(1) Client contract incentives consist principally of incentives provided to new or existing clients to convert their customer accounts to, or retain their customer’s account on, our outsourced solutions and are amortized ratably over the contract period to include renewal periods if applicable, which as of June 30, 2018, have termination dates that range from 2019 to 2025.  The amortization of client contract incentives is reflected as a reduction in cloud and related solutions revenue in our Income Statement.

(2) Capitalized costs are related to client conversion/set-up activities and direct material costs to fulfill long-term cloud-based or managed services arrangements. These costs are amortized over the contract period based on the transfer of goods or services to which the assets relate, which as of June 30, 2018 range from 2019 to 2023, and are included in cost of cloud and related solutions in our Income Statement.

(3) Capitalized commission fees are incremental commissions paid as a result of obtaining a customer contract. These fees are amortized over the contract period based on the transfer of goods or services to which the assets relate, which as of June 30, 2018, range from 2019 to 2021, and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses on our Income Statement. Incremental commission fees incurred as a result of obtaining a customer contract are expensed when incurred if the amortization period of the asset that we otherwise would have recognized is one year or less (a practical expedient allowed under ASC 606). These costs were not significant in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2018 and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.
