, the Company analyzes market trends, economic conditions, the aging of receivables and customer specific risks, and records a provision for estimated credit losses expected over the lifetime of the receivables in direct operating expense. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations and monitors its credit exposure through active review of customers' financial condition, aging of receivable balances, historical collection trends, and expectations about relevant future events that may significantly affect collectability. The Company generally does not require collateral for its trade accounts receivable. Changes in the provision for doubtful accounts consisted of the following:
| March 31, 2022 |  |  |  | (Benefit) provision for doubtful accounts(1) |  | Uncollectible accounts written-off(2) |  | March 31, 2023
| (Amounts in millions)
Trade accounts receivable | $ | 11.5 |  |  |  |  | $ | 1.1 |  |  | $ | (3.4) |  |  | $ | 9.2 |
_______________________ (1)Represents a provision for doubtful accounts offset by collections on accounts receivable previously reserved. (2)Includes $2.5 million related to accounts receivable previously reserved for bad debt from customers in Russia, related to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Contract Assets. Contract assets relate to the Company’s conditional right to consideration for completed performance under the contract (e.g., unbilled receivables). Amounts relate primarily to contractual payment holdbacks in cases in which the Company is required to deliver additional episodes or seasons of television content in order to receive payment, complete certain administrative activities, such as guild filings, or allow the Company's customers' audit rights to expire. See Note 19 for contract assets at March 31, 2023 and 2022. Deferred Revenue. Deferred revenue relates primarily to customer cash advances or deposits received prior to when the Company satisfies the corresponding performance obligation. Revenues of $164.4 million were recognized during the year ended March 31, 2023, related to the balance of deferred revenue at March 31, 2022.
