Recognition principles: Revenue is recognized when a performance obligation is satisfied by the transfer of control of the contracted goods or services to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services.
Contract Liabilities: The Company’s primary source of contract liabilities is unearned revenue from subscriptions paid in advance of the service provided. The Company expects to recognize the revenue related to unsatisfied performance obligations over the next twelve months in accordance with the terms of the subscriptions and other contracts with customers. Revenue recognized in the nine months ended June 29, 2025, that was included in the contract liability as of September 29, 2024, was $28.2 million.

Sales commissions are expensed as incurred as the associated contractual periods are one year or less. These costs are recorded within "Compensation" on the Consolidated Statements of Loss and
Comprehensive Loss. Most of our contracts have original expected lengths of one year or less and revenue is earned at a rate and amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer.
