ZeroStack Corp. Revenue Disclosure
Revenue recognition
The Group primarily generates revenue as a global distributor of pharmaceuticals. See disaggregation of the Group's revenue by operating segments and sales by country in Note 25.
The Company uses the following five-step contract-based analysis of transactions to determine if, when and how much revenue can be recognized:
|
1. |
identify the contract with a customer; |
|
2. |
identify the performance obligations in the contract; |
|
3. |
determine the transaction price; |
|
4. |
allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and |
|
5. |
recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies the performance obligations. |
Revenue is recognized at the transaction price, which is the amount of consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods to a customer. Gross revenue excludes duties and taxes collected on behalf of third parties. Revenue is presented net of expected price discounts, sales returns, sales taxes, customer rebates and other incentives.
The Group's contracts with customers for the sales of products consist of one performance obligation. Revenue from product sales is recognized at the point in time when control is transferred to the customer, which is on shipment or delivery, depending on the contract terms. The Group's payment terms generally range from 0 to 30 days from the transfer of control, and sometimes up to two months.
The Company elected as a permitted practical expedient to not adjust the customer contract consideration for significant financing components when the period between the transfer of the Group's goods and services and customer payment is one year or less.
The Company elected as a permitted practical expedient to expense, as incurred, the costs of obtaining a customer contract such as sales commissions and other selling transaction costs when the amortization period of the assets otherwise would be one year or less. Accordingly, the Group has no assets recorded for costs to obtain a customer contract as at December 31, 2025 and 2024 as there are no contracts where the underlying asset would have a life exceeding one year.
The Company elected as a permitted practical expedient for shipping and handling not to be a separate performance obligation.
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.
