Revenue and Related Contract Costs and Contract Liabilities | Note 2. Revenue and Related Contract Costs and Contract Liabilities Pursuit’s performance obligations are short-term in nature. They include the provision of a hotel room, an attraction admission, a chartered or ticketed bus or van ride, and/or the sale of food, beverage, or retail products. We recognize revenue when the service has been provided or the product has been delivered. When we extend credit, payment terms are generally within 30 days and contain no significant financing components. GES’ performance obligations consist of services or product(s) outlined in a contract. While we often sign multi-year contracts for recurring events, the obligations for each occurrence are well defined and conclude upon the occurrence of each event. The obligations are typically the provision of services and/or sale of a product in connection with a live event. Revenue for goods and services provided for which we do not have control of the goods or services before that good or service is transferred to a customer is recorded on a net basis to reflect only the fees received for arranging these services. We recognize revenue for services generally at the close of the live event. We recognize revenue for products either upon delivery to the customer’s location, upon delivery to an event that we are serving, or when we have the right to invoice. In circumstances where a customer cancels a contract, we generally have the right to bill the customer for costs incurred to date. Payment terms are generally within 30 - 60 days and contain no significant financing components. Contract Liabilities Pursuit and GES typically receive customer deposits prior to transferring the related product or service to the customer. We record these deposits as a contract liability, which are recognized as revenue upon satisfaction of the related contract performance obligation(s). GES also provides customer rebates and volume discounts to certain event organizers that we recognize as a reduction of revenue. We include these amounts in “Contract liabilities” and “Other deferred items and liabilities” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes to contract liabilities are as follows: (in thousands) Balance at December 31, 2021 $ 39,662 Cash additions 93,013 Revenue recognized ( 58,618 ) Foreign exchange translation adjustment ( 7,121 ) Balance at June 30, 2022 $ 66,936 Contract Costs GES capitalizes certain incremental costs incurred in obtaining and fulfilling contracts. Capitalized costs principally relate to direct costs of materials and services incurred in fulfilling services of future live events, and also include up-front incentives and commissions incurred upon contract signing. We expense costs associated with preliminary contract activities (i.e. proposal activities) as incurred. Capitalized contract costs are expensed upon the transfer of the related goods or services and are included in Costs of services or Costs of products, as applicable . We include the deferred incremental costs of obtaining and fulfilling contracts in “Current contract costs” and “Other investments and assets” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes to contract costs are as follows: (in thousands) Balance at December 31, 2021 $ 13,790 Additions 32,034 Expenses ( 20,584 ) Foreign exchange translation adjustment ( 485 ) Balance at June 30, 2022 $ 24,755 As of June 30, 2022 , capitalized contract costs consisted of $ 0.2 million to obtain contracts and $ 24.6 million to fulfill contracts. We did no t recognize an impairment loss with respect to capitalized contract costs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 or 2021. Disaggregation of Revenue The following tables disaggregate Pursuit and GES revenue by major service and product lines, timing of revenue recognition, and markets served: Pursuit During the first quarter of 2022, we reallocated certain ancillary revenue presented in Pursuit’s services revenue to better align with how we analyze revenue and depict the nature of revenue.
