The geographic regions of Europe, the Middle East and Africa comprises the EMEA segment. Contract Assets and Liabilities Contract assets consist of the amount of revenue recognized over time for performance obligations in production where control has transferred to the customer but the contract does not yet allow for the customer to be billed. Typically, customers are billed when the product finishes production and meets the technical specifications contained in the contract. The majority of the contract asset balance relates to materials procured based on customer specifications. The contract assets are recorded as current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Contract liabilities consist of advance payments in excess of revenue earned. These amounts primarily represent progress payments received as precision molding and assembly systems are being manufactured. The contract liabilities are recorded as current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and are reduced as we record revenue over time. These contract assets and liabilities are reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheets net on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. Contract assets and contract liabilities consisted of the following: September 30, December 31, 2021 2020 $ Change (in thousands) Gross contract assets $ 253,878 $ 223,428 $ 30,450 Less: reclassification from contract liabilities ( 9,104 ) ( 6,500 ) ( 2,604 ) Contract assets $ 244,774 $ 216,928 $ 27,846 September 30, December 31, 2021 2020 $ Change (in thousands) Gross contract liabilities $ 9,104 $ 7,114 $ 1,990 Less: reclassification to contract assets ( 9,104 ) ( 6,500 ) ( 2,604 ) Contract liabilities $ — $ 614 $ ( 614 ) Contract assets increased by $ 27.8 million from December 31, 2020 to September 30, 2021 due to an increase in customer specific material purchases and incremental unbilled production during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Contracts liabilities decreased by $ 0.6 million from December 31, 2020 to September 30, 2021 primarily due to the revenue earned related to precision molding and assembly systems and wind blades being produced exceeding the amounts billed to customers during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 , we recognized $ 0.5 million and $ 0.6 million, respectively, of revenue related to precision molding and assembly systems and wind blades, which was included in the corresponding contract liability balance at the beginning of the period. Performance Obligations Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price for which work has not been performed and excludes any unexercised contract options. The transaction price includes estimated variable consideration as determined based on the estimated production output within the range of the contractual guaranteed minimum volume obligations and production capacity. As of September 30, 2021, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations to be satisfied in future periods was approximately $ 3.1 billion. We estimate that we will recognize the remaining performance obligations as revenue as follows: $ % of Total (in thousands) Year Ending December 31, Remainder of 2021 $ 418,708 13.4 % 2022 1,632,634 52.1 2023 898,126 28.6 2024 186,034 5.9 Total remaining performance obligations $ 3,135,502 100.0 % For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 , net revenue recognized from our performance obligations satisfied in previous periods decreased by $ 7.3 million and $ 19.8 million, respectively, as compared to increases of $ 14.8 million and $ 15.4 million, respectively, in the same periods in 2020. The current year decreases primarily relates to changes in certain of our estimated total contract values and related direct costs to complete the performance obligations. |
