Recognition principles: Revenue is recognized when a performance obligation is satisfied by the transfer of control of the contracted goods or services to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services.
Arrangements with multiple performance obligations: We have various advertising and subscription agreements which include both print and digital performance obligations. Revenue from sales agreements that contain multiple performance obligations are allocated to each obligation based on the
relative standalone selling price. We determine standalone selling prices based on observable prices charged to customers.
Contract Assets and Liabilities: The Company’s primary source of contract liabilities is unearned revenue from subscriptions paid in advance of the service provided. The Company expects to recognize the revenue related to unsatisfied performance obligations over the next twelve months in accordance with the terms of the subscriptions and other contracts with customers. Revenue recognized in the three months ended December 25, 2022, that was included in the contract liability as of September 25, 2022, was $32.2 million.
Accounts receivable, excluding allowance for credit losses was $80.8 million and $74.8 million as of December 25, 2022, and September 25, 2022, respectively. Allowance for credit losses was $5.4 million and $5.2 million as of December 25, 2022, and September 25, 2022, respectively.
Sales commissions are expensed as incurred as the associated contractual periods are one year or less. These costs are recorded within compensation. Most of our contracts have original expected lengths of one year or less and revenue is earned at a rate and amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer.
