The Company recognizes revenues from contracts with customers when the performance obligation is satisfied, which is when the promised services are transferred to the customer. A service is considered to be transferred when the customer obtains control, which is represented by the transfer of rights with regard to the service. Transfer of control happens either over time or at a point in time. When a performance obligation is satisfied over time, an entity is required to select a single method of measuring progress for each performance obligation that depicts the entity’s performance in transferring control of services to the customer.
There are no contract assets or liabilities that arise in connection with the recognition of operating revenues. In addition, there are no costs incurred to obtain or fulfill the contracts with customers. See Note 17 for additional information regarding related party transactions.
Advisory Fees
A significant portion of the Company’s revenues from contracts with customers is derived primarily from investment advisory agreements with related parties (Note 17). These advisory fees are recognized over time, are earned from the Company’s ETPs and are calculated based on a percentage of the ETPs’ average daily net assets. There is no significant judgment in calculating amounts due which are invoiced monthly in arrears and are not subject to any potential reversal. Progress is measured using the practical expedient under the output method resulting in the recognition of revenue in the amount for which the Company has a right to invoice.
Management Fees
Management fees are earned in exchange for Ceres providing investment advisory and other management services to Ceres Farms. Management fees are generally calculated as a stated percentage of members’ capital account balances as of the last day of each calendar quarter, subject to adjustment for any contractual waivers as well as contributions and redemptions arising in any particular quarter. Management fees are recognized as revenue over time, as the performance obligation is satisfied.
Performance Fees
Performance fees represent variable consideration and are earned based on a specified percentage of Ceres Farms’ net profits, subject to contractual fee waivers, high-water marks and loss recovery requirements. Performance fees are earned only after members have recovered prior losses and applicable thresholds have been met. Performance fee revenues are recognized when it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenues recognized will not occur, which generally occurs upon the determination of fund profits that are no longer subject to claw back or reversal under the governing agreements.
Other Revenues
Other revenues include revenues the Company earns from swap providers associated with certain of the Company’s European listed ETPs, the nature of which are based on a percentage of the ETPs’ average daily net assets. The Company also earns transaction-based income on flows associated with certain European listed ETPs. There is no significant judgment in calculating amounts due, which are invoiced monthly or quarterly in arrears and are not subject to any potential reversal. Progress is measured using the practical expedient under the output method resulting in the recognition of revenue in the amount for which the Company has a right to invoice.

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.
