The Company may receive payments in advance of earning revenue (advances on contracts), which are included in Other current liabilities and Other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company may recognize revenue in advance of being able to contractually invoice the customer (contract assets), which is included in Other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Contract assets are transferred to Trade accounts receivable, net, when the right to payment becomes unconditional. Contract assets and advances on contracts are reported as a net position, on a contract-by-contract basis, at the end of each reporting period.

The Company had contract assets totaling $5.3 million at December 31, 2022 and $3.1 million at December 31, 2021. The increase is due principally to additional contract assets recognized in excess of the transfer of contract assets to accounts receivable. The Company had advances on contracts totaling $6.8 million at December 31, 2022 and $4.1 million at December 31, 2021. The increase is due principally to receipts of new advances on contracts in excess of the recognition of revenue on previously received advances on contracts during the period. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recognized approximately $18 million of revenue related to amounts previously included in advances on contracts.
At December 31, 2022, the Harsco Environmental Segment had remaining, fixed, unsatisfied performance obligations, where the expected contract duration exceeds one year totaling $75.7 million. Of this amount, $21.1 million is expected to be fulfilled by December 31, 2023, $20.9 million by December 31, 2024, $18.3 million by December 31, 2025, $7.2 million by December 31, 2026 and the remainder thereafter. These amounts exclude any variable fees, fixed fees subject to indexation and any performance obligations expected to be satisfied within one year.
