Table of Contents <br />AMERESCO, INC. <br />NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS <br />(In thousands, except per share amounts) <br />Contract Balances <br />The following table provides information about receivables, contract assets, and contract liabilities from contracts with customers: <br />Accounts receivable, net <br />Accounts receivable retainage <br />Contract Assets <br />Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings <br />Contract Liabilities <br />Billings in excess of cost and estimated earnings <br />December 31, 2023 <br />December 31, 2022 <br />153,362 $ 174,009 <br />33,826 38,057 <br />636,163 576,363 <br />52,903 34,796 <br />Billings in excess of cost and estimated earnings, non -current(') <br />18,393 7,617 <br />Total contract liabilities $ 71,296 $ 42,413 <br />(1) Performance obligations that are expected to be completed beyond the next twelve months and are included in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. <br />The increase in contract assets for the year ended December 31, 2023 was primarily due to revenue recognized of 940,317, offset in part by billings of $886,788. Contract <br />assets also increased due to reclassifications, primarily from contract liabilities as a result of timing of customer payments. The increase in contract liabilities was primarily <br />driven by the receipt of advance payments from customers, and related billings, as well as reclassifications from contract assets as a result of timing of customer payments. The <br />advance payments and reclassifications exceeded the recognition of revenue as performance obligations were satisfied. For the year ended December 31, 2023, we recognized <br />revenue of $160,713 and billed $184,174 to customers that had balances which were included in contract liabilities at December 31, 2022. <br />The increase in contract assets for the year ended December 31, 2022 was primarily due to revenue recognized of 3,371,455, offset in part by billings of $1,103,926. Contract <br />assets also increased due to reclassifications, primarily from contract liabilities as a result of timing of customer payments. The increase in contract liabilities was primarily <br />driven by the receipt of advance payments from customers, and related billings, as well as reclassifications from contract assets as a result of timing of customer payments. The <br />advance payments and reclassifications exceeded the recognition of revenue as performance obligations were satisfied. For the year ended December 31, 2022, we recognized <br />revenue of $135,506, and billed $129,749 to customers that had balances which were included in contract liabilities at December 31, 2021. <br />Performance Obligations <br />Our remaining performance obligations ("fully -contracted backlog") represent the unrecognized revenue value of our contract commitments. Our backlog may vary significantly <br />each reporting period based on the timing of major new contract commitments and the fully -contracted backlog may fluctuate with currency movements. In addition, our <br />customers have the right, under some circumstances, to terminate contracts or defer the timing of our services and their payments to us. At December 31, 2023, we had fully - <br />contracted backlog of $2,545,403 and approximately 32% of our fully -contracted backlog is anticipated to be recognized as revenue in the nexttwelve months. The remaining <br />performance obligations primarily relate to the energy efficiency and renewable energy construction projects, including long-term O&M services related to these projects. The <br />long-term services have varying initial contract terms, up to 25 years. <br />We applied the practical expedient for certain revenue streams to exclude the value of remaining performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected term of one <br />year or less or (ii) contracts for which we recognize revenue in proportion to the amount we have the right to invoice for services performed. <br />Contract Acquisition Costs <br />As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, we had capitalized commission costs of $1,735, related to contracts that were not completed, which were included in other assets in the <br />accompanying consolidated balance sheets. For contracts that have a duration of less than one year, we follow a practical expedient and expense these costs when incurred. <br />During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the amortization of commission costs related to contracts was not material and have been included in the accompanying <br />consolidated statements of income. <br />68 <br />
