Vivakor, Inc. Revenue Disclosure
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive.
The Company generates revenue from three reportable segments: (i) Transportation and Logistics, (ii) Terminaling and Storage, and (iii) Supply and Trading. Revenue from the sale of crude oil and related petroleum products (Supply and Trading) is recognized at a point in time when control transfers to the customer, which generally occurs upon delivery and when pricing and quantity are fixed. Revenue from terminaling, storage, and transportation services is recognized over time as the services are performed, as customers simultaneously receive and consume the benefits of the services. See Note 16 for a breakdown of revenue recognized over time (Transportation and Logistics and Terminaling and Storage) and revenue recognized at a point in time (Supply and Trading).
The Company’s contracts generally do not include significant financing components, and payment terms are typically less than three months. The Company does not accept returns due to the nature of its products.
The Company reviews contracts to ensure revenue is recognized in the appropriate period based on contractual terms, delivery conditions, and applicable legal requirements.

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.
