Revenues recognized in the current and prior-year periods from performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in previous reporting periods primarily relate to revenues earned on content made available to distributors and licensees in previous reporting periods. For the quarter ended June 28, 2025, $0.3 billion was recognized related to performance obligations satisfied as of March 29, 2025. For the nine months ended June 28, 2025, $0.8 billion was recognized related to performance obligations satisfied as of September 28, 2024. For the quarter ended June 29, 2024, $0.3 billion was recognized related to performance obligations satisfied as of March 30, 2024. For the nine months ended June 29, 2024, $0.8 billion was recognized related to performance obligations satisfied as of September 30, 2023.
As of June 28, 2025, revenue for unsatisfied performance obligations expected to be recognized in the future is $16 billion, primarily for IP to be made available in the future under existing agreements with merchandise and co-branding licensees and sponsors, direct-to-consumer (DTC) wholesalers, sports sublicensees and television station affiliates. Of this amount, we expect to recognize approximately $2 billion in the remainder of fiscal 2025, $6 billion in fiscal 2026, $3 billion in fiscal 2027 and $5 billion thereafter. These amounts include only fixed consideration or minimum guarantees and do not include amounts related to (i) contracts with an original expected term of one year or less or (ii) licenses of IP that are solely based on the sales of the licensee.
When the timing of the Company’s revenue recognition is different from the timing of customer payments, the Company recognizes either a contract asset (customer payment is subsequent to revenue recognition and subject to the Company satisfying additional performance obligations) or deferred revenue (customer payment precedes the Company satisfying the performance obligations). Consideration due under contracts with payment in arrears is recognized as accounts receivable. Deferred revenues are recognized as (or when) the Company performs under the contract. The Company’s contract assets and activity for the current and prior-year periods were not material.
Accounts receivable and deferred revenues from contracts with customers are as follows:

For the quarter and nine months ended June 28, 2025, the Company recognized revenue of $0.5 billion and $5.0 billion, respectively, that was included in the September 28, 2024 deferred revenue balance. For the quarter and nine months ended June 29, 2024, the Company recognized revenue of $0.5 billion and $4.8 billion, respectively, that was included in the September 30, 2023 deferred revenue balance. Amounts deferred generally relate to theme park admissions and vacation packages, DTC subscriptions and advances related to merchandise and TV/VOD licenses.
We evaluate our allowance for credit losses and estimate collectability of current and non-current accounts receivable based on historical bad debt experience, our assessment of the financial condition of individual companies with which we do business, current market conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions. In times of economic turmoil, our estimates and judgments with respect to the collectability of our receivables are subject to greater uncertainty than in more stable periods.
The Company has accounts receivable of $1.0 billion at both June 28, 2025 and September 28, 2024 with original maturities greater than one year primarily related to the sale of vacation club properties. The receivables are recorded in other non-current assets. The allowance for credit losses for these receivables and additions to/write-offs against the allowance for the periods ended June 28, 2025 and September 28, 2024 were not material.
