Note 10. Revenue from Contracts with Customers

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Revenue is recognized when control of promised services is transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those services.

 

The Company provides digital advertising and marketing services, including weekly audio, video, and social media placements. These services represent a single performance obligation satisfied over time, as customers simultaneously receive and consume the benefits of the services as they are delivered. The Company uses a time-elapsed (straight-line) measure of progress for arrangements in which services are provided evenly throughout the contract term.

 

Customer payments are typically due upfront or within 30 days of service commencement. Consideration is generally fixed, and the Company does not have material variable consideration, noncash consideration, or significant financing components.

 

Significant Judgments

 

Significant judgments affecting the amount and timing of revenue recognition include:

 

Identification of performance obligations: Digital advertising services are determined to be a single performance obligation under the series guidance in ASC 606-10-25-14(b).
Measure of progress: Straight-line recognition is applied because services are delivered evenly over the contract period.
Assessment of collectability: The Company evaluates customer creditworthiness at contract inception and throughout the arrangement.

 

Costs to Obtain or Fulfill a Contract

 

The Company does not incur incremental costs to obtain contracts (such as sales commissions). Costs to fulfill a contract are not capitalized because such costs are either immaterial or do not meet the criteria under ASC 340-40.

 

 

Remaining Performance Obligations

 

As of December 31, 2025 , the Company’s remaining performance obligations under non-cancelable contracts were $1,000, all of which are expected to be recognized as revenue within the next 6 months. The Company applies the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-50-14(a) for contracts with an original duration of one year or less.

 

About Revenue Disclosures

Revenue disclosures under ASC 606 explain how a company identifies performance obligations, allocates transaction prices, and determines when revenue is recognized. This section is essential for understanding whether reported revenue reflects genuine economic activity or aggressive accounting choices. Analysts examine the mix of point-in-time versus over-time recognition, which directly affects revenue timing and comparability.

Key signals: rising contract liabilities (deferred revenue) suggest strong future revenue visibility, while declining contract assets may indicate slowing project milestones. Watch for variable consideration estimates — rebates, returns, and performance bonuses that require management judgment. Significant changes in disaggregated revenue by geography or product line can reveal shifting business mix before it appears in headline numbers. Compare revenue growth against contract liability growth to assess sustainability, and scrutinize any changes in the timing of recognition that coincide with earnings pressure.
