PureCycle Technologies, Inc. Revenue Disclosure
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s revenue is primarily generated from the sale of recycled and compounded polypropylene resin pellets or co-products to customers. Those sales predominantly contain a single performance obligation and revenue is recognized at the point in time when control of the product is transferred to customers, along with the title, risk of loss and rewards of ownership. Depending on the arrangement with the customer, these criteria are met either at the time the product is shipped or when the product is made available or delivered to the destination specified in the agreement with the customer. Sales revenue is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for that finished product. Amounts billed to customers related to freight are included in revenues and freight costs are included in cost of operations in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. Standard payment terms are 30 days from the date of shipment, unless otherwise negotiated with the customer.
The Company records trade receivables at the amount billed to customers, net of any allowance for expected credit losses. Based on the Company's evaluation of potential credit losses, no allowance for expected credit losses were recorded as of December 31, 2025.
Two customers generated 68% of the Company's revenues during the year ended December 31, 2025, and comprised 81% of the Company's accounts receivable as of December 31, 2025.
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.
