3. REVENUE
The Company’s disaggregated revenue is represented by the two reportable segments discussed in Note 17.
The contract balances include the following (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| | As of December 31, |
| | 2025 | | 2024 |
| Accounts receivable, net | $ | 879,871 | | | $ | 812,510 | |
| Contract assets (included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets) | 995 | | | 1,687 | |
| Deferred revenue: | | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| Deferred revenue, current portion | $ | 120,912 | | | $ | 105,718 | |
| | | |
| | | |
| Deferred revenue, non-current portion | 28,848 | | | 25,050 | |
| Total deferred revenue | $ | 149,760 | | | $ | 130,768 | |
The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. Contract assets are created when invoicing occurs subsequent to revenue recognition. Contract assets are transferred to accounts receivable when the right to invoice becomes unconditional. The Company’s contract assets are current in nature and are included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets. Contract assets decreased by $0.7 million and $16.3 million during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, due to the timing of billing to customers.
Deferred revenue reflects consideration invoiced prior to the completion of performance obligations and revenue recognition. Deferred revenue increased by $19.0 million and $4.0 million during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, primarily due to timing of fulfillment of performance obligations related to advertising arrangements, growth in Premium Subscriptions, and a business combination. See Note 4 for additional details.
Revenue recognized during the year ended December 31, 2025 from amounts included in total deferred revenue as of December 31, 2024 was $87.2 million. Revenue recognized during the year ended December 31, 2024 from amounts included in total deferred revenue as of December 31, 2023 was $102.2 million.
Revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations represents estimated contracted revenue that has not yet been recognized which includes unearned revenue and amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods. Remaining performance obligations exclude contracts with original expected terms of one year or less. Estimated contracted revenue for these remaining performance obligations was $978.3 million as of December 31, 2025, of which the Company expects to recognize approximately 54% over the next 12 months and the remainder thereafter.
Revenue recognized from performance obligations that were satisfied in previous periods due to changes in the estimated transaction price of the Company’s revenue contracts was not significant during the year ended December 31, 2025. The Company recognized $18.2 million of revenue during the year ended December 31, 2024 from performance obligations that were satisfied in previous periods due to changes in the estimated transaction price of the Company’s revenue contracts.
Customer J accounted for 11% and 10% of total net revenue for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Customer I accounted for 11% of total net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023.
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.
