Contract costs
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not incur any incremental costs to obtain and/or fulfill contracts with customers.
Contract Liabilities
Contract liabilities are classified as deferred revenue in the consolidated balance sheets. The activity in deferred revenue for the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, was as follows:
| December 31, 2025 | | December 31, 2024 | |||
Beginning of the period contract liability | $ | 1,143 | $ | 861 | ||
Revenue recognized from the contract liabilities included in the beginning balance | (709) | (461) | ||||
Increases due cash received net of amounts recognized revenue during the period | 692 | 743 | ||||
End of period contract liability | $ | 1,126 | $ | 1,143 | ||
Of the $1,143 outstanding as of December 31, 2024, $709 has been recognized as revenue during the year ended December 31, 2025.
The Company has elected not to include in unfulfilled performance obligations for contracts in which the amount of revenue it recognizes is equal to the amount which the Company has a right to invoice. No revenue was recognized in the reporting period from performance obligations satisfied in previous periods. The Company applies the right-to-invoice practical expedient for its Priority Pass revenue stream and recognizes revenue in the amount it is entitled to invoice when that amount corresponds directly with the value of the performance to date. For the Company’s XpresTest business unit, the Company’s efforts toward satisfying each of the performance obligations are typically expended evenly throughout the period of performance. However, for the year ended December 31, 2025, portions of certain performance obligations relate to services not yet performed and are therefore recognized as deferred revenue in the amount of $289. This amount is presented within deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheets. Naples Wax Center offers prepaid wax packages that are either unlimited for one year or a set number of services. When the packages are purchased, the sales are recorded
as deferred revenue, which was $837 and $956 as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. As services related to prepaid packages are used, revenue is recognized as income.

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.
