Credit Loss [Abstract]

Credit Losses

Credit Losses

We are exposed to credit losses primarily through our accounts receivable from revenue transactions, investments held at amortized cost and customer advances for regulatory capital and other notes receivable. We estimate expected credit losses based on past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Expected credit losses are measured over the remaining contractual life of these assets. As part of our consideration of current and forward-looking economic conditions, we considered the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and current inflationary pressures on our customers’ and other third parties’ ability to pay. We did not observe notable increases in delinquencies during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. Given the nature of our business, our past collection experience during recessionary and pre-recessionary periods and our forecasted impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, we did not record material changes in our allowances due to the COVID-19 pandemic during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

Accounts Receivable from Revenue Transactions

Accounts receivable represent the amounts owed to the Company for goods or services provided to customers or third parties. Current accounts receivables are classified within accounts receivable, net on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, while non-current accounts receivables are classified within prepaid expenses and other noncurrent assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

We monitor our ongoing credit exposure through active review of counterparty balances against contract terms, due dates and business strategy. Our activities include timely account reconciliation, dispute resolution and payment confirmation. We may employ legal counsel to pursue recovery of defaulted receivables. In addition, the Company will establish a general reserve based on delinquency rates. Historical loss rates are determined for each delinquency bucket in 30-day past-due intervals and then applied to the composition of the reporting date balance based on delinquency. The allowance implied from application of the historical loss rates is then adjusted, as necessary, for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts.

Based on an aging analysis of our trade accounts receivable, non-trade accounts receivable and contract assets as of June 30, 2022, 90% were current, 6% were past due less than 60 days, with 8% past due less than 120 days and at December 31, 2021, 90% was current, 2% was past due less than 60 days, with 3% past due less than 120 days. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, in total we reported on the consolidated balance sheet $127.7 million and $171.5 million of accounts receivable, certain non-trade accounts receivable included in prepaid expenses and other assets, net of allowances of $3.1 million and $3.4 million, respectively. The following table summarizes the changes in allowance for credit losses on our accounts receivables, certain non-trade accounts receivable and contract assets (in thousands):
