Revenue Recognition

Revenues are recognized when control of the goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The majority of our revenues are recognized over time, with certain revenues being recognized at a point in time.

We have changed our revenue disaggregation to Subscription Services and Skills and Other to better reflect the nature and timing of revenue and cash flows. Subscription Services includes revenues from our Chegg Study Pack, Chegg Study, Chegg Writing, Chegg Math, and Busuu offerings. Skills and Other includes revenues from our Skills, advertising services, print textbooks and eTextbooks offerings. We no longer present our Required Materials product line separately as we no longer recognize significant revenue from our print textbook and eTextbooks offerings.

The following tables set forth our total net revenues for the periods shown disaggregated for our Subscription Services and Skills and Other product lines (in thousands, except percentages):

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, our deferred revenue balance increased by $2.6 million, or 5%, primarily due to timing of bookings and seasonality of our business.
