Assessment, Permitting and Response Revenues—Assessment, Permitting and Response revenues are generated from multidisciplinary environmental consulting services. The majority of the contracts are fixed-price or time and material based.

Measurement and Analysis Revenues—Measurement and Analysis revenues are generated from emissions sampling, testing and reporting services, leak detection services, ambient air monitoring services and laboratory testing services. The majority of the contracts are fixed-price or time-and-materials based.

Remediation and Reuse Revenues—Remediation and Reuse revenues are generated from engineering, design, implementation and operating and maintenance (“O&M”) services primarily to treat contaminated water, remove contaminants from soil or create biogas from waste. Engineering, design and implementation contracts are predominantly fixed-fee and time-and-materials based. Services on the majority of O&M contracts are provided under long-term fixed-fee contracts.

Disaggregation of Revenue—The Company disaggregates revenue by its operating segments and geographic location. The Company believes disaggregating revenue into these categories achieves the disclosure objectives to depict how the nature, amount, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Disaggregated revenue disclosures are provided in Note 19, Segment Information and Geographic Location Information.

Contract Balances—The Company presents contract balances for unbilled receivables (contract assets), as well as customer advances, deposits and deferred revenue (contract liabilities) within contract assets and accounts payable and other accrued expenses, respectively, on the consolidated statements of financial position. Amounts are generally billed at periodic intervals (e.g. weekly, bi-weekly or monthly) as work progresses in accordance with agreed-upon contractual terms. The Company utilizes the practical expedient to not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component as the period between when the Company transfers services to a customer and when the customer pays for those services is one year or less. Amounts recorded as unbilled receivables are generally for services the Company is not entitled to bill based on the passage of time. Under certain contracts, billing occurs subsequent to revenue recognition, resulting in contract assets. The Company sometimes receives advances or deposits from customers before revenue is recognized, resulting in contract liabilities.

The following table presents the Company’s contract balances as of December 31:


	2023		2022
Contract assets	$	51,629	$	52,403
Contract liabilities (Note 10)		8,132		18,549

Contract assets acquired through business acquisitions amounted to $2.2 million and $1.7 million as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Contract liabilities acquired through business acquisitions amounted to zero as of both December 31, 2023 and 2022.

Revenue recognized during the year ended December 31, 2023, included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the year was $14.4 million. The revenue recognized from the contract liabilities consisted of the Company satisfying performance obligations during the normal course of business.

Remaining Unsatisfied Performance Obligations - Remaining unsatisfied performance obligations represent the total dollar value of work to be performed on contracts awarded and in progress. The amount of remaining unsatisfied performance obligations increases with new contracts or additions to existing contracts and decreases as revenue is recognized on existing contracts. Contracts are included in the amount of remaining unsatisfied performance obligations when an enforceable agreement has been reached. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the estimated revenue expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied was approximately $81.9 million and $100.4 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, the Company expected to recognize approximately 70.5% of this amount as revenue within a year, and the remaining 29.5% to be recognized as revenue beyond one year.
